I swear I am imagining these symptoms but I am making myself excited and I am sure I am setting myself up for a fall.

I have got weird cramps that is a bit like pulling and twinging that varies from the middle to slightly to the left. I am on CD28 and I had cramping on CD15 so I thought that could possibly be due to ovulating?! My cycles can range from about 26-34 days and last months cycle was 26 days. I have had cramps since Sunday CD25 and sore boobs (nipples aren't sore though) since Friday evening CD23. I feel thirstier than normal aswell. I have just bought 3 CB tests so I should hopefully get them delivered on Friday and will test then and on Sat. I really hope this turns out to be it but I can't help thinking that I am going to come on. I only normally get on off cramps on the day before and day of AF. Last month I did have the sore boobs but not cramps like this. What do any of you girls think.

Hey Ange,

Do you know how long your luteal phase (LP) usually is (the part from ovulation to AF)? This is the part of your cycle that doesn't usually change that much, so it would be whether you were past your usual LP that could help determine whether to test. You're 13dpo, right? It certainly wouldn't be unheard of to get a BFP at 13dpo, especially if your LP was usually about 13/14 days.

I know what you mean about being disappointed, but if you think you're having symptoms then I why not do a test sooner rather than later? Not that I am poas advocate at all, actually - I've only tested once in all the months I've been ttc, because I've never really had symptoms that I couldn't (unfortunately) attribute to something else!

Huge amounts of luck and fingers crossed that your cramps are a good sign

love, dats xxxxxxxxxx

Ange-Fingers crossed this month is for you.

Dats- I never know when I have ov'd until AF comes as the OPK's never worked for me. I am guessing I Ov'd on cd15 as I had cramping that day but I may not be right. I really hope I am pg but I don't want to get too excited (even though I can't help it). I am just going to feel shite if I test and get a negative as I have sort of got my hopes up but you know how unpredicatble our bodies can be so it is probably just my AF coming with a vengence.

Babydust to you Dats.

Good morning, how is eveybody today? im on 5dpo slight headaches when i wake, no CM, on odd days i have sore boobs (i do get when AF is due)

Bump.. I love reading these

Good afternoon, I've been lookng at the 2WW symptoms and think I have none of them. I've been TTC since May 06 and am feeling a bit dissapointed as nothing has hapened. I'm now in my 2WW and have none of the symptoms listed by everyone else. Does this mean there's no chance that I'm PG? Can you be PG and have no symptoms at all?
I was also just wondering how long everyone else has been TTC for? I'm beginning to feel abnormal as everyone else around me seems to get PG without even trying. I may go to the docs if I get a BFN next weekend.

Wishing you every luck next weekend for testing.
Don't worry too much about the symptoms - everyone is different. I have been pregnant twice now and my symptoms were totally different both times. First time I had really really sore nipples for a couple of days and then got what I thought was an early period which only lasted a day. It turned out to be implantation spotting. I then went for a walk and felt so dizzy every time I turned my head I thought something must be up, Greasy food made my stomach turn too so I took a test and got a BFP. Unfortunately I started bleeding about a week later and lost it.
The 2nd time I got really grumpy for a day or 2 and thought it was early PMT. Then I got really sharp cramps in my side (implantation again) but it felt like a stitch. I was not trying to get PG at the time so was not symptom spotting but a few days later i was totally off wine (very unusual for me!) and realised that the PMT had not hung around for long so did another test and got another BFP. Sadly after various abnormal scans I had to have a D&C at just over 11 weeks so lost that one too.

So as you can see - the symptoms are so varied.
I have been reading these symptoms on this thread this time - now I am on a true 2WW after trying properly this time round and hoping and imagining I have got all of them!! Wishful thinking I guess.

Join us on the 2WW if you would like as there are quite a few who are geared up for testing next weekend.

I should try not to look out for any symptoms anyway as it'll prob get my hopes up too much. Unfortunately I got a bit of acne yesterday which could mean that AF is on her way. I'm going away on Thursday for a few nights so I'll try to forget about it for a while. I don't want to get too obsessed (too late!!!!). Thanks Billy for the reply. Im so sorry about what has happened to you. I shouldn't feel so hard done by myself after raeding your reply! I may join you on the 2WW at some point
