Calling all symptom spotters!

[mamawanabe21]

Well I went ahead and had my blood drawn at work yesterday and then sent it off to the lab to see if there was any hcg in it. Nothing. It came back negative. Now I don't know if there was a minuscule amount or just flat out nothing. It just came back as negative.

Still no period though. Only creamy white cm. I'll keep waiting...

It could be possible that you hadn't O'd when you thought you had. If you'd O'd late, then your whole cycle would be longer, because of the LP after. And as you're on bcp, I'd say this sounds likely, as most bcp work by stopping ovulation. fx for you though!!

Hey Ladies,
Well, turns out I still haven't had my period. I could be anything from 15-19DPO. I'm a week late. All symptom have stopped (except occasional nausea), not even having mild cramping. TMI WARNING- I had some pinky brown discharge (small amount) on my pad (put one on just in case) but nothing since. I didn't even have any kind of blood when I wipe after nipping to the toilet. Could the pinky brown discharge I've had over a few days (less than a teaspoons worth) have been AF? I'm so confused! I took a pregnancy test 2 days ago and it was negative. Guess I just have to wait it out...

Could be implantation bleeding? Are you sure you are 15-19 dpo? Implantation usually occurs 6-12dpo. If you are a few days off, that's what it could be! And of course a test would be negative since hcg doesn't start to be produced until after implantation. That is why some women can get a BFP on day 8, they implanted early on day 6. I would wait 48 hours and test again with a digital!

usually is a low threshold..see the reference range? when my hospital was private it was <6, now that another facility owns us, it's <2..see if you can check the threshold to be sure?

I wish I could! We had to do it as a send out lab to the major hospital because my small ER doesn't have the machine in yet that can test the range in the blood. I think I'm still going to get the one done at my OB/GYN so they will actually see me. They are insisting I get it done with them. Oh and still no period and negative pee test this morning. AH!

Thanks! I guess we will just wait and see what happens. I'm the most impatient person in the world though... lol

 

[Wishin4BFP]

My last period ended oct 16th and my periods are irregular but usually at the most 35 days the past year.. I have had cramps under my belly button on and off for weeks now I did have watery discharge now its white creamy discharge my boobs are so sore and more firm and sometimes my nipples itch peeing more frequently (maybe) more tired throughout the day but I keep getting BFN?! I am 19 and me and my fiance have been trying for two years now.. I can't get into my dr til Jan 25th? I'm bloated my mother told me I'm looking a little bigger because I am very petite would I even be showing yet? If anyone could help me I'd appreciate it.

 

[Ladybuggz]

Wishin4BFP: WOW! You're really late! Hope you get your BFP!
I'm 10 days late as of today, thought I was coming of last night as discharge was ever so slightly tinged pink but still nothing. Blood wise-nada.

As for symptoms,I'ver had LOTS of food cravings. I nearly ate an entire Battenburg cake earlier...and CHEESE, how I LOVE cheese at the moment.
Also, I seem to have lots of ewcm when I wipe after nipping to the toilet. Weird...

Could I join in, too, please? I would love the help of some symptom spotter!

I am 5 dpo (CD 26 of 33 day cycle, 2nd cycle off BCP) and so far, I have not had any symptoms yet, I did not have during my first cycle at this point: Bloating, slightly swollen breasts, cramps. The last couple days, my lower back has been extremely sore and I am afraid, you could call me mayor of 'itchville; I am very short-tempered these days. My cervial mucus has been all over the place, from dry to white to watery.

Normally, my basal temperature before ovulation is around 97.4 ish, after ovulation, it jumped to 98.01. Since then, it has been slowly inching down: 97.9, to 97.79 today. Is this a bad sign?

As I have not seen any big changes from cycle #1 , I am starting to worry that I did not conceive / implant?

[akilgore2012]

Welcome babydream and Sahnie! FX'd for both of you!!

Unfortunately I'm pretty new to this so I won't be much help in the symptom spotting area. We are trying to conceive our first and this is really only our first month. I've had scares and such, but nothing has ever come out of them. However I wish you luck Sahnie!

