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

[brunettebimbo]

Hi Everyone. Just jumping in and hoping to turn my text green and not red

I've no idea where I am in regards to DPO. I haven't had a positive OPK but I didn't when I conceived my son either.

I'm on CD38. Usually 28-32 days.

So far I've had -

*Waves of nausea
*Heartburn
*Tender boobs but only in the last 2 days
*Stabbing type cramps
*Spotting CD15 and CD20 (Never happened before)
*Diarrhoea
*Cramps
*Dizziness (Doctor diagnosed Labrynthitis)
*Bloated
*Increased Appetite
*Constipation
*Gassy
*Sore Throat
*Irritable
*Insomnia
*Tearful
*Horrible taste in mouth
*Bleeding gums

These have been on and off since CD15

Since CD31 my CM has been creamy and cervix has been High, Medium and Closed since CD33 was High, Firm and closed CD31-32

Temperature on CD36 was 36.60 then CD37 it went to 36.86 then CD38 it went to 36.99. I'm not sure if temperatures are relevant or not?

Update -


CD39 I have experienced -

*Heartburn
*Extremely tired although had a late night
*Off food.
* felt uncomfortable
*BFN on IC

My temperature has risen again to 37.09 and my cervix is High, Firm and Closed.


CD40 - Woke dizzy and feeling slightly nauseous. I have a bit of backache. I'm not in a good place emotionally today. I have never in my life had a cycle this long I'm just hoping and praying that a BFP is behind it!

Temperature has dipped to 36.83. Cervix is High, Firm and Closed. CM is creamy with a little bit of cloudy EWCM.

Sore throat towards the end of the day and boobs sore behind my nipples.

CD41 - Woke dizzy. Tossed and turned all night. Took a Superdrug test - BFN.
Cervix is High, Firm and Closed with creamy CM. Temperature risen to 36.87.
Towards the end of the day I had a sore throat, sore boobs and I feel like I'm going to get thrush Bloated, my clothes feel tight but that could be down to my greediness!

CD42 - Woke with a sore throat and a bit of a runny nose. Cervix is High, Firm and Closed. Temperature has risen again to 36.95. CM is creamy.

Sore throat and runny nose has gone already. Boobs are really sore. Having some sort of cramping, not painful but I know they are there.

Joining in here to keep track of symptoms.
I'm after MC, and since the week after the Mc until today I've been having symptoms. So here goes!

1dpo- Nausea, sharp pelvic pain/pubic bone, fatigue, elevated temp in evening
2dpo- Nausea, sharp pelvic pain/pubic bone, migraine, elevated temp in evening
3dpo- Cramps, Pelvic pain, creamy/watery CM, tired, headache
4dpo- Sharp pains on both sides, fatigue, elevated temp in evening, creamy/increased CM
5dpo- Cramps:sharp pains on sides, fatigue, creamy/increased CM, very light AF cramps here and there, regular temps in evening

6dpo- nothing much. creamy yellowish CM. Elevated temps in evening, very dull AF cramps scattered throughout the day
7dpo- dip in morning temps. Nausea, pelvic pain, creamy CM, overall sluggish feeling

8dpo- I couldn't sleep last night. bloated tummy and nausea. Also a neighbor upstairs decided to work out at about 1pm and we heard the "boom boom" of the training machine for about an hour +.
I definitely had 3 hours of sleep prior to my waking though- elevated temps in morning. Major migraine- dizziness, blurred vision. Day 3 of headache. Slight cramps every now and then. Wet/creamy CM. High firm CP.

9dpo- nausea, bloating, extremely wet/creamy down there, normal temps in evening.
The other day I noticed "spots" on my breasts. I asked DH if I always had them and he said yes, but now they're noticeable and more. I didn't think much of it, but later noticed this as a very early pregnancy symptom- montgomery tubercles. Last night I noticed them again, but slightly lighter.
Acne breakout. I usually have a spot here and there before AF, but right now it's ridicules. I feel like I'm in high school again. AF is due next Monday/Tuesday, so I'm not sure what to make of it.
Extreme bloating during the night. I wake up at night from my stomach being so sore from bloating, I can't sleep on my side of stomach! I thought it might be because I didn't have a BM, but I had one the other day- TMI- but everything got out.
I took some benefiber last night, might work. I woke up this morning bloatless. It gets worse through out the day though.

