Ok lets see... I should have ovulated around the 13th. So I'm 7dpo as of today...Had a few 'occurrences' with hubby on the 8th, 12th, and 15th.
About 4dpo - dizziness, sleepy, headaches, tearful
5dpo - dizzy, sleepy, headaches, not sure if breast tenderness is from conception or scrubbing floors slight cramping, tearful
6dpo - still dizzy, SO SLEEPY, headache, slight breast tenderness, not quite nauseated (more like the icky feeling after eating too much Chinese food LOL), tearful
7dpo (today) - sleepy sleepy sleepy!, dizzy and slight headache, breast tender/sensitive (my child loves to jump on them, I swear), slightly irritable - but mostly tearful, hungry - but too queazy - only ate some bread and butter with iced tea.

Still not sure if and when I should even try to take a test. I don't want to get my hopes up...

And Now...8dpo - really really nauseated if I eat anything. However, my 2yo has had a stomach bug the last few days and has been throwing up. He's all better but I'm hoping i'm pregnant with a baby and not his virus! Other feelings are the same. Want to cry more often now. So sleepy!!!! Someone babysit so I can nap, PLEASE?

I caved and took a FRER this morning... BFN. I'm sorta not surprised because I'm way ahead of myself here.

I haven't updated in a while... symptoms have been pretty much the same but just stronger and more severe. today is... I think 11dpo.
My bewbs are getting more sore, the headaches aren't so bad. I've been wearing pads @ work because I work in health care and rarely get to pee - I'm overweight so is I get a sneeze or cough attack I leak some. lol tmi --but there was a bit of pale pinkish streaks. VERY LIGHT.
Good LORD I'm tired. Yesterday I couldn't keep my eyes open, fell asleep with my LO and hubby woke me up for work this AM and I just couldn't get moving. Ready to go konk out now. I'm still too nervous to try to test this early. This week is killing me - and my tickers are off lol. I'm just gonna wait.

I am curious, though. My period started June 1st. Usually I'd expect it July 1st. Does that mean I have a longer cycle than 14 days? Would all my info be wrong? I've been terrible at tracking cycles before, so I have no real idea of when to ever expect a period.

Still feeling super bloated. It's not quite nausea, more like an over-stuffed over-fed feeling whenever I eat. SUPER thirsty too. -sigh- Im too sleepy to be hopeful. Time is creeping by. Best of luck and congrats to those of you getting your BFPs!!!

I've been checking this forum daily since stumbling upon it earlier this week. Going a little but crazy, and I think the hubs is ready for me to start bouncing my questions/concerns off someone else. Anyway, these are my details, and what I've been going through. ANY replies are welcomed and so appreciated

Started period on May 26th, which lasted 4/5 days. O on approximately 6/9 or 10th... Not quite sure- calendar estimated 6/5-6/12.
Shortly after O I started getting slightly nauseous, boobs got increasingly sore/heavy and have increased in size. I also had a high temp, craved sweets which isn't my thing regularly and have had some major mood swings. Oh, I also had the CRAZIEST dreams every night, which I could remember... So odd.
Tested on 6/22 am: BFN
Last night after going to the bathroom I wiped and had very light pink blood on the tp and was discouraged thinking we were out, then I went the entire rest of the evening with no more blood at all, no spotting.
This afternoon I started spotting with some uncomfortable cramping, but no where near what I experience normally (typically spend my first day in bed very sick). I had brown discharge, pink blood for approximately 9 hours, and now all cramps are gone, just feel uncomfortable in my lower abdomen now. I have also stopped spotting. High temp all day(sweaty-ish), VERY tired, very sore boobs mostly on the sides, highly sensitive nipples. Pretty much all the same symptoms I've experienced since after O.
Period was set to start tomorrow, 6/24 according to my O tracker calendar. Cycles typically 29/30 days.
Going a little crazy... Hubby and I have been trying for just a couple of months, and this will be our first.
Like I said, any and all feedback would be great! Thank you
*not familiar with the abbreviations... I'll do some research. Ha!*

to all!

________Sounds like early implantation maybe??? I am 4 weeks and still have a light brownish discharge--goes from light pink to magenta--it's strange. So, don't worry and try to relax. I had an MC 4 months ago and know that it can be scary....But try not to KEEPING FINGERS CROSSED

Hi Everyone,

I have been totally stalking this thread all last week and have read all of the posts. Many congratulations to those of you who are pregnant and my heart goes out to those of you who have not yet conceived. My prayers are with you for next month. My DH and I are new to TTC #1 and have not been charting anything so my DPOs are mainly estimates.

