Hi all, I'm a newbie here!

So I've been up since 3am feeling unwell and couldn't go back to sleep, so I've been reading all of your lovely and heartwarming stories on that dreaded 2ww!

I'm there myself at the moment, hoping for my BFP

28 y.o. Had still birth last Sept @ 24 wks. Have PCOS, usually only get af twice a year, if that. Been of BC for almost 4 months, usually only get af for 2 months after. Not actively trying but DTD CD8 Last month about 2 days before I got my af had some "af" type symptoms (usually I get nothing, af just comes). Really think I'm out.

6 dpo-cramping, just minor in the morning. picked up a little in the afternoon, felt like it wanted to fall out.
7 dpo-cramping today again, tightening feeling in upper abdomen, lower back pain, very gassy, and just have this heavy feeling in my stomach, also feeling like im wet.
8 dpo-had crazy heartburn last night after eating pizza, which I never get. more lower back pain, some cramping, and weird cramps on both sides of stomach that just popped up and immediately went away, stomach still feels heavy. no cm today though. not sure if thats a good or bad sign.
9 dpo-got super nauseous this afternoon, took a mid day nap outta nowhere, and just feeling very emotional, and lower back pain.
10 dpo-very emotional, still gassy as all get out, sore throat, stuffy nose, ear ache, nausea.
11 dpo-strong cramps, back pain, stuffy nose still around, and pulling sensation throughout my whole stomach.

Hello, joining in!

This is my first cycle off BCP, I'm guessing I ovulated around CD14, but I wasn't temping or using OPK so I'm unsure!

1dpo - lots of energy
2dpo - sore nipples
3dpo - REALLY sore nipples, anxious all morning, bit of nausea, really sore neck at night
4dpo - sore nipples, lotiony cm only when wiping, happy mood
5dpo - sore nipples, pains under left armpit, bad AF type cramps in the evening, really feel like its coming on!
6dpo - sore nipples and aereolas look bigger? but could be all in my head. flu symptoms and gassy, annoying pimple on my brow bone
7dpo - flu symptoms, runny nose and dry throat really getting annoying! nipples are constantly hard, also quite hungry today

AF showed up about 11dpo!

Hello, joining in!

I am a new user at BnB. This is my tenth cycle of TTC, I'm guessing I ovulated around CD11 as per +ve opk. I have a 28 days cycle. I have been spotting symptoms almost every cycle but AF ( ) showed up everytime...

1-5dpo - No symptoms what so ever. Maybe a little nauseous but I might be just spotting fake symptoms....

6dpo - sore nipples and feel crampy along the waist!

Raising hopes again...

[/COLOR]new to TWW this time around. Hoping for baby #2 Our DD was born October 8, 2013. O'd on the 11th I believe
CD 15 I O'd
3 DPO I have slight cramping going on so weird as I never have cramps unless it is the day AF comes. Af not due til 23rd
4DPO still a bit crampy, lots of gas YUCK!!! Feel pukey in the am, and wanting to eat lots of hummus. (just like when I was in early pregnancy with DD) Either i love hummus or my body is trying to decide what's up
5DPO tired gassy emotional
6DPO Tired urinating a lot last night, nauseous, cramps, headache, sore itchy nipples too
took OPK just to see and to hold me over til next week and it was Pos. but faintly Pos. Why would it still be pos? anyways 7 days til AF is due. I will keep updating til I get an answer, though we are headed out of town this weekend so I will be busy at least
8DPO feel like AF is comming but its too early
1oDPO we were out of town all weekend. But woke up daily feeling ill. Peeing lots and crazy increased sex drive

Oh, I love this thread. I read through it all before I joined, and it taught me a lot about what I needed to look out for. I kept notes of my symptoms for this thread and will list them here in case they're helpful!

I've been on pregnancy vitamins since I went off BC in January; I started taking extra B6 and an additional B-complex vitamin Mid may.

