This thread is AMAZING
I am on my first cycle of clomophine (i think its pretty much same as clomid)
any way I was told that it is really unlikely that i ovulated this cycle as my progesterone levels were to low (2.2 when they should have been greater than 30)
any way I am still testing but so far all
as i have the following going on and opinions:
* lower back ache
* stuffy nose (i am waiting for a full blown cold but nothing happening)
* all wet feeling down stairs
* bloated lower abdomen, i mean my clothes are all feeling tight (that could be just pure weight gain tho
* headaches just constant dull headaches
* peeing more frequently
* and i have had a major breakout on my chest
I just don't know if its all in my head or if it really could have happened

Phew! I've just finished reading the WHOLE thread! It's taken me about 6 weeks or more in bits and pieces.
So I know this is kind of for those who have had BFPs to share symptoms, but I also know a lot of you gals hopefully add symptoms pre testing, which is what I'm doing.
I think we dtd on ov day and 4 days before, so a little thin on the ground, but I'm hoping the timing part was crucial.
Since about 2/3 dpo I had mild af type cramping every day for nearly a week. They've gone now. I've had creamy cm; nothing out of the ordinary in quantity, but I usually get brown cm from day 20/21 (latest was cd25) - I'm cd22 today and still having normal cm, but I've also been taking flaxseed oil since 5dpo so it could be that. 1-2 dpo I was also mega-tired and lethargic. Yesterday and today I've woken up feeling ever so slightly nauseous and very hungry.
Underside of left (.) is itchy??
Won't be testing until next Saturday, assuming af stays away, but wondered what the thinking was. I've also been trying really hard to use positive thinking and visualisation this cycle, so it'll be interesting to see if it's helped at all.

Hi everyone, i am currently 9DPO, i dont have an exact breakdown of symptoms as i said i wouldn't symptom spot everything (yeah right), i was extremely emotional on 6DPO like crying every few mins, am gassy (TMI) and have had the odd shooting pain in right boob! But this morning we DTD and my DH said that i felt different (bigger alot of fluid) sorry TMI, now i am a little bit itchy almost like thrush (havent had this in years!), this is the only thing different this month!

This thread has helped me through the last two weeks so much, so I wanted to add my 
symptoms. I used opk's and pre seed this month, and I believe both of these things really helped me along.
I ovulated a day or so later than normal this month, so I am hoping my dpo's are right.
1-3dpo - Nothing
4 dpo - Mood Swing (not normal for me)
5 dpo - Mood Swing again (really not normal!)
6 dpo - Nothing
7 dpo - Metallic taste (wouldn't have notice if I wasn't paying attention)
8 dpo - Cramps (to early for me to be cramping)
9 dpo - Few Cramps
10 dpo - Nothing
11 dpo - Nothing
12 dpo - Cramps are back ( think Af is coming for a visit )
13 dpo - took hpt just because I hadn't started yet in early am, even though it was early and got my 
Went about bought three more test, just to be sure! All were 
Sore bb's started today and increased thrist.
14 dpo - Took one more test just to be sure again, and still +. Sore bb's again and starting to feel a little nausea.
All along I was worried this wasn't my month because I didn't have sore bb's or lots of cm early on. Also, no implantation bleed.
Good Luck to everyone!!!!!!!

Got my this morning. 
wasnt due until the 18th but I had a feeling I had some symptoms that were so easy to spot for me that I had to take the test:
Sore boobies (almost immediately)
Cranky
lower back ache
Couldnt sleep
Bloody nose
Diarrhea (sorry-TMI)
Itchy throat and stuffy nose
Cramps arrived more than a week before af was due which wasnt normal
I usually get sore boobies before she arrives however they were sore way before I was due.

I love this thread! I'm only 5dpo and have no signs/symptoms yet, but hopefully that will change. I didn't find out I was pregnant with my son right away (nearly 5 yrs ago) so I have no clue what early signs I had, if any. This waiting is no fun!

Hey my af is due on the 29th but I've got REALLY sore bbs and I've broken out I'm spots on my face and chin which I've never suffered from. I'm also really achy at the bottom of my back and my shoulders. Hopefully I'll be getting a BFP! Has anyone else had shoulder aches? I haven't really had cramps just feel generally uncomfortable xx

i have a question i took my temp around 1230 today it was 97.7..and i took it just now cuz i felt warmer and it was 98.3 no fever but is that a good sign? i hopeeeee lol
Hi. AF is currently 8 days late, got achey boobs, shivers, increased thirst/hunger (which of course creates the need to pee, though sometimes I'm on the loo every 5 minutes...) odd feeling down below, almost like a kick/muscle spasm, constant headache, and my nose is clear, which is odd for me, as it's normally stuffed up. I ate something earlier which normally fills me for hours, but I was hungry again almost half an hour later..
Hoping for a BFP, been trying for 3years now! x

Hi, everyone. I just got my BFP last week, so I figured I'd add my early symptoms.
Before af was due, my brests were really sensative, and it didn't go away as af date approched as it usually does. They were and still are like poking a bruse. It started in the arm pit area but has since become the whole Brest. And Nipples were and still are at attention all the time.
A week after af was due. I am starting to feel slightly sick, after eating certain things.