10dpo- nausea, light cramps here and there, acne breakout, those spots on my breasts. I seriously just want to throw up on desk and then go to sleep.

I've also been having these weird sensations in my stomach. Previous pregnancy I got the gurgles, but that was at about 14dpo when I already got a BFP. These past few days I've got a sort of "scratching" feeling every now and then inside. It's so weird.

Finally far enough along to post my notes

I typically have a 30 day cycle (give or take a few days) and am not sure when I ovulated this month, so based on ov symptoms and cm around the usual time, I made an educated guess as to what dpo I am...

1-2DPO: Nothing aside from horrible acne breakouts which have been happening throughout this cycle since my "ov" day.

3DPO: slight cramps on right lower abdomen, increased sex drive, slight nausea at night but nothing serious, gassy, creamy CM. Craving milk like crazy even though im lactose intolerant.

4DPO: vivid dream, woke up with headache, exhausted, nauseous, creamy cm, increased sex drive, big pimple forming which is normal for AF, but usually doesn't happen for another week. More milk cravings. More urgency to pee.

5DPO: vivid dream, BBs feel heavy/full, nauseous and light headed, AF like cramps and it's shooting down my leg, completely exhausted (falling asleep at my desk at work), BBs starting to feel tender, cranky, more milk cravings, gassy, creamy cm, pulling/pain on right and left sides, nauseous before bed.

6DPO: vivid dream, again. nauseous when waking up, af cramps in the morning, "bubbly guts", lower belly feels heavy - hard to describe, lots of watery CM, af-like cramps again, easily crying, easily irritated/set off, BBs very sore and full, tiny bit of brown color in EWCM - implantation bleeding? I don't know.

7DPO: yet another vivid dream, BBs still tender and full, extremely nauseous - had to eat a plain piece of bread to calm my stomach, lethargic, so cranky and irrational, almost crying at everything and fighting with DH. Brown spotting/yellow-ish CM, AF like cramps, tender/full BBs.

8DPO: 2 vivid dreams last night (woke up in the middle of the night), BBs still very tender, AF like cramps, nauseous, stuffed up/sore throat. I feel like I'm getting sick... yet ANOTHER vivid dream during a nap I had because I was completely exhausted, more AF like cramps at night, lots of wet CM (a little creamy as well), nauseous while laying down to go to bed.

9DPO: ANOTHER vivid dream... I dream sometimes, but this is getting crazy. BBs still sore/full, but not nearly as bad, gums were bleeding a lot, they do on occasion, but this was a lot... nauseous and light headed, slight headache, slight AF-like cramps, belly feels "full"? like I'm going to get AF or something, sharp pains on left side, wet cm, nauseous. I noticed before bed that boobs don't hurt as much and don't feel quite as full, so I'm starting to feel "out" this month, although nips are slightly sensitive.

10DPO: (This morning) Vivid dream - shocking right? I caved, and took a test, BFN. I was so emotional about it. I know it's early, but I was sure that I was pregnant, so I'm feeling very down today. BBs still tender, but not as sore still, strong AF cramps in the morning and I feel like AF is going to show up any day now , tickle in throat/sick/cold feeling - I can't stop clearing my throat and dry coughing - stuffy nose. SO cranky today, everyone is driving me crazy.

That's it so far for me... I'll update as I go along. I'm supposed to get my period either the 9th, 10th, or 11th (so frustrated that I'm not sure when I O'd because it makes it difficult to keep track of)...

Any thoughts?

Update for today 10DPO:
I just noticed pink spotting??? I'm really hoping this is some weirdo version of implantation bleeding, and not AF... that would make AF 5 days early if it is, so it doesn't make sense.

To finish off the rest of 10DPO: my pink spotting completely disappeared, my sore throat became even worse as the night went on, was sure that I was getting sick... on top of that AF-like cramps happened, I was nauseous and getting hot flashes... right before bed I went to the bathroom to find brown spotting. I was devastated and very emotional... and obviously exhausted, so I went to bed.

