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

[Aprila1]

New here hope everyone doesn't mind

OK, so I've been stalking this site for the past week. I read every single post starting from the first post.

So, here's my story. Me 34 , Hubby 44. We have a 13 year old daughter. We tried for years to have another and found out in Oct. of 2013 we were preggers. MC 3 days later after hearing heartbeat

Anyway, since then I had lost 60 lbs. I have PCOS and conceived my daughter with NO PROBLEM.

So here it is:

Last Menstrual Cycle: Jan. 22.2015 (usually about 37 days between periods)
Lasts for 5 days.
(NOTE I"M NOT SURE WHEN I "O" I go off of CM)
Feb. 5th- Noticed small CM me and hubby did the deed.
Feb. 7th- More CM but not EWCM - hubby and I did deed.
Feb. 9th- Loads of EWCM - hubby and I did deed
Feb. 11th-Loads of EWCM - My BBS are SORE and little cramps - hubby and I did deed
Feb. 12th-Loads of EWCM - BBS slightly tender - cramps are stronger today - no Deed done
Feb 13th- Breasts pretty sore today very very mild cramps hardly any
Feb. 14th-Hardly any EWCM - DID DEED
Feb. 15th - 20th- Breasts tenderness started going away, cramps increasing. CM pretty much gone.
Feb 22nd (Sunday)- Evening before bed, I went to restroom and when I wiped I saw some brownish discharge. I went to wipe again and a dime size light pink dot on toilet paper (sorry TMI). With the cramps I was having I figured the WITCH as about to show.
Feb 23rd (Monday)- Same discharge minus the pick only a small amount of discharge witch was brown - still cramping pretty good. No breast tenderness at this point. (Tested and Negative for pregnancy) Not surprised.
Feb 24th-27th - pretty good cramps going on, had some nausea (very mild noted) wasn't sure if it was from the cramps I was having - VERY BLOATED - Also having VERY BAD lower Back pain. VERY prominent veins in my areolas (tehee
Feb. 27th (Friday - Today) - Woke up with my back hurting as well as my hips about 4am this morning, thought for sure the WITCH had arrived - NOTHING - took another pregnancy test (EPT) and NEGATIVE BFN...... ...... Again I have PCOS so I'm thinking I didn't O this cycle.

What threw me off was the LARGE amounts of EWCM I had I mean A LOT!

Is it possible to not get a BFP on your period Due date.

I'm in desperate need for all your advise ladies.

Thanks again, April

By the way I don't know all the terms or where to get the cute little pictures you all post.

So I tested again I couldn't resist and I got another BFN.

Aprila I think you should try temping, at least then you'd know if you are ovulating x

 

[KimmyB13]

Alright, I'm back in for round 6 of ttc! Me and hubby only got one good bd in my fertile window, but it only takes one time right? So hopefully we get lucky this time around

Oday: Mild cramps, ewcm, temp dip, very light pink spotting

1dpo: Terrible nightmares last night/restless sleep, creamy cm, feeling kinda meh... I also feel like I'm out already, I know I should be positive but I feel like my odds are not great this month...

2dpo: Slept like a baby! Creamy cm with pink spotting

3dpo: slept ok... woke up around 4am and could not get back to sleep, creamy cm with lighter pink spotting, cervix is high and feels tilted?

4dpo: Slept great! No more spotting, watery cm (which I never get) cervix is high and closed...

Hi, I'm spotting on 3dpo and wondering why? Do you normally spot this soon after you od?

 

[Aprila1]

Mumof5,

I think your right. I've never done it. I was just going off of CM. I thought for sure I had done it this month but I don't think I did. My lady c ycle was actually 37 days apart. I guess I'll have to just wait for AF to arrive and start again.

Thanks

 

[stiletto_mom]

Ugh, this sounds like me right now. I feel like a nut case.
I'm just waiting for AF to show up. I'm not even going to test again.

**UPDATED**

Hello everyone! Techinically we are WTT, but I'm thinking we may have had a little slip up this month, which neither of us would be really upset about. Baby news is always good news!

