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

[ValDante]

Well, it's 14dpo. My temp at 6:05 was 98.25. I adjusted it for funsies and if I'd taken it at the normal time that would have made my temp 98.73. If AF was going to show it would have been WAY lower. And I'm completely sure about ovulation. Checked the cervix (mostly was checking internally for any sign of AF beginning) and it feels like it's shut nice and tight. So...here's hoping this is it.

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)

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

4 DPO - SUPER sore and warm boobies. Not thinking it means anything since the same thing happened last month. Mild cramps here and there. Creamy white CM. Nothing exciting today.

5 DPO - OUCH!!! BOOBIES!!! OUCH!!! Super sore. Mild cramping. SUPER gassy all night. (TMI) Slept terrible. INCREDIBLY weird and vivid dreams when I was asleep. Not much else.
Edit: Have a crazy drippy nose today!!!
Temp DIPPED tonight! Crossing fingers that is an implant dip!

6 DPO - Strange vivid dreams. Woke up a few times to pee last night. Some cramping this morning in my lower abdomen, especially standing at the sink doing dishes. Boobies are sore and a bit swollen. Pinching on the lower left side. CM is creamy white. Pinching pains in my lower back on the left side.

7 DPO - More vivid dreams. Boobies feel less sore today, but I get sharp pains in one every so often. I'm cranky this morning.

8 DPO - MORE vivid dreams. Knees are so sore in the joint that I can barely walk today. Lots of cramping overnight. Boobies are still sore. Gassy at night. CM is white and lotion-like. Cervix is so high, I can't reach it.

9 DPO - HORRIBLE migraine last night. Vivid dreams. Slight CM...creamy and white, but pretty dry otherwise. Cervix is high. Cramping all night. Not much else going on today, outside of insatiable hunger. But that could be boredom too.

10 DPO - Sore boobies. Vivid dreams. Cranky! Crampy at night.

11 DPO - More vivid dreams. Sore, heavy boobies. Headaches. Got a bit queasy this morning on an empty stomach, and then again after lunch. Some crampy feelings. CM is pretty dry. Feeling out of the running this month already...like AF is prepping her arrival.

[BabyBell23]

1 dpo - bad mood.

2, 3 & 4 dpo - bad mood, slight pains on left side and a fluttery feeling?? Very gassy.

5, 6, 7 - even worse mood! Veiny boobs, slight sickness, little pain on same side and fluttery feeling. Even more gassy.

8 and 9 dpo - mood still bad but a little better, sickness has gone, same pain/ flutter in uterus. Little heartburn but not much.

I'm hoping this month is my month but I'm starting to doubt it

 

[ValDante]

This was taken with FMU. I'm 15dpo (one day late). Now, in April I had a + but on 16dpo bled and lost it. So...I'm really nervous. Back then, though, it didn't get this dark. It was always barely visible.

Wow!!! Well, that's a good sign I would say! Means your hormone levels are climbing!

 

[waiting4damon]

ValDante, is that an HPT or OPK? Is its an HPT---thats what my initial BFP looked like--now I'm 6 weeks gone!

ValDante, I think you're preggers!

 

[Aleeah]

Firstly, what an awesome thread!

A little bit about me, I had a natural m/c 8 weeks ago now, and AF is still MIA. I have had some posivite news though, I ovulated last week (OPKs, cm and temp all confirm), so am now in the TWW. I got the go ahead to try again straight away. So here are my symptoms:

1 dpo - No real symptoms apart from boobs getting bigger (probably from ovulation)
2-4 dpo - No symptoms at all, apart from not feeling pregnant
5 dpo - Boobs have continued to grow, got the strongest cramps I've had since m/c, continued cramping for hours. Feel so tired and got a very runny nose.
6dpo - Very constipated, still tired and gassy, still got a runny nose, very irritated with everyone and everything! Tonnes of creamy cm.
7 dpo - Still constipated and still angry about stupid stuff! Still gassy and boobs are still getting fuller.
8 dpo - Still gassy and constipated, feel shattered and a little sad I haven't seen a temp dip yet. So updated: I felt very sick yesterday evening and I ended up throwing up after dinner, I only threw up a little though.
9 dpo - Constipated, painful now. I have creamy cm and my cervix is high soft and closed. Still got a stuffy nose.
10 dpo - Still have a runny nose and weird soreness in pelvis, cramping too. Bleeding gums suddenly (one of my major symptoms last pregnancy) and had a dream one of my friends was pregnant last night, weird!

That's where I'm at ladies, I'll continue to update daily, I'm not likely to test until I use a FRER and holding out until 12 dpo.

Good Luck to all of you, hopefully we'll see lots of green on here soon xx

So I caved and tested 10dpo... as my hubby said, looks like I'm up the duff!!

Good Luck to all you ladies, this thread really is SO useful, it actually helped me to understand which were true symptoms and which were not!

