Hello I’m back after about 7 years!!
Kinda trying, not preventing for baby number 3 and I’m going a bit do-lally here!!
I’ve never symptom spotted so much in my life... I’m even gonna include random bodily feelings cos you never know if they’re related‍
In terms of dtd I think we were spot on this month...
1-4/5 dpo- felt very swollen down there
Lots of watery cm,way more than normal
Sore eyes, stinging like mad
Headaches, not really a sufferer
Very sore lower back for days
Spotty neck and face
Around 7 dpo weird fluttery feelings
Random nauseous feelings
Random ravenous feelings and craving comfort foods
Back still killing
Sleeping like a log but working lots of hours so understandable
Bloated belly
Hot days but noticed my body odour smells weird/strong!! Not normal!
Around 9dpo dry mouth, more headaches
Heightened sense of smell, could myself commenting on things that no one else is noticing!!
Crying watching a saddish tv programme
Lots of creamy cm
Such restless sleep even though I’m knackered
Around 12 dpo Chapped lips
Bunged up nose in mornings
Reduced appetite, not enjoying meals like I normally do
Moments of ‘welling up’ with emotion
Strange ‘electrical twinges ’ sensation near right ovary
Metallic taste or is it my imagination?
More strange pulsing sensation
So bloated
Back still killing
Not much going on on the boob front apart from my nips hurt when I ran down the stairs at work and I’m trying to decide I’d they look a bit bigger??

tomorrow I will be 12dpo... can you see why I think I’m going mad?
I won’t test, I will just wait to see if AF comes, I’m too scared
Good luck to all in the same boat xx

 

[Bevziibubble]

@Saxonmama Welcome back and good luck

 

[kksy9b]

Back again for round 2 of TTC baby #3!

1-2 DPO - Nothing

3-4 DPO - bloating in PM

5DPO- gassy and bloating late afternoon/early evening

6 DPO- creamy CM

7DPO- All my typical pre AF symptoms hit today. Loose stools in AM, bloating in afternoon, breaking out and ravenous that night (usually happens one night 1-2 days before AF hits). Sensitive nipples. extremely gassy in late afternoon/evening, which is uncommon. BFN on tests

8DPO- BFN with FMU and SMU. slight cramping on and off throughout the day. No AF, which is a relief since it would be way too early. Temps looked great today. Sensitive nipples but it's always hard to know if that's real or just in my head. Around noon my eyes started feeling like they had concrete attached to them and struggled all afternoon against the tiredness. Physically feel fine, just my eyes are sleepy. Watery/creamy CM but not much of it. Hoping everything is a good sign of implantation and not having a super short LP this cycle. Tomorrow's temp should hopefully give me some good info and just praying I can get through the next 24 hours without my period starting (and would then feel better about all my pre- AF symptoms hitting)

9DPO- woke up with temps at cover. This happened with my last pregnancy as well (wasn't temping for my oldest). Feeling pretty conflicted. Obviously I hope this is an implantation dip and I get a great rise back tomorrow or the next day. But if AF is going to show, I just pray it holds off a few more days so I can feel more confident going into the next cycle that I don't have a short LP issue to deal with. No AF throughout the day Was SUPER tired this morning and took a nap. Felt refreshed and then in the early evening that same so tired struggling to keep eyes open hit. Feeling a bit emotional as well. Will test in AM if no AF and temp stays steady/rises

10DPO- temp back up but not back to where it was before it fell, a bit crampy. Feel like AF will come soon

11DPO- Temp slight drop, emotional during the day. Started spotting in the late afternoon. AF full on next morning.

[Tuesday32]

I don’t know how to change colour but update BFN.

Hi,
New here after a cp last month so here goes so far. Third cycle of trying.
We dtd pretty much everyday during my fertile week. Checked cm and I suffer from ovulation pain.
1dpo: headache and really bad cramps (obviously unrelated)
2dpo: creamy cm
3dpo: creamy cm, trouble sleeping.
4dpo: stretchy, thick cm, trouble sleeping hence headache.
5dpo: headache, no sleep again, Stretchy cm this morning, lots of Tacky white cm on afternoon and continued.
6dpo:Slept, feel better, Tacky cm. I normally get heavy, aches boobs not this month. My boobs were ridiculously heavy last month (which was a cp).
7dpo: nothing, I just feel out this month.
8dpo: headache and no symptoms. I got my faint positive last month on day 8.
9dpo: headache no symptoms, feel like I have a cold coming.
10dpo: No headache today, still not sleeping. Tbh I have been so snappy and moody this month Boobs aren’t sore, they were last month before cp. Af type cramps for 10-20 mins and when went to the toilet and wiped there was brown discharge. I don’t feel like I did last month. I think I might Be out..
11dpo: EWCM when I checked. Sore boobs. Headache. I am not getting the cramps I got last month so I am not hopeful. Exhausted, slept really well.
12dpo: period due today as I have a short cycle (24days). No period and a very, very faint bfp On a internet cheapie. I have ordered a first response off amazon So should arrive tomorrow. Test again in a couple of days of period doesn’t show up. Exhausted slept really well.
13dpo: AF type pains, brown discharge when wipe... I feel AF is on her way. Tested on a frer BFN.
14dpo: AF arrived in full force.

good luck everyone!

soz I never came back after this!! Was obviously all in my head because af came a day early!!