Today 11DPO (so far): I was about 99.99% sure that I was going to wake up to AF. She loves to arrive in the morning... but nothing. Not at all... and I still have AF cramps. So now I'm at work going to the bathroom every 5 minutes to check. No idea what to think at this point... I'm still scared that AF is going to show up

The rest of yesterday (11 DPO) I had brown spotting on and off all day so I knew I was out....

Today (12 DPO): BFN, shortly after my morning shower, AF arrived - I'm out. I must have been later than I guessed that I was.

How do we get through this? Not to sound too melodramatic, but seriously? With the exception of my careless counting this month, I've been so on top of this, doing all that I can. I get that we only really get a 20% chance each month... and I get that failure isn't the end of the world while TTC for the first time if it's under a year. But I just feel so low this month... previous months I've been more positive and ready for the next cycle, but this month I just feel defeated. I thought this was it for us... I've been wanting to be a mother since I was a little girl, as I'm sure most of you have to.

It's so defeating... I'm going to turn my original post red after I write this. I'm going to take a break from symptom hunting because I think it almost makes this more difficult. Good luck to all of you TTC, and I hope that you all get the BFPs you so greatly deserve

I'm sorry Hun
Can I ask how long you've been trying for? It is frustrating that there's only a 20% chance each month! With numbers like that it's amazing we can even conceive :/

I'm so sorry hun, I know it hurts however it just gives you some insight into the symptom spotting. I know what I want as an outcome...however I won't get myself so worked up over all these symptoms because I've done it before. All I'm trying to do now is keep track of the unusual symptoms so that is AF does come and destroy my dreams- ill have notes to compare my next cycle with and not get all worked up. Take it easy and do something to de-stress yourself. Maybe the next cycle will bring you the news you want!

Hi Everyone. Just jumping in and hoping to turn my text green and not red

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?

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

So results are in from blood test on Wednesday and its BFN!!

So now 1 week and 5 days late, not pregnant so making it, currently, a 45 day cycle!! Still no signs of AF.

Everything I 'thought' I was feeling apparently was in my head.

Appointment with my Dr next week to find out what's going on because I am definitely still bloated and hardly eating! But why? That's what I want to know. And why hasn't AF showed her face?

Feeling VERY humph at the minute!

Thought I would give you's an update.

So I am currently on Day 57 of my cycle and getting extreeeemely annoyed with it. For as long as my AF doesn't come, the longer I have to wait for TTC.

I'm constantly tired and very emotional, my poor DP doesn't know what to do with himself.

The BFN on day 43 I could live with. But now still no AF. Never thought there would be a day I wished my AF would come.

I'm still bloated, have on and off headaches and I am ALWAYS tired. I can't seem to leave the house without breakfast, and I am not a breakfast person but if I don't, I am so hungry by the time I get to work I end up eating a ridiculous amount of biscuits at my desk.

I really hope my dr on Tuesday is going to have some answers because not sure how much more I can take.

Me and DP were taking a laid back approach to TTC but we (when I say "we" I clearly mean "I") am really struggling with not thinking about it at the moment.

Humph!

So good to read on here though all the good signs for everyone!

 

[SapphireStace]

I'm new to this site. Glad to see soo many BFP in this thread. It keeps me hopeful.
I'm going to join by adding my symptoms.
Positive OPK 7/26- CD20. We DTD every other day from CD14 thru CD18 then every night thru 7/28.

1-3dpo cramping, feeling bloated.
4dpo- same as above plus twinges in pelvic area & hot flashes. Watery cm
5dpo- tired, emotional, cranky, crampy, bloatyed, gassy.
6dpo- same as above + headache, moody & (tmi) constipated... Could be the cramp ones I'm still feeling.
Also still feeling weird twinges, kinda of like when AF is here. She's not due for a week or more (irregular cycles ranging from 28-45 days tho)
7dpo- heavy feeling/bloated, hot flashes, headache, crampy/gassy, creamy cm, cp low/hardish
8dpo- still heavy/ bloated feeling. Decreased appetite, super thirsty, headache.
Not much cm. low semi soft cp. Last night got a charley horse in my right leg haven't had one of those in yrs! Restless sleep, sharp pains.
9-10dpo- crampy, gassy, tired, moody. Headache, woke up with a runny nose. Achy hips/back. Still no appetite. Moody- little things bugging me today. Tossed and turned all night.
11dpo- (today 8/6). I caved and tested early this morning. Not surprised. Got a but still no sign of Still achy and not hungry. And can't tell if metformin is causing my Lack of appetite and gas pains or if its cramps. My cycles are irregular so I'm not surprised she hasn't shown yet. Didn't sleep well last night either. Dull feeling of something down there. Not painful just present. Had a few twinges on left side. Itchy nipples?
12dpo- AM took FRER HPT = Still no sign of AF. Heartburn and another restless night last night. Having that heavy feeling again, not that it ever really went away. Pains on left side. (But Ovulated from RT this time)

