I haven't suffered constipation Wishing but sounds a horrible symptom! I almost feel in early labour the way my back aches and cramping!! The nausea seems to have subsided but it was mild but frequent over the last fortnight.

I wonder if this is common its just that when we are activelyttc we test too early because we are too sure of dates? I think I was about 6 weeks (from lmp) with my dd and ds pregnancies but am only 4 weeks 5 days from lmp now.

Maybe it is too early...its the 6days before af claim from first response that is frustrating me.

im so glad im not the only one like this - i really thought i was going insane!! no i havfe none this would be the first - well i do have a step daughter but not really the same is it - this would hopefully be the first pregnancy for me! ive been hoping the same - people who arent actively ttc would not test for 5/6 weeks would they a few weeks after lmp - im hoping that cos we are trying we are just being a bit impatient and its too early to detect!

ive been weeing a lot last few days as well.

cinbstipation is terrible - DH husband joked that i wont cope with labour if i am pregnant if constipation was so painful! - DH is starting to get excited now, he has gone to work but hoping we soon get a positive!!

Have fingers crossed for you! (and me ) nap with the weeing too!!

Thi site www.hip-chick-pregnancy-guide.com/due-date-calculator.html says first day to test for me should be this wed 24th (7 days late) which would be 5 weeks - i really think it must be that its too early - ive never missed a period without being pregnant. When was your lmp?

Be great to have 2 bfps on our shiny new thread soon! Take care x

Hi guys,

I'm not coming to join you, as I'm not late and am also probably not PG this cycle.

Just wanted to pop on to say, firstly - good luck. I hope you both get the results you want.

Secondly, and this is my experience so go with me here. Do you guys know what date you ovulated?

My cycles are a little irregular. Nothing major, but they do vary from 28 to 35 days. This month I am on cycle day 31 and so would normally be reaching for a HPT, but I know what day I ovulated and that AF will come exactly 14 days later. My test/AF day for this cycle is Friday 26th (CD36).

I guess I'm giving you some hope that it could be too early test, but also a way of knowing if you guys really are late. Oh...must just add that the luteal phase duration (from OV to AF) does vary in people. Mine is a very regular 13 days.

Hope this helps!
Good luck,

BSL x

Doctors was a complete waste of time! they wont do a blood test til your 2 weeks late!! theyn are no help at all, even when i pointed out if i was lucky enough to be pg isnt all the wondering etc etc stress for you and the baby!?! unnecessary stress?? i just got told to come back in 2 weeks!! on a good note dr didnt rule out that i wasnt and did say it wasnt unusal for hcg not to be detectable on a urine pg test until 5/6 weeks - arrgh!! xxx

I got a BFP!!!!

(well more of a TFP (tiny faint positive!!) last night- rechecked the test (a first response) and there it is. Should've had more patience in watching it!! Am going to do another one in a couple of days hope it gets darker!

So officially this is a lucky thread

Fingers crossed now for you wishing... I will stay on this thread do find out Don't worry about docs - I am sure you are just testing too early like me (I got my very faint bfp at 6days late) x

Hi everyone - can I join in. I am cycle day 34 of a normal 30 day cycle though have gone up to 36 days before. This month had second wave of ewcm though on day 24 so maybe that was ovulation in which case I'd be due Fri/Sat. Did first response test this morning anyway and was negative.No huge symptoms except occasional sore boobs - they hurt when I sneezed yesterday! - and dry mouth (maybe beginning of a cold!)

FANTASTIC news wishing

I knew it What a lucky thread

A positive is a positive - mine were so faint i thought i was imagining it. Took ages to come as well - I did a tesco one yesterday and that had the same very faint result. So obviously v early days for us both - and we can wait for may/june imaptiently together!!

No -its not sunk in properly yet - esp as I don;t want anyone to know yet - but I so do want to tell everyone!! LOL

Welcome yellowflowers - hope the babydust here is lucky for you too!

BTW I am the very worst person to say this because I have tested every day for nearly a fortnight - but ime i wold wait 48hrs for another test to give the HCG time to rise - mine today was as faint as yesterday (just trying to save you money and stress....but if you are anything like me you will do it anyway...)

Docs were no help to me Orange!! said i had to be 2 weeks late before they would do a blood test! im still not 100% im celebrating a bfp yet the line was oh so very very faint i want to wait until is a bit more definate before i get excited - dh was sure it ws a line but it was like 9 mins before i was sure i coud see anything!! ive been very sicky today and im exhausted looking forward to a few days away in a posh hotel before coming home to a bfp!! Im trying to tell myself to wait till monday lovebingamummy but i know i wont i know i will end up trying again in the morning!! i have too more tests but im not wnating to buy any more for a while - today i havent been as stressed - its sort of feeling a bit like i could be today but still not quite allowing myself to celebrate!!!

We must be very close together love being a mummmy if i do get a bfp!!

All my lucky wishes wizzing your way yellow and orange!!

Wishing - a faint line is still a positive, but I know what you mean. I know the docs might wait till two weeks late but have to do something before I go mad.
Thanks for the lucky wishes

Right Im off to the docs now.
Think this is sending me a bit mental, beginning to worry if this is sign of early menopause as Im sure preg could of been picked up by now, how silly is that?

HI all

I was CD35 orange - but i'm not sure how long my cycles are (am now thinking around 28days) as this was first month of trying.

Did a digital test today - the 'pregnant' is so much nicer to see than squinting at a very very faint line! Perhaps try that on your return Wishing? I am due May 27th - and you 29th I think??

yellowflowers, hoping next month is yours x

And good luck for bloods orangehead x
