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

[asmcsm]

asmcsm thats great!

so excited for you to test !

Thanks! I'm tempted to test, but I'm going to try and wait until Saturday just in case AF does end up coming. Don't want to see any more BFNs

 

[Munnchkin]

Hi ladies! I'm just stalking the thread. I'm also going to try to hold out to test this Saturday. Wishing everyone luck!

 

[SweetV]

What an awesome thread.

My symptoms as I remember them

6DPO slept all day long, couldn't eat
7DPO still exhausted, af like cramps for about an hour
8DPO barely keep my eyes open at work, had to apologize to my boss, cramps, bloating
9DPO constipated, hungry throughout the day but can only eat little bits, bit more energetic
10DPO still constipated, bloated (from constipation?), very full feeling heartburn, exhaustion
11DPO still bloated, full, have managed to go to the bathroom a little bit but still very constipated (sorry if tmi), exhausted but restless (...it's 2am...) due to heartburn
thinking of testing again in the morning at 12DPO. July marks 8 months of TTC after a m/c in 2011 (8 weeks) and mmc in 2012 (12 weeks). Fingers crossed, although no boob tenderness this is very unusual before (good sign?!)

12DPO :BFN:

14 DPO af right on time

I've read a few posts of BFP's where people have had constipation...So fingers crossed. All your symptoms look good

I'm around 12DPO, witch due on Sunday & I also have no boon tenderness which is very unusual for me

I've tested the past 3 days and got BFN' s

Just gonna wait now......I hate this wait

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.

Today AF is overdue by a second day. O.O

Adding to 12dpo -pulling/pinching feeling every so often in abdomen especially if I stretch a little bit (like lifting my arms whilst changing a shirt.) Nipples more noticeable than usual, kind of tender. No spotting at all.
13dpo -officially late!! Smudges of slight brown every so often today when wiping. Weird pangs in vagina and abdomen. Not really cramps but aching in abdomen, sides, and back. Can't really reach my cervix, but it feels closed and softer than expected, from what I could reach. Clearish, sticky, egg whitish, slightly brown CM. Boobs started to hurt Very noticeably... The nipples!
14dpo -AF MIA two days today. Mild cramp/ache throughout abdomen and lower back. Nipples sensitive. Cervix high and not hard. White, lotion like, watery CM.

Today we see the specialist about DF's low sperm count. I wonder if he can order a blood test for me? We are going pretty crazy. DF keeps asking me to pee on sticks, but they are all negative.

good luck with the doctor Albany! symptoms sound good

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

[AlbaNY]

Thank you, Mimi85. By now I'm starting to think I really could be, but then I think of how hopeful I get every month... :sigh:

 

[AlbaNY]

Asmcsm, your symptoms and timeline look really good!

 

[Rhiannon137]

I am 34 and this was my fourth cycle since starting to NTNP for 1st baby coming off BCP (Ortho Tricyclen, on it for 19 YEARS STRAIGHT!!). Based on surprising cycle regularity and CM observation, and I think I O'd on 7/11, which would have been CD13. Might have been one day later, though.

1-9 DPO: Nothing. Not one single thing out the ordinary.
10 DPO: This is about when my face has been doing a horrible PMS breakout routine since coming off the pill, but it did not happen this cycle. Nothing else.
11 DPO: Still no breakouts. Had some strong intestinal cramping while working out followed by an isolated but intense bout of diarrhea. Who knows if that was in any way related?
12-13 DPO: Still no breakouts. Slightly sore boobs, but no more than I usually get before AF.
14 DPO: One day before I would have expected AF. Woke up with really sore boobs, and just an strong impulse to test. Obvious BFP on an FRER.

So...for everyone who's feeling nothing, it could be good sign! Here's to hoping this sticks.

 

[Cristeena]

[xanzaba]

Okay here goes, currently 13 dpo- luteal phase normally 15-16 days...

5dpo- woke up with sore throat

6dpo- throat still sore, no other symptoms

7dpo- weird, never had sore throat without runny nose, etc

8dpo- sore throat

9dpo- sore throat not getting better, then at night had weird cramps. Felt like I had to run to bathroom (and I mean RUN), but then, nothing. Woke up middle of night with raw throat and had to run to bathroom. Again nothing.

