New Cycle: 9 months TTC, 5th Month with RE, 2nd Clomid cycle (not cancelled) with 3 mature follicles (15.5, 18.5, 17.5). When I was on clomid with my last baby, I got pregnant with 1 mature follicle at 15.4; so I'm hoping for a positive here. Also, it's weird that I just started getting symptoms at 7dpo. - I hope it's implantation!

1 DPO Nothing
2 DPO Nothing
3 DPO Headache
4 DPO Nothing
5 DPO Nothing
6 DPO Nothing
7 DPO Cramps, Back Ache and Nausea
8 DPO Back Ache
9 DPO Cramps, back ache, fatigue, insomnia, faint bfp on blue dye (picture added)
10 DPO cramps, nausea, feeling faint, back ache, boobs achey, faint bfp on frer but I'm still unsure (chemicals in the past). I will take another tomorrow morning and a digital on Monday to confirm and will post pictures
11 DPO cramps, feeling faint, another faint bfp on frer but negative on digital
12 DPO cramps, nausea, bfp getting stronger. Going in for a beta to confirm, so I wont turn my post green or red until tomorrow. Praying so hard right now! (picture added)

Congratulations!!! \\:D/
 
11th month ttc. My husband is still recovering,so we only did it a couple times. We did do it on ovulation day I think. My opk was positive on the 27th and it says to have sex after 24 but before 48 hrs. We did exactly that and also did it the day I took the opk & last nite. Plus, we used preseed! Lol although we didn't use the applicators. It is so difficult to time sex to put the stuff in before. We moved somewhere cold/higher elevation so I have been having symptoms everyday. It is hard to distinguish those symptoms from dpo/pms symptoms. Anyways ...
1-3dpo- nothing significant ..
4 dpo- mild cramps on my left side, fatigue, body aches, peeing A Lot seemed like every hour, craved sugar, insomnia until 5 am
5 dpo- body aches, freq urination, fatigue/exhausted, hunger

PM: still peeing a lot, and it is really annoying and sOo hungry, sore boobs, body aches ...
7dpo- extremely exhausted, back pain, body aches, freq urination, thirsty, sore boobs, hungry, mild cramps, stuffy nose not sure if related
8dpo- woke up feeling alright not like the previous days..mild body aches, hungry, frequent urination, cramps and weird feeling in abdomen, feel wet down there
9dpo- vivid dreams, body aches, a little cramps/twinges/pulling?, fatigue, frequent urination. My boobs hurt really bad @ 7dpo then nothing today or yest, not sure what that means.
PM- peeing a lot, random tingly feeling that hurts in my nipples, pinching/pulling/twinges?
10 dpo- fatigue/body aches, freq urination, pulling/pinching, constipation, gas
11dpo- freq urination, sore boobs/nipples, constipation, bloated, gas
12 dpo- stark white BFN with fmu. Probably out. Sore boobs, bloated, gums bled last nite when brushing (new one for me), bad gas pain

PM- having hot flashes, peeing a lot, insomnia
14 dpo- fatigue, body aches, really hungry, sensitive boobs, freq urination.. seems like pms
PM - really sensitive/sore boobs, hot flashes, peeing a lot

Yea I didn't think it would take this long, but it is what it is. I was breastfeeding until July and not bding it on the right days for some months I think. Oh well my husband just started clomid now so hopefully that helps. Have a H&H 9 months!!! :yellow:

I feel similar symptoms to last month, so I do not feel pregnant at all. Maybe it is from all the disappointment every month, but at this point I am feeling like maybe it won't happen. I know I shouldn't think like that but just being honest. Anyway, here are my symptoms.

Congratulations. I think your post is really helpful for me in the TWW, thank you.
 
