Me and OH have decided to do the 'not trying, but not preventing' approch and tbh i'm feeling so much more relaxed about it all now

Anyhoo, I believed I ov'd on the 1st july as i've always got ov pains when I ovulate. It just so happens we BD'ed that eve too. Fast forward to 11th July (Mon just gone) and I was getting really bad AF cramps that continued Mon, Tues and Wed..usually more on an evening (not sure if thats cos I was resting so noticed them more) but the were quite intense. Wed and Thurs I also got a back ache that kind of radiated all across my lower back. I just figured it was AF on her way which was due thurs (Friday latest). Well it never came I've been feeling a tad lethargic and achey too, and past few days my di-di's have been so sore..like they are bruised from the nips outwards.
So Yesterday (15 dpo) I did a preg test (internet cheepy) with FMU and it was BFN - but AF still not here and i've still got these symptoms..It honestly not me symptom spotting cos I've just accepted that it'll happen when the time is right,

But this missing AF and sore di-di's is just confusing me now I'm 16 dpo and only usually have a luteal phase of 13 days
Also past 2 days, i've had like pulling/twinging pain in my groin (overy region) if I move suddenly, sneeze or cough..its like a sudden sharp pulling and even now I keep getting what feels like mild AF cramps and I think oh, this is it! Then nothing

What do you think? I would have though if I was pg with symptoms i'd get a BFP by now.

Sounds good. I found the internet cheapies were rubbish as I only got the faintest of faint lines with them and know I had really high hormone levels as the hospital did a blood test. I'd test with a cb digi if af doesn't turn up soon

Thanks hun. I googled Internet cheepy's BFP pic's to see and I must admit this one lady's pic didn't actually get a dark test line until 20dpo

But I didn't even get a faint faint line and it was FMU so figured it was a true BFN.

It sounds really like you are pg, but I know you are kinda in limbo and dont wana get your hopes up even though you are relaxed about it.

Id do a CB digital 2moro if you can afford it. Mine was soooo faint even on a normal CB on the day AF was due, did a CB digital and it came up pg - no messing about & holding it up to the light required. Your symptoms sound like mine too, about 3-4 days after BFP I had really bad backache.

Really hoping this is your month! x

i hope you get the bfp zee , but f AF does show at least you will know either way x x

Zee, your symptoms sound exactly like both my pg's early days!

I gave up with IC's, I only got a positive with them 5 days after I had found out with another test....I purely carried on testing with them to see when it would bloody show up (and even then it wasnt dark!)

I know theyre not cheap but I only trust First Response's, they have picked up 4-5 days before AF both times for me (it was very faint mind), but they very quickly got darker over next couple of days

I hope youre relaxed approach does the trick my lovely xx

ye[ sounds promising I never got a BFN with internet cheapies and we only bd on ov day and now i cant stop chucking up!!

Splash out and get an asda own they r good

Zee I think that it deffo sounds like you could be pg. I would buy a test from yuor local chemist tomorrow if AF is still not here. Best of luck xx

Grab a clear blue! Really hope this is your month Zee! xx

Have u been to the shop yet woman we r all waiting All the best of luck 2 u babes XXX

haha yeah come on Zee

fingers crossed x

Test Zee. I want to know the result Good luck

fingers crossed for you.

but i found IC crap

Get a decent PG test!!
Are your cycles normally iregular?

Just a little update ladies, I went out and bought a superdrug test (they never failed me before) and I got a BFP

That's great. Congratulations

congratulated on FB but, again, congrats lovely! So so so pleased for you!

Mandy xx

Thanks again Ladies - its starting to sink in now
OH still in a bit of shock lol I don't think he (we) were expecting it to happen anytime soon as we'd been officially TTC for 6+mth and no sucsses, then the one month we only BD'ed once and bam!!