1-5DPO - Occasional dizziness (especially after weight lifting), headaches & occasional brief nausea
6DPO - Extremely bloated
7DPO - Sharp/dull cramping on both sides, headache, nauseous, dizzy, extremely bloated, car sick
8 DPO - Pulling sensation in lower abdomen, dizzy, boobs feel bigger, urinating frequently, some pain in left side when urinating, tired, hungry
9DPO - Weird feeling in stomach upon waking, tingling in chest, huge boobs, pressure in lower right abdomen, crazy bloated
10DPO - Slept a ton last night, dizzy upon waking, bloated, headaches, toothache (I grind at night so it may just be that), extreme pulling/pinching in right lower ovary area, heartburn after eating, took a HPT =
11 DPO - Dizzy upon waking, moody (feel like AF is coming), restless sleep, sticky/clear CM after running - only once it has been pretty dry, nipples erect and sore to touch when showering, hungry and munching all day, took HPT =
*** Okay, here is where I am concerned. At my softball game (11DPO) at 7:30pm when I hit the ball/ran, it felt like my pelvic region got torn out. I had severe pain from 7:30-middle of the night in my girl area, pelvic, and upper thighs. I could hardly walk or move without crying.
12 DPO - made apt. with OBGyn for tomorrow morning (13DPO), when I woke up still sore but not severe, nauseous, dizzy, wet feelings but not really any CM, keep checking for AF. HPT =

I have a history of ovarian cysts so I am thinking that is what is going on. Praying for a better result.

Hey do you have PCOS? I have PCOS and AF is over 2 months late for me. Last AF was April 21st and I haven't bled since. I was thinking I was pregnant as well but I've taken a blood test and 2 HPTs that were both negative so I think its safe to say I'm not pregnant I'm on CD 65

 

[Hopeful14]

I am 7dpo and reading all everyones symptoms i am thinking i had these symptoms but then i feel my af cramps. where its just a dull pain on the left side radiating down my left leg like always when i have af. but saturday 5dpo i had major sharp pains and gassy pains. i pressed on my left side and right side and it was tight and my whole lower abdomen was tight. I went to the doctor for my 7 day testing and my progesterone was 8. i think that is low but the doc said no worries. I am scared i failed to implant bec of it. there is no way i missed the o bec we bd 5 days in a row. but saturdays pain was something i never felt before. of course i am still POAS bec i refuse to give up. I even did bbt on saturday it was 97 then next two days it was 98. this tww is so difficult

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Didn't track dpo very well last cycle but this round I'm all for it! Fingers crossed for all the ladies still trying!!

1dpo - breasts not tender for once, sticky cm, really tired
2dpo - twinges in left side, still feeling tired, sensitive to smells
3dpo - twinges have moved to my right side
4dpo - mild cramping, aches and twinges on right side, backache
5dpo - mild cramping, achy right side, headache, sore nipples
6dpo - sore nipples, headache, lots of cm - feels like a gush of af starting but it's just milky white!
7dpo - irritable, either going to be the worst af yet or a lovely bfp, I don't usually get this crabby. Picked a fight with DH over a stupid movie commercial.
8dpo - tired & emotional
9dpo - mild dizzy spell, tired, sore nips. lots of cm
10dpo - tired, sore nips, a little bit of cm, crabby, feel like I pulled a muscle in my lady parts, beyond frequent urination
11dpo - tired, sore nips, irritable, smell sensitive (nearly lost breakfast with the smell of the cat litter - *clean* cat litter) and I think my bladder is shrinking
12dpo - bfn, feeling disappointed. Sore nipples, frequent urination, more smell sensitive this morning. I can barely stand the smell of my own breakfast. Minor dizzy spells, mostly when turning to fast.
13dpo - very bloated, mild cramping, chronic feeling of starving making me feel sick.

14dpo - mild cramping (mostly at night), always tired
15dpo - headache, super tired, bloat
16dpo - more mild cramping at night when I'm going to bed, feeling exhausted all day. Severe breast ich, like I could go insane how bad they're itching. Mild cramping, headache & sleepy since lunchtime. DH thinks my breasts look more "supple", I wanted to hope that my breasts looked fuller but I thought it was my imagination

17dpo - bfn but symptoms are staying about the same the past few days. Af due in 2 days, no feeling of her *yet*. Really emotional, I cried when the vacuum unplugged itself when I walked to far away from the outlet.

BaniVani--I am a Registered Nurse in the US and have worked in Labor and Delivery. Light pink tinged CM is fine and normal in early weeks of pregnancy--its just from cervical changes.
Don't worry.

 

[waiting4damon]

Hi all. I know very little about the exact dates of this cycle, my husband and I are more NTNP; I do not use OPK, temping, etc. We BD when I notice EWCM and try to let nature take its course. This month we only BD twice in ovulation prediction window based on my clockwork 31 day cycle.

CD 1 June 1:
CD 15: EWCM BD
CD 16: EWCM BD
CD 17: stretchy CM clear with yellow tinge
CD 20: fatigue, lightheaded several times
CD 21: BD little to no clear CM
CD 22-24: occassional lightheaded
CD 24: BD, vein network to chest and boobs coming to skin surface. 9 DPO (best guess) BFN
CD 25: scant bit creamy white CM, transient sharp prickling pain in area of left ovary
CD 26(11 DPO?): sore, swollen, heavy boobs, white creamy CM, slight lower ab cramps
CD 27: Took 3 Frer and an EPT--BFP!!!

