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

[Kukonut]

Hey guys! Just some background info. My DH and I have been TTC for 2 cycles now, and I have become OBSESSED with symptom boards. This is my first post ever though!

I'm currently in my TWW in attempt #2. My cycles are also super long (37 days).

I should also note I've been having some constant weird cramping/pressure in my right side for the past couple months. I'm getting an ultrasound next week to see what the problem is. My doc thinks it's most likely fibroid pain. But nonetheless, it makes it difficult to feel for twinges, pulling and the like!

Anyway, here are my symptoms.

1 DPO: Nothing out of the ordinary!
2 DPO: Nipples hurt! I rarely get sore breasts or nipples so I noticed this immediately. Watery CM
3 DPO: Nipples still hurt, gassy
4 DPO: Sore nipples, gassy
5 DPO: Sore nipples, gassy
6 DPO: Sore nipples, weird cramps in lower tummy
7 DPO: Sore nipples, pain just below belly button that lasted a couple hours. Noticed creamy CM.
8 DPO: Nipples less sore, but sore boobs close to armpits. Woke up nauseous and with a stuffy nose and scratchy throat. Headache and tired! Lotion CM.

Going to wait until 10 DPO to do a HPT. Fx!

Update guys!
9 DPO: I did a FRER HPT this morning and saw a BFN. But it's still early! My boobs hurt so much last night, I had to sleep on my back. Also feeling a little crampy and I don't know. I feel off. I'm going to test again at 11 DPO.

Update #2!
Ahhh, I'm freaking out guys and I don't know what to do!!

10 DPO: Cracked again and used my second FRER HPT. BFN again. Got mad at myself for testing early. Had some cramping and pinching, but very similar to AF cramps.

11 DPO (today): Decided to test again because I just feel weird. Used an Exact generic brand test (not early detection) not expecting to see anything, but saw a SUPER RIDICULOUSLY faint line. Had to squint and hold it up to window light to see it. Now I'm questioning I saw anything. I kept the test and checked it a few hours later, and now there is a darker blue line, but I think that's an evap. Going to be strong and try another test tomorrow morning.

Any recommendations on which brand I should try???

EEEEKKK.

UPDATE: 12 DPO - Guys, it's 5:30 in the morning, I just took a Life brand digital test so I wouldn't have to line read. And guess what. BFP!!!. I am in complete shock. I was starting this think I was out this month, as for the last 2 days or so, my "symptoms" have gone away a lot. My boobs are even sore right now. HOWEVER, I knew from early after ovulation when my nipples were hurting that something was up.

Please. everyone on here that is thinking, and hoping and watching every symptom, NEVER give up hope!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!! Congratulations!! This is exciting news!

 

[Kukonut]

You were right NinjaPanda! Thank you! I don't know what's wrong with me - I got a digital and it clearly says "pregnant" but I still don't really believe it.

 

[Kukonut]

Thank you so much MinaMae! I still don't think it's real.

 

[NinjaPanda]

Yay! Congrats kukonut!! I remember the same feeling when I got my bfp in December. Will probably be in even more disbelief if/when it happens again.

Update

16 DPO took another test this morning and BFN.....! Still no AF. My uterus area feels sore and full.. and a little light pain but it isn't really cramping. When I have AF or pre-AF cramps it's like WWIII going on inside me. Last night sleep (technically on 15 DPO) was rough. I couldn't lay on my stomach due to breast pain, and I had heartburn.

I caved and ordered a quantitative blood test. Just waiting on the results now....! I figure I'd rather have peace of mind from a blood test than just keep peeing on sticks for nothing when AF doesn't seem to be coming any time soon.

Okie dokie.... Back for another round of symptom tracking. This is technically cycle #6 for me but in my 3rd cycle we did conceive and I miscarried so I am calling this one cycle #5 for that reason. Since DH works in the next province over and is only home every 6 weeks, I will be out next month so we are really hoping this could be our month! It seems my pre-af symptoms have totally changed since the miscarriage though so I don't even know what to expect anymore. According to opk OV day was yesterday but the day before I had some seriously major stretchy ewcm (like a big glob came out when I went to the bathroom... Sorry for tmi). We dtd both days anyways so i'll go with yesterday being my ov day.

1 dpo - just some cramping

2 dpo - a little bit of cramping in the morning and some hot flashes throughout the day, nausea (probably just too much ribs and jello cake, though)

3 dpo - a couple hot flashes, nauseous, serious headache and fatigue though. Then again, it was a rough day at work so no wonder I am tired! Lol

 

[MUMOF5]

Ok onto cycle #7, so today I got my crosshairs on ff, so I shall start logging symptoms again.

1-2 dpo: nothing of note. Dtd both these days.

3 dpo: ff gave crosshairs today. Slight cramping this morning, more to lower left side. Tender nips (usual for post ov). Bit of heartburn after dinner.

4 dpo: very lightly pink tinged creamy/lotiony discharge. Seriously heightened sense of smell today. Think I may have an infection? 😔, if still same tomorrow will make appt to see Dr.

5 dpo: not much cm at all today. Symptoms of infection seem to have subsided. Woke up quite sniffly this morning, but could be last of a mild cold I had. No real other symptoms to note.

6 dpo: temp shot up this morning. Not much cm today either, what there is is stickyish. Bit of a full feeling in lower abdomen. Nips still tender/sore.

Updateeeeee

Still no AF, but I got my results back from my blood test. Not pregnant! Oh well. I'm guessing the witch will be seeing me sooner than later.. I also started temping to get a better grasp on when I'm ovulating/not. I'm beginning to see how irregular my cycle is. I think I might have actually ovulated during the first week of what I thought was my TWW! I had some super watery/milky CM which I mistook as early-pregnancy CM since it wasn't totally clear that was probably ovulation related. Or I just didn't ovulate at all.

Going to think hard on whether we're changing the status from WTT to TTC. We're nore NTNP atm.. and this little event I think left me and my bf both kinda sad that I'm not pregnant. Especially if my cycle really is this irregular it might be better to start trying sooner since it'll take some time. So we'll see! Best of luck to everyone and baby dust!!

So sorry to hear this....I understand how you guys feel....I was so sure that we were pregnant but so not the case...Me and my DH have an appt this Friday to see if everything is fine....I just came over of BC in November so that may be playing a HUGE role in us not bn pregnant yet...We are not gonna try this month and we may not try again until June July but we will see...Best of luck to you all!

3 dpo - a couple hot flashes, nauseous, serious headache and fatigue though. Then again, it was a rough day at work so no wonder I am tired! Lol

4 dpo - dizzy, tired, very slightly sore twinge in nipples. Food tasted a little off too today but that can be normal where I live since you can usually taste chlorine in the drinking water. Yay small towns!

6 dpo - dizzy and headache in spite of all the water I have been drinking, hot flashes, tender bbs again, and for some reason my lower abdomen just feels tighter.

Thanks 5stars. I hope so too! I'm trying to not get my hopes up though.

I understand, I had my hopes up for the last two months

 

[NinjaPanda]

Yeah, I've put a lot of pressure on myself since the miscarriage. I swore I wouldn't do that this month because every time I get my hopes up, the disappointment is worse. So this cycle, I have been taking it easy and just tracking things for the sake of tracking/having something "on paper" (so to speak) but I am not going to read too much into any of it and we'll see if I can get that bfp/sticky rainbow baby.

Totally understand....we are not trying but we are not preventing either. It's so much pressure on the both of us when we actually "try" as oppose to just letting it happen. I will post my systems after I ovulate and we shall see if I get my BFP! But again not really expecting it this month!