WELL THE SHOWED HER UGLY FACE ON SAT, SO STARTING CYCLE NO 2 NOW, OHWEL AT LEAST I CAN LOOK FORWARD TO OH AND AND .

 

[Kat S]

Hi, Guys! I'm Kat...I'm 41 and am on 9 dpiui. This is IUI #6. I had one miscarriage after IUI #3. This cycle I did a combo of Femara and Gonal-F. I got 3 mature follies at 18mm, which is a great result.

Today is 9 dpiui and I tested today (a little early) to see if the Ovidrel trigger shot was out of my system. Since it contains the hcg hormone that signals hpt to say "pregnant", you have to wait until it's out of your system to test. Anyway, yes, today I got a negative result on a FRER.

Symptoms so far (which could all just be coincidence or fertility drug related):

4 dpiui: I've had white or watery cm. This is interesting because I'm usually dry as a bone until day 8.

5 dpiu: I woke up with my arms asleep. That is interesting because that happened to me a week before I found out I was pregnant before. Also, continued creamy white cm.

6 dpiui: Woke up with arms asleep twice (4:30am and again at 8:15am); woke up at 4:30am with night sweats; mild cramping in evening; little creamy white cm; gas

7 dpiui: Woke up with arms asleep; gas; usual pre-AF symptoms of diarrhea, breast tenderness, and acne totally absent. Forgot to record cm.

8 dpiui: Woke up with right hip and lower back a little achy and it lasted for several hours. I did nothing the day before to account for it. My hips never ache normally. It was gone by noon. Watery cm. Pre-AF symptoms still not appearing.

9 dpiui: No symptoms, but very moody. Absolutely sure I'm out.

10 dpiui: watery, white cm several times from late afternoon to the evening. I thought maybe my period arrived and I ran to the bathroom, but it was just cm. Loose stool (ew, sorry). Negative HPT. Super bad mood.

11 dpiui: negative HPT, loose stool, so tired mid morning that I took a nap. Mood much improved.

12 dpiui: negative hpt. Was hoping for a miracle, but no. I wonder when AF will show? She's usually here by now.

13 dpiui: AF showed at 6am


I know this could all mean nothing. I'm on so many hormones that it could all be from that. Honestly, I don't feel pregnant, but I'm trying like hell to keep a positive mental attitude. I'm testing again tomorrow, so send dust this way.

 

[nikinabox]

Hey ladies... I'm back. Well, sort of. AF just ended and I'm about to go into our 5th cycle of trying. I'm trying to be positive, but this month will be hard because as I said before, the family vacation starts next week, which is also the same time I usually ovulate. Not a lot of time for

So this month will be more relaxed. No OPK kits, no charting, no nothing. It's going to be hard not to go crazy when the time comes to find out, but I have to learn to just take whatever comes. If not this month, then next month... I have to repeat this sentence to myself all the time.

Good luck to the rest of you as well!

 

[Lwmosley]

Hi everyone! I've been following this thread for a while, but haven't had the nerve to post. I'm 27 and have been ttc for about 4 months now. I'm a terrible charter and opk test taker. I never have a truly positive fr opk, so hubs and I kind of just wing it and DTD without really knowing when I ovulate. I stopped bc in jan and it took a little over a month for af to come visit. Since I've had 29-30 day cycles. Af was supposed to come July 12/13. As of today, no af just some brownish discharge for the past 3 days. I took a ept last night and I've attached the fmu from today. What do you think? Be honest. I think I'm definitely seeing things and it won't hurt my feelings if you agree! hah. Any thoughts on the brown discharge and no af?

Hello ladies, I just came across this post. I have been TTC since April. No luck so far. My last af was on June 23rd and is due this Friday on the 19th. I did not use OPKs this month or charting. We just BDed every other day. I am feeling hopeful this month. Below are my symptoms. I assume according to when I normally ovulate, that I am 10dpo.

1-3dpo tired, cramping not like af, headaches vivid dreams
4dpo glob of cream cm, boobs hurt, more tired, worse cramping
5-7dpo creamy cm, back pain, still cramping, headaches, vivid dreams, runny nose, tired all the time
8dpo creamy cm, back pain, boobs and nipples sore, even more tired, runny nose, sore throat, EXTREMELY moody yelled at hubby for stupid reason
9dpo creamy cm, back pain, Overwhelming tired, slept almost all day, boobs hurt bad, still moody as can be, heartburn, insomnia during the night couldn't get comfy but tired, runny nose and itchy nose, no libido, a few vivid dreams
10dpo creamy cm, back pain, still very tired, sore boobs, moody, no libido, runny nose, breathless,

I will keep adding as the days pass. My biggest hope, is how tired I have been. I am never ever this sleepy. My eyes hurt I am so tired. I don't feel sick just worn out. Any opinions?

 

[nolababy1]

Ok, back again for my second month. 1 dpo and no symptoms so far. AF due on the 24th. Fingers crossed for everyone!

