Symptoms Before the BFP Happened!

[hardd2011]

6 dpo and still having dull pains. and i swear my boobies are so full and I just bought all new bras. ughh. they had fit perfectly and now they are just so full

 

[juicyfruity]

1 week into TWW started feeling tender breasts (extremely sensitive to the cold! was in a cold mall and my nips hurt like CRAZY!)
Was feeling very tired
Felt like 'something was happening' inside me but still didnt suspect pregnancy

at about 10-14 dpo started having mild cramps. different from period cramps... i normally have extremely painful period cramps coupled by passing blood and clots. Never cramps without sign of AF
EXTREMELY tired, fell asleep at 7pm got up the next day at 10am.
period is late by one day, strongly suspected pregnancy because of the cramps and tender breasts (i also never get tender breasts around AF time)
BFP!!!

Tbh for some woman these would be just the same as pre-period stuff but because it was different for ME i suspected something. I had never had bad PMS before, never the tender breasts or mild crampiness. My period always came suddenly and with a bang not with little rumbly warning signs so when i was having the mild cramps and tender breasts and then the EXTREME exhaustion i knew something was up!

Hey All, I will add to this because these threads were so helpful to me!

5-7DPO Constipated (had to take exlax!!)
10DPO - cramps (exactly like AF had just arrived)
11DPO - sore bbs and nipples (I've never had this before at anytime in my cycle, definite red flag!)
12DPO - bbs/nipples still sore, but not as bad. bloated. Strange 'twinges' I had never felt before
13DPO - HPT+! second line was pretty dark too (but not as dark as the control). I had REALLY bad cramping all day. If I hadn't had a BFP that morning I would have taken advil for it.
14DPO - mild cramping/twinges, very tired, almost passed out driving (again, odd for me as I have insomnia)
15DPO - twinges in lower abdomen

Hope this will be helpful to someone. Baby dust to you all!

Test huni!! Have u not yet? If your late it should show , excited !

 

[WantABumpp]

Test!!! Test!!!


Hi ladies! I've been away for a few days. Your symptoms are exciting! I still have the weird things in my lower pelvis and i'm SO ITCHY with slightly tender nipples, which is very strange. I caved and took a test and i am only 7dpo day and it was bfn but thats ok! I am also very wet down there... did anyone have this with a + test? I know each woman is different but i'm just curious!

 

[KLA85]

I did feel 'wet' last week, my underwear was always wet when I went to the bathroom... always clear fluid though.
Things are sounding good for you!!

Test!!! Test!!!

I actually made a little thread about wetness lol: https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/pregnancy-first-trimester/1715057-cm-before-bfp.html

Apparently yes it happens, but not to everyone just gotta wait it out.

I think my other response was incorrect. I still have all of my symptoms. the nausea will not leave!! I drink my coffee and an hour later, it wants to come up. My can of soda? Forget it. The taste is HORRIBLE and causes heartburn.

Now that being said, I'll give symptoms in previous pregnancies lol

#1~~just an over-all "off" feeling. I knew something was going on but didn't know what. Really emotional, kinda queasy for about a week or two, but nothing much. Metallic taste in my coffee. Some breast soreness. Nothing really weird, but I KNEW I was pregnant.

#2~~totally stealth. No symptoms. I took a hpt when my period was due since I was changing birth control and wanted to make sure that nothing was going on. Right away the second line came up. THAT was a shock!!

#3~~Tried to conceive for a month and knew at 2 dpo from my intense headaches that were just not normal. Some light cramping. Implantation spotting. Sharp shooting pains in my boobs. Not nipple tenderness, just pains. I would go for a daily latte and a week after conception, I'd drink it and throw up about an hour later. I knew what to look for that time and you name it, I had the symptoms. I started testing early, got a light bfp on an ic at 8 dpo, nothing on frer. 11 dpo, I had dark lines and positive digi but still nothing really on frer. Not until I had blood work to confirm pregnancy did the frer work for me.
I hope this helps someone!!

 

[Reneton]

Me too!!! I'm now almost seven weeks, and still, this is my only symptom. Other than in the morning if I don't eat in the first hour of being awake, I get nauseous!!

 

[Reneton]

Sorry ladies, this was supposed to be a reply to someone on this thread. I'm not great at using this site yet!!

 

[waiting2012]

Let me tell ya..I'm still in utter shock...
13 dpo--finally got 2 def lines on my .88 cheapie test! Breast twinge with pain every now and then, A LOT of "gushes"--loads of very wet cm. A bit of nauseasness at the smell of Orange air freshner.. Right hip/groin still a bit sore..
12 dpo-maybe lines?? Breasts have def swelled and my bra is so tight around and the cups aren't even holding the girls hardly.. ... cm is milky but very wet.. right hip and groin area--sore..
11 dpo--VERY EMOTIONAL.. Just down in the dumps for some reason. Went to bible study and everyone noticed how tired I appearred.. Also while at bible study--felt like someone punched me right up through my va-ja-ja through my cervix..It was a sharp pain but didn't last long--just a matter of seconds.. Breasts still swelled but not sore or itchy.
10 dpo--VERY EMOTIONAL... Everyone and everything has me in tears.. I don't know what else to say about it.. Got into an argument with my dh--and man was I P.O'ed..

