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

[loobyloo1981]

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

Good luck on getting a bfp! I think I'm going to cave and do a test in the morning too, let's hope we both get to turn green!x

Ooh I like this thread!

Since I am like a child and can't wait I am going to start today even though I think I have only just O'd today

0 DPO/O day O pain and slight cramps, reduction in EWCM

1 DPO Large temp rise, very crampy, occasional sharp left ov pain, constipated, headache

2 DPO Crampy, gassy, lower back ache

3 DPO Very crampy, gassy, lower back ache, snot like CM (urgh!), peeing more (feel like may have water infection)

4 DPO Crampy (feel now it may be from CP checking so laying off that!), gassy, brief ovary pains, but generally not feeling it today

5 DPO Crampy (less so than before), slight burny heavy feeling in lower abdomen, slight nausea on and off, ever so slight sore nips (probs from poking all the time to check ha!), brief ovary pains, lower backache, very irratable before bed!

6 DPO Temp dip, slight cramps, mild nausea, very slight sore nips, lower back ache, irritable, tingly lady bits, very crampy before bed.

7 DPO Took an IC with FMU, BFN no surprise!! Despite this I 'feel' pregnant today, got a kind of full burny feeling in lower abdomen, temp rose again today, mild nausea, lower back ache, ittitable, very slight sore nips, runny nose, terrible gas!

8 DPO Resisted testing!! Full burny feeling in uterus but much less so than 7DPO, brief ovary pains, nausea, temp dropped again, lower back ache, very slight sore nips, mild cramps, terrible gas!

9 DPO IC FMU BFN! Full feeling in uterus is back, the odd ovary pain, lower back ache, occasional nausea and hot flushes, slight sore nips, temp on the up again (it's all over the place but still above cover line), gas, bad nausea at bed time, struggled to get to sleep (v. unusual).

AF due 11/12 DPO (short LP) so not long to wait.....

10 DPO IC FMU BFN! Woke at 6am bursting for pee (v. unusual), temp down a little again, slight nausea, streaks of blood on TP is AF coming? Sharp ovary pain mainly on left side in the evening

11 DPO booooo!

I will be back next time, love this thread!

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a good long while. This thread got me hooked, so to give something back and feed your addictions, here are my sympoms by dpo:

-1 dpo - BD'd
0dpo - Was up working late at 4am, felt the pulling tug of ovulation on right side. Lasted all day, which is unusual for me, normally it's only an hour or two
2-4 dpo - boobs feeling tingly and heavy and a bit sore, nipples a bit sore and hot for half a day, normal for me after ovulation
1-7 dpo - felt an incredibly deep sense of peace. It really felt like a deep well of calm, which is odd because I'm in a really stressful situation with work at the moment
8dpo - Oh, here's the stress again! Boobs normal, but have developed an aversion to wearing a bra. Working from home, this is not an issue.
9dpo - felt really tired after lunch. Had a nap in the afternoon, which I NEVER do. Bra aversion continues, go boob commando again. That night had a dream that my mum rushed over to me, put her hands on my stomach and exclaimed 'you're pregnant!'
10dpo - feel normal, but braless.
11dpo - feel normal in every way except my breasts which feel heavy and full, not sore (still free-range). Looking in the bathroom mirror before going to bed late at night and I feel a pulling feeling low down on my right side (lower than ovulation). Look at myself in shock and awe and say 'oh my god, what have we done?!'. I had this moment of knowing.
12dpo - 8am - 2pm it's too early to test, right? I'm not going to be one of those women who pee on sticks obsessively. Yeah, I'll just wait until Monday. Yeah....Monday... 3 days away. I'll wait....
12dpo - 2pm-6pm - hold pee for four hours
12dpo - 6pm - PEE! ON A STICK! BFP appears in 30 seconds and at that moment my husband walks in the door. Just about remember to pull up pants and wash hands. Lead husband to the magical urine stick of wonder with trembling hands. He sees it too. In total shock, that was our first month trying. Still can't quite believe it. Boobs a bit sore and feel heavy, but most noticable thing is how 'pointy' they seem. Like, I might be smuggling small traffic cones. I have small boobs, so any change is really obvious. Perky boobs!
13dpo - wake up, pee. Go to chemist and buy Clearblue digital. Hold pee for 4 hours. BFP confirmed. Had to wear a bra today because we have a friend visiting. Didn't want to unnerve him with nipple show.

So there you go, none of the symptoms are really that obvious on their own, or really that strong (and some days with nothing physical at all), but looks like we have only gone and done a baby.

Feeling cautiously optimistic at the moment. It's really early days, and this is the first time I've ever been pregnant so have no idea whether it will stick. Let's see...

P.S. The Chinese gender prediction calendar says it's going to be a girl.

 

[steatite]

I should add that my above post makes it look like we just BD'd once, and bang, done. This isn't the case at all. I did hours of obsessive Internet research (mainly on this forum) and we tried to time everything to BD every other day from the end of AF (gotta get some practice shots in, right?). Have obsessed and worried over everything from drinking caffeine to ensuring DH's plums feel cool and breezy in loose boxers. So yeah, the baby-making madness was upon me, despite the impression I gave above!

 

[kiddz1]

Trouble finding old post...so update...
12dpo...3rd day spotting turns into light period
Major cramping!!! Breast tenderness, tired, can't eat chocolate
or tomatoes w/out getting nauseous.
Not quite sure if I should turn my type green. I'm going to hold off one more day
before changing color.
Hopeful for others still waiting
Congrats to new BFP!!!!!!!!