Feeling less hopeful... Another but no in site.... Yet. Didn't have any spotting bit I also know not everyone gets Implantation bleeding.

 

[Lucky83]

Ohhhh I LOVE this idea! My turn my turn! I don't have too much in the way of symptoms just yet, however I'll throw them out! I don't like to spot them because then excitement builds so I will realistically only put out the things that are clearly noticed. By the way- when I was pregnant with my daughter Layla...I never even knew I was pregnant until I was in the 3rd month. No symptoms! Shortly after however- morning sickness hit me.

AF is due on August 14th-10 more days!

1 DPO: Nothing...still lots of CM (BD' again hehe)
2 DPO: Nothing..." " " " " Gassy
3 DPO: Noticed some specks of blood in CM...Gassy
4 DPO: Tired...always feel "wet" though I am not...cervix moved up
5 DPO: CM is drying up...but still feel "wet"...cervix is high and closed
6 DPO: Low back pain (yikes!), sore throat, very little CM, cervix is high and closed, uterine twinges, *HEADACHE as of now....UGHHHHH* FYI- that headache stuck around for 5 hours
7 DPO: Mild low back pain, still sore throat, cervix high-firm-closed, no CM


To be continued...

*Adding to today: 7DPO and for the past few hours I've noticed that the "nether region" downstairs is highly sensitive? Not sure how to explain or express it, but I feel blood flow. Never noticed this as a sign before. Additionally I am NOT a breakfast person and usually always wait to have a late lunch or dinner. Today my appetite was higher and I was extremely hungry, therefore ate breakfast though it's unusual. Just thought to toss that in there so in case I AM symptom spotting, I can remind myself of these things next month

If this doesn't stick then next month I will be charting for the first time ever! I have an account with Fertility Friend now on my phone and only took temps yesterday and today and they were 98.7 and 98.4

8 DPO: Never thought I'd be excited about a stuffy nose but I am! Uterine twinges and still that very sensitive feeling like all the blood is pumping down there! Dull aches in uterous and low back that sometimes run into my thighs. Cervix is high- closed- firm, and CM returned a bit- light and color is clear/white and stretchy. *usually by now I have sore BB's and more pain in my ovaries which cripples me. I'm hoping it holds out because then I may have a chance at this month. The only thing that told me something was "off" when I got pregnant with my daughter 5 years ago was the lack of ovarian cyst pain which is almost all the time. Checking my cervix shows that its still high- very firm- closed and it seems to have grown in circumference and in height. Maybe my hormones are out of wack again this month.

9 DPO: Ugh...just UGH. But a happy UGH. I have been so nauseous! My lower stomach is bloated, gassy, uterus area feels full and heavy. Still having that feeling of sensitivity but it has diminished somewhat. Still no ovarian cyst pain which is awesome. CM is relatively very light and white/white in color. Let's see, BAD back pain which is usually attributed to my ovarian cysts but still nothing from them. My nipples, just those are sore and sensitive. I don't have much feeling in them since breastfeeding my kids all those years ago. They chewed on the nerves lol. So this new feeling is promising. Cervix is high, closed, firm.

10 DPO: Still nauseous, still no ovarian cysts, LOTS of back pain, LOTS of muscle spasms in my thighs and calves, cervix is still high and closed and firm, very little CM but when its there it is stretchy and white/clear. Sensitive nipples (which isn't my thing) very bloated and uncomfortable. No signs of AF- I can see signs of it up to 6 days before. I am due between the 12th-14th. Not sure because my period came a couple days late last month and it was originally due the 12th. I still ovulated real early I am expecting it more around the 12th.