Anyhoo, I’m now about a week past ovulation but I’m not even paying it much attention this month and we literally DTD once so it would be an absolute miracle !!

 

[Samiam03]

10 dpo here. I got my bfp! My two symptoms were - feeling exhausted and run down (which was more noticeable today when I struggled in the gym)...and I’m a Red Bull and preworkout addict and this was day three of nausea and overall being turned off at the idea of either.

 

[JAJuly2013]

I'll play!
I ovulated on CD 14 based on a positive OPK on CD 13.

• 1-5 DPO - Sore breasts, abdominal cramps, low back pain
• 6 DPO - Sore breasts, also felt an odd "twinge" in both nipples at the same time.
• 7 DPO - Burning/cramping sensation down low in my uterus. Abdominal cramps, gas
• 8 DPO - Mild cramping, tender breasts,
• 9 DPO - Tender breasts, VVVFL on IC
• 10 DPO - on IC and Equate blue dye
• 11 DPO - on FRER and IC
• 12 DPO - on IC and First Response Rapid Result. Mild cramps and sore breasts especially under armpits.

Edited to add I also noticed I had a stuffy nose which turned into a runny nose. Can't recall which DPO I was but I believe it was around 8 DPO.

I can probably stop testing now...but probably won't. It's too fun to see those 2 lines!!!

 

[Miss Phoenix]

Oooh this sounds like fun!

0-5dpo - slight cramp/gas, emotions all over the place (that’s pretty normal for me though hehe), fatigue, tender breasts on and off

5dpo - sore breasts, really sore head today! Might be too much coffee though, I’ve been so tired! Slightly more noticeable cramping

6dpo - nausea/gagging, mega low mood, sharp stabbing pain in right breast for a while that hurt when I breathed in (prolly not PG related as I’m feeling a bit rundown even before Oday)

7dpo - tired, brighter mood, slightly bloated, less nauseous, CM has been varying between watery/sticky/gritty over last few days, CP high (i think.. I’m new at checking lol)

8dpo - slightly weepy this morning but mood has been ok, slight headache and a little ache in my ribs, CP high (I think?)

These mostly feel like my PMS symptoms so not entirely sure if I’m getting ahead of myself haha but we live in hope!

9-10dpo - more of the same, two BPNs

11dpo - BFN

12dpo - AF arrived 2 days early!

Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone!

 

[SugarNSpice27]

Wow - the dedication and attention to detail on here is MINDBLOWING!!!!!

My only symptom early on was a bit of PMT (I was frustrated AF was late by 2 days!). I tested and got a BFP when I was 5 days late so...ariund 19 DPO. I have since experienced sore bbs, nausea (both more severe before 9 weeks), knock-you-out exhaustion (which I still have), stretching sensations, some cramps, constipation, headaches for a few days (horrible)...bascically the lot!

After years of TTC about a decade ago, I realised I found it very difficult to differenciate between PG and PMT so we decided to NTNP and not think about it!

Anyway, to answer the question, PMT and BFP were my signs!

Good luck everyone!

~~ DTD 2days prior to O. (predicted O date through period tracker app.)~~
(OH travelled away for work just before O but Fx!)

1DPO ~ No symptoms
2DPO ~ Feeling irritable, low back pain & cramps
3DPO ~ Low back pain & cramping again
4DPO ~ DTD
5DPO ~ Heartburn
6DPO ~ DTD

7DPO ~ Feeling light headedness in the morning alongside the faintest pressure in my head, almost nauseated. Throughout the day, cramping in lower abdomen, dull achey back & bloated stomach,
Mild heartburn late in the eve.

8DPO ~ Extremely bloated with tummy feeling tender, (great difficulty to even suck my belly in) gassy with tendencies for heartburn still ongoing yet still mild.

9DPO ~ Sharp twinges in both sides of what felt like my ovaries lots of changing feelings present in that area in general, again tender lower tummy

10DPO ~ Fatigue and itchy belly

11DPO~ So much pulling and tugging down close to my ovaries with twining pains, dull lower back pain and thighs

12DPO ~ Gassy, bloated for hours after dinner & mild heartburn. I noticed tender stomach muscles during yoga class. Afterwards I felt so crampy and sore in my stomach. I was mindful not to over stretch the belly as my stomach muscles just felt so tight, no room to stretch.

13DPO ~ Early morning twinging at both ovaries, feeling irritable (probably PMS symptoms), slight heartburn before dinner. Boobs feel fine, no real indication of AF on the way as normally they would feel full, heavy and sore with 1day to go.

