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

[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!
xoxoxo

So I got impatient again and I tested this morning instead of tomorrow, but I got a light second line! It's just like with my first pregnancy, so I'll get blood work to confirm and see how my hcg is doing.
I had morning insomnia again this morning, uhhh!
Yesterday I was super bloated and moody. So it could have gone either way.
This morning I had tight pulling in my pelvic region when I would switch from one side to the other in bed. I hope my info helps someone. xoxoxo and I'm praying for all you ladies!

Hi there! I'm brand new to this BnB but I have been watching this thread for the past three days. I'd like to add to it if that is ok.

I'm on CD 29. I *think* my O day was July 30th but not certain. (usually 14-16 days in). I had a CP in November which was my 4th m/c in the last 15 years. Really, REALLY hoping for a BFP soon.

6DPO- Super nauseous, really bad headache, acne, sore throat, really dizzy, sleeplessness, exhaustion, increased CM, weepy, Bloating, Gassy, ovarian twinges, backache.

7DPO- Nausea increasing, really bad HA, stuffy/runny nose, bad sore throat (feels like strep to me), dizzy, sleeplessness, exhaustion, bloating, gassy, backache NEW SX: heaviness/fullness, sore muscles, pronounced veins on legs, anxious, constipation, frequent urination, dry CM.

8DPO-same as above but NEW: spotting, increased appetite, hot flashes/chills, increased sense of smell, dry mouth/increased thirst, I feel pregnant, mild cramps, pressure.

9DPO- So this day I suddenly started getting zings in my breasts (right primarily). Not breast pain, not swollen breasts, just this zip/zap/twinge/shocking feeling through them. Sore nipples, pulling/pinching/twinges in abdomen, weird but increased saliva but super dry mouth. I feel like I need to just drink a gallon of cold water in one sitting. I'm so thirsty! Other symptoms from 6-8DPO remain.

10DPO- Went to the doctor today because I swear I have strep and I just had it back in July. Rapid strep was negative so Dr. put me on Tylenol and Benadryl to help dry up my mucus and relieve the throat pain. Same symptoms 6-9DPO but had diarrhea once today. Constipation returned after. Food aversion, nausea is still increasing, cannot sleep for the life of me, so dizzy, zaps in breasts, very yellow pee.

11DPO-super worried now because I have PMS like cramping (not as bad as normal though). Also- heaviness, sore muscles (legs), backache, tingling breasts, anxiety, bad headache, nausea that won't quit, sore throat, increased sense of smell, stuffy nose, dry mouth and crazy thirst. DEcreased appetite. Took a HPT (dollar store) and it was a super . Feeling deflated.

12DPO- DH went to Houston for a week for work. same symptoms but cramps are still there and I'm moody and irritable. No patience.

13DPO- Bloating, gassy, sore muscles, butterfly feeling in abdomen, sore legs, backache, tingling breasts, itchy breasts, moody, irritable, increased saliva, increased sense of smell, metallic taste in mouth, stuffy nose, can't sleep, SO exhausted, dry CM, frequent urination, that dang nausea.

14DPO- AF due today. Butterflies in abdomen, headache, sore throat, increased saliva but super thirsty, stuffy nose, exhaustion, dry CM, frequent urination, strong smelling urine, nausea. ALSO...tips of nipples have a white look to them, like when breast feeding. does that make sense?

15DPO- AF a day late. Bloating, gassy, cramping, flutters in abdomen, backache, feel like I'm in a fog, lazy, pronounced veins (and I *think* my breast veins are becoming more pronounced), I finally slept last night but I don't feel well rested, breasts are tender and sensitive, I feel HAPPY even though I am exhausted. Decreased appetite.

I'm scared to death to test at this point because I can't tell if AF wants to come or not. Normally, I start showing very light, pinkish-brown spotting the day or two before AF arrives but all I see is nada! Wore a light tampon yesterday in case and normally when AF is coming, it will come out with some bleeding but it was stark white yesterday.

Wishing all the best during your pregnancy!!!!!!

I also wanted to say CONGRATS to all of you that got that BFP! Sending baby dust your way

And to those that didn't get it this month, I'm sending out prayers that your BFP will come soon. I'm so sorry.

Hello all

Congrats to everyone on their BFP's!!

I'm a little confused and wondering if anyone could shed some light?