11 DPO: Same symptoms as other days. Back
Pain is terrible. Sore BB's and sensitive nipples. Dull aching in uterus. Having this feeling that I will be out this month. I had this back pain when I had a chemical pregnancy as well. Time will tell...I don't think I'll bother testing and just wait for AF to show. I'll get all disappointed.


12 DPO: Sore bbs, very light ache in uterus, lots of back pain which is really annoying me. Insomnia kinda sucks! Oh and I woke up with heart burn. It went away and then a while later I drank some coffee and got it back again. Took a test that was A BUM test- didn't even show the control indicator line! I'll wait until AF is actually late before testing again.

13 DPO: Was nauseous this morning. Mild full aching. No other changes. Took a test and it was BFN... Just waiting for AF to show

14 DPO: still waiting for AF. Just extremely extremely bloated. No nausea. High appetite. Acne attack.

I'm new to this site. Glad to see soo many BFP in this thread. It keeps me hopeful.
I'm going to join by adding my symptoms.
Positive OPK 7/26- CD20. We DTD every other day from CD14 thru CD18 then every night thru 7/28.

1-3dpo cramping, feeling bloated.
4dpo- same as above plus twinges in pelvic area & hot flashes. Watery cm
5dpo- tired, emotional, cranky, crampy, bloatyed, gassy.
6dpo- same as above + headache, moody & (tmi) constipated... Could be the cramp ones I'm still feeling.
Also still feeling weird twinges, kinda of like when AF is here. She's not due for a week or more (irregular cycles ranging from 28-45 days tho)
7dpo- heavy feeling/bloated, hot flashes, headache, crampy/gassy, creamy cm, cp low/hardish
8dpo- still heavy/ bloated feeling. Decreased appetite, super thirsty, headache.
Not much cm. low semi soft cp. Last night got a charley horse in my right leg haven't had one of those in yrs! Restless sleep, sharp pains.
9-10dpo- crampy, gassy, tired, moody. Headache, woke up with a runny nose. Achy hips/back. Still no appetite. Moody- little things bugging me today. Tossed and turned all night.
11dpo- (today 8/6). I caved and tested early this morning. Not surprised. Got a but still no sign of Still achy and not hungry. And can't tell if metformin is causing my Lack of appetite and gas pains or if its cramps. My cycles are irregular so I'm not surprised she hasn't shown yet. Didn't sleep well last night either. Dull feeling of something down there. Not painful just present. Had a few twinges on left side. Itchy nipples?
12dpo- AM took FRER HPT = Still no sign of AF. Heartburn and another restless night last night. Having that heavy feeling again, not that it ever really went away. Pains on left side. (But Ovulated from RT this time)

Feeling less hopeful... Another but no in site.... Yet. Didn't have any spotting bit I also know not everyone gets Implantation bleeding.

I think implantation is overrated. IMHO.
I think a lot of women think they have it, but then never return to say it was actually just AF coming. Which leads many to believe it's much more common than it actually is.
2 pregnancies and I've never had implantation bleeding.

Finally far enough along to post my notes

I typically have a 30 day cycle (give or take a few days) and am not sure when I ovulated this month, so based on ov symptoms and cm around the usual time, I made an educated guess as to what dpo I am...

1-2DPO: Nothing aside from horrible acne breakouts which have been happening throughout this cycle since my "ov" day.

3DPO: slight cramps on right lower abdomen, increased sex drive, slight nausea at night but nothing serious, gassy, creamy CM. Craving milk like crazy even though im lactose intolerant.

4DPO: vivid dream, woke up with headache, exhausted, nauseous, creamy cm, increased sex drive, big pimple forming which is normal for AF, but usually doesn't happen for another week. More milk cravings. More urgency to pee.

5DPO: vivid dream, BBs feel heavy/full, nauseous and light headed, AF like cramps and it's shooting down my leg, completely exhausted (falling asleep at my desk at work), BBs starting to feel tender, cranky, more milk cravings, gassy, creamy cm, pulling/pain on right and left sides, nauseous before bed.

6DPO: vivid dream, again. nauseous when waking up, af cramps in the morning, "bubbly guts", lower belly feels heavy - hard to describe, lots of watery CM, af-like cramps again, easily crying, easily irritated/set off, BBs very sore and full, tiny bit of brown color in EWCM - implantation bleeding? I don't know.