7 dpo - light cramping, really sore boobs hurt to wear a bra
8 dpo - creamy white cm and high cervix (I know for sure I ovulated prior because I tested)

10 dpo - emotional as heck still bfn on test
11 dpo - the sore boobs continue, I've determined bras suck lol....my af is 1 day late but test is still a bfn....adding on massive nausea after eating today.
12 dpo - I'm out AF has arrived

1-6dpo: nothing

10dpo: nauseous after taking a couple of bites of food, BFN
11dpo: nausea after I drank coffee and continues for the rest of the day, cramps in both ovaries for about an hour - never had that unless I was ovulating (maybe implantation cramping?), super horny, BFN, lower belly feels warm
12dpo: random light cramps in ovaries and lower belly, BFN
13dpo:

I am really hoping that I can add a green caption to this, but this is my journey for this time around.

My original time frame seems to be completely off, but given that I have PCOS, I believe that is normal.
My cycle started on January 30th, and ended on February 3rd, which is extremely short for me. It was also much lighter than usual.
CD5: My BBT was 96.80. My husband and I had a BD practice session.
CD6: My BBT was 96.10.
CD7: My BBT was 96.35. My husband and I had a BD practice session.
CD8: My BBT was 97.20. I had a bit of abdominal cramping.
CD9: My BBT was 96.23. I had a bit of cramping, and my breasts were tender. My husband and I had a BD practice session.
CD10: My BBT was 97.33. I had no symptoms.
CD11: My BBT was 96.75. I had a bit of cramping and my breasts were tender. My husband and I had a BD practice session.
CD12: My BBT was 96.76. I had a migraine headache and some cramping. I also had sticky discharge.
CD13: My BBT was 97.18. I had a plethora of issues; a migraine, nausea, fatigue, tender breasts, and some cramping. My husband and I had a BD practice session.

CD18: My BBT was 96.80.
CD19: My BBT was 95.70. We did not have an intimate moment, as my father-in-law had passed in the night.

CD23: My BBT was 96.93.

CD26: My BBT was 96.35.

CD28: My BBT was 96.76. My breasts were tender.
CD29: My BBT was 96.23.
CD30: My BBT was 99.60. I was actually contending with a stomach bug this day, so all the associated symptoms of that, plus dizzyness.
CD31: My BBT was 97.60. I had a migraine and my breasts were tender. My CM was the consistency of thin lotion. My husband and I had a BD practice session.
CD32: My BBT was 96.63. I was contending with some tender breasts, some minor cramping, and a bit of nausea.
CD33: My BBT was 97.05. I was contending with a bit of nausea and some tender breasts. My CM was the consistency of thin lotion.
CD34: My BBT was 96.80. My breasts were more achy than tender, and I felt nauseated, and instead of cramping, I felt some slight twinges, much lower than expected. My CM was the consistency of thin lotion. My husband and I had a BD practice session.
CD35: My BBT was 97.18 this morning. My breasts were bothering me quite a bit, and I noticed that my n***les and the area surrounding were much lighter in color. My CM was the consistency of thin lotion.
To Be Continued...

My newest cycle started on 3/20/2020, after some severe cramping on both sides. So, I will be back in a few weeks with my next post for TTC.

Okay here goes... We have been ttc baby #4 since mid January 2020. I had a chemical pregnancy end of Feb.

1dpo: Extremely sore boobies. Especially nipples! Felt on fire by the evening. Was in so much pain I wanted to take pain meds...but didn't :) CP: high.
CM: creamy/white. Temp slightly high late afternoon.
Had diarrhea. Not normal for me.

2dpo: Breasts not so painful anymore.
Had some weird vivid dream early morning hours.
Some creamy/white cm. Low grade temp late arvo.

3dpo: breasts a bit sore at times. Nothing too bad. Lots of white creamy cm! (Not normal for me). Had another vivid dream previous night. Smells seem to bother me today - as in my sense of smell seems very heightened... too early surely!?

4dpo: (.)(.)’s a little sore. Milky/white cm.
Had vivid dreams. Had some blood on the tissue when blowing my nose.


5dpo: Had some slight cramping- like mild period cramps. Vivid dream - dreamt I asked my sister in law to take a pregnancy test (they are also ttc). Feel more thirsty, drinking more water, having to have more bathroom breaks. Uterus area felt painful when I coughed hard in the pm.
Decreased cm.

