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

[BumblingBee]

This is now our fifth month ttc (we’ve been trying on and off for the past year).

I wasn’t really symptom spotting this month for the first few days because I didn’t think it would work but on 6dpo I got a very, very faint line on an IC so thought I would start to keep note of symptoms in case this one sticks!

0-3dpo: no symptoms
4dpo: bit nauseous in the morning but it went away quickly, feeling very warm
5dpo: bit nauseous in the morning again but it went away quickly, fatigue, brief pain in right ovary at night, feeling very warm
6dpo: vvfl on an IC with fmu, nauseous in the morning, again it disappeared quite quickly, fatigue, very mild cramping in lower abdomen and right ovary (on and off), small bit of a brown stain when I wiped, feeling very warm
7dpo: two completely negative IC’s with fmu, fatigue (slept for a few hours in the afternoon), hay fever has started, mild lower abdomen cramping in the afternoon
8dpo: negative IC with fmu, fatigue, no hay fever, mild lower abdomen cramping in the afternoon
9dpo: negative IC with flu, fatigue, mild cramping
10dpo-13dpo: negative IC with flu, fatigue, insomnia, cramping
14dpo: Af arrived

Symptoms were

1-5dpo absolutely nothing
6dpo major dizzy spell
7dpo lots of pulling and pinching in uterus, felt like af was going to be early.

1-3 DPO Left ovary pain. Feels like ovulation pain.

3-4 DPO Left ovary pain continues accompanied by light pin like pinches in uterus.

4-5 DPO Pinches continue. Boobs are a little tender. Very tired.

5-6 DPO Left breast is very tender. Peeing a lot. Slippery CM. Dull cramps in uterus. Mild lower back pain which is only noticeable when I lay down.

6-7 DPO Cramps and pinches continue. Muscle aches (I keep telling myself these symptoms are because of progesterone). Silly me tested and off course got a BFN

7-8 DPO Still cramping, gassy, pulling and pinching sensation in uterus, yellowish tinge cm. I could swear I see a faint line on a FRER.

TBC..

Congrats! Your symptoms sound super hopeful for me. I had tonnnnnes of cramping 1dpo and a bit 2 dpo. And like zero symptoms since.... af is due in 3 days and I’ve had no af symptoms. I feel like I remember with my other two pregnancies I had less symptoms than other months when af came...

Hi all! I am new to this and new to TTC, this is my second cycle and I have not got the hang of charting I’ve no idea where to even start! I haven’t been temping or checking my cervix as I’m not sure what to look for but instead checking my CM and going by that, I have a normal 28 day cycle and came off contraception 2 months ago so should hopefully be back on track!

So here goes!!

CD1 25/7 - 0
CD2 - 7 - 0
CD8 - Sticky CM - BD Night
CD9 - 0
CD10 - Sticky CM - BD Night
CD11 - Sticky CM - 0
CD12 - 0
CD13 - Wet CM BD Night
CD14 7/8 - Poss O / Slight Stabbing pain in pelvic area at night / BD Night - really hurt the cervix but persevered!!
CD15 1DPO? - dull ache AM

I will keep updating through these next two weeks and try not to do it every single day 😂

It would be nice to have a TWW buddy if anyone is due to test around 22nd August!

 

[Bordeaux]

Yes I will be testing around that point too

 

[sarah34]

Hi,
I am on my last 'cycle' before starting clomid and got a positive opk on 9th August. (Happened to be our first appointment with the specialist and the day we got given clomid!)
I will start testing on Sunday 19th with FRER so around 9dpo.

Symptoms so far:

3dpo - oily skin and greasy hair, spots along jawline and around mouth, crampy aches

4dpo - restless nights sleep, slight cramping, constipation and a little TMI but uncomfortable almost itchy feeling downstairs but not thrush feeling

5dpo - sensitive nipples but only when touched, tired and had some thigh aches last night

 

[Convie]

oh I wunna join in too, told myself I wouldn't symptoms spot but here we are ��


I got 2 positive ovulation tests 4 days away from each other so I'm going to go by the last one for dpo

1dpo- tingling sensation in uterus.

2-3dpo nothing

4-5dpo- cramping and pinching sensation in uterus, also a lot of pressure on my bowels and bladder (this is normal for me though due to adeno)

6-7 dpo- woke up both mornings with a sore throat, head ache, sore lower back and cramping a lot. today at 7dpo I also got very light headed in the shops, which was an early pregnancy sign for me with my other 2, pregnant/hormonal me can't handle the lights in shops, they make me feel like I'm going to faint/throw up
7DPO updated- struggled sleeping that night lots and lots of pinching feeling down there, got up to pee 3 times that night, bad dreams and really bad cramps, craving meat badly! (mainly chicken and sausages)

8DPO- took a cheapie test , was convinced I was going to wake up to blood judging by how much I'm cramping but nothing so far, woke up with a sore throat and have had a cough all day, watery, sweet smelling cm (tmi) feeling sick all day long, very very cranky, headaches, body aches all over, for about 2 hours all symptoms went away but are now back again, peeing every hour, ended up having 2 hour long naps... oops
was laughing with my partner and he pointed out that my gums look like they're bleeding, they aren't but they've got completely bloody red, no idea if this is a symptom but will put it down as well

