Little about me first - we lost our been in April when I was 8 weeks.
Since then it took 40+ days for 1st af to arrive, then next af arrived 21 days later.

We decided to take out a chilled out approach so although we were trying no opk's, temping etc.

So around CD8/9 I thought I felt ov pain, and started with fertile cm which seemed to last for a good 10 days.

So tomorrow will be CD22, so it is possible af could arrive tomorrow, but it could be another week (b4 mc cycles were 28 days).

I swore blind I wouldn't symptom spot but a girl just can't help herself can she .

So 2 days ago I sneezed & got sharp shooting pain RHS of groin (had this when pg with DD). When twisted round to grab my jacket from back of the car today got very same pain.

past few days felt 1st thing BUT I keep twlling myself ther is a bug doing the round @ work. Yesterday my DS asked if he could have porridge for breakfast & just the thought of it made me feel

This morning I felt absolutely exhausted & also felt like that yesaterday pm. I keep telling myself the nausea toady is 'cos I feel so tired.

Had to have a mug of tea this pm to settle my stomach (only ever drink tea if pg or feeling icky from tummy bug).

Smell of cooking mince @ tea made me feel as did the thought of the garlic bread. I couldn't eat a piece. BUt once eaten a small amount of spag bol felt a bit better.

Tiredness could be anaemia (as v heavy periods past 2 times) & also fam hist of thyroid probs so could be that.


I am currently talking myslef out of testing. I have 10 IC tests in the cupboard that are calling me.

I know realistically that it is too early to test unless af is due tomorrow) & that my symptoms can easily be expalined away so will you all talk some sense into me please, 'cos I'm driving myself nuts.

hun please please pleasde hold out a lil longer as it probably is to early please dont let yourself in for a dissapointment xx

Thank you.

I might need you to come & sit on me next week tho if af hasn't arrived

lol hun if it meant u not testing early then getting upset coz it a bfn trust me i wud lol when ever u feel u wanna test early distract yourself hun xxx

I keep telling myself if I test it will be regardless 'cos its just way too early.

lol it is early hun but i hope in a week u can test and get a bfp x
