Thought I'd add mine *just in case* I see a BFP this month. AF is due today and there is no sign of her yet...and my BBT looked hopeful.

Cramping that feels different - off to one side, kind of a mixture between AF cramps and ov pains
Sore/Sensitive BBS - nipples verrrrrrry sensitive...occasional stabbing pains and tenderness on the sides...but mostly nipples. I get sore BBS after O but its usually never in the nipples completely
Frequent trips to the potty - Just abotu every 20 mins I have the urge to go
Headache - dull and constant...occasionally its gotten intense, but I'm prone to headaches anyways and have been sick for a week
Cramping turned closer to AF type cramping but still towards one side instead of the middle
Very tired - past two days I've taken a 3 hour nap midday (also sick)

I think those are the big ones. Hoping this is my BFP.

What a fun thread.
I am 10 dpo today. AF due Sunday or Monday.

I am using progesterone suppositories so it is hard to distinguish the side effects from possible pregnancy symptoms. I have had 3 early losses this year, and so our fertility doc hopes the Progesterone will help.

The last 3 times I have felt pretty sure I was pregnant before i got my bfp's. This month has felt very similar, but I don't want to get my hopes up.

I have slightly sensitive boobs but that migth just be from all the prodding I am doing to check if they are sensitive, ha ha.

The past few days I have been really thirsty, and have been drinking gallons of apple juice because it hits the spot. I have also noticed that when I get hungry I get REALLY hungry and have a growling belly. Last night I woke up starving and with my tummy making the loudest weirdest gurgles!

I have also been getting tired in the mid afternoon no naps so far but def. yawning and heavy feeling all over my body.

Been cramping and feeling some pressure which would be early for AF but could be her just being annoying.

Today I have this cold sensation int he back of my mouth and throat, I have never had heartburn but when I described what was happening to a fried who gets it a lot she said that it sounded like how she feels, so I guess heartburn is a symptom too.

Who knows. My bbt;'s are not rising though which feels like a bad sign. Hoping not though and that we get our Christmas miracle!

Good luck ladies!

I got my BFP friday, and i just wanted to add my noticable 'symptoms' So you can all keep an eye on your own.

extra creamy cm on panties! loads of it compared to usual, then it stopped 3 days before BFP
Cramps still, just like period..
Headaches
wasnt getting to sleep as easy as i usual did
and a little feeling in the pit of my stomach, just blah. everytime i ate, and even when i didnt.. for about 2.5 weeks, so poss from day of OV.
Lower back pain
dihhorea for 2 days before BFP..

Good luck to all you other ladies.
I genuinly believe i got lucky so quick because i was so positive the majority of the time. I would have days were doubt hit me like a tonne of bricks, but at 3 dpo, i told my mum.. i know we'v done it. I just know it, i feel different.

And its true, not just symptoms.. not at all. I just knew. I felt like a different person. I felt warm and fuzzy!

Hi ladies, I'm new here and a bit baffled... I have had two previous miscarriages( a few years ago) - I got pregnant while actually on the pill, one at 8 weeks and one at 6 weeks. I have been on Yasmin for two years and we have decided to come off it and try I took my last pill on the 11th Nov, but was on antibiotics for the next five days. I had a small amount of breakthrough bleeding on the 12th and 13th Nov and then NOTHING. Well, I say nothing...I have been nauseous, sore boobs, cracked nipples with much bigger white bumps (i forget their name), sore back, funny taste in my mouth, tea and milk makes me boke, cramping (which felt the same as when I was pregnant before), constipation and for the last two days a sharp shooting pain lower abdo area. The thing is, assuming that bleed was a 'real' bleed, which I KNOW it wasn't, that would mean I was about 2 weeks po. Wouldn't it??? But I did 4 tests last week and another today and all BFN Is my body just tricking me? Anyone else had trouble since coming off yasmin? I have a doctor appointment on Wed to get my bloods done... x

I THINK i ovulated end of Nov as I had EWCM, and since I have had super creamy CM for the last two weeks... Sob, what is going on?

i feel different!
i have a ache in tummy all time but nothing major...
i keep getting hunger feeling in tummy aswell even though not hungry... sooo strange

 

[Babywisher19]

keeping my fingers crossed for you. As soon as i got my bfp i phoned my mum and said.. i told you! she picked me up from a first aid course the day i got back from my hols and the day after i Ov'd and i said.. i just know it! and she said i was over thinking it and it wasnt possible!

