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

[SarahS TTC 1]

Hi all,

First time listing my symptoms but I'm trying to work out if I'm crazy or hopefully waiting for my first BFP.

I apologise in advance for TMI relating to my BM symptoms

DPO 1: Diarrhea (TMI I know), with bloating, lots of gas and sharp stabbing pains. Also skin breakout which is unsual for me

DPO 2: same as above

DPO 3: Constipation (NEVER happens to me), bloating, gas, heaviness feeling and twinges

DPO 4: Bloating, gas

DPO 5: Bloating, gas, diarrhea, mild cramps/twinges, skin breakout (unusual this early) and dry cervical fluid (really unusual)

DPO 6: A day of opposites, constipation early then diarrhea later, runny nose, then stuffy nose later. More acne & CM. gas and bloating

DPO 7: bloating, gas, twinges, acid reflux, diarrhea, more CM, more acne on chest

DPO 8: bloating, gas, mild cramps, vivid dreams (REALLY unusual for me), acne on my chest (again unusual - expected on my face but face is clear)

DPO 9: bloating, gas, stuffy nose, more chest acne

DPO 10: gas. Sharp stabbing pain on left when I sneezed. Random stabbing pain in back and ribs (moving towards underarm) but only lasted a couple of mins. More vivid dreams again - I usually can't remember them at all. V. occasional tingling breasts

DPO 11: More dreams. gas, constipation and mild cramps. mild tingling boobs

AF is due on Wednesday (DPO 14) and I'm trying not to get caught obsessing until then but it's hard. Not sure I feel pregnant but had lots of unusual symptoms for me.

Is anyone at a similar stage and waiting to test?

Fingers-crossed for everyone.

DPO 12: more gas and bloating. Major cramps but no AF (unusual for me). itchy nipples too (v. weird). feel really different this tww

This cycle I O'd on CD17 which is only one day later than my pre-miscarriage normal o day! Yay for my hormones deciding to go back to normal!! Especially after last months 45 day cycle ugh....

Trying really hard this cycle to not get my hopes up with SS just because last month had extremely similar symptoms to my pregnancy and it was all s But still keeping track just in case I do get those beautiful pink lines!

1-2DPO - More frequent urination, but attributing that to increased thirst and consuming much more water.
3DPO- Bloated, nauseous, increased appetite, increased thirst, frequent urination, sensitive nipples
4DPO- Bloated, increased thirst, frequent urination, nauseous, mini breakout, hot flash

5DPO-Nauseous, light headed, fatigue, stabbing pains in abdomen
6DPO-Nauseous, stuffy nose, hot flashes
7DPO-Irritable, moody, stuffy nose, spotting, some light cramping, lower backache

8DPO-Feeling pretty nauseous today, gas, constipation(sorry for the TMI), bloody nose(had one in the tww in my last pregnancy)

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!

My post turned red today. Honestly relieved after all the confusion this month.

thank you asmcsm!

hope this is your month too! chart is looking good

 

[Newlywed2012]

Great news mimi and congrats. It's nice to see someone test so early and get a positive. I'm going to test 9dpo as I had very early symptoms of implantation on d5

 

[MsJasmine]

I was looking for a thread like this! Great to hear our news LittleBowPeep!

I am just noting down what's going on with me. Felling hopeful this month as we DTD almost every day through out my fertile period. My last af was 7th August. I am usually 28 day on the dot. Although last month my the witch visited me early.

I am a self proclaimed POAS addict, but this month I am trying hard not to buy any until nearer the time.

1dpo- ewcm, dificulty sleeping.

2dpo- lotion type cm, feeling really tired

3dpo- emotional and moody. feeling generally icky and run down. Still managed to bd after being paranoid that I had late ov. Vivid dreams

4dpo- really tired and can't stop coughing.

5dpo- Lotion cm, woke up with coughing fit and terrible pains which had me doubled up for a few minutes. Pain nowdull ache, with jabs now and then. I feel hot, and drained. Could this be late OV? I only go by fertility calendar and cm to know that I am ovulating. However I regularly feel crampy around cd18 (28 day cycle). So confused. No appitite and just a little moody lol
update - pain lasted all day through to the night, bd just in case these were late ov symptoms?? Poor DH

6dpo- Slept until 9.30 and still feel tired. Pain has gone away now. Stuffy nose. Feeling positive but emotional. Gave myself the ultimate pamper session and felt really good about myself (which is unusually as I am normally to busy with life to have me time)

7dpo- A blob of EWCM (sorry tmi) ? big boobs, but usually like this before af is due. Still coughing and major moody, again could be pms symptom. Not really hungry and feeling icky in general. Frequent trips to the bathroom. I am so tempted to poas knowing its way too early. Must resist the urge!!

Half way though 2ww...

8dpo- really really tired. Twinges down below. really loose stools (sorry tmi) not really with it. Had a big plate of mashed potatoes, baked beans and lots of cheese. Really unlike me to have such a big lunch (could actually have eaten it twice). Still have a cough, stuffy nose and headache. Wet cm. One thing I have noticed is that I am usually really bloated by this time in my cycle but not this month. Boobs are sensitive. My hubby has hidden my tests which is funny, but also annoying

9dpo - creamy cm so caved in and did a cheap test. BFN of course. Vivid dreams last night, cramps and tinges also. still tired in the day and with that comes moodiness. Itchy boobs and generally achy. Think I will have an early night tonight.