7DPO: yet another vivid dream, BBs still tender and full, extremely nauseous - had to eat a plain piece of bread to calm my stomach, lethargic, so cranky and irrational, almost crying at everything and fighting with DH. Brown spotting/yellow-ish CM, AF like cramps, tender/full BBs.

8DPO: 2 vivid dreams last night (woke up in the middle of the night), BBs still very tender, AF like cramps, nauseous, stuffed up/sore throat. I feel like I'm getting sick... yet ANOTHER vivid dream during a nap I had because I was completely exhausted, more AF like cramps at night, lots of wet CM (a little creamy as well), nauseous while laying down to go to bed.

9DPO: ANOTHER vivid dream... I dream sometimes, but this is getting crazy. BBs still sore/full, but not nearly as bad, gums were bleeding a lot, they do on occasion, but this was a lot... nauseous and light headed, slight headache, slight AF-like cramps, belly feels "full"? like I'm going to get AF or something, sharp pains on left side, wet cm, nauseous. I noticed before bed that boobs don't hurt as much and don't feel quite as full, so I'm starting to feel "out" this month, although nips are slightly sensitive.

10DPO: (This morning) Vivid dream - shocking right? I caved, and took a test, BFN. I was so emotional about it. I know it's early, but I was sure that I was pregnant, so I'm feeling very down today. BBs still tender, but not as sore still, strong AF cramps in the morning and I feel like AF is going to show up any day now , tickle in throat/sick/cold feeling - I can't stop clearing my throat and dry coughing - stuffy nose. SO cranky today, everyone is driving me crazy.

That's it so far for me... I'll update as I go along. I'm supposed to get my period either the 9th, 10th, or 11th (so frustrated that I'm not sure when I O'd because it makes it difficult to keep track of)...

Any thoughts?

Update for today 10DPO:
I just noticed pink spotting??? I'm really hoping this is some weirdo version of implantation bleeding, and not AF... that would make AF 5 days early if it is, so it doesn't make sense.

To finish off the rest of 10DPO: my pink spotting completely disappeared, my sore throat became even worse as the night went on, was sure that I was getting sick... on top of that AF-like cramps happened, I was nauseous and getting hot flashes... right before bed I went to the bathroom to find brown spotting. I was devastated and very emotional... and obviously exhausted, so I went to bed.

Today 11DPO (so far): I was about 99.99% sure that I was going to wake up to AF. She loves to arrive in the morning... but nothing. Not at all... and I still have AF cramps. So now I'm at work going to the bathroom every 5 minutes to check. No idea what to think at this point... I'm still scared that AF is going to show up

The rest of yesterday (11 DPO) I had brown spotting on and off all day so I knew I was out....

Today (12 DPO): BFN, shortly after my morning shower, AF arrived - I'm out. I must have been later than I guessed that I was.

How do we get through this? Not to sound too melodramatic, but seriously? With the exception of my careless counting this month, I've been so on top of this, doing all that I can. I get that we only really get a 20% chance each month... and I get that failure isn't the end of the world while TTC for the first time if it's under a year. But I just feel so low this month... previous months I've been more positive and ready for the next cycle, but this month I just feel defeated. I thought this was it for us... I've been wanting to be a mother since I was a little girl, as I'm sure most of you have to.

It's so defeating... I'm going to turn my original post red after I write this. I'm going to take a break from symptom hunting because I think it almost makes this more difficult. Good luck to all of you TTC, and I hope that you all get the BFPs you so greatly deserve

I'm can totally relate... another BFN for me this morning. now i have some cramping... Feeling like AF will show anytime now. We'll get our BFPs... It's on to another Clomid round for me *sigh*

Hey everyone! So I've been reading all of these posts on here and I finally decided that I should hop on and see what you guys think.

I've kept track of some of my symptoms but this has been pretty crazy so bear with me.

Symptoms started last month and my period was 2 days late. Then I thought AF came but it was brownish/pink/a little red blood. It was there in the late morning and then would disappear every night. This went on for a few days. I decided that there must be no pregnancy and just kept on going. Normally my cycle is 28 days long but my "period" was only here for a few days...

