Symptoms by DPO. AF or BFP??? (please read first post)

[shorty42383]

Hi ladies, I am new here, and am 10dpo today -

My DH and I have very little chance getting PG on our own due to male factor infertility, but we're still trying! This cycle, which is cycle #13 TTC #1, we really gave it our all, and BD'd a lot around O day. Should be due for AF on Tuesday 3/12 and will test that morning.

1-4 dpo - nothing really

5 dpo - runny nose, extremely chapped lips, no matter how much chapstick I used.

6 dpo - woke up with sore throat and swollen glands and post-nasal drop feeling - felt really "run down" and lathargic all day. in evening around 8pm, had random diarrhea even though I hadn't eaten anything that would've caused it

7 dpo - woke up with post nasal drip again and irritated throat, though I feel much better during the day, still having bouts of lethargy. highest temp that morning of 98.46. no sore boobs

8 dpo - temp dip to 97.99, woke feeling more like myself, but still with a scratchy throat, twinges in uterine area, but I wouldnt call them cramps. no sore boobs.

9 dpo - temp back up to 98.18, woke up feeling stuffy and sneezy , runny nose all day, energy level OK though, throat still a bit scratchy. @dinner time, took a bath, and afterwards went pee, and saw pink cm on the tp when I wiped, just the one time, then nothing. checked cervix, clean finger, no sign of AF, closed cervix. became more lethargic, sneezy and had more of cold as the night went on.

10 dpo - temp up higher to 98.26, feeling miserable with head cold still, now ear pain in both ears. continued mild pinchy cramps on and off - very brief not like AF. cervix still closed. tested this afternoon with FRER at 3pm after 3 hour hold, BFN. AF due in 2 more days.

11 dpo - temp came back down to 97.97 this morning, starting to feel out - have that heavy feeling in uterine area like AF is on her way. Still have head cold/sneezing/ear pain. Sharp pains just to the left and behind my belly button

12 dpo - tested this morning, BFN - AF showed up about 20 minutes after I tested!

Oh well, I have my first appointment with the DR. to begin the IVF process tonight!

AF always shows up after I test!! How annoying is that?!?! Sorry you didnt get your BFP but good luck next cycle! Hoping the Dr's visit is productive!

0dpo - sore/tender boobs, EWCM & bad ovulation pains
1dpo - sore boobs & light cramps
2dpo - sore boobs
3dpo - sore boobs

5dpo - sore boobs (uncomfortable to sleep), stuffy nose at bedtime & bloated
6dpo - sore boobs (pain increased), increased appetite, sore throat in morning & bloated
7dpo - sore boobs, bloated & light cramps after , waking up at 6.30am needing to go toilet, increased appetite.
8dpo - sore boobs, increased appetite, bloated, waking up at 6.30am needing to go toilet straight away, irritated/moody.
9dpo - sore boobs, went up a cup size and breasts feel full and heavy, bloated, moody, waking up at 6.30am needing to go toilet.
10dpo - boobs super senitive and feel huge! Bloated really bad, weird tinges/cramps, emotional, craved nachos then felt sick halfway through eating them.

I hope these symptoms are not just in my head. Praying for BFP!!!

11dpo - sore boobs (STILL!), bloated, ate a piece of toast halfway through tasted like fish, ate an icy pole halfway through tasted like dirt, nauseous between 7am - 2pm but starving by 3pm & weird tinges/cramps.

12dpo - sore boobs, bloated, fatigue, weird tinges/cramps (not as many crazy symptoms just the main ones)

I am not feeling pregnant I just feel normal but when the witch shows I only cramp an hour or so before she shows. I am not looking forward to if that happens tomorrow since I am due.

I am out.

Two minutes before midnight I saw pink CM, but it was the beginning of AF. At least I can track a regular cycle now, but I am really let down.

We BDed so much in the fertile days. All my friends have toddlers or kids in school, and they all were pregnant as soon as they decided to try.
The roller coaster and two weeks wondering really suck too.
Lastly, that was it for a 2013 baby.
Sorry, as I said, I am really let down.

So Sorry you didn't get your BFP this month! I totally understand the disappointment. A lot of my friends are thinking about trying for their 2nd child... it's really hard because you want to be happy for them but are disappointed that you dont have your first yet! Keep trying and it is totally okay for you to be disappointing and let down. Just make sure to bounce back from it and keep trying!

Has anyone been pregnant but had little to no CM during the tww?

 

[Left wonderin]

Me on my first pregnancy , didn't notice any symptoms at all until after AF . Sadly that beanie didn't stick so hoping for a BFP soon

 

[miss_kseniya]

Has anyone been pregnant but had little to no CM during the tww?

Me with this one. I had one random amount of ewcm (tiny amount) on about 8dpo which i only noticed the one time when I went to the toilet and wiped and a small amount of watery cm on 12dpo. Otherwise absolutely nothing until after my AF was late and I had my BFP. After then, it has been nothing but watery which keeps making me run to the loo to check i'm not bleeding!

I didn't really have many symptoms before BFP but my post is on here somewhere hun xx

Oddly my AF was super short and light... much lighter than it has been and barely two days long. That leaves me wondering. Gah. Just what I need are more unusual things to obsess over.

Same thing happened to me in Feb actually, it was likely due to Vit D definiciency xx

 

[Luvthejourney]

This is my first time posting and my 3rd month TTC. I was training for and running a marathon with my hubby in December and January, so this is the first month I thought we might have a shot.

1-4 DPO no symptoms
5 DPO headache all day and tired
6 DPO Medium AF cramps all morning, bloated
7 DPO constipated (new prenatal vitamin?) and occasional sharp twinges in my nipples.

