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

[kell]

Hello ladies

So I'm back here again in the tww. Currently 3 dpo so not much to report yet but I'll make a start on my 'symptoms'. Pretty sure of when I ovulated but don't temp so may be slightly off.

1 - 2 dpo Dry cm, tired but had a very late night Tuesday, bloated but have a uti starting so it will be related to that.

3 dpo - Dry cm, bloated, gassy, so tired and have what I can only describe as brain fog? I can't wait to get into my bed tonight.

4 dpo - nausea, feeling really cold all day, congested, Dry cm, start of thrush! Exhausted. Tearful and emotional.

5 to 7 dpo - Still nauseated but mostly first thing in the morning and if I need to eat, gassy, constipated, SO BLOATED! Partner keeps saying I'm pregnant and he can tell? Maybe wishful thinking on his part lol. Tearful still, cried after sex, only ever done that when I was pregnant in the past.

8 dpo - Major bloat, af type cramps low down, Brown/yellow tinged cm, still have thrush leaking nipples! BFN on superdrug early result but I didn't test positive until 13 dpo with my youngest so not counting myself out yet. Emotional and short tempered (OH has taken a verbal beating the last few days poor bloke) In the evening I had a horrendous pain shoot up my cervix, lighting crotch! It took my breath away.

9 dpo - Decided to use my last test with FMU and there it was, a super faint BFP! Sent a pic to a friend and she can see it too so I'm not imagining it. Eekk!

Hey girls, this is my first post after stalking this thread non stop the last few days!!

Bit of background... I'm 25 and hubby is 28. We've been TTC since end of December so not long at all. Came off the pill in September in preparation (after being on it, and a few other contraceptives, since I was 15). Since then my periods have been around 30-32 days long with long periods (around 10 -12 days although most recent period was 8 days). I only started checking cervix and CM since December and BBT monitoring halfway through this month. But I have been finding it hard to know exactly when I ovulate. I used OPKs last month and this month (clear blue) but never got a smily face. I then ordered sensitive cheapy ones online to save money.

Anyway this month has been rather strange...

period 11-18th february, then spotting 28th - 1 March (so thought I was ovulating but all that week i never got a positive OPK. Nonetheless we BD's every day that week. Then on 6 March I had a ridiculous amount of eggwhite CM (sorry - TMI!) this was the first time I saw it that month and positive OPKs on 7 and 8 March so I think I ovulated around 8 March (fortunately we BD's on 6 when I saw the eggwhite cm).

anyway since then I have been tracking everything and I am now on CD43 (longest period since off contraceptives).

1 dpo = sticky cm. temp = 36.37 (baseline is 36.24)
2 dpo = sticky. temp =36.30
3dpo = sticky CM (like a thick white mucus but sill stringy). temp 36.29
4dpo = creamy cm. temp 36.31
5 dpo= creamy CM. temp = 36.41
6 dpo = started with the watery/sticky mixed into creamy CM. temp = 36.44
7 dpo = creamy cm. temp = 36.46
8 dpo = eggwhite cm, felt like getting a urine infection. temp = 36.46
9 dpo = more eggwhite cm mixed into creamy CM. temp = 36.32
10 dpo = alot of right sided pain and again eggwhite cm mixed with creamy. pregnancy test negative.was bloated constipated, cramps. temp = 36.34
11 dpo = creamy CM. temp = 36.53
12 dpo did = creamy cm. pregnancy test and negative. had problems of constipation one minute and then diarrhoea the next (so sorry, TMI all around!)temp drop = 36.23
13 dpo = ALOT of eggwhite cm. tender boobs, nausea, felt like I had a col. temp drop at 36.24 (my baseline temp exactly)
14 dpo = more eggwhite CM (not as much as yesterday but still alot) bloated, cramps, fatigue, tender boobs. temp 36.51
15 dpo = period due (based on new calculations based on FF and ovulating on 8 March) but no sign. I often get spotting before but not see anything. watery cm. bloated, constipation, gassy. tender boobs. So tired and after my tea I actually thought I was going to be sick! temp = 36.54
16 dpo = today... did a pregnancy test and was negative. then did an OPK test (out of curiosity) and was very positive! today I have had more watery CM and my cervix is high soft and closed. tempertaure was highest it ever been today... 36.61celsius.