My symptoms are:
- Hot
- Gassy
- Achy
- I've had cold like symptoms (Stuffy nose, sore throat)
- I had a yellowish sticky discharge last night
- When I laid down for bed last night I smelt a gas stove (we don't own a gas stove). It went away after a couple minutes
- Have waves of nausea
- Little white bumps on my areolas
- My face has been breaking out (Not normal)
- Back has been tingly/crampy
- I've taken 2 tests..both BFN

How likely is this? Since I just has my "period" or whatever like a week ago would it show up on a test this soon?

I've also been irritable, feel like I'm going to cry at every little thing, my sex drive is through the roof, and I had weird pains around my bellybutton for the past few days. My stomach and pelvis area just seems "harder."

Update: My nipples have become crazy sore. I ate a whole can of pineapple a few nights ago at 1 in the morning because of a craving that wouldn't go away. My stuffy nose/sore throat have been better. I'm always exhausted: I went to the gym today and could barely squat 50 pounds.... normally I squat over 200. What??? I feel really happy and lovey lately. My next period is 11 days away.

CD44 - Well something weird happened with my FF chart this morning. I was adamant that I ovulated on CD15 or CD20 and that I had charted wrong. Turns out not. I'm now only 8DPO and AF is due a week today!

https://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh70/kjordanj/null_zps380bcd80.png

Makes me wonder where all those symptoms came from!? So let's begin at 8DPO - Slight heartburn, boobs sore to touch. Light cramping. Cervix is High, Medium and Closed. CM has turned to watery. Temperature has slightly risen to 36.98.

 

[Nina83]

Joining in here to keep track of symptoms.
I'm after MC, and since the week after the Mc until today I've been having symptoms. So here goes!

1dpo- Nausea, sharp pelvic pain/pubic bone, fatigue, elevated temp in evening
2dpo- Nausea, sharp pelvic pain/pubic bone, migraine, elevated temp in evening
3dpo- Cramps, Pelvic pain, creamy/watery CM, tired, headache
4dpo- Sharp pains on both sides, fatigue, elevated temp in evening, creamy/increased CM
5dpo- Cramps:sharp pains on sides, fatigue, creamy/increased CM, very light AF cramps here and there, regular temps in evening

6dpo- nothing much. creamy yellowish CM. Elevated temps in evening, very dull AF cramps scattered throughout the day
7dpo- dip in morning temps. Nausea, pelvic pain, creamy CM, overall sluggish feeling

8dpo- I couldn't sleep last night. bloated tummy and nausea. Also a neighbor upstairs decided to work out at about 1pm and we heard the "boom boom" of the training machine for about an hour +.
I definitely had 3 hours of sleep prior to my waking though- elevated temps in morning. Major migraine- dizziness, blurred vision. Day 3 of headache. Slight cramps every now and then. Wet/creamy CM. High firm CP.

9dpo- nausea, bloating, extremely wet/creamy down there, normal temps in evening.
The other day I noticed "spots" on my breasts. I asked DH if I always had them and he said yes, but now they're noticeable and more. I didn't think much of it, but later noticed this as a very early pregnancy symptom- montgomery tubercles. Last night I noticed them again, but slightly lighter.
Acne breakout. I usually have a spot here and there before AF, but right now it's ridicules. I feel like I'm in high school again. AF is due next Monday/Tuesday, so I'm not sure what to make of it.
Extreme bloating during the night. I wake up at night from my stomach being so sore from bloating, I can't sleep on my side of stomach! I thought it might be because I didn't have a BM, but I had one the other day- TMI- but everything got out.
I took some benefiber last night, might work. I woke up this morning bloatless. It gets worse through out the day though.

10dpo- nausea, light cramps here and there, acne breakout, those spots on my breasts. I seriously just want to throw up on desk and then go to sleep.

I've also been having these weird sensations in my stomach. Previous pregnancy I got the gurgles, but that was at about 14dpo when I already got a BFP. These past few days I've got a sort of "scratching" feeling every now and then inside. It's so weird.

10dpo- slight nausea, tired, extremely creamy/wet down there. Mild cramps started around the afternoon, and got stronger. Full blown AF cramps started at about 17:00 and by 19:00 I was in real pain. I never even have this kind of cramping with AF. Also, the AF cramps I get are the day after I start, and more to one side. I kept checking out what was going on because I was wet, and in pain, 1+1... by about 21:00 the pain was completely gone. So confusing
Insomnia again. I can't take this. I need a good nights sleep!