6dpo: Felt in the morning as if all my “symptoms” have disappeared. Then later in the day I felt bloated and boobs felt heavier. Had some slight breast tenderness on the sides (area near arm pits). Little bit of white milky cm. Tmi: Diarrhea again! Dizzy spell. Gums bled when I brushed my teeth after lunch.


7dpo: vivid dreams. Creamy cm. Cp: high.

8dpo: Creamy cm. Increased thirst, hence more bath room breaks! ;). Some lower back ache. Decreased appetite.

9dpo: Keep having vivid weird dreams. Tested with frer... bfn.

10dpo: Increased thirst! Drinking tons of water. Some insomnia (very unlike me)... woke up 3 am and again 5:30 and couldn't sleep again! Had some cramping lower abdo. Increased
appetite.

11dpo: Feel moody. Thirtsy. Boobs a bit sore. Just feel pregnant. Tested bfn on frer.

12 dpo: Had to get up really early to use the bathroom. Very very faint :bfp: on frer! God is good all the time! Thank you for this life Jesus! On easter sunday as well! Amazing! Halleluyah!! xXx


*UPDATE: Sadly I will only get to meet this little bubba in heaven as this pregnancy ended in an early miscarriage. I feel blessed to be able to fall pregnant, being 37 years old almost 38, I feel that egg quality/chromosomal abnormality played a role. I believe everything will happen in Gods timing. God is good, all the time! xXx

First time posting! Feeling hopeful about this cycle despite it being almost 2 years of TTC (1 after laparoscopy for Endometriosis)

1 DPO - tender breasts, nipple soreness
2 DPO - tender breasts, nipple soreness, lots of twinges
3 DPO - tender breasts, nipple soreness, lots of twinges again
4 DPO - constipation, tender breasts
5 DPO - came down with a cold (sneezy/runny/stuffy nose), pink spotting first thing when I went to the bathroom (gone by end of day), mild cramping, bloating, constipation, tender breasts
 
Hey ladies.
A lil bit about me before my DPO symptoms. I’m 39 with 3 children already. Daughter just turned 19 and 2 boys 16 and 10. After my youngest, I’ve started to have pains every month and later learned that it’s my ovulation happening. So apparently I don’t need a opk. I did try it out to see if the pains are ovulation and it tested correctly. I also feel cramping after af starts and is full throttle. Last year June I had a Myomectomy where they removed an 8cm fibroid and 3 small ones. I’ve been ttc since December. My bf and I have been dtd days around ovulation and nothing. I haven’t been on bc for about 3 yrs now and I have a definite cycle of 28 days with ovulation on day 14/15. This time around ever in my life had I experience pain days after I ov. My lmp was 3/12. Dtd on 3/24 and ov on 3/25.

5 & 6 dpo I had ov pains again which never happened before. Felt sharp pain on left side then shifted. Lasted for 2 days with lower ab and back pains, left and right side.

6-10 dpo my breast were sore (only happens a 5-7 days before af) also with a slight moment of nausea and headache and constant watery mouth with no taste in my saliva. Spurts of hot flashes

7 dpo went out for breakfast with my bf and the moment I finished eating and was full, literally 5 mins later I was starving with hunger pains that made me feel nauseous.

7-8 dpo had heartburn

9 dpo same as other days just some mild cramping again

10 dpo no symptoms at all

11 dpo Sore breast came back with a sharp pain on left side near arm pit. Later in the night had some twinges again in my lower back.

Af due on Wednesday April 8th. 3 more days. I’ve tested and all bfn.

there’s more....
My daughter gets her pms right after me... hers was late and the smell of eggs turned her stomach. Plus she’s been having cravings for sweet and salty mixtures as I love.
My oldest son has been having hungry spells as if he’s starving.
My youngest has been very clingy.
My dog has been very depressed.
One of my bffs had dreams signifying pregnancy...

what is going on with me??? Could someone help me figure this out.

12 dpo lower abdominal pains. Af due in 2 days. Hope af doesn’t come.

Update::: 13 dpo I feel wet down there but nothing, twinges every so often in lower left ovary area, side I first ovd from with back discomfort. Some heartburn, breast still sore, and slight heat rash in my cheeks. Tested bfn. Af due tomorrow