I've posted on here previously but couldn't find my last post to quote it. So the basic gist of it;

I was due on 21 July. Nada.
Blood test done by nurse on 31 July and 4 hpt's in between and all negative so nurse sent me to see dr yesterday.

He requested I do a urine sample to test at the hospital. but if blood was negative, surely urine would be too? he called it a "proper test" and said will discuss everything else next tuesday depending on results.

Urine done this morning, now wait for app on Tuesday to see results.

Warning!!Sorry if the next bit is tmi!!!
However, today around 2pm I all of sudden started getting AF type cramps and they lasted about 10 mins. 20 mins later, I checked, I had a reeally thick dark almost brown like gloop? When I wiped, it was bright red as if I was on like normal. So felt relieved AF was finally here after 51 day cycle!
I put a pad on, finished work at 6 and went to loo and nothing? The pad was completely clean and I didn't seem to be on anymore?

Slightly confused I've been going to the loo almost every half hour to check and still nada?

I've checked my cervix, its low and soft. And also noticed really pale pinkish cm I think? But nothing when I wipe?

It's not 11 pm, and my belly is cramping like mad. It's not majorly painful just really uncomfortable so I can't sleep?

Do I count this as a period? I have no idea if I o'd as my last period was 17 June so longest cycle I've ever had.

I don't know what to think now?

Any experiences or thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thank you xxx

to everyone!!

Also should have added in there I ALWAYS get sore boobs around 1week before AF comes, that's how I know it's coming. But not this time. They just feel heavier?

 

[kiddz1]

10/11dpo: spotting, very sore boobs, tired, hungry, pressure in abdomen

Not sure what will happen...

Hi Ladies,

Me and my DH are ttc#1 for past 6 months.
This is our 1st clomid cycle with provera to start the cycle.
Today I am on CD28 (i dont know exactly when i O'ed but am sure I did because my overall body temperature has increased which does when I usually O )
I am having few symptoms like sore throat, lot of creamy cm, sore nipples, sore and aching breasts, constipation, raised body temp.
I don't want to test now and be depressed if I get a BFN. Waiting to test next week if no AF shows up (my cycles are never regular).
Wish me good luck ladies to post something here in green !!

Hello everyone,

I've been lurking on here for a few days and a bit new to all the abbreviations so please bear with me!

I had an ectopic pregnancy two years and two weeks ago where my right tube was removed at nine weeks. It was a huge shock and we wanted to wait until I was emotionally ready again. Since then I've charted every cycle in detail and for the last fourteen months I've been bang on my predictions on this great app I use to track. This is the first time I've missed my AF so I've been checking my symptoms and after reading all these posts I'm feeling really hopeful but also really scared. I want a baby so much but terrified it will happen again. But then I'm scared that it won't be there too and e end writing this post will jinx it. I feel crazy!

So this is where I am at:
DTD two days before, on the day of and two days after ovulation.
DPO1 to DP3 very watery and very energetic
DPO4 started to get light headaches, still quite watery
DPO5 to DPO6 high energy again and return to normal
DPO7 to DPO11 no noticeable changes at all
DPO12 raised temperature all day, slight bloating feeling in lower abdomen, twinges in left pelvis and a dull ache in that area all night. Could not get comfy and had lucid, bizarre dreams
DPO13 good energy levels but a very hungry day, small dull ache in abdomen again, suspect AF is on the way
DPO14 so thirsty! Low energy and noticed creamy mucus at night. No AF which is due today.
DPO15 crazy dreams last night, high temperature and increase in mucus. Tired towards the end of the day and boobs are very heavy, sore at the nipples and the area around nipples seems darker. Noticed I am needing the toilet more but I am more thirsty so drinking more. Never seems to be much though and quite dark in colour to say how much I am drinking. Lots of creamy thick mucus which looks yellow on the paper.
DPO16 vivid dreams again and cannot find a comfortable temperature. Very thirsty for milk (I hate milk but managed to drink a pint neat which normally would make me gag but Ive had one a day this week!!) Huge appetite, boobs are too sore to touch and I've got lots of raised bumps around my nipples which are also rock hard, huge and sore. Tired all day and all my muscles ache. Can't concentrate at work (I am a workaholic normally so this is strange for me) and I keep being unusually forgetful and clumsy, dropping things and walking into objects I live around every day. Still lots of mucus and a watery feeling that my AF has arrived but when I wipe it's clear.
DPO17 same as above entry only tiredness has gone up a level where my arms just don't want to work, it's so strange. Huge appetite again, mainly for cereal with milk.
DPO18 have noticed the veins on my boobs seem really blue but can't remember if they are always like that or not. All above symptoms the same but boobs sore all the time and still no AF. Have realised I haven't got the usual bloating feeling or spots that I would normally have and my hair is shiny, not as greasy as it normally is. Cheeks are very red and I have felt breathless a few times today too, May just need more exercise!
DPO19 All the same feelings and signs. Had strange glittery feelings in my stomach.