So basically I have no idea what is going on. I am nervous about a few things:
1) I have had a really long period this month. But before I was on the pill (all those years ago) I did have periods around 5 weeks apart so wonder if my body is just getting used to this again.
2) I have had a lot of positive OPKs since I ovulated.
3) no idea why I have so much eggwhite CM after ovulation. It has een so much more then normal. I am worried I missed ovulation, but FF confirmed it with 3 higher BBTs.
4) I hope so much I am secretly preggers and its just not getting picked up on, but another BFN this morning makes me think that this is very optimistic.
5) why am I having such an increase in temperature f I am no preggers?? so cruel of mother nature to do this and get my hopes up.

sorry for the very lengthy post. I know I have only just started trying and there are girls out there who have been trying much longer, but it is so disheartening not to know what is going on. My parents had trouble trying to conceive me (2 years for unknown reason, both were healthy) and after me they were told they could not have kids, but 11 yeas ater my brother popped out to surprise us all. I guess this is always on my mind and I worry I too will have problems or there is something wrong with me. So any help or views would be much appreciated xxx

[MUMOF5]

Hi everyone, can't remember all my symptoms day by day, but thought I'd post ones that were different than other cycles for me, coz I got my BFP today, after 21 months and one working tube 😁🎉

I usually spot few days before af, no sign of any spotting.

Nipples mormally tender straight after af but then settle a little, this time they were more tender than usual, but this didn't really kick in until about 6 dpo.

I got a stinking cold around 13 dpo, I've read this can be a symptom as pregnancy lowers immune system.

Lots of crampy pains from about 11-12 dpo and not much cm, usually only get cramps bit before af and get a fair bit of cm before af.

Ive also been very bloated and had very mild nausea last couple of days but thought I was just imagining it.

 

[ashleysandman]

Ok, I'm new and messed up and started my own thread not realizing that was a faux pas. Here is what I posted in the wrong place! (hopefully this is the RIGHT place.) Also, if anyone knows how I go about deleting the thread I started, I'd appreciate the help.

I've only had 2 cycles since having Mirena removed, but overall seem to be back on track. These two cycles have had me at a 24 day cycle. I ovulated on March 16th. Here are my recorded symptoms since then. I'm due to start AF tomorrow. I'd also like to preface by saying that I'm not charting BBT as of yet, but will next month if I get AF.

1 DPO:CP low, medium soft, medium open, wet

2-3 DPO: nothing logged

4 DPO:CP med, med. soft, open

5 DPO: heavy pressure and cramping (made me feel like I had to waddle almost) in lower abdomen/uterus area...very uncomfortable and not common. Cervix open, position and texture not logged. Light acne, light bloating, light constipation and indigestion.

6 DPO:CP medium height, CM is thin creamy and white...can't tell if cervix is open. It feels spongy almost with a film? Had some twinges for about a minute on my lower left abdomen.

7 DPO: very slight ewcm again and also creamy white but the two aren't mixed. CP Med, med. soft, med. open.

8 DPO:HOLY VEINS... I can always see my veins in my front right shoulder and a little on the breast on that side, but my left side today looks like someone used a blue marker to draw on me and wiped it off. Am I imagining this? Have I just not paid attention to that side before? It's on my arms a bit too. Cervix is high, med. soft, and closed. Periodic cramping (upper and lower back, lower abdomen.) Light acne, light headache, light indigestion.

9 DPO:CM is watery, CP is high, med. soft, and closed. Twinges in right vaginal wall/uterus, itchy eyes, pinprick feeling in lady parts, periodic lower back cramps, slightly iffy belly (am I nauseous or hallucinating?) Mild breast twinges on right side. Veins still present. Throbbing pinchy poke twinges in lower left to mid abdomen. "Period poop" (sorry if no one else knows what this means, haha) feeling but not BM. Mildly gassy.

10 DPO: CM creamy, CP High, Med. soft, closed. Cramps off and on, wet, sore legs (why?), I sneezed and it hurt my uterus (random), left boob (at shoulder) throbbing mildly for hours with slight discomfort-not sensitive to the touch, small hives (3 on legs), feeling itchy and mildly dehydrated. Veins not as obvious.

11 DPO: CM is creamy. CP is high, med. soft, and closed.

12 DPO: Left side pinches, I can't really tell if my left breast is sore...haha. Nasal drip, feeling both stuffy and runny at the same time. Cervix was awol in the am and then back to high. Went through Wendy's DT and it smelled BAD...gag. Tasted good though. Cervix is giving me cramps when checking it. Tired. Legs achy off and on. FInger joints hurting? Undies damp with wet CM but nothing visible...just leaky. Cramping in all areas off and on through day, mostly mild. 3 BMs. Nips the tiniest big sensitive, nothing abnormal really...although there's a slight feeling like I used icy hot on them. Sensitive teeth to sugar. Neck hive, small. Tired. Veins off and on in visibility...veins in palms super dark for about a half hour in the evening. Moody.

