I read through this entire thread during my 2WW and my wait is finally over this morning so Im ready to share my story. Let me preface this with some history. Tomorrow is my B-Day (39), DH (36), DS (2-1/2). First pregnancy was sudden MC at 7 weeks, 2 months later conceived DS, DS first B-day started for #2, CP, BO/MMC, unexplained infertility UI, started BBT charting and found out I O a little before average despite having a predictable 27-28 day cycle so moved up BD to immediately after AF stopped
TTW symptoms
1-6 dpo nothing unusual
7 dpo first dizzy/ near fainting spell, post nasal drip and dry scratchy throat, thirsty aching cervix
8 dpo a couple of dizzy spells, continuing sinus issues and cough, not really nauseous but feeling off, aching cervix
9 dpo same as 8 dpo plus heartburn (which I only ever got once before when pregnant with DS), breathless feeling, fatigued but sleepless
10 dpo same as 9 dpo minus the heartburn, BFN
11 dpo same as 9 dpo
12 dpo same as day 10, cough stopped and nose cleared up, BFN, evening had a weird cramp in my left foot and lower leg which wasnt terribly painful but just wouldnt go away
13 dpo BFN with FMU, symptoms are starting to shift to general feeling of unwell I get a day or 2 before AF, my knees hurt more than usual
14 dpo still no AF but feeling like it is imminent, BBT slid down just a bit but not any more than normal variations and still above cover-line so not sure what to think, knees still hurt, could feel my cervix moving around and aching the entire TWW and even though its not really different now I just feel like its AF type aching now, basically zero symptoms
after dinner I had diarrhea but I often do after my MILs cooking (tasty but very Japanese), all other family members getting sniffles and cough so maybe it wasnt symptoms for me
Im not going to test again for a few more days because I am pretty certain it would just be wasting a test. Im pretty sure we caught the egg because I only get symptoms when I end up with a BFP, so I guess it just didnt implant right. Or my hormones could still be wacky from needing medicines to manage my last MMC which dragged on for over a month because of retained tissues and messed up hormones.
15 dpo zero symptoms except for achy cervix which I get right before AF, broke down and took the blue dye test in the cabinet
squinter? Evap? Looks more like evap since it didnt even show until an hour later
16 dpo achy cervix, where is AF? Just start already! Im ready to move on to the next try!
17 dpo BBT hasnt dropped yet but is certainly not tri-phasic. No AF. No symptoms. Pink dye hpt sitting there that I bought yesterday. What the heck, why not? ------ BFP! Fingers crossed its not a chemical again.
Overall continuing or intermittent symptoms which can occur before AF too: mild and short-lived headaches, low blood pressure faintness when standing too fast, a couple of rounds of hiccups, brief moments of very mild nausea, pimples, a few random and sporadic intense uterine cramps on various days but no continuous cramping, occasionally unexplained achy legs.
Common symptoms I didnt get at all: no boob tenderness, no bloating to speak of, no gas, no huge mood swings, no cravings or appetite changes, no implantation spotting this time or implant cramp (I could feel this my last pregnancy), no noticeable ovary pain for ovulation (I could feel this my last pregnancy), no changes in toilet habits, no vivid dreams
Baby dust to everyone!
