@dragonfly23 I'm also experiencing cramping right now. I'm 4dpo and have never had this before. I don't even get cramps with AF so I'm miserable to say the least. I normally just feel the initial ovulation pains but never days afterward. At this point a baby better be setting up it's room in there or I'm going to be upset!

My other out of the norm symptoms are lower back pain, bloating, gas and frequent urination. Like every 10 min no joke. I'm so uncomfortable right now I almost want to take something so I can sleep but I'm sure I have nothing that would help or is safe while trying to conceive.

Hope y'all are feeling better than me. Is anybody testing soon? I have a wait yet so I want to live vicuriously through all of you!

Baby dust!

@Burn2Ash. Oh I agree it would be a inconvenient as we are trusting them to take accurate readings. I swear last month that I felt it travelling down the tubes. Yea I wish our bodies came with a manual and x-ray vision so we can see what's going on lol.

@Mmkohl. I normally cramp a couple days ovulation. Those all look like promising symptoms. I think it be too early for implantation as I think it happens around 6dpo but never know.

So far all I've had for symptoms is a gurgling belly, back right side pain and lower abdominal cramps like AF is going to start. I also noticed that my breasts getting sore and some pinching in the left nipple. Will see what tomorrow brings.

@dragonfly23
I'm glad you found the other one and can get the right numbers
I know it can be pretty frustrating

@3littles3angels
thats amazing. must've been a special moment
I hope as days go by you feel better

@Mmkohl
frequent urination can be annoying.
hope you keep getting your symptoms but nothing too painful and get a BFP

@dragonfly23
I hope your symptoms have nothing to do with AF and you get your positive
let us know

today is my CD 30 and my 4th day spotting it's kind of relish brown
it's early even there only if I wipe or clean from the inside
I never needed to wear anything
symptoms are pinching feeling in breast and nipple, sore underarms, nausea not as much as before. and pinching feeling on both side of abdominal, and headache
took an HPT still negative
I guess ill know for sure after a week

Welp cramps turned in to unbearable pain and an ER visit. My frequent urination was due to an UTI but because I had no pain with it I didn't think much of it so it turned into a kidney infection. So now I'm on two antibiotics and both Tylenol and ibuprofen for pain and whatever pain medication they put in my IV. Hoping none of this would effect baby if I did conceive. I can officially not use my symptoms as pregnancy related symptoms. Im off to bed now as I didn't sleep last night.

Mmkohl -- Oh, no. I'm glad you caught that before it spread further. UTIs are no joke. That's how my DH's grandmother died. She had a UTI that spread to her kidneys and she didn't catch it in time. Super scary, but glad you caught it and got on some antibiotics!

dragonfly23 -- It is getting really hard not to analyze every little thing. It's like I notice stuff but I'm not sure if I'm noticing it because it's different or because I just never noticed it before. I've actually been trying to track my cycles and symptoms for a while, but it seems that my symptoms vary per cycle, making it hard to pinpoint what's different this time. Only thing I know for sure that is weird is the cramping and the moodiness this far from AF. Also, I did notice raised bumps around my nips. But, again, not sure if that's new or if I'm just noticing. Gah!

xSharky7 -- even with a negative those symptoms do sound promising from what I understand. Though I know that chemical pregnancy is possible. I'm pretty sure I've had a few before. Fingers crossed for you!

So 6 dpo, super gas like woah. I'm not usually gassy like this; I'm a belcher instead, but I've had some major bubble gut. Felt another small burning sensation last night in what I think was my left ovary/uterus area. Headache is not as bad today but still present. Super tired; could NOT fall/stay asleep last night. Could be anxiety. My skin has been unhappy for the last few days, which is really odd; I have dry skin and pimples are RARE, even day or two before AF, and I'm still about 7or 8 days away from her visit. Also the raised bumps around my nips and they are sorta sensitive, but not really sore. I actually forgot to temp this morning, but I did have some hot waves (not really flashes) this morning.

Ugh. I dunno.

@3littles3angels what a lovely update! How far gone are you?

@burn2ash your symptoms sound a lot like mine were before I found out. I was super gassy too and kept farting loads haha. Only a few more days until you can test.

@Tashuurr -- Thanks for letting me know that. I just keep hoping that it's not my mind being a jerk. I'm counting down the days to test!

Good day ladies. It seems that ny temps have been stuck at Groundhog day; same temp again thid morning anf I only took it 15 minutes later than usual. I even used the other thermometre just to get the same temp. I went back to bed foe another couple hours; had to pee as well. Woke up a couple hours later and it was at 98.3. This is so weird as I am always in the 98's after ovulation. Cervix feels soft with watery cm and had some left side pain. Wish I knew what was going on and Google really isn't the greatest for info.

@xSharky7. Yes I am glad that I was able to find my other thernometre and that the batteries still work. I am only 5dpo so I don't think my symptoms have anything to do with AF; unless that was meant for someone else; it happens.

@Mmkohl. Oh my gosh. I'm glad you went to the doctor to get it looked at and glad they got you on antiobiotics. I had no idea that UTI can have no symptoms.

@Burn2Ash. I know exactly what you mean in symptom spotting as last month I had no sore boobs or anything like that. I also get raised bumps too; so confusing.

Good morning ladies!

I hope everyone is well. The little "break out" is definitely a little unusual for me, but I noticed that my hair seems greasy. This is VERY odd, because my hair, like my skin, is super dry. I usually can get away with shampooing every other day. I had to wash my hair last night after only one day. Pretty strange. Not sure if that's a thing, but it's odd nonetheless.

This morning, I took my temp before getting out of bed and it was high. 97.4 is actually relatively high for me, since my normal resting temp is usually around 97.0. Let's just say I was never sent home from school for having a fever, because a fever for me was normal for other kids .

Anyways; feeling a bit of an increase in CM, but it's a mix between watery and sticky. Also, last night I had some more pulling/pinching in my lower left abdomen. I'm 7 dpo, so maybe implantation? I dunno. Still gassy, back pain, sensitive (not sore) nips and somewhat tender bbs on the sides only. Also, I have been sneezing like crazy the last few days. I don't have allergies this time of year. Is that a pg thing? Or am I just losing my mind?

::sigh:: Only about a week until the is supposed to show...

@burn2ash your symptoms sound promising! Sending you lots of baby dust. Looking forward to seeing how this cycle ends for you.

AFM bbs are still very sore and achey. My nips are the worst! Can't touch them lol. Really tired - I actually had a nap today for the first time in many years lol. Drs app on Friday to confirm pregnancy. It feels like it's not real at this stage.

Any others ladies close to testing?

@gemstone how are you getting on?