13 DPO: So far today- CP high, med. soft, and closed. Feels a little swollen and pillowy in surrounding areas. CM is white and wet, not overly abundant...feels a little tacky and lotiony (new.) Runny nose. Alternating between tired and energetic. Cramps off and on. Small amt. of ewcm-very little. Periodic traveling cramps. Light bloating and indigestion. Had about 2-3 seconds where I may have been dizzy.

Prior to the past week my cervix has only ever been high (since I started checking 3 months ago) 3 or 4 times...and only for about an hour at a time, so it's rare. It has been high and closed almost all day for the 5-6 days. Also, it's slightly open 90% of the time. It has been closed tightly since it went high. I test daily...all BFNs with the exception of two $ Tree tests that showed up positive (pink) 4 days ago- but it was also 4 hours after the time limit, and nothing but BFNs since, so not adding weight to that. I'm trying not to read into ANY of these symptoms and telling myself they are psychosomatic.

What do you think ??

 

[tinymumma]

Back here again. First cycle on Vitex so fingers crossed my lp gets longer this time! O happened cd16 this cycle unlike the last where it was cd19. FF says due on the 5th (since my lp is only 8 days) but I have on the dot 27 day cycles, so I'm saying due on the 8th (if I make it that long) 3 DPO today
EDIT: FF changed my crosshairs this morning from cd16 to 18, so only 3 DPO again

2-3 DPO: Odd cold feeling in my uterus, ovary area. Very strange.

4 DPO: eyes began aching at night and was so tired I fell asleep before 9 o'clock?

5 DPO: woke up with top eyelids swollen (I don't suffer from allergies or hay fever) , feel like I'm getting thrush but not sure as of yet, increase in cm, stuffy nose, had a few boobie tinglings like I was having a let down but my son wasn't drinking milk (that hasn't happened since he was very young)

6 DPO: still feeling like I'm about to get thrush but none to be seen as of yet. O type pains on the right side for about 5 minutes during the day. White, creamy/ lotiony cm (I never get cm in my underwear, only if I check my cervix). TMI but I would wipe it away each time I went to the bathroom and whenever I went back, there would be more. Also a big gush after a BM (GROSS). Cm is definitely not thrush. Fell asleep on the couch with Bub when he was going down for his nap, haven't done that in a very long time!

7 DPO: Woke up with sporadic o type pains still on the right side. Big temp jump this morning, higher then it ever got last cycle. Slight nausea this morning and have realised I've been slightly nauseous in the morning until I eat, for the past few days. Continual O type pains on right side, cold feeling in the uterus again. Feeling wet down there. Odd feeling in lower abdomen, almost like the good tickle but not? Hard to explain. Almost fell asleep in the couch again today and ended up passing out putting Bub to sleep around 6:30-7

8 DPO: BFN this morning. Temp dropped down within normal range. More white, creamy/ lotiony cm. Feeling wet still. Very milk cramping, not painful, just like I'm extra aware of uterus? Full feeling I guess. More right sided twinges today, stuffy nose. AF is supposed to be due tomorrow but really not sure what will be happening.

9 DPO: No AF arrival yet (due today) it's only 3 o'clock though. In saying that she usually arrived in he morning, before midday at least. More right sided cramping. Funny tummy after eating lunch. Thirsty. Feeling pretty cranky. Eyes are starting to hurt again. Temp has gone up by .01 of a degree? Seemed odd but I took my temp twice to double check. Have this uncomfortable pulsing sensation in between where my pants sit and my belly button. Feeling like I need to pee more (that could be in my head though) Siactic nerve gas also been playing up yesterday and today. That may have been because I did a massive spring clean yesterday though. Although it hasn't come in this strong in a long while and usually goes away by the next day Bloating like crazy tonight. I'm as big as I was when I was 18 weeks with my son!

10 DPO: Massive temp drop this morning to just above the cover line. Preparing for AF now. If my temp goes below the cover line tomorrow, she will probably arrive tomorrow or the day after. 10-11 day lp!! We're getting there. Trying to be positive but just plain bummed out. Lots of watery/ lotiony cm, was dropping into the toilet after my morning BM (TMI sorry). Feeling very wet down there. Maybe AF will arrive today? Nausea this morning but a little better after I ate. Still bloated. AF arrived, spotting in the afternoon, full flow by nighttime

Onto cycle #10

Congrats!!