I've also had an increase in gas and heartburn in the last ten days, the heartburn is usually when I start feeling hungry.

All of these symptoms are strange because with my last pregnancy I only noticed the nausea at around five weeks and didn't get a BFP until 9 weeks because it was ectopic, the hcg levels were too low and by then I was bleeding because it had ruptured. So this is all new and I'm still aware it could just be I'm a bit late and a bit over hopeful!!

It's wonderful hearing everyone's stories though and its really helped me to monitor myself against other experiences. Such a great thread!

Congratulations to everyone with good news though and best wishes to everyone waiting for their miracles. For me it's not just about the BFP, it's having everything in the right place. I only have one chance left xxx

My heart broke when I read your post. I am sorry for your loss. Know that there are others, including myself, in this forum that have been through loss of a baby. You are not alone. I hope you find encouragement and a new glimpse of hope and peace.
I am excited for you and the chance of being pregnant again! I understand being scared. So hard to try again and not expect the same outcome. I felt that many times. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Please keep us posted!

Lots and Lots of baby wishes


By the way...maybe you could test on the same day with a friend on here??

Thank you for your lovely words and I've surprised myself at how stable I feel actually. I grieved for a long time but have been very deliberate in waiting. I'm sorry to hear of your loss too. One thing that got me through was that I was chosen, even for a short while, and I still feel blessed for that.

Testing at the same time as someone sounds like a good plan. I'm giving myself a week for AF to show and partly because I'm enjoying this little glimmer of hope! I'll keep everyone posted, if my symptoms help anyone it's worth it xxx

 

[MrsLake2013]

Hey Ladies.

I've just sat here and read the whole thread.

Currently on 3dpo? possibly. Had Clomid for the first time and Pretty confident that I felt OV. No other monitoring currently other than FF and multiple app's on my phone.

I know it's quite early in the process however yesterday and today I've had constant/long bouts of twinges and slight cramps around my ovaries sometimes moving more towards my uterus.
Today I've been peeing constantly.
Last night I had the most restless sleep I've ever had.

I know I shouldn't really be thinking about symptoms because it is so early, but after being diagnosed with PCOS 10 years ago and having unprotected sex for the last 6 years with Hubby (only married almost 4 months) and never having any signs or symptoms, I've got my FX'd!

 

[star25]

Hello, congratulations to all the green posters!

I'm on my 6th and final round of Clomid, CD30
Unmonitored so not sure about dpo but I'll try and guess

CD15 and 16 - ovulation type pain, feeling fragile inside e.g.) pains in ovaries when sitting down

CD23 and 24 - possible 7-8dpo - dull stabbing pains in left ovary area, have had this in previous cycles but pain has been sharper and carried on for about a week so could have been a cyst previously

CD26 - possible 10-11dpo - dtd with dh and it hurt like my cervix was being hit, carried on anyway, I didnt orgasm but had bad cramps after for about 15 mins, wasnt like usual period pain, felt more tight and after it went felt like I had been doing sit ups, I normally get period pain after dtd when I am a couple of days away from af but only normally when I orgasm

CD28 and 29 - possible 12-13dpo - brown blood on paper after dtd, this was only a small amount and have had this before when a couple of days away from af so not sure it's a sign

CD 28 til now CD30 - sore boobs - this is normal for me before period but they are normally more sore than what they are now and usually feel heavier and slightly bigger but they dont this time

And thats it! Basically just feeling less pms signs that I normally do
Last 2 cycles have been 32 days, 1 before them though was 42 day's so who knows but in that cycle I didnt feel any signs of af or anything until about CD35

Good luck everyone, hope we all go green soon!

