Hi Laureen!

It sounds like you've ovulated to me! I feel like I am pretty in tune with my body... I actually don't get ewcm but the watery cm tells me I am about to ovulate, plus I am way more turned on when I'm ovulating.

I don't track my BBT (yet) so I guess I might be wrong, but AF does tend to arrive 14 days after the day I suspect ovulation.

I'd say if you go from ewcm to no cm, that's a very strong sign you've ovulated. Is it possible your cycle this month could be a little shorter? Or are you always 31 days? I am veeeery irregular. But if you did ovulate yesterday, then your AF should arrive probably on the 15th... or if your luteal phase is a little longer (like 17 days) it could arrive on the 18th which is bang on 31 days if my math is right...

Those calculators are always a guess, I think. Only your body really knows what's going on for sure!

I know the original post is over a year old, but that's what I'm wondering too! I ALWAYS have extremely tender breasts for at least a week before AF starts. They are so sore that I have to sleep with a bra on and sometimes shower with a bikini top.

Right now I am 11DPO and I'm not even wearing a bra. I have no other symptoms but I'm hoping this might be a good sign, too...

Thanks so much for posting this! It's so lovely to hear people's success stories. Often we just hear that people are praying for a BFP then they disappear!

pla2pus09 - Good luck! How are your symptoms now? Won't be long till the shot has worn off!

aalvis - Are your symptoms unusual for you or could they just be PMS?

Baby dust to you both!

Hi amai312 - welcome and thanks for sharing your symptoms. It's fine by me if you aren't actually TTC! Glad to have you either way. :)

I had cramps and twinges last month way before AF, which was unusual for me too, and I did get my period right on schedule. Don't know why that happened... I spotted too, which has never happened to me before but it wasn't at 7DPO like you it was more like 14DPO, and went on for a day before AF came. Yours might be implantation bleeding!

Keep us posted...

hopeful9 and stylusstar2000, lots of to you! I hope you both get your BFPs! Would love an update once you know!

DH and I don't get to try this month because he has a huuuuuge work thing coming up next March that can't be rearranged, would be right around the baby's due date if we conceived and he would be out of town. So I am bummed about that! Now that we are TTC I don't want to stop!

But you better believe I am going to be symptom spotting like crazy next month! haha - I figure as long as I am trying to be objective it's okay to also be a little obsessive.

Hi Lori4dmb! Your symptoms sound veeeery exciting!

Unfortunately I got AF bit time-o today, so now have to gear up for next O day. :) It's pretty amazing that I felt like I had all of those symptoms and it turned out to be nada. I also had taken 5 HPTs and all were BFN... so I don't think it could have been a chemical pregnancy even.

So I tried to be rational about my symptoms but it still was a weird cycle for me with cramping way earlier in my cycle, no acne breakout, and that suuuuuuper weird lard taste I got in my mouth at 5DPO or something.

I so hope you get your BFP - I think your symptoms sound veeeeery promising, more intense than mine. Keep us posted with your HPT! GL!

Thanks for writing back rupeekat!

Got cramping and light pink/brown spotting today. Feels like my period but is way too light (and I've never spotted like this before). I'm 14-17 DPO so could easily be AF too. If AF hasn't started by the AM I am taking a test!

Anyone else want to share their symptoms and discuss?? xo

Just wanted you to know that I loved your story and hope you get your BFP! It's so exciting to get symptoms that can't really be explained by your normal PMS stuff.

A missed period and two positive HPTs is a veeeery good sign that you are preggers missy! Go see your doc to confirm with a blood test!!
