    How you can tell if your NOT utd.

    So we all know what the signs of early of pregnancy are (especially us LTTCers) But I want to know reasons that tell you you aren't getting a BFP this cycle.
    AF came for me today and the reasons I knew she would are:

    1. AF sore boobs are a completely different kind of sore than utd sore boobs (sore from the centre not the sides)
    2. Insanely hungry by 5dpo (as if hunger kicks in at 5dpo when you are utd)
    3. Loose bowels (always happens before/during AF for me)
    4. Headaches a few days before.

    So I can safely say that I am let down by 5 dpo most cycles, no need to test because I already know. Hey, at least I will save on HPT's.


    What are your signs?

    The fact that I had sex with my husband is a sign I am not UTD lol kidding!!!
    I get a bad headache a few days before AF so I know she is coming

    For me, if I thought I was pregnant...I wasn't. When I was sure I was getting AF, I was All except this pregnancy, when I knew I was.

    I don't get AF normally so for me, while i am still on progesterone prior to my BT, AF won't appear. So it's generally an absence of cramps (because when I got pg, I had cramps itms).

    I have felt signs of not being utd for so long that if anything was to change I would know. Except my m/c last year. Every symptom I felt had a reason behind it and the biggest indicator of all that I thought I wasn't utd-I had AF! These were my symptoms and what I thought it was:

    1. AF came and went.
    2. Sore boobs went as AF finished (but then came back the day before I tested)
    3. I was taking metronizadole antibiotic witch left a horrible metallic taste in my mouth and made me feel nauseas.
    4. For 2 days I was so tired and felt like absolute crap. But Dh and I had 2 massive fights leaving me crying myself to sleep and therefore waking up feeling awful and puffy eyed.

    The only thing I thought was strange was I could smell a ladies perfume from the back of house at work. Then i tested the next day. I would like to think that had it not been for the fights, AF and the antibiotics, I would have known.