Other things I've noticed--lots of sneezing, and heartburn (not sure when they started though), cravings for spicey food, noticed OJ didn't set right with me at 12 dpo--so I guess it's an orange thing..LOL.. Still have waves of nausea, peeing a bit more even though I'm not drinking more.. And very vivid dreams the last 2-3 nights--and I don't have dreams very often because I'm usually too light a sleeper...Never really took that as a sign but I guess it is.. My hair is very oily too, but my skin isn't terribly oily, and my skin has been a bit itchy above my elbows--like around my shoulders and upper arms--I even changed soaps thinking it would go away--and noticed another thread that asked about itchy skin.. I'm sure there's more but right now--I'm still Godsmacked that my prediction in 2012 (March) from Gail has come about... I was told that I would conceive in January 2013--and I would deliver a healthy baby boy in 2013 and this would be my last...

Editing: Forget to mention the HEADACHES!! I usually get them a day or two before AF--I guess that was really the earliest sign for me because I was about 3-4 dpo when they started....

Congrats Waiting2012!!
I had the exact same thing happen...totally did not think I was pregnant (because I alllllllllwaaaaaaays symptom spotted) but in the back of my mind, I had a "hunch". I've noticed my hair being oilier as well. I also found my dreams to be very very bizarre!
That cramp/punch that you felt...I had the exact thing five days before I tested. I stopped me in my tracks and I thought "ohhhhhhh my goodness...what the heck was that?!?!" I got very worried. Then three days later, I had those twinges everyone talks about and I knew. Next day was a BFP.
Because I had next to no symptoms, everything I googled ended up not even helping me!

day 34 is how many days past ovulation?

I really want to open the door to people to be able to compare their symptoms to other people's symptoms of pregnancy. I know I am not the only one out there who has Googled pregnancy symptoms and had next to no matching symptoms but got a BFP!
So here is the thread for us ladies to share our experience for other women out there who are in that horrid two week wait, comparing every pregnancy symptom, but getting no conclusions, and most of all, feeling alone.
Here are my symptoms and some temps:

I used the app from Android Play Store to track all symptoms.

Dec 20-day 1 of period
Dec 24-last day of period
Dec 26 (day 7)-Creamy
Day 8-EWCM
Day 10-EWCM
Day 11, 12, 13-EWCM
Day 14, 15, 16-Watery
Day 16-Ovulation Day
Day 18-Sticky
Day 19-Damp, Very tender breasts
Day 20-97.9 (4 DPO)
Day 21-97.7, dry tender breasts (5 DPO)
Day 22-97.8, tender breasts
Day 23-97.6, extremely tender breasts
Day 24-98.0, extremely tender breasts
Day 25-98.0
Day 26-97.9, tender breasts
Day 28-98.1
Day 29-97.9 again boobs HURT!!! Wondering when af is coming. Had a really bad cramp for about 20 seconds
Day 30-mild headaches, feeling sort of like af is coming
Day 31-97.9-where is af?
Day 32-boobs hurt. Even a bra hurts.
Day 33-97.6-Getting suspicious, Googling every symptom (even though I am symptomless...)
Day 34-Caved and took a HPT.
and I felt soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo dumb!
I had no idea. I didn't suspect, or stress, but nothing on the internet helped me. I hope that all of us can support others with situations like this!

Oh yes--the dreams are CRAZY!! Had one last night that I was walking around--not sure where??? and I was removing everyone's UNI-BROW! LOL... Nothing like dreaming of waxing everyone's eye brows... It was absolutely the strangest so far.. I mean who does that??? And I don't even mess with my own but for some reason--my eye brows were the only ones not growing together...

 

[babychka]

great thread keep it going! 10dpo with nausea and R sided twinges, swollen booba but not sore.. bfns so far...

 

[Nazz4]

Oh my gosh, please don't get me started on the ridiculously weird dreams I've been having...! Anyways I'm 13 dpo now, took a FRER yesterday (12 dpo) with FMU and absolutely nothing still no af, my nipples started getting a teeny bit sore as of last night. The bumps on my nipples seem like they are getting larger or something (you know those montgomery glands or whatever). Boobs still itchy from time to time. Sneezing, burping, farting , hiccuping, stuffy nose, nasal drip, slightly sore throat, constipated, and last night diarrhea. I feel like a baby myself with all these bodily functions!! I told my friends on another thread that if I'm not pregnant OH is in for one hellofa period, and if I am he's in for onehellofa 9 months!!! So I have a few walmart cheapies waiting for me in the bathroom, I'm going to take one every other day until AF or BFP. So I will let you guys know what happens tomorrow morning! Hopefully only good things! fxfx and hang in there all you TWWatiers.