Hello everyone! This is a great thread!

My story- I have almost 8 month old twins, and DH and I are not currently TTC. We plan on having more children, but not until the twins are at least 2. I'm still breastfeeding, but I've had my cycle back since 2 months post partum. We dtd this past Sunday, and I thought I was either past ovulation, or having an anovulatory cycle. However, on Monday I had ovulation pain and ewcm, so I think I O'ed that day (CD 18). It's unlikely, but definitely possible that we might have caught the egg.

1-2 DPO- nothing
3-4 DPO- stuffy nose and headache upon waking, increased appetite
5-6 DPO- lots of cm, some cramping, fatigue, mood swings, sore gums
7 DPO- fatigue, moody
8dpo- fatigue, sore breasts, faint positive on a FRER, but only after about an hour (possibly evap)
9dpo- sore breasts, nausea, creamy cm, another squinter of a line on a FRER. Still unsure.
10dpo- sore breasts, nausea, creamy cm, yet ANOTHER possible evap on a test, fatigue, pelvic pain that feels like the start of SPD I had when I was pregnant (could it really start this early)?
11dpo- sore breasts, nausea, fatigue, another *maybe* faint line on an IC. I have a digital test that I'm going to take tomorrow to find out for certain.
12dpo- all of the above plus dizziness and some cramps. Digital test said no, but got a faint line on an IC. Still in the dark, so I'll be testing until AF, I guess. Negative on a FRER. Sensitive to smells.
13dpo- sore breasts, dizziness, nausea, pelvis pain, positive on an IC that suddenly disappeared after 5 minutes. Very sensitive to smells.
14dpo- sore breasts, cramps, another evap on IC after only 3-5 minutes (no color). AF is two days late.
15dpo- AF arrived.

Of course, we will be happy if I'm pregnant, because a baby is always a blessing...but man, I can hardly imagine having a newborn in addition to my twins. Or being pregnant while chasing around newly mobile twins! Eek. I'm not even going to entertain the possibility that I could have another set of twins. So, there would be some worry if I'm pregnant, but ultimately we would be very happy and I'm sure it would work out fine.

I'll be testing on August 24th if AF doesn't show up and if I can wait that long!

Hello everyone,

I've been lurking on here for a few days and a bit new to all the abbreviations so please bear with me!

I had an ectopic pregnancy two years and two weeks ago where my right tube was removed at nine weeks. It was a huge shock and we wanted to wait until I was emotionally ready again. Since then I've charted every cycle in detail and for the last fourteen months I've been bang on my predictions on this great app I use to track. This is the first time I've missed my AF so I've been checking my symptoms and after reading all these posts I'm feeling really hopeful but also really scared. I want a baby so much but terrified it will happen again. But then I'm scared that it won't be there too and e end writing this post will jinx it. I feel crazy!

So this is where I am at:
DTD two days before, on the day of and two days after ovulation.
DPO1 to DP3 very watery and very energetic
DPO4 started to get light headaches, still quite watery
DPO5 to DPO6 high energy again and return to normal
DPO7 to DPO11 no noticeable changes at all
DPO12 raised temperature all day, slight bloating feeling in lower abdomen, twinges in left pelvis and a dull ache in that area all night. Could not get comfy and had lucid, bizarre dreams
DPO13 good energy levels but a very hungry day, small dull ache in abdomen again, suspect AF is on the way
DPO14 so thirsty! Low energy and noticed creamy mucus at night. No AF which is due today.
DPO15 crazy dreams last night, high temperature and increase in mucus. Tired towards the end of the day and boobs are very heavy, sore at the nipples and the area around nipples seems darker. Noticed I am needing the toilet more but I am more thirsty so drinking more. Never seems to be much though and quite dark in colour to say how much I am drinking. Lots of creamy thick mucus which looks yellow on the paper.
DPO16 vivid dreams again and cannot find a comfortable temperature. Very thirsty for milk (I hate milk but managed to drink a pint neat which normally would make me gag but Ive had one a day this week!!) Huge appetite, boobs are too sore to touch and I've got lots of raised bumps around my nipples which are also rock hard, huge and sore. Tired all day and all my muscles ache. Can't concentrate at work (I am a workaholic normally so this is strange for me) and I keep being unusually forgetful and clumsy, dropping things and walking into objects I live around every day. Still lots of mucus and a watery feeling that my AF has arrived but when I wipe it's clear.
DPO17 same as above entry only tiredness has gone up a level where my arms just don't want to work, it's so strange. Huge appetite again, mainly for cereal with milk.
DPO18 have noticed the veins on my boobs seem really blue but can't remember if they are always like that or not. All above symptoms the same but boobs sore all the time and still no AF. Have realised I haven't got the usual bloating feeling or spots that I would normally have and my hair is shiny, not as greasy as it normally is. Cheeks are very red and I have felt breathless a few times today too, May just need more exercise!
DPO19 All the same feelings and signs. Had strange glittery feelings in my stomach.

