Hi all,

I got a BFP on Clearblue digi this morning at 15dpo. I am really hoping for a sticky one this time as last time (in March) i lost it after just a few days

I have had far less in the way of symptoms this time, but here's what I noticed:

1-5dpo: Some foods made me feel sick, strange metallic taste in my mouth (but could have been imagining this).
11-15dpo: Very tired some days (almost felt like I was going to fall asleep at my desk. Good thing I work at home so I could go for a quick siesta!) Other days I have been fine though.
Very hungry, almost every hour.
Bit of constipation.

That's about it so far really. Last time I had a lot more so I guess every pregnancy is different.

Good luck to everyone and hope you get your BFP soon

Feeling v.v. tired, copius amounts of CM blush, sore, tender and heavy breasts and mild cramps. Currently on 5 DPO.

Hi all. Updating the threads I've been on recently. AF got me yesterday 16 DPO and 5 days late for her start date. DH was so sad. It was terrible. I spotted through my undies (tmi sorry) first thing in the morning. I didn't feel it. He saw it. He told me and honest to God looked as if he might cry.

Please say a prayer for us. His birthday is August 25th. My fertile time begins August 4th thru the 8th (will use OPK to target it). I'd be due for AF again on Aug 21st. So, there's a possibility I could give him a BFP birthday gift. So please think of us. He lost his dad when he was young and wants so much to be a dad.

Thanks and baby dust to all of you wonderful ladies.

Hi ladies did anyone have like snot like cm gross I know but I had it and it looked like snot very very stretchy!!!! Is this a good sign or just normal??

 

[Venos13]

Mrsmmm, I'll be praying for you... I hope you can give your hubby the best birthday present ever. (my hubby also lost his dad when he was young, and he'll be such a good dad).

As to symptoms, I had the sore breast and very very sensitive nipples just before I got my bfp a year ago (which I lost after a week . I also had to pee so often I might as well live in the toilet. I was constantly tired and for few days before bfp it felt like af is coming big time (I actualy had a brown spot which made me think I got period, but that was it.

Now I'm on 9 dpo and we did everything right this month, so hoping for the best. No symptoms yet, except for thick/lumpy yellowish cm yesterday which I've heard can maybe be a symptom?! Not too sure.

Anyway, good luck to all.

Oh, I forgot to ask- did anyone feel short-breath or hard to take a deep breath before bfp?

 

[camishantel]

I had the snot like cm and very short of breath with my one in nov the one in march only the short of breath so every pregnancy is different... tonight I have major swelling in my ankles and feet which was my first sign with the one in nov so hoping this is good... as for cm for me this month has been sparse because I am on clomid.. I feel wet down there constantly but when I go to the bathroom nothing so maybe it is all on the inside??? I don't know I get weirded out trying to check that

Oh, I forgot to ask- did anyone feel short-breath or hard to take a deep breath before bfp?

Yes...progesterone can cause your diaphragm to relax, causing the short of breath feeling--had it sometime before my BFP, a few days after, and since getting my BFP, have had it several times. It's definitely a sign of higher progesterone in your system! Good Luck!

I wasn't on clomid, but thought I'd share that before I got my BFP and after I was pretty dry down below. I was surprised because everyone talked about increased CM as a pregnancy symptom...I'm only just starting to see an increase in CM, and I'm mid way between 5-6 weeks. And really it's hit or miss--some days there, and some days not.

I just got a faint BFP this afternoon & my husband & I are cautiously excited about the prospect of having our first baby after a chemical last month & an ectopic the month before which resulted in the removal of my right tube.

Each time I have been pregnant I have had exactly the same symptoms:
* huge, full-feeling boobs
* extremely dry mouth/lips
* very vivid dreams
* lots of lotiony milky cm
* dull cramps right down low that don't feel like AF

I had all of these on & off from 1dpo til today.

We've now just gotta make sure a) our gorgeous little one sticks & b) it's in the right place this time!

Baby dust to all!

I dont know why but I feel like this today....
