I lurk here a lot since my February early miscarriage but I rarely post. This is the first cycle since the m/c that we have ttc. You ladies have such good information, I thought I would get your opinion on this cycle:

I got a (+) OPK on CD18
We BDd CD 18, 19, 20, 21, 22

Of course I have symptoms (who knows if they are all in my head):
Sore boobs (but different than regular PMS)
Nausea (but not throwing up)
Lightheadedness
Tiredness
Cramping--feels a lot like pre-AF cramping but has been around since right after O
My cervix has been pretty much unreachable since Monday, CD 29.
NO excess CM

I took an HPT on CD 28 and CD30, both were negative. AF is not due until Friday or Saturday.

My question is for those that have gotten BFP, did the cramping feel like you were about to start AF any moment? If AF is coming, should my cervix begin to drop soon considering AF should be here in two days?

I hope I'm not reading too much into my symptoms. I know that I probably tested too early, and I don't plan to test again until Friday morning (approximately 14 dpo). Hopefully, I will get good news on Friday.

Thanks for listening. You ladies are great.

I would definitely test either tomorrow or Friday. I hope it's a BFP for you. The symptoms sound good. KUP

Hmm I agreee that they do sound promising. you may have just had a late implant, so id say test friday KUP!!

Sounds like it is a good possibility. With a + opk on cd 18, alot of times you don't O until the next day or the day after, so around cd19 or20 could be your O date. If that is the case you would have tested around 8 and 10 dpo. I didn't get my bfp until 12dpo this time. So I would say test again tomorrow or Friday.

My symptoms were tired, extra cm (not normal for me), sore bb's (again not normal for me), cramping but not like af more like O pains, and lower backache all day long (that is normal for me around af). I hope you get to see that bfp real soon!!

I vote that you wait to test again until Saturday. That way you know for sure or not if the test is accurate. It could also be too early to get that + that you're looking for.

What CD were you on when you got your + last time? How many DPO?

I hope you get a blaring when you test again this week!!!

Thanks ladies. I appreciate your input. I will let you know the outcome on Friday or Saturday when I test again.

As for last time, I have no idea at what point I got my BFP. In January, I had a (+) OPK on 01/06/08, got (-) HPT on 1/19/08, started bleeding (thought it was AF) on 01/25/08. On 02/15/08 I got a BFP--I was ruling out pregnancy so doctor would prescribe medicine to stop what I thought was a never ending AF. So no way to know for sure how many days dpo I was when I got my last BFP.

Thanks again ladies. Congrats to everyone who has gotten their BFPs and lots of luck to all of us still trying.

Those symptoms sound great to me. I would wait until Friday or Saturday to test again.
