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

[SmallBear]

Hi SmallBear! I have felt the kitten feeling too! No idea what that is!

Oh, thank goodness I'm not the only one. It's very strange.

Hi everyone! I've literally been reading this entire post all day... all 97 pages of it!

This month I told myself that I wouldn't symptom hunt because I kept getting my hopes up in previous cycles. So DH and I did our best when the OPK told us that I ovulated on June 23rd (CD16). Then after that point, I just went on living life, trying not to stress.

I tested on DPO13 - when AF was expected and received a
I tested again this morning on DPO15 - and received yet another

In my last few cycles has been on time or a little early, so I'm very confused. On top of being timely, she sure is a huge B... crazy cramps, horrible pain... but I don't feel that right now.

On top of the fact that my BBs are sore, I'm light headed, occasionally nauseous, exhausted (yet somehow very unable to sleep last night), and I have this weird feeling like I'm full, yet empty at the same time. I realize that makes absolutely no sense, but that's the best way I can describe it. I've also been going to the bathroom WAY more frequently than I normally do. I don't have any cramps which usually go hand in hand with AF, just the occasional very dull tiny pull... I just want to know!

Reading this post today really helped calm my nerves. Hoping to give you all good news from my end soon... or at least "news" - the waiting is really getting to me.

CD 12 today.
According to the test strips, I should be ovulating today or tomorrow...but I am still learning how these things work!
After AF last time, the boob soreness went away and I had the WORST CRAMPS EVER. AF was right on time, but it made me wonder if something had been going on. But, here we are again! BD today. Lots of pinching today on my left side. Wondering if that was ovulation? Sticky CM tonight.
We will see what tomorrow brings!

CD 13...super fat dark line on the OPK for the third day. Cervix is soft today and slightly open. CM is thick and white. We bd'd the last two days, and planning it again later tonight. Boob pain on the undersides today, so I know ovulation is going on...just not sure which day it was. Anyone good with using the OPKs? How do you pinpoint?

So not positive but I THINK I o'd on Saturday, so we will say that.

2 DPO- Some minor underboob pain. Very heavy but creamy and lotion-like white CM. (like...wow...lots in my undies! I am usually fairly dry.) Cervix is closed. Temp dipped last night. Back up to almost 99 today. (just started paying attention to temp, so no idea what that even means)

Congrats on that positive---something is working right? Drinks lots of water and don't forget to keep your legs elevated for a bit when you're at home!

Hi nikinabox!
I found a lot of support in this group and thankfullly, I'm now 6 weeks along. I continue to spy just to see how things work out for everyone. It's such a happy moment to get that positive sign on the tester! Hope you get one soon!!!!

 

[nikinabox]

Thanks Banivani! And a huge congratulations to you!!! So exciting

I am now 16DPO and still no AF. But I realized when I woke up that I didn't have any tests, just a digital, which I know can be less sensitive. So I'll have to buy some after work and test tomorrow if AF still hasn't shown her ugly face!

I may have spoke too soon! Right after I posted, I started having slight cramps and a little bit of light brown spotting, but (tmi) only when I wiped.

AHHHHHH!

Well, I went ahead and tested yesterday. Got some pics of it. At first I thought it was negative. Then awhile after testing I wanted to see if any had evaps. I lined up my tests to compare and saw something on my 7dpo test. I swore it wasn't there before. I figured it was an evap of course. Well, I also saw something on the 8dpo test. Granted, when I looked at them in the morning when I took them I didn't really put much effort into it. I just looked and said eh it's negative. Well, I pulled my pic for the 8dpo test. It seems to maybe have something on it. So I got the pics from today's again and sure enough I might have a line.

That's the 9dpo test. If you click invert you can see it. I may just be nuts. But several have said they see it. I'm not getting my hopes up too much. I still figure it's negative. It was taken with diluted urine after all. Couldn't be helped. I dunno, maybe I'm just going nuts. I figure I'm going nuts.

Then again, while I write this (okay, copy and paste from another thread) I have started crying at a TV show I'm watching because one character brought a Christmas tree and put it outside the conjugal trailer another character was in so her family could have her tree (sort of). I've seen the episode a dozen times. Maybe even more. Never cried at that part... If that's not hormones running rampant I don't know what it is. Anyway, don't feel bad if ya don't see anything.

I can definitely see a line ValDante!!!!!

nikinabox: Hmm maybe it's just too early cause this morning all I got was an indent. Maybe I'll break the FRER out after a few hours of holding.

3 DPO - some pinching in my belly. Sore boobies.

I totally see a line! It's faint, but it's there!

I am one of those people who can NEVER see a line when everyone else does, but this one looks very obvious to me. Try testing again tomorrow and seeing what happens.

AHHHHHH!

Now spotting has stopped 100%, and I'm very nauseous. So confusing

 

[ValDante]

nikinabox and BoobsMcGee: It does make me feel better having you guys say that since my test this morning seems very negative. I don't have evaps on older tests though so I don't know if it's a fluke or what. But I guess I'll find out in a few days.

 

[nikinabox]

I just spent an unneccessary amount of time on countdown to pregnancy messing around with all of the calculators, etc... I thought it would make me feel better about my situation, but it's actually making me feel worse.

Obviously I want the BFP this month, but a big part of that is because I know I'm going to be out next month since my DH and I are going on vacation with his family (sharing a room) - and of course, it's right when I usually O.

I'm feeling pretty low, and I think AF is right around the corner. She loves to mess with us!