Hello! I figured I would join in
1dpo- tired, moody
2-4dpo-tired, moody, chest acne and abdominal cramps cervix is high cm is gooey
5dpo- tired, severely gassy, crying a lot, vivid dreams, "twinges" on right side, severe nausea, I can now smell EVERYTHING!
6dpo- tired, sleeping a lot, cm is stretchy and clear, severe nausea, can't eat meat....took a first response because I like to torture myself, BFN
7dpo- tired, moody, face acne, right boob pain and burning, bloating, cried watching a humane society commercial, still cant eat meat
8dpo- tired, nausea, vomiting, face acne, still stretchy and clear cm, cervix is HIGH as all heck
I swear I am pregnant, I sound crazy to my DH, he thinks it is from a hormone thing since 3 weeks ago my Mirena was removed, I hear of woman who are practically just looked at by their DH and get preggers, I want a boy, he wants a boy, his family pops out multiples and so does mine, my sister is a twing and my dad has twin siblings and my FIL is a triplet! I am ALL AROUND nervous!

Rooting for all of you!

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!

I had to go red Good luck everyone x

 

[kiddz1]

Had to go red
Prayers and hugs to all still waiting!

 

[Hazybaby84]

Hi everyone, I was going to wait till my next cycle but I really want to join in. I am currently TTC number 2 after having my nexplanon removed 1/08/13. Currently I'm 5dpo and my symptoms so far are;

1-2dpo - Nothing that I can remember other than waking up at 6-6:30am for no reason (not normal for me, at least 2hrs before my alarm and I need my alarm to get me up, lol.)
3dpo - Woke up same time again, sore throat, feel funny. Nipples becoming sensitive, headache in the evening that went after I had ate.
4dpo - Nipples still sensitive, woke up early again, fell back asleep at time I would normally get up, had real trouble getting back up after.
5dpo - Nipples still sensitive, woke up early again, then fell back asleep at same time as yesterday. Noticed two really blue prominent protruding veins, one on each of my breast going down through my nipples and my chest is now becoming really achy all across the top from my armpits, sharp pulling a few times when I have gone to move and I also had a light ache and one sharp stab which lasted 30 seconds this evening.

I am really trying not to think about testing as I know what I'm like, the fortune I will spend just so I can poas. Lol.

 

[loobyloo1981]

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 turn to go red Evil AF came during the night on stealth mode! Been sad today, got my hopes up too quickly, but plenty more times to try. I enjoyed soft cheese and wine

Wishing everyone the best of luck and might be able to post green one day soon. Never give up hope xxx [/COLOR]

I see a lot of women here mentioning sinus issues as a symptom...why is that? I ask because I have been sneezing a lot and had 2 nosebleeds yesterday and one the day before. i know with my 1st pregnancy i was prone to sinusitis but never thought of it until now.

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.

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


Hey, just a bit of an update. Haven't really had any more sickness, but my breasts have gone sore and hard now, and I have this raging vein by my nipple which isn't normally there. I have more cm which is watery clear with no oudor. Not feeling tired in fact I'm the opposite, I'm really struggling to sleep. And when i do sleep I'm struggling to stay asleep. Tummy feels full and bloated. Sooooo on that note its 2 days till my period is due so I think I will cave in and do a test in the morning. I keep getting butterflies in my tummy to like I'm on a ride lol. It's a strange feeling but it could just be because I'm anxious.
Keep your fingers crossed for my bfp in the morning, I'm so freakin scared I really hope we have done it this time. Xxxxx

 

[Rozzer]

This is a great thread - fantastic idea.

1dpo to 4dpo - sore, tender, fuller boobs, creamy cm, tired (although have had a sick toddler so not sleeping too well.)

5dpo - boobs still sore and I am soooo angry with hubby.

6dpo - boobs v sore, itchy nipples, feeling tired, a bit sick and dizzy plus (tmi) gassy - hmmm, lucky hubby

7dpo - still sore and bigger boobs, dizzy, nauseous, twinges in my abdomen, the slightest of red tinge when i went to the bathroom once

8 dpo - exhausted, couldn't get back to sleep when DS woke me up, grumpy, dizzy, nauseous, headache and very sore boobs. Plus pimples, yuck!

9dpo - as above

10dpo - couldn't eat bacon this morning, too salty. Had two spots at about 1:30pm, light pinki-ish brown. Thought AF here. Have religiously checked undies and around cervix, nothing more. Cervix feels low, firm, closed. Couldn't eat stir fry tonight, too salty (I usually love salt). Boobs seem fuller, more veiny. Bfn this morning on frer

11dpo: woke up dead nauseous thought I was going to throw up over my bed, sore boobs, again bad cramping and I feel like AF is going to come (leaking feeling but it's only CM which smells really sweet)

[ToBeBlessed]

Congrats to all the green ones....

I haven't tested yet, waiting for Wed/Thur to test if AF doesn't show her face.
Currently on CD 31 with fatigue, sore boobs, lot of creamy cervical mucus. occasionally get back aches and mild cramps.
Yesterday evening I puked while travelling in car, which usually doesn't happen but it can be from lack of sleep the previous night and I had to travel a lot.

Keeping my fingers crossed for this to be our month. Cant think of another round of clomid, had worst mood swing this first round.

 

[kiddz1]

Hooray for green and ladies still in waiting! Excited to check back later this week and read results
Hope to return to this site in a few weeks!!! Keep your heads up

6dpo - Woke up early again, chest still achy, the protruding veins keep appearing then disappearing. Noticed my vaginal wall is really swollen when checking my cervix, also a throbbing feeling down there. Otherwise feeling not too bad!

I see a lot of women here mentioning sinus issues as a symptom...why is that? I ask because I have been sneezing a lot and had 2 nosebleeds yesterday and one the day before. i know with my 1st pregnancy i was prone to sinusitis but never thought of it until now.

Because the body produces more mucus in early pregnancy, in preparation for the mucus plug, some women notice this extra mucus in their nasal cavity.
