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

[madeline36]

Hi ladies! New here. Wanted to share my TWW symptoms. A little background is my husband and I were unexpectedly expecting in March of 2010 and lost our baby around 5 weeks. I got on the pill after that. Got off the pill this past October and found out I was pregnant Jan 18th. Baby's heart stopped beating at 8 weeks on Feb 19th so I got a D&C the next day. Baby got sent off for testing and we found out it had Trisomy 14. Husband and I then got tested and after 3 long months of waiting to hear results, we thankfully found out we are NOT carriers of the gene! But I do have hypothyroidism with Hashimoto's and my doctor also thinks I have a blood clotting disorder. Waiting for the results as we are now finally able to TTC.

Here are my DPOs so far (O date is estimated since my cycles have been all over the place since the D&C):

1-4 DPO - sharp twinges in both ovaries
5 DPO - tired, nipples hurt so bad, everything smells like dirty diapers, burping
6 DPO - tired, migraine all throughout the night, burping, cramping
7 DPO - slept in late, sharp twinges in both ovaries, irritable, thirsty, exhausted, cramping, frequent urination when trying to go to sleep - peed 5 times in 1 hour
8 DPO - slept in late, exhausted, sharp twinges on left ovary, dark veiny boobs, thirsty, everything tastes gross
9 DPO - slept in late, woke up so hungry my tummy was gurgling, dark veiny boobs, thirsty, stomach feels achy and bloated, Kit Kat was most amazing thing I've ever tasted (I usually hate them)
10 DPO - tossed and turned all night, woke up way early with stomach growling, dizzy, gassy, upset stomach, constipated, very nauseous, nipples tingly, just feel pregnant!

And here I sit at 10 DPO. It's only 10 in the morning here and I'm feeling all of these crazy symptoms already!
Planning on testing at 12 DPO (June 16th) since it will be Father's Day! Wouldn't that be great to find out we're pregnant on Father's Day?! Anyone else testing then?

Lots of sticky baby dust to you all!

Hi MandySandy- I am trying to hold out testing until the 22nd, as that is when AF is due, but I will likely cave and test on the 16th, which is 9dpo. I know it's ridiculous, but hey, it could happen I was laughing at some of your symptoms, particularly the kitkat thing. I made Butterfinger cupcakes yesterday and I don't even eat butterfingers. I just needed really decadent cupcakes and that was all there was to it! I have also noticed being really tired, somewhat gassy and hungry as all get out too.

Let's hope for BFP! You are ahead of me a few days, so hope to see your BFP this month!

Hi ladies,

This is such a great idea. I'm pretty sure I'm out this month but my symptoms have been so unusual that I recorded them, and here they are.

1dpo sore and swollen boobs
2dpo sore and swollen boobs
3dpo sore and swollen boobs
4dpo sore and swollen boobs
5dpo sore and swollen boobs
6dpo sore and swollen boobs (are you beginning to see a pattern?)
7dpo sore and swollen boobs
8dpo sore and swollen boobs
9dpo normal boobs! (and they have remained normal); very mild hot flushes, very mild flu-like symptoms, did a FRER, .
10dpo A little dizzy, a little headachey.
11dpo Mild headache, mild hot flushes, mild dizziness.
12dpo Very dizzy in morning, got better as day went on. A little creamy CM and a little acne - both bad signs as I always get them a day or two before AF.
13dpo Today. Mild headache and limb aches, although much better than they have been. Cramping has started so I think the old girl is on her way, the rotten witch.

I'm in my mid 40s and we're not trying, not preventing (just letting nature take her course), so it would be a miracle if it happened. The above symptoms, apart from the CM and acne on 12 dpo, are so unusual for my cycle that l thought maybe ... but I don't think it's to be and maybe my cycle is changing with my age.

Good luck to you all!

 

[Birchbud]

ok here goes... 1 - 6 dpo slight bloating and what started as normal o boobs but lasted longer
7dpo cramps, spotting, and temp dip. and havent slept well for past 4 nights.

 

[munchy]

I like this idea! Please bare in mind where I'm saying I'm emotional, don't think too much of it, it's only 7 weeks since I lost baby #1 and my friend was killed 2 weeks ago, went to his funeral 2dpo, so not sure if it's just the circumstances or if it's being increased by 'symptoms'
1dpo-ewcm, emotional, tummy cramps.
2dpo- little bit of creamy cm, headache (though did a lot of crying that day), emotional, huge increase of libido! , tummy cramps.
3dpo -little to no cm, emotional, still a massive rise in libido , lighter tummy cramps, stuffy nose.
4dpo - Watery cm, slight decrease in libido, emotional (still!), tummy cramps even lighter still, sweet craving, stuffy nose, random foul mood in the evening, woke up im the night feeling awful, sore throat blocked nose etc, spots on chin.
5dpo - woke up feeling rotten still, pulling feeling in my tummy, slight nausea, headache, cold.
6dpo - 'funny tummy' slightly crampy, very pulled like I had been working out, itchy boobs, felt like I was going to bring up my dinner, nose still blocked, itchy boob at one point.
7dpo - Still blocked nose/under the weather, slight nausea, a few 'emergency trips to the toilet' woke up feeling very er 'wet' down there thought AF had come but went to the toilet and nothing at all, eating some I usually love and it suddenly tasted awful and thought I was going to be sick, yellowish disharge, itchy boob (just the one!!! haha)

