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

[MiracleB]

HI Ladies

I am new to this site and have read post as far back as (I think) 2008 for the past few days. I am sitting here wanting to cry as I am frustrated as I do not know what to think anymore. Here is my story...

After trying for 6 years to fall pregnant (7 IVF's) we adopted 2 boys(last was in 2010). Well my period was a hectic but after being on the pill for a few months I'v had quite regular periods for the past 5 cycles with average of 25 days. Well I am currently on day 29 have done hpt since Friday (all negative) but I have the following symptoms:

Fuller and a bit sensitive (not really sore) boobs but they are itchy.
Tired since last week
but the strangest thing is I have this constant annoying cramping sometimes by whole lower abdomen area (front), sometimes only a stabbing pain in my right side, sometimses at my lower back, sometimes more painfull. I did another HPT this morning on a Clicks Early Detection hpt which was negative. And today I have really bad cramping lower front and back.

I just want to mention that with my first IVF in 2006 (had MC @ 8weeks) they did blood works that came back with 394 count but hpt was still negative. How is that possible???
and the BIG QUESTION
is it still to early to do HPT or is it a shut case - I am not pregnant

Desperate for someone else's opinions

Forgot to say I also need to go to the loo a lot more often, doesn't really have an appetite and have on of cramping in arm and hand.

Awwwwh yes, at least your moving forward and will get some answers. Wish I could go back to the days of not having this worry and being care free. During the 2ww it's all I think about. I think I imagine symptoms too. I've had tummy aches, back ache & dizziness when I stand up. Im also bloated. I do get bad af pains, but not until just before she is here. In my first pregnancy 10 years ago, I knew I was pregnant because I had sore boobs. I haven't had sore boobs yet, which is making me doubtful.

It's horrid how af symptoms are so similar to pregnancy symptoms. I always get sore boobs before af, yet every month....I think 'This is it!'
And it never is Xx

When I was pg with my little girl my bbs were sooooo sore, felt like I had bruised them.... I never get sore bbs not even during or before AF so I always think in the back of my head 'I can't be pg as my bbs don't hurt!' However I think all pregnancies are different so there is hope!!!!

hi everyone! hope I can join too! :wave:

here are my symptoms so far (only my first month trying )

1dpo: not much, maybe a bit bloated, a bit of clear watery cm
2dpo: gassy, dizzy
3dpo: pulling feeling in uterus, bloated, gassy
4dpo: twinges on left side, sensitive nipples, bloated

7dpo: sore nipples, very bloated, dizzy spells. I think my veins in my chest are more apparent, lots of creamy cm


also, since last night, I noticed bumps on my areola?? looked it up and could be Montgomery's tubercules which apparently is a preggo symptom!
will keep updating everyday and Im planning on holding out testing until AF is due on the 30th but I might cave before

Just wanted to let you know I got my BFP yesterday, and the first symptom I noticed was that my breasts were very itchy! They have remained this way on and off, and my skin in general feels drier and itchier than normal. Is there any chance you have an idea of when you ovulated? If so, countdown to pregnancy's website has a great resource - they break down statistically the results of HPTs that pregnant women took by their DPO. So, basically they can say at 10 DPO, 40% of pregnant women got a BFN, etc. If you don't know when you O'd it can still be a good resource. Keeping my FX for you!

Ashlee-

Maybe she's not... if she is next month. It's gotta be the month.

added today's symptoms, not much to report, I dont feel pregnant today since no more cramps or bloating

 

[AlbaNY]

I told myself I wouldn't do this again, but here I am!

This cycle I had far fewer symptoms to note since O, but I had a big dip today leaving me really hopeful, so...

1DPO -hot flashes all day, tender BBs
2DPO -watery CM
3DPO -exhausted and napped in afternoon
4DPO -a lot of watery CM, exhausted and slept almost 14 hours total
5DPO -tender BBs
6DPO -nausea and threw up a few times in morning, more napping
7DPO -sore BBs, slight cramp feeling low in the middle (maybe GI though?) almost 6tenths drop in temp from yesterday to 97.33, well below cover line. Hoping it will end up being an implantation dip! (A few hours later I'm up to 98.34)


We did a lot of BD at the right time, so I hope... although next week we see another doctor about DF's low sperm count. We were told he had "less than two" in the SA.

Omg, I am really excited now, because I starting having slight cramping in the late afternoon and now at midnight have pink spotting with a couple tiny specks of red!

Today, 10 DPO, I still don't know what to think. I don't want to keep my hopes up, but things are strange. Either I am pregnant or something like cysts must be screwing up my cycles yet again. Tests are negative.

Since I last noted, at 7DPO, I have still been spotting. It turned red but not heavy yesterday. Today it was done, until there was bright red when I wiped at four thirty. Since then nothing again.
I've still been sleeping and napping crazy amounts yet still feel sleepy.

10dpo -a little spotting a couple of times in the day when wiping. Nothing else.
11dpo -some twinges and pulling feelings, bloating, some cramping/backache. Just a little spotting when wiping a couple of times in the day (not every.)

Today is 12dpo.
No spotting. No anything so far. Negative test, and today is when I should expect AF. Eta: I thought of one thing to add, since yesterday my nose has been pretty stuffy.

17DPO- temp up to 98.80 again, but thinking it may have to do with poor sleep due to gas pains and aching and twinges in my uterus and cervix. The pulling and aching pains last all day. Cervix is still high and closed but more medium than firm. Dumped a whole bowl of cereal because one bite made me want to puke, then choked down a salad at lunch even though it didn't taste good

 

[Mimi85]

asmcsm thats great!

so excited for you to test !