10dpo- What a day, never have i felt so rough. Not that I think this is anything to do with symptoms. I have been napping on and off today and feeling generally run down. Still have a bad cough. Symptom wise - I had aches in my lower back and lower cramps. Uncomfortable when I sit down suddenly, i get a shooting pain which takes my breath away. I am also peeing more than usual. I don't actually feel pregnant this time, in fact I have become doubtful. Doesn't help working in a store where maternity clothes are also sold and every woman coming to pay has a bump. Trying to think positive but its so hard. I have tested despite saying i wouldn't and of course BFN. Also over emotional which is a sign af is just around the corner.

11dpo- feeling a little better than yesterday. Kept myself busy most of the day. Twinges in lower abdomen and back. Not much very hungry. Wet creamy cm. Sneezing and peeing (once I sneezed and peed at the same time...oppps )

12dpo- Really weird dreams last night. Btw, I caved in to test at around 8pm and low and behold a faint bfp...I retested but nothing. Woke up with a really stuffy nose and it was also bloody on blowing. I am off out now to get more tests. Will update later on.

So.... when to the store with a spring in my step, bought tests, 2 cheap ones and 2 cb. On the way back, dreaming about my BFP, I felt something....got home and there she was, the witch!! Cried my eyes out, and now moving on. I dont think I was meant to have any more. Where is the ice cream???!!!

Ovulation - actually threw up (no idea why, ate the same as DH and he was fine, felt so dizzy and just off. maybe strong hormones who knows)
1dpo - Headache (painkillers didn't even dull it), nausea and backache
2dpo - Headache, bloated, cramps and could smell the dogs so strongly it made me wretch
3dpo - So irritable, snapped at the DH all day, was angry that people were sat on benches at a shopping centre - luckily DH found this funny. Headache, still sensitive smell - coffee made me want to throw up.
4dpo - backache, headache, heartburn, nausea, cramps.
5dpo - All of the above, including feeling dizzy and tired, but very interested in DH. BBT dipped today and cervix is still high but firmer and closed.
6dpo - Another bbt dip. Cramps, tired,
7dpo - BBT went back up to above the coverline. Cramps, spotting when checking cervix then when wiping later (sorry tmi ) as im a POAS addict i took my first test of the month and a very very faint line

Very scared it isn't true as its soo early, but im guessing the 2 day bbt drop and spotting was implanting. Didn't take a pic either so im going to wait till tonight/tomorrow morning and test again.

 

[MsJasmine]

Sounds promising kyrabeth! keep us updated please

1-6 dpo: Nothing
7 dpo: Felt tired, usually i'm a night owl but my eyelids were getting heavy on the couch after dinner
8 dpo: Sore/aching lower back. Mainly bothers me when I'm sitting down, feels better when I'm standing.
9 dpo: Lower back still sore, now mid-back also sore. Vivid dreams, but I often get these.
10 dpo: Lower back sore, mid back sore, and now neck is sore too. Can't think of a reason why I should be so sore. Still mainly bothers me when I'm sitting down. Somewhat decreased appetite today. Headrushes a couple of times while standing.
11 dpo: Lower back still sore, neck is fine now. No other symptoms, I usually get sore bbs before AF. However I have only been off BCP for a couple of months so my body may be acting up.
12 dpo: lower and mid back still sore. Feel warm today, but it could be my imagination and I can't verify as I haven't been temping.
13 dpo: lower and mid back still sore. Feeling really allergic today (congestion and itchy inner ears). By dinnertime, allergic symptoms developed into sore/scratchy throat and lots of congestion.
14 dpo: lower & mid back sore but not as bad. Sore throat/congestion continues. No sign of AF or my usual PMS symptoms. Tested today and got a BFN. Will continue to test every other day until AF arrives. Not sure what my cycles are like since it's only my second cycle off BCP.
15 dpo: lower back & hips feel worse today, really aching and it's hard to get comfortable when sitting. Throat still a bit off and still feel a little congested & hot but getting better.
16 dpo: Lower back & hip pain continues. Still congested but continue to get better.
17 dpo: Ditto 16 dpo. Also feeling a wave of nausea for the past 30 minutes that was accompanied by diarrhea (sorry TMI ) Ugh. If this is all just PMS for me this month I will not be happy!

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!

So I'm not 7 dpo and I've had a lot of tingly feeling in my uterus.
Yellowish mucus discharge on Saturday.
Tender breasts and sore nipples
Still having restless sleeps

To top all of this, I feel like I'm now getting sick.

Currently 11 dpo now and my main symptom is tiredness and slight cramping along with still feeling quite snuffly.

I POAS yesterday and had a BFN. Currently don't have any tests so will be waiting until next Friday (a week from today) to buy any more. AF is due Monday, so I guess I will need to wait and see.

So i don't have a daily update (currently 18 dpo), but until yesterday, not a lot had changed. I was still tired and cramping and grumpy and my boobs were sore and I wasn't sleeping.

Since yesterday I've felt amazing. I have all my energy back, I had a full nights sleep and my boobs have stopped tingling. Although, I have noticed that my left boob has become significantly bigger than my right it's not just slightly either, it's really noticeable!!!

I have noticed quite a lot of CM (TMI!!!), more than I've ever noticed, so much it feel's like AF is coming (the witch is currently 5 days late!!)

Did a test with FMU today and was a I just wish I would either get a or AF would start already.
