Hi everyone, am pretty new to this site and have been lovin seeing peoples great news. my DH and I have been TTC since our wedding earlier this year, 2 of my bridesmaids are preggers so I guess I am dragging the chain. My question is can you get the symptoms that AF is about to arrive if you are pregnant - (She is late but still have very sore boobs and had some weird cramps), also I am a Chef and yesterday my sense of smell and taste were all over the place at work.I am hoping this is a good sign. Do you guys think its too early in the peice to test, I am only 2 days late, and I think maybe I am getting my hopes up for nothing ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I wouldn't say it's too early to test if you are already late, and yes, some of the pre-pregnancy signs are remarkably like AF - I'm sure some of the other ladies who are pg will agree that sometimes you can't tell the difference and *swear* you're about to get it...  Good luck and keep us in the loop !------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

Hi Hailstones, I was convinced AF was on her way before my BFP. I had AF cramps from CD26ish and the feeling 'down there' that I always get before AF. Then (.)(.)s got HUGE on the evening of CD29 and I tested on CD33 to get my BFP.
2 days late def isn't too early to test, many tests 'can' detect a positive even 10DPO. Good luck! ------------- Ava Renee Born 18.12.06 8lb15oz |

2 days late seems like a good time to test, to me. I had a faint positive at that stage, and that month, I'd felt very much like AF was on it's way - couldn't have told the difference between the PMS symptoms and early pregnancy to tell you the truth! ------------- Andie |

Test!!! If you are 2 days late and have those symptoms, then test. It's not too soon. I wish you all the best of luck, but just remember if you aren't pregnant, we are all here to support you on your journey anyway. I was sure I was pg this cycle, but it was all in my mind. AF is late, but since I'm spotting she will be here very soon. I really hope you are luckier than me! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

well girls, I tested...BFN. I even tested 2 times, because I thought I could see a very faint line the first time but I think I was willing myself to see it, trying to imagine that it was there, so I went to supermarket after work and negetive. DAMN!! So I guess I'll keep waiting, if AF doesn't arrive by Monday I will test again. But don't worry I will keep everyone up to date either way ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

| try to test in the morning, when its really early on that is the best time to test. I got a bfn the day before my period was due but 5 days after it was a faint bfp and that was doing it in the morning. good luck |

< language=> Hailstones, Can I tell by your ticker that AF showed up? or is that just ticking along? Hope af has stayed away sending lots of baby dust your way. ------------- Tristen - 24/06/07 Rylan - 11/12/08 Angel Babies -14/08/05 & 21/01/2010 Curtis - 26/02/12 |

AF is still a no show, sorry forgot all about the ticker and I think even that is a day late, AF was due on Wed. Just finish a big day at work 15.5 hours and am seriously knackered, I did them all summer and it was sweet but today
I feel very tired and sore. I am either getting sick or am pregnant because my tastes are still funny,eg cream has been tasting like its going off. So will do and early morning test on Monday unless AF shows up ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">