I showed her! LOL but i have tricked myself before! so its hard to say. . but i did. I just knew.. then the massive doubt would hit me and id feel so sad. Id really told myself it would be a BFN when i tested. Nearly fell off the flipping loo!

 

[Gemmamumof2]

lmao...
hoping its not my mind.. but i think ive felt like this b4 i was quite far along in my pregnancies before as was never 'trying' ... but this time i cant explain i jus feel different

Hi i am new here and ashamed to say very ignorant when it comes to this.
We have been trying to conceive for 6 months now, trying not to get obsessed but stuggling wiith that also. I have very irregular cycles and the ovulating sticks dont seem to work for me? If this month is a 28 cycle who knows?) then i am 13 days past ovulation with period due tomorrow but with irregular cycles who knows? I have been very bloated recently, swollen and tender lower tummy, soreish boobs ( but i have been prodding alot) twingy light pains in the lower tummy right side, a home test said negative today but i;m telling myself its too early. Can anyone tell me if i'm going mad or if this sounds hopeful?

Hi Ladies,

I just got my yesterday at 13 DPO and this thread has been brilliant for me to stalk. I kept a list of my symptoms, so I'm posting them here - hope it helps.

to all of you.

1 DPO: Dry CM, mild ache in legs (I get this with AF pains), twitches (like butterflies) in abdomen. Sharp pain in addomen and pains in BBs.

2 - 3 DPO: Dry CM, sore hips (like AF pains)

4 DPO - Same butterfly-type twitching in abdomen, bloody taste in mouth on and off

5 DPO - As above - pee smells different?

6 DPO - Headache - like a tension headache. I never normally get that.

7 DPO - Hips and back ache like AF is arriving early. Brown/pink stained CM, lots of spots on face. I think this was the day the egg implanted.

8 DPO - I had really bad AF cramps on this day. Exactly the same as period pain. I was sure we were out this month. Sore nipples started on this day - can't bear them to be touched and they are still like that now. I also had really bad cramp in my thumb (don't know if this is related, but it kept me awake!)

9 DPO - Runny/stuffy nose on and off, achy legs, sore nips. with cheap brand test from £1 shop (2 in the pack). Read the leaflet and it says "For best results use 1 week after missed period"

10 - 11 DPO - Runny/stuffy nose, headache, sore nips, tired, dry CM. I also think that my veins are up on my BBs but DH is not so sure, same with my montogomery's tubercles - I was certain they were protruding more than usual. Used the other test from the pound shop pack, purely because it was Christmas Day!

12 DPO - Tired - but also having trouble sleeping at night. That is not usual for me, I normally sleep like a log. TMI - I had a massive glob of thick snotty-like CM on this day. Weird. Nips still sore, feel niggles and pulls in abdomen.

13 DPO - All as above. Tested in the afternoon. Went to cheap shop B&M, and got a pack of 25miu tests - 3 for 99p bargain! I literally thought that AF would be there as I sat on the loo. I just felt out and exactly like my period was coming - really I was only testing because I am a POAS addict! As I walked upstairs to the loo I was thinking, "Oooh 99p for 3 from B&M, I'll have to stock up on these..."

came up within 1 minute. Couldn't believe it. So I waited half an hour, and did the other two with fresh pee - positive again, both of them!

Today - 14 DPO - Pregnancy begins! I have hardly slept a wink all night, niggling, pulling sensations in abdomen, still some hip ache but no AF cramps. My boobs are still sore and I have felt sick all night. I just got up at 6.15am to eat left over beef fried rice and a glass of milk!! I am off work as well, so I know that this is where our pregnancy journey begins!


I hope this has been helpful, ladies. I stalked this page for days leading up to my positives, and my husband even said I shouldn't because I would be putting symptoms into my head!

The main clues for me this month were the spots, sleeplessness, headache, implantation bleeding and heavy AF cramps at 8 DPO. Other than that, I usually have backache, tiredness and bloody taste in mouth during the 2WW. I guess you have to read what is normal for you.

Good luck ladies, and I hope that I have been of some help!!