Hey Ladies!

I've been following this thread and have read each post which took a good few days!

1st month trying and I've experienced the following:

ovulation -a lot of CM, shooting pain in right breast, cramps. BD
1dpo -a lot of CM and cramps
2dpo -BD no symptoms
3dpo -BD no symptoms
4dpo -no symptoms
5dpo -no symptoms, was naughty so tested, negative as expected
6dpo -headache/migraine, felt sick but this maybe down to being on a ferry however I never felt I'll when I was on a boat trip a few days previously. Feeling tired but could be because it was so hot!Teary.
7dpo -no symptoms
8dpo -tested (think I'm a poas addict! ) negative
9dpo -bloated
10dpo -bloated, gassy, creamy discharge dark pink in colour, cramps. Tested negative. Period due in 3 days
11dpo -cramping on left side and browish spotting...looks like af will be here soon as I tested again and negative. Never imagined this would consume me like this. ...

Good luck to all of those who are awaiting their BFP and congrats to those who are pregnant x

 

[SapphireStace]

Good luck ladies! Those still in it.... Hope you get your BFP soon.

I'm feeling out this round. Still BFN... And I think AF is supposed to show somewhere around 11-13. I hate irregular cycles. But since still neg tests I feel like a pos would have shown by now.

*my updates are on page 113*

 

[Newlywed2012]

Wizz- I feel exactly the same. This is my first month TTC and it has totally consumed me. I am that sort of personal. I have been symptom spotting too. Here are mine:

Dpo3- diarrhoea slight headache backache increased smell nausea
Dpo4- nausea, upset stomach, no diarrhoea, cloudy head, backache smells agrivating me
D6po- temp dip - cramping, upset stomach, cloudy head
8dpo- woke up major pulling / sharp spray in uterus, stomach cramps, nausea, bloated
9dpo- temp increase to 97.73, vivid dream of my throat having anaphylaxis shock, lots of watery CM
10dpo- increased urination. Bloated. Cramping. Back ache, taste buds obscuring the taste of foods, extremely tired
11dpo-
12dpo- brown spotting, feeling sick, BFN

I will be testing again on Sunday as the small amount of brown spotting I had this mornig is now non existent and I've had no AF symptoms of cramping at all. Holding on to a small amount of hope! I have to say I was adamant I was!! I could I 'make up' this amount of symptoms!!

 

[jelissamo]

hello ladies, new here so I'll follow the guidelines and I hope my info can help someone.

I'm 9 DPO. We've been TTC for 8 months.
at 1 DPO I thought I got a bug bite on my tummy and cervix felt swollen and hurt to try.
at 2 DPO I had more "bites" on my tummy and side and my hoo haa was sore.
at 3 DPO I started having these "bites" all over my tummy and thighs, super itchy!
at 4 DPO it hurt to sit down, super swollen cervix. I googled the "bites" and it looks like I have PUPPP. pregnant women typically get it during their 2nd trimester.
at 5 DPO I noticed nausea and the itching and sensitive nipples and stuffy nose
I'm at 9 DPO and I still have the PUPPP and itchy/sensitive nipples, intermitten nausea and stuffy nose. the past 3 nights I've had crazy dreams. At 7 DPO I had a nightmare so scary I woke up twice! I've been all over the place emotionally too. and my gums hurt.

NEW: I'm at 13 DPO and yesterday i had nausea and gas in addition to the continuous itching.
Today I am really bloated and i've noticed my cm has changed a little. I dont have any zits (normally I get one when my AF is going to show). BUT I am having doubt, that what I've been thinking are pregnancy symptoms are really just AF symptoms. I'm going to test Thursday if my AF hasn't shown up and if that's negative then my DH will bring home an unltrasound machine and check me next week.

I'm planning on testing in a few days. My hubby thinks it's twins, Ha! If I didn't have the horrible itching and super bloated pelvis then I'd totally think my other symptoms were from Pre-AF. I'm praying for you ladies and sending sticky Baby Dust to you all!

I have the itching too! It's been on my belly and my boobs for the past week I would say. It's always worse at night for me. The absolute weirdest thing! Keep us updated!
