Hi everyone. We've been TTC for a couple of months now. AF is due on Sat 12th but it can be irregular so even if it doesn't come on that day, it still could come.

The strange thing is, normally I have VERY sore boobs every month for at least a week before AF. But this month… nothing. Well I say nothing but they are slightly sore near my armpits but only if I push quite a lot…

Now I'm thinking *this could be it* or otherwise I'm thinking maybe I've got my dates all wrong. Sigh!

The other strange thing this month is that I have a very tender pelvic area. On the 6th and 7th I was getting lots of strange twinges around my lower abdomen, and on and off aching in my legs (felt flu-like). Since then the whole area has felt really tender like it has been bruised. It's especially noticeable beneath my hips. I got worried when I started reading up online as there was talk of cysts etc. but it's nothing too painful, just noticeable discomfort (I think it's fading now too).

Has anyone else experienced this tenderness or know what it could be? Could my non sore boobs be a sign – normally getting sore boobs is a sign! I wish I could just *wait and see* but I can't stop thinking about it!

Do you know when youwere due to O? You might have been havong O pains??
Good Luck!

Ovulation was around 26th to 31st Dec so don't think it could be that... Hmmm...

Have you been on BCP?

Nope! Not for a few years anyway...

You could do an early test now......

Eek... do you think? I thought it would be too early. Can't actually get to the shops to buy a test until Saturday anyway so I suppose I'll just have to wait! Argh! The torture! If this isn't it then what the hell is wrong with me?! LOL!!

If AF is due on sat you could get a test that detects early. It's not forced to show anything but they do for some people.

I do think when we are TTC we can sometimes listen to our bodies so carefully that things we wouldnt have really registered become a big deal. As long as AF hasnt shown up it could be 'it'.

I have had those type of symptoms before...and it ended up just being pms and me hyper focusing on everything my body was doing...weird how you notice so much more when your ttc! But taking an early test wouldn't hurt either!! If you are journaling or charting, be sure to note all these symptoms as they will be good guidelines for you when going though a new cycle, but I hope you wont have to get that far Best of luck!

I agreed.

Good luck I hope AF doens't come and you get a