1dpo-no symptoms
2dpo-stuffy nose
3dpo-no symptoms
4dpo-no symptoms
5dpo-Sore breasts started in the PM
6dpo-Bs still sore. Vivid dreams about being pregnant-wishful thinking?!
7dpo-Bs still sore.

Just not a whole lot going on this month. Last month I thought I was having all the symptoms and BFN, so maybe no symptoms means BFP?

 

[Littlebirdj]

1 DPO - dizziness in yoga (this could be better explained by having come from Vegas the day before.. and being uhhh *dehydrated*) drink til it's pink club

2 DPO - the start of itchy skin

3 & 4 DPO - more itchy skin, but lotion soothes it. I'm not a dry skin person, so this is new.

5 DPO - a little emotional, itchy skin

6 DPO - feeling totally elated and energetic, fullness in abdomen, fluttery cramps, GAS.

7 DPO - light cramping, suddenly SORE bbs, gas, body acne (YAY. FUN.), didn't want any wine.

8 DPO - cramping continues, sleep pattern off. I didn't want to go to bed which is weird for me, but it was easier to get up? I like sleep. Did not want to finish my after work beer. dumped it out half way.

9 DPO - total butterfingers. dropped keys, got sort of lost on my normal route for lunch, forgetful, constant yawning, sore bbs, itchiness is driving me crazy today, craving fruity juice? And... a BFN (just found a canker sore, I haven't had one for years!)

10 DPO - still very sore boobs, mild backache & spacey feeling. Irritable BFN

11 DPO - symptoms seem minor today except this dumb canker sore. A little jittery right after eating lunch BFN. I assume AF will show this weekend

12 DPO - symptoms continuing to dissipate, AF Due, light pink spotting only when I wipe, BFN

13 DPO - still no AF, moody, BFN

Hi, there!

New to this thread, but I am in the tww and I need some buddies!

I am journaling my symptoms, but thought I'd add them here, too, because this seems like an awesome thread!

I think I ovulated on a certain day, so we'll see. I use OPKs, but I drink a terrible amount of water. I bought a basal thermometer, but had to exchange it and am waiting for the new one to come in.

Here goes...

5 DPO:

-sore boobies (didn't have those the last pregnancy, though)

-cervical mucus (a little lotiony cream stuff and a little *boogery* stuff up near my cervix. Gross much? It is what it is.)

-Pulling twinges near my right ovary with slight pain every now and then (not usual for after ovulation for me)

-a little pulling/ pain to the left, too, at the moment, so I don't know what that is. (the pains feel like when I had a corpus luteum cyst at the February appointment- that could be a good thing! )

-so hungry, so very hungry, but then when I go to eat, I don't really eat much.

6 DPO:

-So, today is pretty much the same as yesterday.

-Adding in a little extreme thirst. I drink 10 glasses of water a day. Don't know how much more I can drink!

-Also, the CM near my cervix is still "snotty" (sorry TMI) in nature, but had a tinge of brownish to a little of it. My cervix was a little more sensitive today, too.

-And last night, I cried during the last part of Orange is the New Black. I don't cry. Orange is the New Black is a funny show- NOT the kind of show that makes you cry!

7 DPO:

-pulling near my right ovary a little today

-pain above right ovary

-CM is still snotty, no more color to it

-grumbly bowels

-nausea this morning. I threw up. (could be the supplements, though. )

-sore boobies

-last night's eating habits are the same today. I want something, make it, and can't eat it. I did eat those brownies with milk last night, though, and I can't wait 'til I can get home so I can have another one!

-I made spaghetti tonight. I usually eat two heaping plates, no lie, but I couldn't even finish one.

-I have been gassy all day today. Not much is happening, but my tummy feels gassy.

-I have this incredibly full feeling. Not fair! I like to eat.

Here's to hoping, right?

Hi all,

As you can see from my ticker I am expecting. But I did write down my symptoms and I promised I would write them here when I got a BFP.
I hope this doesn’t bother anyone. The main reason I wanted to do this was because my AF months and my BFP month symptoms were about the same. Hardly anything different happened. I totally expected an AF. 100% I would have bet my life on it.

CD 19 (about 6 – 7 DPO) - Serious constipation : which accompanies me before AF so nothing special.
CD 21 – took a laxative: LOL totally not a symptom but I wrote that down.
CD 22 – Breasts starting to hurt: Again nothing new…
CD 23 – Took a HPT for fun BFN
CD 24 – Major head ache and AF cramps
CD 26 – BD with DH hurt I think my cervix is low and so definitely getting AF
CD 27 – Tailbone is hurting: Strange… I did bump my back when I was moving furniture so that explains that.
CD28 – Tired and annoyed and just waiting for AF
CD 29 – AF never came and I am 28 days like clockwork. Got a BFP at work during lunch time. I cried. LOL

Other than my tailbone hurting nothing else was different. I had idea and was surprised.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE TTC
