13 DPO. Tried not to symptom spot

[PJS1982]

So like the title says..I was doing so good! Then I posted my chart on FF and some ladies commented to say it looks like a pregnancy chart with possible implantation on 9DPO so now of course, my hopes are all up and I'm looking for anything and everything to help hold me over until AF is supposed to be here on Sunday. All tests have been BFN, but I was dumb and just taking them mid-day without even holding urine, so I'm holding out now with my last FRER.

I was wondering if any of you had these as symptoms? Boobs aren't sore really more than usual pre-AF, but they feel horribly itchy and warm and my armpits hurt when I'm wearing a bra ONLY. When I take off the bra, the soreness in them goes away but I still feel like my armpits are being poked by underwire. Also, my face is pink and my day time temps have been between 99.4 and 99.8 and I get hot flashes (thought that only happened in menopause!)

I've been pregnant 5 times before, two of those were chemicals and I had barely any symptoms with those. Just back ache and cramping. With my 3 successful pregnancies, my only signs to test was late AF, tingling in nipples and my skin did not break out before AF like it always does. (A pimple or two on my chin or forehead)

This week, I have broken out on my back, my neck, my forehead, my temples, tiny white bump on my nose! and my CHEEK and jawline. I have never in my life had a zit on my cheek! They are small, but it's like my skin is greasy? or something...

Well, those are my "symptoms" that I swore I was going to ignore this month! Any of these sound familiar to anyone? My husband is gone all week for work and only home on weekends, so I'm trying to hang on to my tiny shred of hope before he gets home and I can have my big old cry.

You very well could be, but it could also be pms My pms is different from month to month except the mood swings lol I always get that. I hope you get a bfp! I'm also trying to conceive #4

I too am 13dpo! I have tested a few times now with bfn! Not even a slight chance of any sign of 2 lines. I am not out until af arrives, but have a feeling I am not pregnant. Though these days I dont really give my feelings to much credit, last month I would have swore I was pregnant and was not! This month I have only had back pain, mild lower abdominal cramps. I used a home opk so I knew when to do the bd, so hopeful but not convinced Best wishes for you to get a bfp!

I always chock my "symptoms" up to wonky PMS. It seems our bodies like to F with us the instant we start TTC!! Grrrrr!!

I feel the same way! Then I get this glimmer of hope and get excited for about an hour, then I convince myself that I'm completely out. So frustrating!! I had a ton of cm on 5DPO, and I usually have zilch, so I was like "OH! maybe!" but I was 5DPO, so mmmm nope! Had a dummy moment

13 dpo and I'm testing negative also. I feel my period coming waah I had TONS of cm this cycle also. It's funny tho because when I have the least amount to none visible, I seem to conceive. Like last month I had no ewcm but I got pregnant (mc) and with my other healthy babies I had little to none ewcm. Weird.

I, too feel AF coming. Started cramps on my upper thighs a few mins ago. Poop When I've been pregnant, I never had a ton of cm either! I see all sorts of things and read books saying how in pregnancy you get a "snail trail". Not me! Not once ever! I used to never get EWCM so we use preseed and I started taking vitex and I had a lot of pink tinged EWCM this cycle, so I think that helped! Whether or not I conceived, who knows. With my CPs, I wasn't charting anything so I have no idea. Just had that "knowing" feeling that I was pregnant, took a test and very faint BFPs which turned neg and AF showed the first time 6 days late and the second time 9 days late. I really don't feel pregnant right now at all. Why does this have to be so hard??

I usually don't get much ewcm, but this Cycle was a lot and I know it's was around ovulation because I had a positive opk. But i have had ewcm twice since ovulating.Maybe my body is confused because I know my brain is lol. With my first 2 healthy pregnancies, I knew I was pregnant before I could test positive because I had so much creamy cm. With my last child, I was bone dry until my water broke lol. It would be awesome if we had a for sure symptom lol. November cycle we just went with the flow and had fun. We ended up pregnant so next cycle I'm going to forget about it all and just go with the flow again. I seem to get pregnant easier if I don't think about it.

I like that idea! I got pregnant with DD and DS2 by not thinking about it. I was using a period tracker app and thought we dtd 8 whole days before O, lo and behold DS2 lol We had only DTD twice that month because DH was traveling. I think from now on I'm just going to TRY to forget ttc and go with the flow. It's so hard!! Any sign of AF for you and did you test? I haven't tested today, forgot to poas this morning after running to the bathroom right after taking my BBT. I'm still up there, 98.45 from 98.6 yesterday. Think I might be getting sick though. I have a tickling in my ears when I swallow and bad cotton mouth so maybe I have a slight fever?

 

[AMAS86]

I'm testing negative as of yesterday. I didn't test this morning because I totally forgot lol. My period cramps are stronger and I'm nauseated yet it doesn't mean a thing because I always get cramps and nausea right before me period and during the first half. I have been fighting a cold since yesterday; sore throat, sneezing, coughing. Sucks so bad. Maybe your symptoms are from your eggo being preggo I know mine is a cold because my kids were sick with it last week.

I tried using a target brand blue dye and go figure, it screws up and the entire test window was solid blue. So I got mad and threw it lol oops! So I guess that was a sign to either stop testing or it's just not going to happen this month. Mine had colds the week before I O'd and I was so worried I'd miss it with my BBT because I had to get up and down a zillion times at night. I hope we both get our BFPs this weekend! I either want my BFP or just hurry up AF so I can get on with it and have another go next month. Grrrrr was so hoping for a Christmas BFP, I'd settle for a New Years BFP, but doesn't look like it. My cm is getting watery and strange so I'm thinking my temp will drop like mad tomorrow and I'll wake up with AF. I wish I could be more positive! Do you know how long your LP is usually? I've only done two months on FF and it was 14 days last month, tomorrow will be 15DPO so if AF comes, it will be right on time.

I normally ovulate on day 15 and my lp is 14 or 15 days. Most of the time it's 14. How old are your babie? Mine are almost 7, 5, and 3 1/2. All girls. I want 2 more girls lol

My oldest is a girl, she's 13. My two DS are 3 years and 20 months. I would love another girl!

Temps still up-ish. AF was a no show this AM. I usually wake up with it in full flow on 14 dpo or 15 dpo. Not even pink spotting on my pad, but I'm way too nervous to test though. I think I might wait it out until officially late tomorrow AM if my temps are still up or just wait out till 18dpo to see what my temps do. This is my first time charting bbt so I have no idea what my cycles normally look like. How about you??? Any news?

ETA: Oh I just saw your ticker F'in AF!

 

[AMAS86]

I woke up to horrible cramps and blood on toilet paper when I used the restroom this morning. I hope you get your bfp! I tried to chart my bbt but it's too difficult for me. I'm always up and down thru the night checking my daughters blood sugar. I just rely on opk's and ewcm. I'm not going to purchase opk strip anymore. My cycles are always the same so it's a waste for me lol..

Charting BBT can be really difficult with kids. I have to set my alarm to take my temp at 5:30 am because after that, it varies when my boys wake up. Anywhere from 5:45 to 7:30. How old is your diabetic DD? That must be so hard Poor little

I got a BFN this afternoon on a FRER. Stark white, so white can even see the strip of shiny white where the test line would show if it were BFP. Lame! I'm a little weirded out though because I'm never late for AF, unless I ovulate late and FF confirmed I O'd when I did so I don't know what to think. I'm new to charting BBT, so maybe I messed up somewhere? Who knows. At this point, I'll be glad when AF shows up so I can move on already. I've read some not so good things about late BFPs :/
