just wanted to bump this back up! Its too good to loose! x x

I think I might as well put my symptoms up, after 3 s in a row! I'm at 16PO today.

I'd like to start by saying that this time I really felt pregnant from just a couple of days after ovulation. I didn't tell a soul cause i thought I would jinx it by saying something. But i was pretty convinced I was - it just felt like that was a fact!

I think what I felt the first few days around OV were simply ovulation symptoms and nothing to do with pregnancy yet, so I won't go into detail there.

Around 6PO I started feeling cramps, similar to OV cramps but also kind of similar to cramps, all over my lower abdomen, sometimes if felt like my belly button was being pulled form the inside, sometimes it felt distinctly like my uterus pulling, other times it was on either side (ovaries or simply my bowels being moved around?). They got worse around 11/12PO, when I think implantation took place - in fact I thought wasa bout to show up! Instead I just had some brown spotting on toilet paper on 13 PO.

Other symptoms: a headache lasting from 11PO to 13PO, sore nipples, oily skin and spots, sore throat, tiredness, a lot of bloating.

Also I didn't recognise this as a symptom, but around 12PO I started thinking kiwis tasted off. I am used to eating a kiwi a day due to health reasons, and it's the first time it happened. Only after I got a positive test did I realise taht perhaps they taste off to me because of the pregnancy and not because they are actually off!

Now I seem to need a 1-2 hour nap in the afternoon, even though I have never napped in my life (not even as a toddler!) in fact, if I do ever nap during the day I feel quite ill afterwards. but not it feels so natural!

also, i seem to be extremely sensitive to movement - when my husband drives it feels to me like he is going over every single pothole in the road!! Before it never felt like that. Also, if someone is smoking, even if they are on the other side of the road, I seem to smell it and feel it in my throat even before I see the cigarette in their hand!

to all the girls who are TTCin, may this be your month!!

Supposed ovulation day by calender 17th july

18th july-?1dpo abdo pain and had a facial and foot massage with a reflexologist who said i had a mass/cyst or something on my right ovary and that i would ovulate around that time (spooky)-she knew nothing of wttc

19th july-?2dpo abdo pain mainly right side, exhausted beyond belief

20th july- ?3dpo abdo cramping with a band of apin across the hips the like of which i have never had in my life and very very tired (in retrospect was this when i ovulated???)

21th july- ?4dpo very light positive on opk??-never had dark positive

22nd july- ?5dpo very very painful right hand side, slept loads and a colleague commented and asked if i was pregnant (a senior doctor in Obstetrics and said he had a sixth sense about these things)

23rd july- ?6dpo could smell vomit everywhere for no good reason- in a station and at work and at home, tingly boobs and really sore bbs- coudl hang your coat on my nips!

24th july- ?7dpo still could smell vomit really strongly everywhere, so tearful, exhausted and tired- an absolute b***ch to the hubby who hasnt a clue whats up...

25th july- ?8dpo so tearful and emotional cried a lot and very sleepy

26th july- ?9dpo yellow cm, funny smells at a friends house, didnt want to be near alcohol even the smell of it- knew i was pregnant.. cant place why but sure i was and even told me friend i was that convinced..

27th july ?10dpo yellow cm ++ tingly bbs again, moody as hell, crying a lot, awake at 3am unusual for me, sure i'm pregnant for no good reason

28th july ?11dpo emotional ++, smelt smoke in bed, white yellow cm, cp low and hardish so thought af might be on her way...convinced preggo though no evidence.. got up at 3am again

i guess i can post on here now!! (sorry for sounding as though im gloating - i dont mean too, but im just sooooooo excited!)

My main sign was the milk thing. I started drinking LOADS (about 8 litres in every 3 and a half days!!!) Oh i got LOADS of cm the week before i tested positive too. Strange for me.

This started about 5 days before i got my

Other than that...i had every symptom going until 3 days before i tested, then i had NOTHING. Not even a twinge until the day after i tested positive!

So there you go!

Good luck with all of yours ladies! x x

I am a bit nervous as I had a chemical pregnancy last month and got a BFP yesterday but this morning saw a bit of pinkish discharge. I am keeping my fingers crossed that its a sticky bean!

The only symptom I've had, besides pinkish discharge today and light brown spotting @ 7DPO is this slight cramp/tugging sensation on my right side of my abdomen that started @ 6DPO. It's been pretty constant and sometimes when I cough or sneeze or make a sudden movement it feels a little sharp but mostly its a dull ache. Other than that, nothing, nada, zilch!

Hi - I am 36 years old and have been ttc since December 2007 (was on the pill for 16 years previously)

SInce about 6 dpo I have had very sore, hot, itchy boobs - they now have dark blue veins and small red broken veins running through them - they hurt even when i'm not prodding at them (at every opportunity!!) to make sure they still hurt ) Again from about 6 dpo I have had strange little cramps and a zapping/fluttering feeling in my lower left hand side of my stomach. I have also had what feel like pins and needles in my legs on and off over the weekend. And I just feel different this cycle.

I tested using internet cheapies at 9 dpo and each morning including today (approx. 13 dpo) - BFN on all of them not even a faintest hint.

AF was due 3 days ago - no sign at all (slight cramping but not the same as usual, feels more like an upset stomach) - I keep running to the loo every 10 mins to check. Plus I have had no PMT at all - hubby is happy

Tested again this morning BFn and just been to the loo - light pink CM was on the TP after wiping...... Damn that is she just around the corner?

I know everyone is different and get their BFP's at different times but this is driving me crazy....