Anyways, I tend to symptom spot like crazy and I love the idea of this thread, I just need to get it out there and I think I'll feel a little better, sharing my obsession with other people waiting to find out as well, especially since I don't really have anyone else to tell right now! So, here goes:

CD14 - Ovulation, I always get strong pains mid cycle so I am 99% sure this is when I ovulated.

1 DPO - 3 DPO - tender breasts, which is fairly normal PMS, gassy, which is normal but not usually this early, and some mild constipation, which is not normal

4 DPO - Felt like crap! tummy ache, mild nausea, loose BM (Sorry, tmi)

5/6 DPO - back to gassy and constipated. Breasts still tender

7 DPO - tender breasts, gassy, constipated. In the evening had short but strong back aches twice. Never had back aches before. Whenever I get bad cramps it's always in the front and just (as in an hour)before my period starts.

8 DPO - Mild, infrequent, dull cramps/aches in uterus, not really out of the ordinary, but noticing because of back ache last night. Tender breasts, gassy, constipated. Very Thirsty!! mouth/throat felt really dry and I could not get enough to drink.

9 DPO - Woke up and immediately thought "i'm pregnant" my uterus just felt like it was full, my whole lower abdomen really felt kind of like there was just extra in there. Mild backache every now and then thru the day, was moody, had a couple headaches which is also not norml for my pms. I never get PMS headaches. still constipated, breasts are tender and feel firmer. Was extra tired today, could have left work early and napped all afternoon.

10 DPO - woke up and immediately thought "nope, not pregnant" haha. Breasts didn't feel tender until couple hours later, but definitely noticed them at work, they seem swollen, too. My lunch (something I've had a million times) tasted different/gross to me, but couldn't quite say why. Exhausted again. In the evening I felt 'blah' A mild upset stomach, not quite nausea but getting there. Seem to be peeing more often.

11 DPO - Woke up feeling normal again. Breast tenderness and swelling still there. Feel like I'm peeing alot, and when I need to pee I need to pee NOW. mild back aches now and then, mild dull cramping. Stomach can't decide what it feels like. Sort of the mild back-of-the-throat nausea, know what I mean?
I did take a FRER today with FMU, BFN but I'm not convinced yet, I'll test again in a couple days, but won't be satisfied with any BFN until AF.

Another BFN in the evening with dollar store test. (Couldn't help myself!)

12 DPO - Tender breasts, cramps. BFN with FMU on a dollar store test, super emotional today. Sad and then angry for silly things. Mild tummy ache after eating. Super exhausted in the afternoon even though I slept like 11 hours last night! Heart was pounding anytime I had to go up or down stairs. In the evening cramps started to feel more like AF, but still mild compared to normal.

13 DPO- Woke up early for a couple minutes and felt a *little* sick, but nothing major. When I actually got up later I felt like my boobs got so big! Actually, the left seems to be getting bigger but not the right. Go figure. All other symptoms are the same. More headaches today. Cramping is not very often anymore. Another :BFN: because I can't help myself

I know I'm testing kind of early but the negatives have me doubting everything, at least in the mornings now because in the mornings I tend to feel almost completely normal when I get sooo sleepy in the afternoons, that's about all that gives me hope now.

Ahhh over-obsessing! Wish I could just forget about it until Wednesday when AF is late. Time seems to just craaawwwlll!

Stiletto_mom,
I hate this. The month to month wait. It's horrible!
Your going to have to bare with me. I don't know how to add your reply and then mine under yours. Lol. Still learning.




McDanny,

We are here for each other, so share away
its really hard to not look for every little thing. All your symptoms sound good.

 

[NinjaPanda]

Well, let the TWW commence! Got my peak reading this am but we didn't BD because DH was sleepy and I had to catch the plane.... We did BD at midnight last night though and pretty much everyday this past week except for Wed so I'm feeling pretty good about our chances! Fx!

