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

[BABTTC123]

Bump!
I want to keep watch on this thread. I have PCOS so tracking my O is super hard but I am currently late and have been kind of spotting for a few days.
First day was noticeable brown cm.
Second day had some bright red lightly mixed in.
Third day nothing when wiped but when I checked otherwise it was very soft brown.
Fourth day (today) hardly any brown in cm.
No cramping during all of this but have been nauseas but associated it with metformjn eve though it has been recent and pretty bad. Past few days I have had a sore throat and stuffy nose. Tested the other day and bfn. After reading quite a few bfp posts I now have ly fingers crossed that I will get mine!!

1DPO: Nothing at all; feel normal and good. Temp rise not at all where I would like it to be... very slight.
2DPO: Nothing. Temp still not making me happy... only a small rise, again.
3DPO: Weird twinges in my left side that I was trying to ignore. Got my FF crosshairs confirming O, even with the wimpy temps... little higher today, still not where I want them. Kinda watery CM.
4DPO: More watery CM. Temp staying even. Vivid dreams @ night.
5DPO: Temp STILL exactly the same (thermometer is working; I temped later and it was different). Weird bloat-y, cramp-y feeling in my tummy this morning -- probably due to the junk I ate the day before. Ha. Rather tired all day long... nearly fell asleep on my lunch break! Tiny bit of sticky-ish CM.
6DPO: Boobs NOT sore at all. This is weird. Normally I can feel the sore boobs coming on on 6DPO, and they hurt like hell from 7-9DPO, then again a day or two before AF. Nothing at all today yet. Bit of CM, sticky-ish, creamy-ish? Hard to say. Temps all screwed up, due to school starting and DW's alarm going off at 5:15am and waking me up from now on LOL (usually temp at 6am)... school starts Monday, so she's getting ready by getting up early this weekend. Not relying on temps to tell me anything else this cycle. Those damn left-side twinges are back. Gums bled a little when brushing this evening. Also... took a nap at 4ish (waking up at 5:15am will do that!), and when I woke up, I was so hungry that I was nauseated and almost threw up from it. I ate three freakin' pieces of leftover pizza PLUS two plums before I felt better. Not sure if that had to do with my eating schedule being screwed up, or what, but it was mega unpleasant. Vivid dreams @ night.
7DPO: Temped at my normal time today, nice high temp. Happy now Boobs STILL not sore. Very unusual. Also, I've been super congested for about 4 days, but I'm attributing that to allergies... DW's been miserable, too. More sticky-ish, creamy-ish CM. Really thirsty today. Bleeding gums again when I brushed at night. More tired than normal... writing this from bed at 9:30pm, been wanting to sleep since 6:30... turning in for the night in a second. *yawn*
8DPO: Despite my exhaustion last night, didn't sleep a wink. Boobs still not sore at all. Don't know if they're heavier/fuller, or if it's my imagination. More creamy/sticky CM. Boobs starting to feel a bit sensitive/tender by the end of the day, but nothing really notable. Random twinges/pain throughout abdomen and lower back all day.
9DPO: Didn't sleep well again last night, but when I did, I had vivid dreams. Boobs a little bit tender, but nothing I'd call sore. Tested with FMU on a Target-brand early response HPT, BFN.... thought I saw a shadow of something, but I think I have line-eye, haha... definitely calling it BFN. Boobs sore by evening. Swollen, too. Itchy.
10DPO: Woke up with painful, swollen boobs and swollen-looking veins in my nipples. Classic PMS. Odd pains in my boobs and in my back. Definitely feel like the witch is on her way. Should start spotting on Friday; get AF by Monday. Tired today. Low appetite. Stomach feels overly full & bloaty. Ugh. Super hot today, so I'm attributing the tiredness & appetite to the weather. A little TMI, but DW and I DTD tonight, and she said that I felt different inside, like swollen/puffy and not very wet, which is really unusual for me. I was also sore afterwards, which never happens.
11DPO: Boobs still a bit swollen and painful, but nowhere near as bad as they usually get. Talked myself out of testing again this morning, haha. Around 5pm, got awful shooting cramps all through my left side. Had to lay down and stretch and nothing seemed to work. Finally went away. By evening, my boobs were incredibly painful... felt like that usual pre-AF stuff that I get, only a little later than normal.
12DPO: Woke up with boobs actually feeling a bit better. Tested BFN with FMU. Definitely feeling out. Also woke up with sharp pains in my pelvis and lower back. Was feeling hopeful before I took the HPT, because I never get anything like that, or the pains the day before, with AF. Expecting to start spotting today, as usual, but nothing yet. Still early in the day. Started spotting around 10pm. Sure I'm out. Cramps all day. Had to sleep with a hot water bottle. Never, ever get menstrual cramps. So weird.
13DPO: more cramps. Slept with the hot water bottle again. Ugh. I never have a menstrual cramp in my life, and this is day two. Awful. Still spotting. Big temp drop today. Witch is coming for sure. Super emotional and irritable. Sensitive boobs but not too bad.
14DPO: temp shot back up .4?? Whatever. Still spotting. Vivid dreams last night but didn't sleep well. So far no more cramps. Wish AF would hurry up. Boobs still a little sensitive but not terrible.
15DPO: The spotting continues. Boobs are feeling better -- AF is on her way.
16DPO: More spotting. This is annoying. I hate when she delays like this... but at least my boobs don't hurt!