CD16 - I ovulated.
3DPO - had to go to the bathroom a lot.
4DPO - feeling on edge, snappy at DH
5DPO - Pain near my right armpit, acne outbreak on my chin, still had to use the bathroom a lot.
7DPO - Very gassy. Poor DH CM is different than usual: wet rather than creamy, sticky or dry.
8DPO - CM is almost egg white, gassy again
9DPO - CD25 and the LACK of symptoms here is noteworthy: feeling none of my normal AF symptoms
10DPO - Still no AF symptoms, got crampy at about 6PM like I needed to use the bathroom, but instead I got creamy CM with a streak of blood in it. Felt very down, like I was out. Stomach bothers me.
11DPO - BBT dip, still above coverline. On and off brown spotting throughout the day. Acid reflux in the morning and early afternoon. (I usually get acid reflux around ovulation, so this was another tell tale sign for me.) Big cystic pimple on chin, but without the usual nerve pains I get there. Frequent urination.
12DPO - BBT slightly up. Headache, very dry throat, killer lower back ache woke me up at night and continued throughout the day. Frequent urination, burning sensation - I felt like I had a UTI. Still no AF symptoms. Brown spotting on and off.
13DPO - BBT stable. Very hungry upon waking. (I usually don't have that.) Acid reflux with dry heaving in the morning / early afternoon. My urine smells stronger. On and off brown spotting.
14DPO - BBT stable. Hungry upon waking. Just a wee bit of spotting left that morning. Frequent urination. Tested, faint BFP. Very, very tired that day, very. Little brown discharge with my creamy CM, because of the CM I felt the spotting was more like "what was left and had yet to come out". Tender BB's; a bra is actually comfortable now. At night I had a cramp around my right hip.
15DPO - BBT up 0.3 degrees Celsius, tested again, BFP. Still faint, but better than the one before. Hungry upon waking. Headache, lower twinges (ovary area) and again with the reflux. And the peeing. Always the peeing.

For me, the biggest clue was the absence of AF symptoms. That is pretty much what kept me from treating myself to a big "Bite me, witch!" bottle of wine when I first started spotting.

Alright, I'm trying this out...I have little to no clue what I am doing, but I can't help but assume I am a symptom spotting uncertain mommy to be!

I had my period from May 29- June 3
Unprotected baby making love on June 3, June 13 and June 14.

I got curious after June 3 and began looking to see how long sperm can live and decided it was probably unlikely that anything would stick. Well on June 13 I decided to check my CM, I (TMI ALERT) retrived without effort what I would call a large bit of EWCM and figured this was probably my O.

So, the morning of the 14th I woke up and continued to have ALL DAY a sharpish, twinging, nagging pain on my right side between my belly button and hip bone, my back was killing me all day.

The following day (what I would call 2dpo) I began having to pee more and more, that night I could not sleep which is very uncharacteristic of me.

Thinking I would be exhausted last night I went home anitcipating taking a nap and I wasn't able to although, I ended up sleeping like a champ last night

5dpo- my temp went up to 98.3 this morning (it's been about 97.4-97.6) and I'm having twinges right below my belly button and left side.

I'm not really tracking anything, just being mindful. I'm not necessarily trying, but I would welcome a baby!
I also know it's super early, but I figure this weekend I'll POAS and if it's a BFN I'll wait to see if AF shows up.

I am a pretty standard 28 day cycle, consistent every month.
I was on the Depo Shot for 5 years and came off a yearand a half ago. I took the BC pill for a few months before quitting everything. I had complication regulating my cycle for about 6-8 months after coming off the shot and for about 5-6 months I've been fairly regular.

I am 26 y/o and I know for certain I want to have a baby in the near future, so I figure it's best to get to know my body. I have been tracking my symptoms on a phone app and each day brings something new. I definately don't cramp in between periods, so this is leading me to wonder what's going on it my body!

 

[elefhants1]

and I just realized, I said i'm not tracking and that I am tracking at the same time...

I guess I kind of am, but I don't want to get my hopes to wound up!

 

[cravemyheart]

I'm pretty sure I o'd today. We didn't try this cycle though, because DH wants to make sure his job is going to support a baby. (He had to step down from his managers position, so now he's paid less). I promised, so were going to try in July I think. But I'm going to keep track of my symptoms from this cycle which ultimately going to end in AF, just to show myself and others that sometimes symptoms of PMS can mimic pregnancy. And to have something to compare to other cycles.