O day - all of a sudden had super painful twinges in bbs... Gotta be too early though, right? Lol, flutters in uterus

1 dpo - so far, just slightly tender nipples, morning coffee made me queasy, super hungry

2 dpo - tired, still super sore nipples. Last night it was so bad that it hurt when water touched them in the shower. That has never happened before. Not even when I got bfp in December.

3 dpo - some twinges in lower ab and left breast, a bit of queasiness.... I keep jumping between thinking I could be and I can't be. Stupid tww

4 dpo - some twinges again in lower ab, peeing a lot, boobs hurts for a bit in afternoon, headache, really tired. Though, the headache and tiredness could be from the fact that I haven't been able to fall asleep till 1 am every night. I will get drowsy around 7ish but won't actually fall asleep till 1 am.

5 dpo - some more twinges in bbs (soreness will come and go. They've been itchy too) and lower abdomen. Had macaroni and cheese today that tasted way off.... Kind of like metal or chlorine. Could have maybe just been the water used, though. Just noticed weird flaking and bumps on left nipple too... I'm sooo totally reading too much into it. Lol, but I hope I'm not just overthinking.

6 dpo - twinges in bbs (they're achy but not as sore as they were in dec when I got bfp, which leaves me questioning myself), bloated, random periods of queasiness, and super emotional/tired.

Good luck with the tww. It's so hard.

Thanks! I'm sooooo glad to have found these boards. It's great to have some comrades to talk to and compare symptoms. Anytime I complain about something to DH he goes "Okay. .. so... does that mean something?" haha. I know he wants to be there for me but he's pretty clueless

I'm not sure how to Quote (sorry .....)
however I totally understand. My DH is the same way. Tonight I told him how upset I was that I'm not preggers. And he said "upset because we have to continue to have sex. " OMG, REALLY LOL made me laugh. But let me tell you this. Last time I was pregnant we just a lot just for fun. And we fell preggers. We did lose the baby at 6 weeks but at least I know I can get preggers.

The family and I were in a pretty bad car accident at the end of November and I was out of work for 3 months. This is my second week back to work. It probably wasnt the best time to try but I had all the signs of the big " O ". I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday to see what else I can do. I'm about 15 points away from my ideal BMI. So maybe hitting the gym and working on a Palio diet is what really should come next and just for fun

Anyway, thanks for listening.

to everyone. I'm done for tonight. Hopefully more people will start up again on this forum.

I get ovulation spotting sometimes, I think it could just be leftover from that? It seems to soon for implantation spotting...

I know, today DH was gone all day but I spent the morning all weepy and depressed because I was so sure I wasn't pregnant. Of course now in the evening I feel pretty good about it again. Talk about roller coaster! It feels like the last two days have been forever! Maybe that's a symptom too hahaha.

Sorry to hear about your MC and wreck! Hope everyone is doing well now. Sticky baby dust to you!!

Thanks were all doing better. I know about the roller coaster. I'm still trying to figure out what this heavy feeling is in my lower abdomin. It could be cramps but it feels more like heaviness with bloating.

This TTC is confusing and frustrating. It's been 13 years in ready for baby #2

Are you sure you don't have a touch of IBS hun? I often get the heaviness in my abdomen and major bloating and that's IBS for me, could well be something different for you though. Good luck testing make sure you come back and let us know x

You know I'm not sure. I know I'm just back to work from a car accident and most off my injury was my back, but what's really throwing me of its the lower back pain as well.

I still haven't started my period, but women with pcos do have very irregular cycles. Even though I've been regular since I've lost this weight any kind of stress seems see delay my period. At this point I'm pretty sure I am not Pregnant. I would just like the to show so I can move on.

 

[Aprila1]

I have a question ladies. AF still isn't here. My cycles are 37 days between the start of each period (usually) I tested yesterday the day my period was due and got a BFN. Is it possible my HCG levels are still to low to pick up on a home pregnancy test?

I did have some weird spotting last Sunday and Monday. Very small amounts of brownish discharge mixed in some creamy CM (sorry TMI).

But as of yesterday period Due and still getting negatives. No spotting at all.

I do have an appointment with my OBGYN on Tuesday.

Thanks again