Just updating to turn my post red... the witch arrived today... late, but in grand, ugly fashion

Onto next cycle!

Damn that witch! I'm sorry!! Best of luck next month!

Has anyone ever gone from no appetite to being so hungry you feel feel nauseous and ended up with a ?

 

[BABTTC123]

Has anyone ever gone from no appetite to being so hungry you feel feel nauseous and ended up with a ?

That is what is happening to me! Well with a twist.. Either I will be completely repulsed of food to where I can't even stand looking at or smelling it, or I will be soooo hungry that I feel like vomiting. Along with that my stools have been loose. As I have said, I am associating it with metformin because I have had issue with it in the past but I am still hoping for a bfp.. What symptoms are you having?

 

[BrittBS]

Here's mine! Hoping to change it to GREEN soon!
Not a whole lot of symptoms!

1dpo- cramps
2dpo- cramps
3dpo- cramps, gassy
4dpo- spotting
5dpo- twinges
6dpo-twinges, spotting
7dpo- weird stabbing pain deep in pelvic area, extremely irritable today, tons of creamy cm
8dpo- more of the sharp stabbing pains, bb's feel a little achy ( could be imagining it though) lol, nips are a little sensitive
9dpo- more pains, tested with frer,
10dpo- nothing, on frer again, feeling very discouraged
11dpo- nothing, feeling out
12dpo- nothing
13dpo- showed

That is exactly it! And my stools have been either super lose or im completely constipated. On top of that I keep getting headaches and get dizzy easily and am very bloated. Im so confused this month has been very different than ever before.

 

[BABTTC123]

Exactly!! Well it makes me feel better that I am not alone! Hubby thinks I am pg but I am too stubborn to retest yet.. I am tempted to get a stronger test and seeing what it says. The cheapies might not be cutting it and may be lying to me. Lol fingers crossed that we all get our bfp's!! How long have you been TTC?

 

[mmafro]

I think I'm out ladies. ...bbs arent tender anymore

 

[BABTTC123]

I think I'm out ladies. ...bbs arent tender anymore

I don't think they have to stay sore the entire time.. You could have just gotten used to the pain so now you don't notice it, or it just isn't as intense as it was so it isn't noticeable. As long as AF hasn't shown I wouldn't count you out

Same here I am trying to only rest once a week. When my hubby and I miscarried before, I didn't get a bfp until I was about 8 weeks along so I am trying to stay patient. Another new thing for me is my nipples are constantly hard. DH and I have actually been trying not to get pregnant so although this was originally unplanned, we think we want to start trying if im not pregnant already

 

[mmafro]

Sounds more promising than me. I broke down and tested again because spotting stopped towards the evening yesterday. DH and I bd'd so that I could put it to the test and see if it would bring on AF today but I still completely clear. Test was bfn as usual, but I still haven't bought a good test so I am going to do that today and have my DH hide all the tests from me lol!

[TTCinKC]

A couple of days prior to ovulation, I had VIVID dreams of BD the DH which told me O was just around the corner. Days leading up to O my libido was off the charts crazy! lol...