14DPO ~ TEST BFN. AF arrived the following day

 

[kksy9b]

Not holding a lot of hope this month. I ovulated 2 days later than I usually do (so CD 17 with a 26 day cycle). LH had started to surge and backed off 2 times before a full positive came. My suspicion is it's a bad egg. BUT....you never know and I'll kick myself if I don't keep track of things!!

1-6 DPO Nothing

7 DPO- woke up in AM with severe, pre-labor like, cramping. Lasted about 10-15 minutes, very sharp under belly button and radiating out. Sore for about 30 minutes afterwards before it was better. maybe implantation?? or could have always just been a really bad gas bubble Breasts feel full today

8 DPO- bloated and gassy. Temp dip today, well above cover still but seems like AF will be here sooner than later. sensitive nipples

9DPO- temp held steady this morning. Light cramping and a little breakout around my nose (typical pre-AF symptom). Was supposed to start spotting today but with the delayed ovulation this cycle, it could show up anytime from today to Sunday. I feel like I will probably start spotting tomorrow and full force Saturday. ready to move on.

10DPO- temp fell well under cover, AF started mid-day

 

[Kiwiberry]

Here is my experience:
WARNING: I might be off by 1 DPO in either direction for the beginning of this list. I don't know when I actually ovulated & went based off of what Fertility Friend predicted for my average 32 day cycle.

• 1 DPO: RLS (restless leg syndrome), which i only get when pregnant. I've read that for some women it can be a sign of when conception occurs (not implantation but when sperm meets egg). In my case, this was true.
• 2 DPO: White, super thick, odorless CM. It had the consistency of egg whites that are already cooked.
• 3 DPO: On & off nausea, not strong, just present. Sense of smell also increased.
• 4 DPO: EWCM that turned milky smooth smooth later in the day.
• 5 DPO: On & off nausea.
• 7 DPO: Nausea is a little stronger than before & stretchy, sharp, ligament type cramping. Had one vvfl & one negative on 2 $store cassette tests (the pink colored ones). Only visible in a photo when tweaked.
• 9 DPO: crampy (back too), headaches, moody, RLS again, fatigue, bloating.
• 10 DPO: Another vvfl on an FRER. It was only visible to me, did not pick up on a photo.
• 11 DPO: Feeling like I want to cry over everything. Another vvfl on an FRER. Negative on a walmart cassette test. Most still could not see it in a photo.
• 12 DPO: Another vfl on FRER & walmart cassette test. This time, some could see a little something but were unsure if posirive or not with a photo.
• 13 DPO: on FRER!! Light, but definitely there & pink!!

UPDATE: Ended in a loss for me .

*** BFP story ***

Hi everyone,

So here is how it is for me. For context, this is my wife and I's first time TTC, third month trying with an at home insemination and frozen sperm.
We inseminated one time, 24 hours after ovulation, used a bit of preseed, no softcup, orgasm right after inseminating, and legs up for about an hour. Then sleep.

I only started my prenatals a few days before the insemination, because I am bad at remembering things.
I also want to say that from 1DPO to 6-7DPO, any symptoms that I had are likely due to progesterone levels rising in my body. That being said, on a regular cycle with AF for me, I usually don't feel anything after ovulation, and before AF my boobs are sore for 2-3 days and cramps start mildly the day before and I can feel AF coming on. So anything outside of that is a bit unusual for me.
Also, my boobs are the size of Texas (G or H cup), so when I say they are sore, I mean they are SORE lol.

Anyways, here is how it went:

1-4DPO: no symptoms

5DPO: bloated, mild headache and backache

6DPO: bloated and gassy, mild headache and backache, nauseous at night, generally feeling hot, slept A LOT

7DPO: nauseous, bloated and gassy, hot flashes, sore boobs at night when bra is coming off, frequent urination, watery CM, feel hot, craving cream cheese and crackers,

8DPO: nauseous, sore boobs, frequent urination, hungry often, thirsty, skin break out, same cravings, feel hot

Woke up 3-4 times at night to pee, feeling really full

9DPO: tired, sore boobs, mild cramps, tired, slightly bloated, frequent urination, slightly nauseous, snacking all day long, thirsty, slight stuffy nose, hot flashes at night

10DPO: tired, diarrhea in the morning, a lot of cramps all day, feels like AF is going to come, SORE boobs, skin breakout, bloated at night, legs feel heavy and tired, frequent urination

Took a FRER at night and after 3 minutes I got my first BFP with a vfl!

11DPO: took another FRER early this morning, and got another vfl, same on cheapy. Diarrhea in the morning, bloated, frequent urination, smelly armpit (according to my wife lol)

12DPO: BFP on FRER with faint line, digital says “YES” and “pregnant”, still bloated (pants feel tight), super tired, a bit crampy at night, frequent urination, hot flashes at night and generally feel hot

13DPO (so far): line got darker on FRER, bloated, and crampy

That is where we are at now
Tuesday, September 15th is supposed to be the day AF is due, so we are waiting until then to make an appointment with my OBGYN to confirm the pregnancy.

I hope everyone is doing okay during this pandemic! We live in California, so it's starting to be a bit hard to breathe around here. I hope everyone is safe!!
