Hello ladies,

Sorry for making a new thread and I hope I am not being selfish but I have done my head in. The next two days are going to be even worse as my DH is away with work and because I am not working at the moment either there is nothing I can do to put my mind off things. This is my story so far, I am now 2 days overdue for AF. Last week I experienced menstrual like pains for a day or so along with increased CM- yellow like. If I get AF pains they are usually on the same day of my AF and not very strong. Around the same time my breasts became swollen, heavy and sore, nipples enlarged and a dark ring circles around them. There are also blue veins through them- quite gross. They have became even more sore now, esp on the sides. I have had cramps in my groin and legs, heart burn perhaps 2-3 times per day, day naps, extreme bloatedness and back ache of which isn't too bad now and my cervix is very high and I can only just touch it with my fingertips so I can't say whether it is closed or soft/hard etc but I have never monitored this before. My big concern which has me worried is my bloatedness. Today my tummy (I think where my uterus is- under my belly button?) is so hard and swollen- looking at me you would think I was already months along. This worries me because last month I had this along with pains and then blood which turned into a M/C. I am so emotional as well, there has been outbursts of pure tears over how bloated and disgusting I look and then 10 minutes later I am ok again.

I think I have taken a test every day for the last week and today as usual the test is a BFN. It is doing my head in!!! I feel pregnant, but maybe I do because my symptoms are similar to last month and that only ended in disappointment and sadness. My DH says that if no sign of AF by monday but I don't think I can wait that long esp without him and my puppy dog doesn't understand. I never have any of these symptoms for premenstrual or if so never this long but surely with all these symptoms then shouldn't the min amount of HCG show in these tests or could it still be too early? I read that other hormones are responsible for symptoms too?

I am just so confused and desperate. If I am not pregnant then are these effects of the previous M/C?

So sorry for my long winded blurb and I wasn't going to write anything and just search for answers but since being here alone I thought there might be other ladies who have been on this emotional rollercoaster before to give me some hope.

Thanks again I would love to hear any thoughts or experiences you have had with symptoms and BFN's.