1dpo - 2dpo: watery/clear cm, right nip a little sore

3dpo - 4dpo: creamy cm, right nip still a little sore and dry, tired and fatigued, could have slept all day. Took a two-hour nap and STILL was tired throughout the day. Also always needing to pee! Going every 30 mins or so (not normal for me even though I regularly drink a lot of water and never had this before. No pain, burning, or itching). Feeling full and bloated all the time. SO moody, irritable, depressed even? Extreme food cravings.

5dpo: cervix high/soft/closed. Creamy cm. Insane urge to pee--UTI? Have had those before, there is no burning or itching this time--but bought Cystex anyway which did help a little bit, but the urge is still there which usually isn't the case. When taking cystex, the urge will go away until the meds wear off. Map of blue veins showed up tonight right before bed. Extremely irritable for no apparent reason. Nips still sensitive--especially the right one.

6dpo: Upon waking, noticed ALL previous symptoms had disappeared. Sore nips, map of blue lines, insane urge to pee, moodiness, everything. No cm & cervix feels harder than it did last night.

7dpo: No symptoms. Creamy cm. Did feel a very mild cramp--implantation cramp or constipation cramp? Been eating like crap this weekend so constipation cramp is likely. Feeling 'wet' down there, but no cm on panties. Had a couple dizzy episodes that came out of nowhere. Did get a very low grade of nausea late tonight while watching a movie with DH not long after taking sleep aid (never happened before).

8dpo: Cream cm. Started feeling a very low grade of nausea early, early this morning while watching a movie with DH (12am). Feeling very 'wet' down there again. After waking up and drinking half my Shakeology and all of the Spark, started to feel slightly nauseated. Related to drinks? Don't recall feeling like that before. Stomach upset and have diarrhea-like stools. Again, could be the crappy diet over the weekend. Having dizzy spells again--is it the caffeine from the spark? It isn't a lack of food--had 1/2 of Shakeo which is appx 150-200 calories (for half). Sharp stabbing-like pains on left side around ovary that comes and goes. Slightly achy on lower left back.

9dpo: Creamy cm. Nothing else to report except the feeling of having a UTI came back without the burning--took Cystex & it went away. I don't feel pregnant at all and think I'm out this cycle

10dpo: Dry cm--no symptoms. Absolutely nothing to report

11dpo: Feeling very weepy today. Just want to cry. Too much over-stimulation maybe? Also VERY tired, even after taking a 2-hr nap this morning. About to take another one. Mildly nauseated. Some general muscle aches.

12dpo: Felt nauseated before I even ate or drank ANYTHING this morning--including the spark so the nausea isn't from the spark or shakeo. I'm extremely tired--had a very hard time teaching CSI today--got winded very easily even after drinking half of shakeo. Still have muscle aches, slight dizziness, EXTREMELY sad and weepy. Is AF coming in a couple of days, or are these preg symptoms? No sore boobs--just the occasional ache and pang. Nips are't sore at all.

13dpo: Dry cm. Still feeling weepy which isn't a normal sign of AF for me. Low-grade nausea especially after eating. Muscle aches, getting winded pretty easily while teaching Turbo Kick. AF is due tomorrow. Feeling like I might be getting a cold sore--which if I am, will make two months in a row (I usually only get them once every two or three years). Got a cold sore last month a few days before AF showed.

14dpo: AF is due today. Felt some possibly AF-related cramps right after 12 am. Had a hard time sleeping--uncharacteristically hot, nauseated, and feeling like my bladder was full even though I'd go to the bathroom and hardly anything would come out. Sporadically felt some dull aching in my bbs (normal sign of AF).

15dpo: Still no AF. Had consistent cramps early this morning. Took an HPT--BFN. Experienced low-grade nausea in the morning before I eat (not normal). Nothing else to report except the occasional boob ache.

16dpo: AF finally showed at 7am. Only two days late this cycle--last cycle it was 1 week late. Had a m/c in late July and apparently m/c can cause cycles to get wacky for a time afterwards. Hopefully I'll be back on track next cycle to 29 days.

Will update this thread every couple of days until I get either the BFP or AF. FX!