Good Luck Munchy...sorry to hear about your friend who passed away.

 

[angelsar]

Well here I am again. I'm currently approx 12 dpo. On day 10 dpo I had a very small pinkish tinge when I wiped. I checked inside me and there it was again. There has been absolutely nothing since, inside or out. Iv had mild cramping, very sore boobs and mood swings to name but a few. Apart from the spotting this is nothing unusual tho. AF is due in 3 days now. Could the spotting be implantation? Pls help

 

[samw1993]

LMP was May 19, 2013. Most likely I'd on June 3rd. BF and I had unprotected sex on June 1 and June 9.
1dpo: nothing
2dpo: nothing
3dpo: headache and moody
4dpo: dull cramping, headache, moody, stuffy nose
5dpo: headache, dull cramping (btw nothing close to AF cramping), stuffy nose, really thirsty, nausea, dull backache, getting full easily then being hungry again an hour or so later, really tired, milky white watery CM with a wet feeling down there, pee breaks a lot
6dpo: same as above but add gassy
7dpo: same as above but add constipation as well
8dpo: same as above. Exhausted, BBs on and off tender with puffy aerolas. Raised white bumps on aerolas and tiny white bumps on nipples.

Forget to add on 8dpo that BBs are also fuller and heavier

9 DPO: Same as above. Super exhausted. Nauseous to the point where I need tums by me. BBs are more tender.
Also tested this morning just to see. I got a BFN but I know its still too early.

10 dpo: same as above but add insomnia. I have barely been able to sleep the past 2 days.

11dpo same as above but BFN. starting to lose hope guys. I still have a few more days so I'm not out of the game yet.

12 DPO some of the symptoms have gone away. What's left on my list are gassy, exhaustion, dull cramps (nothing like AF), a wet feeling down there (makes me keep thinking that AF has come), moody, full tender BBs with the Montgomery glands sticking out, getting full easily then being hungry again an hour later, bloated, headaches, nausea, hot flashes (I keep going from hot to cold. Its like my body can't make up its mind), frequent bathroom trips, and thirsty all the time. My back hurts sometimes too.

 

[ValDante]

So with each passing day my list of symptoms increases. I'm at the point I'm not sure if some of them are PMS or potential pregnancy...I've updated my symptoms by DPO on page 72. Think those are promising?

It could be implantation bleeding! I would test tomorrow as it would probably show up if you are pregnant

Mine are slowly coming back. I took another test today 13dpo and it was a BFN. I'm crossing my fingers and praying that I get a BFP soon.

My back still hurts. The only way I can sleep is with my bf there and I'm in his arms. When he's not here I have insomnia. This started at around 8 dpo. I'm becoming forgetful. I can't remember what other symptoms I'm having. I tested this morning (with 2nd pee oops on my part) and it came out a BFN.

1 DPO~ itchy eyes, bloating, and gassy.
2 DPO~ bloated, twinges on the left ovary side, headache, urinating a lot and some nipple tenderness.
3 DPO~ extremely sensitive nipples, some gas, and some bloating.
4 DPO~ extremely sensitive nipples, light cramping with some twinges and I am very tired almost like I put a whole days work in and it is just the morning. A little emotional.
5 DPO~ woke up with a yucky taste in my mouth kinda like a mitallic taste, bloating, tired, sensitive nipples, lower back soreness, sense of smell increase, face acne, and leg pain.
6 DPO~ constipated, small sharp pain in my left breast, nipple tenderness, feeling hot and flushed, and some bloating. Starting to feel a little frisky
7 DPO~ woke up with a stuffy nose, ichy eyes, cramping lower left side,urinating several times in the middle of the night, and super hungry. A touch of Nausea and not able to lay on tummy. Tonight I had horrible cramps and really bad nausea almost about to throw up. Not like me. Hard not to get excited.
8 DPO~ Last night I had very vivid dreams and most were about sex, I figured it was because I have been feeling frisky these last couple of days, I have been having back aches off and on the whole time. Tender breasts, bloated, hot flashes, strong thirst, super hungry, tiredness, and peeing like a race horse day and night. I am craving fresh veggies and fruits.
9 DPO~ Been having vivid dream, light cramping, bloating, and nausea.
10 DPO~vivid dreams, cramping, bloating, lower back cramping, and very very tired.
11 DPO~vivid dreams, cramping, cant lay on my tummy when sleeping, very bad mood swings. I can not apply any real pressure to my lower pelvic area, I also have loose stool.
I am feeling kinda like i will get my AF and not the
Not feeling so hopeful anymore.
12 DPO~ Woke up with horriable cramps, SUPER tired, waves of nausea, bloated, tender breasts, and pressure in and around uterus.
13 DPO~ woke up feeling normal, light cramping, pressure on lower left of the uterus, and tender breasts and a headache. Super horny but afraid to be with my hubby because of the contradicting thoughts on if it is safe during the 2ww.
14 DPO~ Woke up feeling good, Backache, headache.
15 DPO~ woke up with a headache and back cramping and sharp pain. I went to my doctors to take the test but by the time I got home AF showed up.

