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

[NayyimaNiyyaz]

Hi all..me and DH have been TTC since our wedding in Dec 2011 and during my first year of TTC i was obsessed with tracking and following forums and googling but eventually it got really depressing tracking all my symptoms and still have no results. Since my wedding i have been working part time as a MUA for brides and to date,some of my brides have had their babies n some are preggers so since the start of 2013, in my 2nd year of TTC I have been "trying but not trying". What Im still doing tho is google some weird symptoms I have had.. this month i just felt like sharing.. whatever happens, i will keep a positive mindset..

As I did not keep track (that much..hehe) mine wont be as detailed.. plus i also forgot when some of the things/symptoms came up ..been so forgetful lately. I call myself Dory sometimes..

Brief health background : diagnosed with Endometriosis in 2010 after a keyhole cystectomy. before then my AF cramps were torturous! cramps are much much better now as compared to before and cycles went back to normal after it went haywired due to BCP so i stopped ard 8months before my wedding.

I have a 23-28 days cycle but past few months it has been consistent at 25 days

CD1 on 8July
O day : according to Period Diary calc, O is on CD12 (July 19 but i felt some O pain between CD10-11. Not so bad as compared to other O pains ive felt. Also, it seemed to switch sides on CD11 or 12..so im not really sure when i actually O-ed. Im just gonna take it as CD12 (July 19)

1dpo - 3dpo : i think i felt some light cramping somewhere here

4dpo-6po : had unexplainable diarrhea plus some cramping.. not so bad. There was also a time where i spotted right after bd but i think it was becos of a cut somewhere and DH was quite rough that night (sorry tmi). I also had UTI the following day but I had some packs of citravescent in hand (i tend to get UTIs a lot) and it went away after i drank.

7dpo - 8dpo : not much that i noticed

9po (Today!) : diarrhea and SEVERE cramping just like my cramps before my cystectomy! i cried and screamed in the toilet. Loose stools followed by mushy followed by watery (sorry tmi) and then i guess there's nothing left to throw out so i stopped having to go back n forth to the toilet. BUT the cramping is still here..as im typing this! Plus : the diarrhea drama started at ard 5am til close to 6am and i rested on my bed and eventually feel asleep but when i woke up at ard 9am, i was nauseous and i felt like i had heartburn. Ive nvr had heartburn b4 so i dont really know how it feels like. ive googled before but what i felt this morning, the burning sensation was not so strong. My chest felt "heavy" but with only some slight burning sensation. Apart from the ongoing cramping and nausea (on and off) im also gassy.. I hope what i have today is not gastroenteritis..had it before but then it did not include the severe and ongoing cramping. So i really dont know what to make out of today's episode!

AF is due on 2nd aug. So i guess only time will tell. I have not noticed sore bbs except on a few occasions. None today. Dizziness and nausea quite frequent but it seems like for the past few months i always dizzy and nauseous.

Will update if i have any clear symptoms in the coming days.... to everyone : and

Ooops.. for got to add the very clear shooting pains i felt on my cervix mostly on the right and then on a few occasions, on the left. Plus pelvic pains that went on for a few hourse on and off. I think this was 7dpo-8dpo.. i think!. *Dory mode*

Plus ive also been having lower back pain everyday after i wake up since i dont know when but figured it could prolly b becos of the way i sleep but the lower back aches are also around everytime (during this cycle) i have the crampings. which includes today.

Update (31 july)
What ive noticed past few days since i last updated were slightly sore bbs, some mild dull cramping, some twinges here and there. There was one or 2 days where i was so emo but didnt know whether it was because i was hungry all day or was just being emo.

2 more days to AF due >.<

Hi all just storking the thread. I'm on 3dpo so will be adding mine in two weeks

 

[Starplan123]

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

BFN this morning

Now 1 week late, I have a dull achy feeling in lower belly. Abit like period pain but very very mild?
Last night I also had loose stools and diarrhoea last night. ??

Any idea's?

 

[AlbaNY]

Starplan, I am four days late and feeling similarly with pains and cramps and stuff. I'm planning to call my doctor on Monday to schedule an appointment. Maybe you should go for a blood test? If I was a whole week late with no answers I'd be a mess.
My fingers are crossed for you!

 

[AlbaNY]

Asmcsm, still looking good! How late are you?

3 days late.

Lots of luck!

 

[Mimi85]

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
5dpo: sore nipples, cramps, irritable, vivid dreams
6dpo: bleeding gums, very sore nipples, tired, could not fall asleep, creamy cm
7dpo: sore nipples, very bloated, dizzy spells. I think my veins in my chest are more apparent, lots of creamy cm
8dpo: could not sleep again last night, nipples still sore, moodiness, lots of creamy cm
9dpo: still lots of creamy cm, cervix is low, closed and firm. nipples a bit sore, sleeplessness
10dpo: sore nipples, creamy cm, cervix mid-high closed and firm. certain foods taste funny
11dpo: very little cm and dry, cp is high somewhat hard and closed, nipples still sore
12dpo: same as 11dpo, very tired today, headache

tested on a FRER this am and BFN guessing the witch will show in the next 2 days

 

[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)
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!
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.)
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. 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 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.
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.
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.

16dpo -DF insists my BBs are a bit bigger. Some pangs. Not much. Cervix high and soft.

17dpo today -cramped and sore inside (it seems to be from BD last night. My cervix hurts.) Lower temp, but no sign of AF when checking cervix. Feeling a bit nauseous this morning. Cervix still soft and high. A little nipple burning at times.

I'll see the doctor on Thursday. BFN this morning, and I'm out of the cheapie tests. I plan to buy some from a pharmacy today.

 

[nikinabox]

anddddd I'm back...

Because DH and I went on a family vacation this past week, I wasn't able to take OPKs or chart or anything like that. So I'll be updating under the assumption that I ovulated on the 25th or 26th of this month (CD16-CD17). I assume this based on past cycles, calendar & calculator predictions, and the slight cramps and tender BBs that started that day...

I was really thinking that I was out this month before we even started, but DH and I were quite active during my most fertile week... so we're officially in the tww

With that said, that would put me at about 3 dpo right now, so naturally I have no symptoms as of yet, but once I get to about 6-8 dpo, I'll start posting my notes for each day.

Just wanted to pop in, update everyone, and wish you all luck and fairy dust!

[nikinabox]

Sounds confusing! But don't get down on yourself until AF shows her face. Your chart looks great - so hopefully you'll get your BFP!

 

[Leiaza]

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

I actually had spotting a week before my period was due with my daughter the only reason I thought I was pregnant at all was because my fiance kept staring at my chest and saying they were getting huge. Didn't get a positive with her till i was 7 weeks

 

[missaria]

BFN this morning

Now 1 week late, I have a dull achy feeling in lower belly. Abit like period pain but very very mild?
Last night I also had loose stools and diarrhoea last night. ??

Any idea's?

Drs booked for tomorrow, Wednesday, as still no AF. Now 1 week and 2 days late.

Still have really mild dull achy feeling in tummy but comes and goes now.

Hopefully Dr will have some answers.

to everyone!! Xx

Sorry for this, but can't seem to figure it out and I'm new here! How do I edit/update my post? I can't see an edit button anywhere. TIA!