9dpo- woke up feeling fine? very mild cramps and feel a little tiny bit sick but that's it, even my red gums have gone down
took a test also took and opk and that was very close to being positive
In evening emotions took a massive dive, feeling very depressed, not sure if actual depression or hormones or both, pretty sure I'm going to come on in the morning

DPO10- another morning another woke up to 0 cramps which confused me but when I peed I've started cramping again, mood is badddddd I'm angry and teary and basically just want to lay in bed and hide away from the world if AF is coming I wish she would hurry up struggling to handle all of this cramping and emotional swing.


DPO11- cramping, tender right boob, cranky as all heck, sore throat is back, headache, ear ache, everything ache, didn't bother testing as I know it will be negative, also I have not pooped since about dpo5 :'(
period started late afternoon

 

[linz85]

I’m back again!! Found my post from before lol!

Currently in 2cycle of trying and according to FF I’m
5 days dpo. I think it’s 6 personally but we’ll see.

Took a cheapie yesterday but ofc it’s a bfn.

1dpo. Slight cramping.
2dpo. More cramping and feeling very stressy.
3dpo. Mood crashes and have bad family news.
4dpo. Loss of appetite and very sad but that’s down to the bad family news I had the day before.

5dpo. Woke up feeling pants. Cramps and feeling a bit sicky.

6dpo. Mood good, had a sicky feeling in my stomach like I’d eaten something bad the night before.

7dpo. Feeling fine. Break out of spots like I do nearer Af. -preg test too. Think I’m out x

9dpo. Cramping and small bleed, think af is on her way. Miserable.

10dpo. No more blood, +preg test and over the moon!

Don’t know how to turn this green!

Bumping as I always thought this was helpful when i was ttc

 

[BoyMominTX]

This thread is awesome! Good luck to all the women symptom spotting this month! FX we see lots of BFP!!

1dpo: heartburn - burped up acid; the inside of my stomach felt hot (not sure how else to explain this); creamy white CM (normal for me after O); slight cramping of abdomen and back in PM; constipated

2dpo: very little bit of wet CM; pain across lower abdomen; back cramps in PM; constipated

3dpo: dry CM; lots of AF cramping all day (abdomen & lower back); pain behind belly button; upset stomach - likely caused by still being constipated (ugh!); lots of passing gas and burping; heartburn and nausea in the evening

4dpo: dry CM; nausea midday; indigestion; more cramping (abdominal & back); burped up acid; STILL constipated - wth?

5dpo: woke up feeling like I had a chest cold - very thirsty and lots of phlegm in throat (allergies?); cramping/pulling on right side (near hip) which got considerably worse when I stood up; lots of pulling and pinching across abdomen; cramping; finally went #2!!; little bit of yellow EWCM; nausea; heartburn returning this evening

6dpo: felt great when I woke up; started to get pinches in upper right abdomen (between ribs and hip bone)...feels like I worked out my right abs yesterday; stuffy ears on and off; one glob of wet sticky CM...rest of the day I was bone dry; pinching and pulling in abdomen sporadically throughout the day; pain/pinching in upper right thigh (near groin); pain near right armpit; excessive burping; couldn't eat dinner...only wanted blueberries; got unusually tired while we were out in the evening

7dpo: feel a little off when waking up; continued pinching throughout the day in upper right abdomen; acid reflux after breakfast; cried during a TV show (but I am a cry baby); stuffy ears on and off again; chest and back start to feel like I have a nasty flu coming on...feel much better after a couple hours; usually come evening I feel more alive, but this evening I'm feeling sleepy by 8pm. When lying bed the area around my tailbone began to feel sore - almost like gas was trapped there. Weird!

8dpo: symptoms seem to have disappeared. Slight runny nose today but could always chalk it up to allergies. Swollen finger in evening - this happened once before to me week before AF.

First time posting here myself but, reading these posts is very steadying. I've had two chemical pregnancies in four months so my tww is a mix of desperately hoping I have conceived and it will stick this time, and being terribly afraid that I have, and it will disappear again. Right now, I'm at 7dpo, with a small bit of creamy cm, a high, hard, closed cp, and af-like cramps, but I'm not due for that for another 7 days. Also, each of the cps were completely different in every possible way so, I have absolutely no idea what's going on...

 

[BumblingBee]

I think this is about our 7 month ttc:

0 day: yellow ewcm
1-8 dpo: no symptoms
9-10 dpo: sore breasts and feeling fuller, sore legs, fatigue, mild cramping, on and off pain in ovaries
11dpo: bfn, cramps, fatigue, muscle aches
12 dpo: bfn, fatigue, muscle aches
13 dpo: bfn, fatigue, muscle aches
14 dpo: AF arrived

Dpo 1-6 nothing out of the ordinary
Dpo 7-10 - tired, off and on pinching feeling and off and on lower back pain

Dpo 10- BFP!