Round 3 starts after AF leaves.

 

[bamm]

I thought I'd add my symptoms leading up to AF - Pretty sure i'm 9-10dpo now.

I'm adding these straight from my period tracker app

O day (suspected): O pains, feeling like bd'ing
1DPO: Bd - ovulation cramps, itchy nipples
2DPO: Itchy nipples, headache and nausea all day
3DPO: Itchy nipples, frequent urination
4DPO: Fatigued, sore boobs (never get before AF) really emotional, cramping, stark white Ovulation tests, feeling achy and just want to cry.
5DPO: Nauseous, sore boobs, really tired, stuffy nose (but I'm always a bit snuffly), really bloated
6DPO: super sense of smell, nails feel really strong, which is weird for me, constipated, really gassy, feeling flushed, which is an AF symptom for me
7DPO: This morning I woke up laughing hysterically from a funny dream I had, haven't done that in YEARS. Really gassy, itchy nipples return, gassy, fatigued, brief metallic taste, which shouldn't happen as I've spent 9k on dental work this year and my mouth no longer bleeds when brushing, so it was weird.
8DPO: Blood in nose when blowing it, small amount. sore throat, couldn't sleep until 1am then slept in to 1040am! AF aches with a BM - felt like I was meant to O now, but took a test and was totally negative, pressure headache above eyes making me want to sleep.
9DPO: Peeing like a mother - awful sleep, kept waking up wanting water. Chapped lips but sore throat is gone. No nausea so far.

8DPO - Temp jump by .3C ? feeling warmer, creamy white cm, sore bbs, lower back discomfort, restless sleep. tired eyes, emotional, dry lips, bloated, more bowel movements (TMI), more frequent trips to loo. Really feeling I am going to get BFP but maybe just convincing myself so trying not to get my hopes up. Really don't want to see AF just wants these days to hurry up!
9DPO - Temp still high, creamy/watery CM, restless sleep, bloated, more bowel movements (TMI), more frequent trips to loo, emotional, used to be a smoker and now off the smell,
10DPO - Temp high but not as high as before, restless sleep, bloated, more bowel movements (TMI), more frequent trips to loo, emotional, used to be a smoker and now off the smell, oh green dots in CM??

So AF is due tomorrow and still having creamy CM, last time I had a BFP it was past AF 1-5 days past so hoping very much that this is the case this time around! My friend just got her BFP on the weekend so really want to be in it with her.

14DPO - No AF but BFN?!! Starting to think I may be out with my cycle, thinking maybe why I got my last bfp at 5 days past AF might actually of been CD35 (not sure what dpo though). I haven't had two AF's in a row since coming off bc and having a BFP. So maybe im not a 28 day and more of a 35 day? Oh well my symptoms are lower back pain, clear/creamy CM, Headaches, Bloated, Restless sleeps, more trips to the loo, emotional. Ill be waiting to test at the same time as my last BFP so in another 7 days maybe.
15DPO - Lower back cramps, breakout on face, frequent trips to the loo, restless sleep, slight nausea which passes fast, dizziness, vivid dreams, bloated, tested BFN
16DPO - Lower back cramps, breakout on face, frequent trips to the loo, restless sleep, slight nausea which passes fast, dizziness, vivid dreams, bloated, tested at 5pm and got a very clear !!!!! on a FRER So it wasn't just all in my head after all!
18DPO - Went for blood test at GP HCG results will be available tomorrow.

Sorry forgot to add face acne! since 5DPO!!!
Congratulations to all those that have happened since my last update! and for those whose arrived I'm sure you'll get your BFP soon don't give up hope

JUST TURNING THIS GREEN LADIES hopefully a sticky bub this time around