I am 3 days past O, I have been feeling cramps like period pains but weaker where you would normally have pains this goes around to my back and down my legs, It isnt painful but i know its there it doesnt last for very long either, i have started to feel nausious towards the evening but havent been sick and have been getting headaches and am very tired. Could I be pregnant or is it too early to know? XXX

Hi,
I am about 6 weeks pregnant and just found out. Have read this forum so many times, so figured I should contribute now. I apologize in advance for the length, but I used to really appreciate details when I was looking before, so hope someone finds this useful!
The only thing that was consistently and noticeably different from this cycle and all the others where I was "sure" I was pregnant was that my breasts started to get sore immediately (the week after my period), starting with incredibly sensitive nipples without the breasts themselves being sore (after a few days the nipple sensitivity went away and my breasts just hurt), and have stayed that way the entire time. Other cycles I would have a few days of soreness and then a few days where I wasn't sure if they were sore, etc. This time, there was no debate at all - they hurt all the time! The soreness changed - for the first few weeks it was the whole breast and really sore, then it kind of moved to the sides and got sharper, the last two weeks it has been sharper and more felt like there were harder pieces inside the breasts, so when I lay down on my stomach it felt like I was being poked. Crappy.
Other symptoms:
1) around conception/implantation, I was sitting down to pack a suitcase and suddenly felt this weird thing in my uterus - couldn't even describe it (a burrowing? a scrape? a tug?) - that passed within a moment but I thought - well, if I were pregnant, that was definitely the baby digging in.
2) around week 2 I spent an entire night vomiting; figured I had a stomach bug because I slept the next day and wasn't sick anymore
3) around week 4 I had a terrible headache for about 2 days. Never get headaches unless I am about to get sick but I wasn't getting sick, just had this aching head.
4) from week 4-5.5 was pretty dizzy all the time. I get that sometimes but haven't had it for a while so was kind of surprised
5) around week 5, had a few days of being totally, completely, loopy. Couldn't concentrate, felt like the world wasn't real, tried to make coffee but forgot to put the coffee in and poured myself a cup of hot water instead before I realized my mistake
6) week 4.5-6, totally went off alcohol. Not a huge drinker but like to have some occasionally. Went off beer first - completely! it tasted disgusting - so I opted for wine instead, which was fine. Then went off everything. Tried to drink a rum punch the other day and couldn't get past 2 sips. barf.
7) week 5/6, more vomiting. But I was on a tiny overnight boat in choppy waters - never been seasick before, but it sure made sense for that occasion. Still, a bit unusual.
8) week 2 and week 4, had weird food dreams and I don't think I have EVER dreamed about food before. First one I was chowing through some vanilla ice cream like there was no tomorrow. Second one I was helping my aunt buy huge pans full of gooey delicious foods - cherry cobbler and mashed potatoes with gravy - all very excessive and indulgent kinds of things. When I woke up both times I wasn't craving the foods themselves.
9) weeks 2-6, the dreams. Aside from the food thing, every night I have been having unusually intense and specific dreams and remembering them. I tend to remember my dreams usually but this was more consistent and the dreams were odder and more precise than even I am used to.
10) weeks 2-6 but varying - smells. Not too bad but couldn't stand smoke (which I usually don't like anyway), meat (again, I'm vegetarian, so not a huge fan) and my boyfriend (!) (who usually smells just fine but starting around that first vomiting episode, I've had multiple days of feeling nauseated from his normally nice smell. blagh. Have not shared this with him.
11) week 5-6, craving carbs. I wanted a huge plate of pasta the other night. Then pancakes. Then craving rice. Hungrier in general week 5
12) week 6, nausea. All the time. Thanks, little half-pea.
13) other random things - week 3/4/5, my knees felt oddly wobbly and out of joint. Random. My exercising routine was harder than normal - I just felt generally weaker. I could still make it through but wasn't able to go as hard and didn't feel as good after-wards as I usually do. Weight gain of about 10 pounds but pretty sure this has way more to do with my completely excessive food intake the past two months than the pregnancy. That being said, even with exercise, the extra pounds don't seem to want to go anywhere, when normally I can get them off more easily. And weeks 4-6, pretty emotional/pissy, though chalked it up to the period that in fact...did not come. Also had a day of dark bleeding (not even a third of a tampon's worth) week 6, with plenty of light cramping. Week 5 and 6 in general had cramping and achiness that could have been period coming...

Oh, and I forgot week 3-4, I had terrible heartburn and acid for daaaaaaays. NEVER have this - not ever. It was awful. Didn't matter what I ate, if I ate, if I didn't eat. Nothing mattered.
My symptoms
I didnt keep track of what days symptoms occured, but ive tried them in order chronologically (as i remember them anyway) then i hope they will be of use to other ladies out there, just as you were all of help to me when i was trying to figure it all out!
- around 4/5 days after conception got a terrible head cold. Mega runny nose, bit of a tickly cough & a headache. No explanation for it as the ship is a closed environment and noone else onboard had a cold!
- throughout have had minor twinges and cramping similar to period pains. BUT really really mild. My period pains often have me doubled over and crying at times, but these were just a dull ache.
- first week a lot of CM. Knickers feeling wet, thought period had arrived on several occasions. Clear and watery, not a slippery or sticky.
- last few days, still wet feeling, but CM is more creamy. No smell or colour to it.
- dull back ache in small of back. Consistant with what i get during period.
- gums bled when brushing teeth. Probably a week ish after ovulation. Only happened for one day and all fine again now.
- Sicky feeling from around 1 week after ovulation. Not like im going to throw up right away, but just unsettled. Im now at 4 weeks +3 and ive had to sit still all morning or risk throwing up. Its been really bad. Dry toast is all i can stomach.
- Constipation. Majorly. By the time i realised it had almost been two weeks. The one time i managed to go it was like small dark pellets and was a real effort despite a desperate urge like i was about to burst. Accompanied by stomach cramps and sicky feeling.