10dpo- woke up with no voice, throat still raw, advised to go get it checked for strep. Negative strep test, no fever. Odd, never had such a bad throat without any other cold symptoms. DH beginning to wonder... Then twingey pains. Started taking more vitamin C

11dpo- woke up with no voice, raw scratchy throat (?!?!!!!!) Twingey pains continue.

12dpo- no voice, raw scratchy throat plus twingey, stabbing pains. Definitely not like AF pains. Occasional stabbing pains in chest, but no sore bbs. Washed sheets yesterday and couldn't stand the smell of the fabric softener. Removed pillow case and forced husband to remove pillow case.

13dpo- spotting (implantation bleeding?) Would be very early for AF...


Want to test soon but hate those BFNs

14dpo -AF MIA two days today. Mild cramp/ache throughout abdomen and lower back. Nipples sensitive. Cervix high and soft. White, lotion like, watery CM. Today we see the specialist about DF's low sperm count. I wonder if he can order a blood test for me? We are going pretty crazy. DF keeps asking me to pee on sticks, but they are all negative.

Yesterday, 14dpo and two days late for AF, at some point in the afternoon my nipples were burning, especially the left. I also had increasing crampiness from my navel down... The whole section of torso back and front. It sucked.

Today, 15dpo, and I still test negative. Grrr. I have the same cramp like uncomfortable feeling in my entire abdomen. Which, btw, seems to basically go away if I am standing or walking. Laying down or sitting is so uncomfortable.
I can hardly reach my cervix, and it is soft. I read that the position shouldn't be used as an indicator of pregnancy, but I do find it interesting that it is not low and hard for AF.

I tried making an appointment with my obgyn, but the entire office is on holiday until Monday. Next week I am going even though it is a four hour drive and out of pocket, because the complex cyst they were going to remove might be doing all this... Or pregnant, I hope. I'd love to get a BFP so I could stop feeling crazy.

Asmcsm, still looking good! How late are you?

3 days late.

Hello
I am new to this so bare with me please, I only know some of your lingo
I've read quite a few of the threads on this and thought you's may be able to help.
I had the Implanon in for 5 years (two separate ones) and now me and my partner have decided to try.
I had the implanon out end of march and I have had 3 AFs since.
I have no idea about working out when I Ovulate or anything and me and my partner decided to do it by "if it it happens, it happens" kind of way rather than counting dates etc.
the two first AF were 34 days apart, both lasting 4 days each. My third was only 32 days and only 2 days, it was also lighter then the other 2.

I can't list my symptoms day by day I'm afraid as I have no idea what started when.

My AF this month I worked out should have been around the 21st July. But nothing.

Usually I have sore BBs around 1 week before but didn't.
The first thing I noticed was extreme bloated ness! It was uncomfortable, but I was still going to the loo normal so wasn't constipation.
Feeling sick on and off and dizzy came next, but haven't had any of that the past couple of days, still bloated however.
I was getting on and off cramps but they have also stopped.
The day I was due on, 21st, I kept having to go to the loo as it felt very "wet" (sorry if tmi) and if my AF was coming but it was just like watery discharge? Almost like egg white?
That stayed for a few days and had to keep checking.
Now it's seem to be very wet down there, to the point my underwear is damp.
I've been getting regular mild headaches for the past week and I seem to have a loss in appetite? I can be absolutely starving and get half way through my dinner and physically can't eat any more?

I guess really I'm just looking for a second opinion? I've done two HPT, one on 22nd and one on 23rd and both BFN I have another for tomorrow morning, as then will be 1 week late. But worried it'll be another BFN. What do you's think?

Sorry about how big this is, tried to cover everything.

Also, asmcsm, good luck! Fingers crossed for you, I've read all your threads!

Thanks xx

I went through the same thing after my mmc last year, everything returned to normal for a few months and then AF didn't show. All the signs were there to suggest pregnancy and for a month BFN. OB stated it was just hormones out of wack and it was a sign my body wasn't ready yet. I was heart broken. Next month she showed as scheduled and we have been actively trying since.
I sympathize. to you!

 

[Teeny]

8dpo, gassy. moody, some mild cramping in am.