 

[BabyDream2011]

Thanks akilgore2012,,

New Update - I went to have a pee and noticed some EWCM in my nicks i have never had this before ever,,

So after sein this EWCM on the toilet paper i did a closer inspection and found alot more inside my um "flower" (sorry tmi) lol anyway i decided to pee in a pot and do my last 10miu IC test and an OPK and as i expected i got a strong OPK and i think i got a FAINT FAINT BFP within 3 mins, i started crying (lightly) and done another test but this was 20miu and red neg so either my levels arnt high enough to get a poss on a 20miu test or my mind is playin tricks (which i dont think it is as i am looking at the test as i write and there is a nice shadow to it,, supose we will see tomoz morning with FMU with the last 20miu test xxxx wish me luck people and loads of baby dust to everybody xxxx

[kimmym]

Welll.I just woke up at 3 in the morning and then threw up.tried to go back to sleep and threw up again when my fiance went to work at 5.I feel like its too early to have symptoms though.so maybe its just a flu :/

 

[Ladybuggz]

Hey Ladies,
Just a quick update on symptoms!
I'm now 12 going on 13 days late. I took a test yesterday (ClearBlue Digital) and it was 'not pregnant'. I feel like I'm going crazy! I understand that I might be having a funky cycle this month but I just feel kinda pregnant. When I look through my diary, the symptoms look pretty good. I'm still suffering cramps and odd abdominal pains :/

Hey Ladies! I hope you don't mind if I join you? I have been stalking this thread for a while and feel like I know you haha!

I am 24, my hubby is 25 and this is our first month of TTC. I had been on the BCP for almost 10 years when we decided we'd like to stop it and see what happens! We got married in July and have been together almost 9 years now!

I can't remember what a natural period feels like really, or have no idea on ovulation etc so I think for a while I will just see how it goes but for the past week or so I have been feeling a bit strange (I know it could just be down to my body getting back to normal but can't help but hope it's something else!). I have been getting on/off mild cramps in my lower abdomen and have been getting lots of EWCM. I have been really tired but have been working nights so it could just be down to that! There have been a few occasions where I thought AF had come really early but it has just been really heavy discharge (sorry TMI). I have also been getting on/off headaches but no other symtpoms!

I said to myself I wouldn't stress myself or try to SS but I just can't help it haha!

Looking forward to sharing all my SS with you lovely ladies x

Hey Ladies,
Something weird happened to day. TMI WARNING- After I got out of the shower this morning I noticed a large blob of dark pinky brown discharge! Is this my period? I'm two weeks late today...

 

[Sahnie]

I took a pregnancy test this morning at 9dpo and it came back at a whopping negative. Not even the pretense of a second line. And then I discovered to drops of pink blood on the toilet paper. Normally, I would think that this means that AF would show her ugly face today, but she is not due until Monday.

Here is what confuses me/I find strange/makes me hopeful:

My temperatures have not yet dropped to the before ovulation level and last cycle, this happened the time AF arrived. Normally, I have tons of milky white discharge before AF. Today, nothing. I am still super bloated, my tummy is crampy, my breasts are full and have blue veins, the areolas seems brown instead of pink, I have suddenly many Mongomerry glands. Here is my chart:

What do you ladies think? Should I cave for this cycle?

How is everyone doing? I'm back in the tww (3 dpo, I think) so thought I'd see if anyone was still here.

 

[animekoneko17]

I'm still stalking the thread! Anyway, I'm 7dpo and tracking all my symptoms this cycle from 1dpo to cross reference in future cycles for my body's reaction to the progesterone from ovulation. I've been keeping track of them in another thread, theres too many to rewrite. They are on here, if you want to see them.

GL and lots of sticky

 

[Smashley25]

Thanks, same to you. Your symptoms definitely seem promising! I'm already trying to SS even though I know it's way too early. I was gassy and constipation 1-2 dpo and today my bottom teeth feel funny, kinda loose almost. But I know I'm crazy!
