Symptoms Help

[littledolphie]

Hi Ladies, Me again. I am still waiting for my BFP (hopefully)

Anyway i have been on site after site that lists symptoms...but i think many common symptoms are not on them.

Care to share your earliest symptoms with those of us who are not yet sure we are pregs??

Thanks so much

Sara

Tiredness and tender nipples was the first for me...then came the morning sickness after my BFP.

Good luck xxx

I had just pasted my symptoms in my journal, so I still have it copied. Here ya go and good luck!

Ovulation - spotting after BD. cramps and diarrhea.
1 DPO - temp spike. Woke with sore throat and stuffy nose. Rash-type breakout on face..grr!
2 DPO - temp still rising. Very sore throat/nose. Slight brown spotting. CM changed to creamy. Slight cramps and increased appetite (normal for me after O)
3 DPO - Very scant cm..sticky. Cramps/headache.
4 DPO - Throat still slightly sore..nose slightly stuffy. Dull cramping, so light that I think I'm imagining it. Major headache. Feeling negative about this cycle..
5 DPO - Yellow-tinged creamy cm..still not a lot like everyone mentions though. Had a dream about cheese fries and HAVE to make them. Starting to have jaw pain/tooth pain on one side. ??? A bit gassy. Breasts just starting to feel a little sore..which is normal for me, only it's a tiny bit early for this.
6 DPO - Still gassy..hungry. Annoyed and feeling like this isn't gonna be our month again. Sigh.
7 DPO - Temp dip today. Cold seems to be coming back..feel stuffy and can hear it in my voice. Kinda tired..very hungry. Increased sex drive and sore ish boobs still. Nothing out of ordinary though.
8 DPO - Temp stayed the same..kinda low ish. Disappointed cuz I want it to be a ID! Left boob is really sore...the bumps in the road killed me. Im a little excited! No food tastes good. Headache and toothache are killing me. Refuse to take anything for it though, just in case! Constipated. Are my nipples larger? Hmm. Now I'm really grasping.
9 DPO - Temp went back up a little...didn't sleep well cuz the toothache. Had a bad stomachache like with diarrhea but was constipated. Big cramps Left boob still very sore under armpit. Felt a little nauseated this morning before I ate something. Am I imagining it?? Spotting after BD tonight. Never happened before..other than the once at ovulation.
10 DPO - BAD toothache/headache. Both boobs a bit sore, not crazy but enough to tell.
11 DPO - Scant cm..some creamy. Boobs not as sore. Definitely am not pregnant. Spotting after BD again. AF starting?
12 DPO - Temp drop. Feeling pissed off at the world. Hate everyone and everything GRR GRR. Am I peeing more? Tooth pain is gone. Bought a couple tests, just because I'm an addict and couldn't wait any longer. Took one in the evening.. BFP??!! OMG. Faint but there..hyperventilation and tears.
13 DPO - FMU - another BFP! Woke DH up at 8 am to take me to do a blood test. Few hrs later, confirmed. HcG 146!

i think many girls will probably agree.....the actual time they were pregnant they had a disctinct lack of symptoms !!

The cycle before i fell pregnant i had every symptom under the sun ( i now know it was my body fooling me !!)......only symptoms i had up til 6 weeks were ...over emotional ( crying at the drop of a hat !) ,.....and sore boobs ( which i get every time AF is coming anyway ) !!

So ...i suppose i am trying to say.....i wouldnt bother sysmptom spotting.... did no good for me !!

Good luck.....Ooooh ....my best advice is to temp.....i wouldnt be pg without doing this !xx

 

[PeaceLoveBaby]

I totally agree on the temp'ing thing..This was my first cycle temping and tah dah

I didn't have any symptoms really... maybe my normal PMS symptoms weren't as bad as usual but honestly nothing stands out. I took a test because I had a doctor's appointment that morning and was SHOCKED when I saw a faint bfp!
Immediately after the bfp I became quite tired and continued to have mild PMS symptoms like a sore back for a week or so. It wasn't until this week - 6 1/2 weeks pregnant - that I am noticing real symptoms like sore nipples and nausea. I always thought I would 'know' when it finally happened (we had been trying for a while), but I didn't.

 

[LilDreamy]

I really didn't have many symptoms at all.

My breast weren't sore, and I didn't start getting exhausted until after I found out I was preg at like 5-6 weeks.

All I had was bloatedness, and headaches.

I just POAS just for fun... and ohh what a shock!

Oh yea... and for some reason I was really depressed for no apparent reason, not sure if that was a symptom or not. :/

More than anything I felt like my period was coming on. I had horrible period cramps. But that's it!

 

[LALSmith]

My earliest & probably most noticable symptom was feeling hungry! It was like in the pit of my stomach there was the biggest hole!! Lol. Even when i had eaten, a little while after id feel starving again. Horrible feeling actually because even though your not, you just feel SO empty! It's like a firm tuggy in your stomach! But other than that, thats about it..

 

[littledolphie]

I am just very frusterated but afraid to bother taking another test yet since the last one was negetive.

I am 13 days late and the few symptoms i do have come and go.

 

[LALSmith]

Gosh, i wouldn't be able to wait that long - it'd drive me insane! It was bad enough waiting until 4 weeks! lol i tested at 3+4 and day my AF was due & got 2 positives. I dont know how you do it. Surely now after 13 days you would get a positive result now? Are your periods irregular usually? When did you last test?

 

[littledolphie]

I have had a perfect 28 day cycle for as long as i can remember. the last time i was late for no reason was years ago and at the time i was not sexually active. My last test was Negetive on Friday of last week (9 days late) but still no AF and i am getting more sysmptoms.

I started this thread because i worry they are just in my head ESPECIALLY because they are not constant.

Also...it IS driving me insane LMAO.

And does anyone know...is the fact that my hubby is getting on my last nerve for no real reason a symptom? hahaha

 

[Ash_xoxo]

Unless you have your dates wrong and you ovulated later, I think you would be able to see a positive by now. I got my first positive two days before I officially missed my period. A week later it was a VERY clear positive. Maybe you should see your doctor? that would be the easiest way to know for sure.
Good luck!

 

[littledolphie]

I know my math isnt off. And i know for most people a positive would have come up by now but there has to be a reason i have missed my period. *shrugs* we will see.

 

[PeaceLoveBaby]

There's always that rare case where you don't get a positive for a very long time after AF is due.

Can you have a blood test done maybe?

 

[littledolphie]

I dont know if my Dr will do one yet. Worst case though, if my doc wont and i still have no AF by next monday i will go to the ER. i hate to do that though.

But hey, they give one for females for EVERYTHING just about lol.

 

[ILoveShoes]

I had sore boobs, and could smell a horrid smell in the kitchen (like bad food!)

When we were ttc, I went a couple of months without having a period. I had a blood test done, and that came back negative. On the same day I got those test results, my period arrived! There was no reason for it whatsoever.

[Novbaby08]

Some people test late, like me, I don't test positive before like 4.5-5.5 weeks. So don't feel bad, just test and if negative wait a few days and test again.

 

[littledolphie]

Thanks Novbaby08.

we will see what happens. I know sometimes AF just comes late, but in my life that is a rare thing.

My skin went to pot! My nipples were sore, my breasts felt heavy and extreme fatigue.