I've also had an increase in gas and heartburn in the last ten days, the heartburn is usually when I start feeling hungry.

All of these symptoms are strange because with my last pregnancy I only noticed the nausea at around five weeks and didn't get a BFP until 9 weeks because it was ectopic, the hcg levels were too low and by then I was bleeding because it had ruptured. So this is all new and I'm still aware it could just be I'm a bit late and a bit over hopeful!!

It's wonderful hearing everyone's stories though and its really helped me to monitor myself against other experiences. Such a great thread!

Congratulations to everyone with good news though and best wishes to everyone waiting for their miracles. For me it's not just about the BFP, it's having everything in the right place. I only have one chance left xxx

I slept so well last night and didn't dream for the first time in ages. Woke up energised but within an hour felt dog rough and slightly nauseous on the Sri e to work. Have been running to the loo all day and tonight because it feels like AF is here, like I have liquid constantly trickling but when I wipe it's bright yellow and very very watery. Pee is almost bright orange and cloudy even though I'm so thirsty I'm drinking pints of water or milk at a time. Boobs still sore and veins on right breast seem really prominent. Creamy mucus when I do an internal check oh and constipated... probably because I can't seem to get full lol. I'm not just hungry I'm ravenous and if I don't eat I feel funny. Was planning yo test on 23/08 but my resolve may weaken at this rate.

Hey Ladies.

I've just sat here and read the whole thread.

Currently on 3dpo? possibly. Had Clomid for the first time and Pretty confident that I felt OV. No other monitoring currently other than FF and multiple app's on my phone.

I know it's quite early in the process however yesterday and today I've had constant/long bouts of twinges and slight cramps around my ovaries sometimes moving more towards my uterus.
Today I've been peeing constantly.
Last night I had the most restless sleep I've ever had.

I know I shouldn't really be thinking about symptoms because it is so early, but after being diagnosed with PCOS 10 years ago and having unprotected sex for the last 6 years with Hubby (only married almost 4 months) and never having any signs or symptoms, I've got my FX'd!

Good luck to you!! I know how hard it is to hope and be scared to hope at the same time. I already feel better just for being a part of this forum, so much support and information. Keep monitoring everything coz you just never know!! FX xx

Hey thanks for this thread, I have endometriosis and PCOS. Me and fiancé have been ttc for 2 years now. Recently I've had major surgery to remove a diseased and infected gallbladder. I'm not 100% sure of when I've ovulated, but since my op my periods have been regular which is unusual for me. I have lost almost 6 stone in weight and have quit smoking. However going off my calculations I ovulated on the 8th August 2013.
0 dpo I felt fine, in a really happy mood
1 dpo thick cm like creamy, felt fine otherwise
2 dpo thick cm almost like snot (tmi), heavy boobs, mild cramping but not looking to much into that.
3 dpo nausea in the evening, came on quite quick, thick snot like cm, shooting pain in left boob behind nipple area going into armpit.
4 dpo nausea, mild cramps, feeling heavy in lower abdo, thick snot like cm in the am but thinning durning the day it's now like a water clear cm. shooting pain in left breast again, restless,. Don't want to look to much into these symptoms as i don't want to build my hopes up but I am really hopeful. My period I'd due in 10 days and I'm extremely anxious at the moment. Hoping to turn this text green in 10'days

It's 4 days till period arrives and I don't feel like its comming, my boobs are slightly bigger and I've got terrible twinges in lower and centre abdo. I may do a test in the morning. Been feeling nauseous and had a terrible migraine today. I'm still really anxious because of the conditions I've got.

Congratulations on all the bfp people have got I wish you all the luck in the world on your happy family life xxxxx