O day - some cramping, diarrhea, ewcm

 

[lauraloo24]

Heres my symptoms for this cycle, copied over from my TTC diary:

1DPO - Tender stomach, slight cramping, gas.
2DPO - Upset stomach, abdominal cramping, sudden sharp pains in boobs.
3DPO - More cramping, full feeling in lower abdomen, hurts to suck in stomach,mega bloated.
4DPO- more cramping, still can't suck in lower stomach, twinges,bloated.
5DPO- much of the same but also noticed increased cm and so exhausted this pm I had a nap!
6DPO - More cramping, bloating, pain at top of legs, still cant suck in stomach, tired, emotional, left sided twinges and backache, glob of greenish cm when wiped, slight pink spotting? BFN - of course!
7DPO- not much today, bit lightheaded and some left sided back pain. Occasional mild tingly/shooting pain in bbs, nipples seem larger and darker with veins more visible. Sharp shooting pain in vagina.
8DPO - Woke up with an inexplicable feeling that this isnt our month, felt down. V. small amount of spotting on tp, pains in legs, left and right sided back pain, nausea, and light headed. Feel achey all over, like i'm getting the flu. BFN - decided not to test till AF late.
9DPO - Woke for no apparent reason at 4.45am. Boiling hot. Went to loo, then couldnt get back to sleep for tossing and turning and restless legs. Woke with AF style cramps and backache but no sign of anything yet, just increased cm. Cervix seems low, not sure if thats a good thing or not! Legs ache and feel a bit weak. Occasional pain in bbs.
10DPO - Didnt wake up early but had backache and AF cramps whilst still in bed. Restless, achey legs again. Some more twinges and a sort of "hot" feeling in abdomen area. Occasional pains in bbs. Cm definitely increased, keep feeling as if AF has arrived but nothing.... getting hopeful.

 

[Tove]

I'm joining this thread and symptom spotting my way through the TWW in hopes it will pass a little quicker...

1 dpo: brown spotting and ewcm, cervix low, firm closed
2 dpo: same as above, very tired
3 dpo: brownish cm, cervix very low and firm
4 dpo: still spotting, temp not rising much. Feel very down about this cycle. Insomnia.
5 dpo: no spotting thankfully, sticky cm, cervix firm and closed, bbs slightly sore
6 dpo: sticky cm, bbs a little tender on the sides, pinching feeling in lower abdomen for a couple of minutes
7 dpo: creamy cm (but not much), cervix firm closed, lower abdomen feels tight/full (hard to describe but not uncommon for me in the luteal phase), bbs feel full and slightly tender, I keep squeezing them every ten minutes just to check...
8 dpo: bbs ache (even when I don't touch them, though this is not uncommon for me before af), cervix is medium closed firm, cm is sticky and sparse, heartburn (which I usually never get), saw a tiny bit of blood when checking my cm in the evening - hoping it's implantation bleeding!
9 dpo: some slight nausea earlier in the day, bbs feel full and heavy, some twinges in lower abdomen, some pink/brown spotting - fingers crossed it's from implantation and not the start of AF. I don't feel pregnant and if I wasn't TTC I wouldn't think about these 'symptoms' at all. Testing tomorrow morning just to stop think about when I should start testing!
10 dpo: stark white bfn this morning, pink tinged cm when checking, bbs still full and tender, temp high but I feel out!! Some cramping. I feel depressed and irritated, as I always do before AF...
11 dpo: bfn, big drop in temp, brown spotting which I always get for one or two days before AF. Today is three days before AF. I'm out now the wait to ovulate begins again.
12 dpo: bfn (evap). Cramping and light bleeding started during the day, making my lp two days shorter than usual.

Ok. So yesterday I had a positive opk. So I was wrong about my o date.
Which is definitely today. I have ewcm and I'm cramping on my right side.

 

[martamok]

This is SUCH a great thread..can't wait to read everyones posts, I only read a few today.

We've been TTC for over a year now, very frustrated, but trying to stay positive. This months we tried to be very good, taking vitamins, changing our diet, being very active, etc. I'm being very hopeful.

1-4dpo - I wasn't really paying attention since we had a very busy weekend
5dpo -very watery cm, twinges (this is was made me super excited lol never had this before), no sore breasts which I always have!
6dpo - very water cm, cramps, tired
7dpo - lower back pain, very gassy, light cramps at night again, very irritated
8dpo- BFN in the am, very dry mc, nausea midday, ovary pain
9dpo - bad cramps, lower back pain, sore boobs, I think AF is coming
10dpo - BFN
11dpo - pretty bad AF cramps. TMI...but after sex there was blood when I wiped and on my husband, I just thought my period came early, didn't think twice about it...but no more blood ever since then. (Any thoughts anyone??)
12dpo - nothing much
13dpo- I have an appointment with my OBGYN tonight, so I'll POAS there
14 dpo - AF is here, like clock work! Hate her

 

[martamok]

Hey! Have you POAS?? Im really curious bc this is my first cycle that my boobs arent sore as well. Hope you got a BFP!!