 

[kell]

Thank you

 

[munchkin1]

Congrats kell!

I posted a while back. Im now 23dpo and still no AF or BFP. I have been using internet cheapie so bought a FRER today but I'm not holding out hope! Got a doctors appointment on Monday so hopefully should find out what's going on! Has anybody else experienced anything like this before?

 

[shradha]

Wow Kelly congratulations....7th kid on the way....you are one amazing person....it has taken me 2 yrs to think about having a second one...how do you manage with 6?

 

[Jelly.Bean]

Hi ladies, I haven't been on here for a few years. WOW I can't believe how many people have posted on here since I created this thread back in 2013. So many BFP's

A lot has happened since i was on here last. I'll try to make it short so i can get straight into posting my symptoms. I'm now 30 and have a beautiful 22 month old daughter. I conceived her the same year that i started this thread. I was charting/recording symptoms for about 10-12 cycles before I conceived her. The one month that i stopped charting/symptom spotting, we ended up getting pregnant. Maybe the symptom spotting was causing added stress......but I can't help it

Anyway, this is our first cycle TTC our second child. I'm still charting my symptoms but I'm not checking cervix or temps or anything like that. Just trying to relax a bit more this time around.

I'm not getting my hopes up this cycle as its only our first cycle TTC number 2. But here goes.......

Ovulation day- no O pains which is very unusual for me, i always feel when I'm ovulating. Positive Opk
1 DPO- negative opk- still no O pains, no symptoms
2 DPO- negative opk- still no O pains, creamy cm, constipated, faint twinges
3 DPO- creamy cm, skin breakout on face, slightly tender nipples
4 DPO- creamy cm, yellow creamy stretchy cm after BM, body aches all over (probably from work), bloated, skin breakout on face and chest, full feeling in uterus, EWCM once in evening
5 DPO- barely any cm, feeling wet down there in afternoon but still not much cm, body aches all over (probably from work), twinges on left side in Pm when lying down in bed
6 DPO- sneezing, stuffy nose, feeling hot when first wake up, faint twinges on left side when trying to sleep, increased sense of smell
7 DPO- yellow slightly creamy/slightly stretchy cm after BM, fatigue (didn't sleep well last night), constant dull pressure on left side for half the day, noticeable dark veins on bbs in afternoon, dull headache in evening
8 DPO- dull headache when i woke up, very watery cm
9 DPO- Negative hpt, slightly tender bbs on outsides, watery cm, small amount of stretchy cm in pm, twinges/light cramps on left side in Pm
10 DPO- negative frer and IC, diarrhea in am, creamy/watery cm
11 DPO- negative frer and IC, heavy feeling in uterus when i woke up like AF is coming (lasted about 1 hour), slightly bloated, watery/ewcm, skin breakout
12 DPO- AF showed up this morning. Onto the next cycle for me. Good luck to all you ladies still in the TWW

[Goldie257]

HI Everyone,
I am new here and in my 2nd month of TTC.
I am 33. I have recently taken some time off my career so have decided there is no time like now to start TTC and a family with the husband.

This is my 2nd month coming off the pill, no luck in first cycle since coming off BC. This month I used OPK and Preseed. I am not temping so can only estimate when ovulation actually occurred. OPK let me know when LH surge was detected. so my below DPO could be off by a day or 2.

1DPO - tender breast and nipples
2 DPO - 4 DPO - tender breast and nipples and breast feel full
5 DPO - tender breast subsiding , breast feels soft
6 DPO - no breast tenderness, breast feel soft, moist creamy CM, but not a lot
7 DPO - wet watery vagina feeling (all day), some CM look creamy,
8 DPO - very wet feeling, cried - just felt so sad and frustrated and grumpy (but could be because I skipped coffee that day and it was raining like crazy)
9 DPO - very wet CM, coughed all morning (weird) , and burping all afternoon. slight back pain , but BFN
10 DPO - burping persistent but less than yesterday, feel like i have sour stomach. small pain twinges in right lower abdomen, vagina has a burning sensation. Did not test today.

I plan to test 12 DPO as i do not want to waste the tests. I also think i am just impatient and really eager and may be reading everything as an early sign . But i hope i get a BFP in a few days.