Any thoughts?

 

[TayBabes92]

I'm will waiting for AF to show and I haven't tested at all yet. I hate the TWO WEEK WAIT!

I didn't know that was a thing. Hmmm.
Sometimes my D levels are very low.

Sometimes my D levels are very low.

I started taking Vit D tablets and eating more Vid D rich food (fish oil, salmon, milk, butter...) and the following month my period lasted way longer than usual.. Vit D levels and fertility are interlinked actually.. Not surprisingly, the month we had almost no sun, my AF lasted hardly a day and a half!! x

Yes, that was me last month.

Sounds promising... when do you plan on testing for pregnancy? Hoping for you to get your BFP!!

[Jelly.Bean]

As I write this I'm 5 DPO I haven't charted/payed attention to my cycles before, so I don't have much to compare to what is "normal" for me, but I would think that sore bbs is a LP symptom with or without AF.

This time around I had sore bbs around O, but now it's gone

I have spell of nausea, but that too I can chalk up to the Progesterone in the LP.

I have twinges in my uterus...but she's a organ living with the constant tides of hormones so why wouldn't she make herself known throughout the cycle

My pelvic bone feels a bit...weird - like it's sore (I remember having this feeling when I was carrying my older kids, but that was waaaaay out in the pregnancy and I had problem walking because my pelvic area was so loose to prepare for birth), so to think that is something else but just plain weird is stupid, but it's there...so

Also 4 DPO blood when brushing teeth...that never happens

And...weird one, my cervix feels...um...longer? I have a tilted cervix to begin with, but now it's like there is a 2 cm reach before getting to the tip. Difficult to explain...

6 DPO Dip in my BBT and "pin pricks" in my uterus. Continued at 7 DPO too.

7 DPO positive BOAS...waiting to confirm. Pin pricks, rather than cramps in uterus

8 DPO more pin prix

9 DPO Pin prix and twinge by the belly button, frequent urination


Anyway, that's about it - I will update as I go along on my way to AF/BFP and will turn the colour of the text accordingly.

GL to all you ladies out there

Ooh I'm so excited. Can't wait to see the outcome. Your symptoms look very promising. I hope that you get your bfp soon.

Afm- I'm pretty sure that I will O very soon as I have all the signs. I'll be back to post my symptoms once I do.

 

[Jelly.Bean]

This is a cool thread! FXd for all of you wonderful ladies!!!

1-2 DPO nasty cramping in abdomen. Weird back cramping on left side of mid/lower back. Thought maybe I either had a uterine infection (had miscarriage last month) or UTI.
3-4 DPO no more odd abdominal/back pain. No symptoms to speak of.
5 DPO lots of stabby pain near left ovary. Felt like someone was stabbing me with a needle.
6 DPO some dull right side pain, sleepiness (maybe due to time change ). In the evening, had some stretching/pulling in the uterine area and some dull aching on right side.
7 DPO Woke at 4:55 feeling like my lower belly was churning. Thought I was going to have to go to the bathroom, but didn't. Went back to sleep. 9AM: Exhaaaaausted. I want to go back to bed. More achiness on the right side. 9:30 PM More pulling/stretching in uterine area. Added some cramping in the back, and feeling of wetness. Feels just like my experience last month when I was pregnant. Fatigue is still bad--feel like I'm half asleep. Tummy acting dodgy. With cramping, it makes me nervous and worried about another loss.
8 DPO Had insomnia from 1-4am. Irritable in an IRRATIONAL way. Hubby said, "You're pregnant." Left/Right side twinges from time to time.
9 DPO Left side twinges. Started gagging with brushing teeth. Twinges in lower abdomen still--little cramps. Boobs insanely sore for the last couple of days, more than usual. Lots of breakouts--even have one on my shoulder, and one on the back of my head near my hairline!
10 DPO Nothing unusual in the AM. Feel great, other than the little twinges that come and go and the sore BBs. Was going to test today, but don't want to get a squinter, so waiting till tomorrow.
11 DPO Woke up burping this nasty flavor that I also burped when I was pregnant with my boys. Did not have this burp with my ectopic or my chemical. Hoping it's a good sign it will be a sticky baby. Fullness feeling in uterine area, stretchy feelings on occasion.

I CAVED. Test was positive at 10dpo. Attached pics. I'm a nervous wreck and hope this baby is finally my rainbow baby after two losses.

updated 3/15

Oh my gosh a huge congratulations to you. I hope it is a super sticky bean and you have a very happy and healthy 9 months. I'm so excited for you

 

[Jelly.Bean]

20 DPO- no AF. Very sick today. Nauseous, almost throwing up every second . Terrible stomach problems (tmi). Migraine from hell. Caved an took a dollar store pregnancy test. BFN. What is going on. I guess perhaps I could be getting sick .
21 DPO- no AF. Very sick again. Stayed home from work. Nauseous, stomach issues, feeling exhausted, every bone in my body hurts. Feeling like I have the flu....took a test today. BFN
22 DPO- feeling much better today no symptoms today. Only,lots of ewcm! AF is now 8 days late
23 DPO- no symptoms
24- DPO- no symptoms

Oh you poor thing. I hope that you end up with a bfp after waiting that long. I know that I would have gone insane by now. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

 

[jammers77]

Thank you, JellyBean!! I've got really really good progression on my tests this time, so I'm hoping that it is indeed a sticky baby!! Last month my tests never really progressed, and I lost that one.

I've got my fingers crossed really hard for you!!!