AF should be due July 1st. Will test then and try not to stress.

 

[AlbaNY]

Okay, I am back to join this, because I finally ovulated this month. (I hadn't for several cycles, maybe due to a complex cyst that I have?) Unfortunately there is slim chance of getting pregnant, because as far as we know DF has no sperm, but since I am hopeful...

Ovulation was day 17 of my cycle, according to FF. I noted bad cramps that evening.
Nothing until
5DPO -very tender bewbies and nipples
6DPO -bewbies and nipples still quite sore, some aching toward late night. Ravenous, famished. Unusual! Felt incredibly hungry and craved many things. Ate a whole pizza, tomato and spinach salad, and a mango as an early supper.
7DPO -some discomfort in lower abdomen, sore bewbies and nipples, some cramping.
8DPO -feeling a little crampy, right bewb sore underneath but otherwise they are less sensitive. Sudden nausea and dry heaves this morning. For a while it felt like my nipple was being pinched, hurt. Unpleasant cramp and full feeling low in abdomen in early evening.


Wish us luck! We still haven't seen a specialist but will be getting a referral on Monday. The other day I tried looking through the microscope again, and I may have seen one sperm, maybe. Then I lost it while trying to change to higher magnification. It only takes one, right?

Adding:

9DPO -tender breasts and temp lowered. Starting to realise AF is on the way in just a day or two.
10DPO -tender breasts, and increasingly bad cramps through day. (They never became awful, but they increased.) I kept expecting AF, but nothing yet.

Today is 11DPO, so I haven't much to say yet, but no AF.
It is also cycle day 28, so I am either on time for AF today or up to three days late depending (that is to say I am irregular but should be seeing AF very soon.)
The interesting thing is that my temp went from cover line to 98.04 today.

20:23 tonight I can add that I'm cramping like crazy, and I have been all day. I don't recall normally cramping before AF starts, but it feels like it should start any moment. It is getting wicked bad anyway.
Things became very slippery, and I was sure AF began, but it is "slippery white" CM.

I took a test earlier, but it was negative, so... Expect this to turn red.

 

[Lenka78]

Hello ladies,
I turned 35 last May and on my birthday I told my fiancé that we must start working on a baby, no more postponing. After my first cycle, I had every pregnancy symptom there is. You name it, I had it. I was 100% sure we were that lucky couple who got pregnant at first try. When my period started, I was so devastated. I cried the whole evening (I never cry….). This is when I found this forum and it has been keeping me going since then. June was our 2nd cycle… I did my very best not imagining these pregnancy symptoms, so I will not be disappointed when AF comes… I did a good job. The only symptom I had were fuller boobs. As I calculated my AF was due on June 27th. On June 24th I had an ultrasound, because I have been having a soft bump above my pubic bone for a couple of months. (I still do not know the results). A technician pressed my pelvic so hard, my period started right there… Boom!...Another disappointment… Had two glasses of wine when I got home and a nice cup of coffee this morning… According to my calculations, we have to start ttc again on July 4th.  Wish you all the very best! And thank you for all your posts, you do not even know that how it helps a girl like myself to keep her spirits up…

Don't worry.

Thank you so much...I'm living in Italy and I'm finding it difficult to express my concerns with the nurses. I did go to the ER and they told me everything looked alright. the discharge is a lot less now. It is a big relief to hear it from you!

 

[BaniVani]

AlbaNY----Wishing you Luck!!!! I had mild cramping I think around ovulation and again around implantation

 

[AshNTom]

What do you ladies think?? My symptoms by dpo are on pg 67 for reference. But In saying that, I ovulated much later than expected. This test is taken at 11dpo. On 8dpo I had light pink spotting, opinions please

Thanks ladies!!! Xx

 

[AlbaNY]

AlbaNY----Wishing you Luck!!!! I had mild cramping I think around ovulation and again around implantation

Thanks for the hope and luck.

I'm still in, much to my surprise.
12 DPO I've been feeling like crap today... Nausea, burping, heartburn. I took Prilosec at least an hour ago, but I am only just keeping from heaving.
The cramps went away.

My temp is really high (over 98,) no AF, and all these symptoms, but I wonder if I am just ill with some bug. After all, all tests have been negative.

 

[ChinaGirl]

I see a shadow, AshnTom! No idea if it's an evap or a BFP. It might still be too early for a digital test, but I know that in your shoes I'd be itching to try one!

Aww, AlbaNY! I'm sorry you're feeling yucky. Still, it's a promising sort of yucky!

Glad to have you with us, Lenka! I'm a champion symptom spotter myself. It's SO easy to do! FX for you this month!

WaitingforDamon, I'm hoping you get the best news ever this July!

I SEE SOMETHING-better take another test tomorrow morning
