Hi ladies Im so happy i found this page...Ive been sooo confused!!

I am currently NTNP....I got my AF on 8/28 and it ended the 31st (my cycles are always 3-4 days the most). I then had DTD on 9/2 without my DH not withdrawing. Starting the 6th I began getting extremely nausous to where I could not hold anything in that day, throwing up...the day before was slightly nauseous actually. Since then it has continued along with my face breaking out bad, cramping alot to where its sharp pains, once felt an itching/burning sensation in lower tummy, mood swings real bad, milky white cm more then usual (today is actually much more as if i wet myself peeing, sorry for the TMI). Yesterday I found myself crying for everything! I also felt a tingling pain in my nipples that went away. I cant stand peanut butter which i usually love and cannot stand the smells of meats!!

My DH and mom are SO SURE i am preggos but I took 2 test so far and both were negative, its also so early for me to be getting symtoms so i am so confused!!....i feel im in denial but at the same time this has never happend to me before. I want to wait till a missed AF to re-test again....if I am not, BOY Is MY BODY FOOLING ME! FXed!!

Hello everyone I'm sorry to be a downer on these symptoms, but after searching the net, there are no obvious symptoms Most of the symptoms listed can be confused with AF symtoms which can be experienced a week leading up to AF. I was looking out for all these symptoms, maybe creating some in my desperation , but month after month it has been down to my time of the month and not a . I am a preg test addict. No matter how much i try to hold out, as soon as it gets to the week the witch is due I start going test crazy This only causes dissapointment and madness. I willed the lines to appear, held them up to the light, and convinced myself that evap lines were a BFP? The simple fact is that a good BFP shouldnt have to be held up to the light or willed on Most early preg tests are evap lines, unless you are one of the very lucky ones And even then it could lead to a MC that you could of been blissfully unaware of had you not tested early, which has happend to me I know this isnt what you want to hear and i'm being a party pooper. I'm just trying to give you honest and helpful advice having gone through all this myself I would say to only test when you have a missed period, and list your symptoms when you have a You can never give up hope, and we will all get our BFPs soon, but we all need to stop being so crazy as we're trying to achieve it I wish you all baby dust and sticky beans When and if I get my BFP I will post it here. So watch this space

Hi ladies, i miscarried my baby at 8 weeks the past month and straight after i got my af, i started bd’ing again. I am around 7 days past ovulation and my nipples are sore and tender. Could it be a sign of pregnancy? Anyone experienced this?

That seems too early for you to have ovulated. Are your cycles regular, how many days? Do you check your BBT to know when you ovulated?

Hello,
I had the strangest experience this cycle and I just felt as if I was brewing something down there.

To start, I did 3 cycles of clomid between June and August. Only during 2 of those was I with my OH. I started a 4th cycle of clomid, but we upped it to 100mg. During that menstrual cycle, I had the most heavy period, with huge clots and it lasted for only 2 days. i seriously felt as if my uterus shed completely. day 3 and there wasnt even a sign of AF. I have never had that before in my life.
CD7 I went for an HSG, and it showed that my tubes were clear. All good.

On 5dpiui, i went for dinner (italian food, nothing spicy) with one of my friends. Shortly after we finished, I came home and got ready for bed. At that point I felt the strangest sensation in my head. It was tingly and I felt dizzy and I swear I felt as if 'a hormone' was being released from somewhere behinfd my forehead. I just assumed that I ate something and it had a strange effect on me. It was difficult to fall asleep at first, but then immediately after, I was fast asleep. Odd!

I woke the next day, CD6 to a major temperature drop and the following day, my temperature spiked back up. Day 7 and 8, it was difficult to sleep because I felt weird pulling going on in my uterus.

I did have a lot of creamy CM, urinated often during the night, felt more hungry than normal and was definitely more tired than normal, but never felt tenderness in my bb, until now (17dpo). I still have minor twinges now and then and swear I have twins growing in there....

So although we cant stop symptom spotting, these symptoms were completely different than the ones that gave me a bfn.... And I know if sounds completely crazy, but whatever I felt in my head that night was definitely some sort of hormone being released. IMO.....

Hello, I am new to this site!

I have been TTC now for about three months. I started taking pre-natal vitamins and tried to time my ovulation. I have never used charts or recorded my temperature and I am hoping that we did it this time. I am currently 8 DPO and I have been paying an overly close amount of attention to my body.
4-7 DPO I had a good amount of CW CM.
I woke up this morning and am having small cramps in my pelvis region.
I also have had a very decreased appetite. Usually I am always hungry and eating everything but lately food fills me up real quick and I can't eat much.

If I have not received AF by October 17th I am going to test.

I hope that I am not over analyzing my symptoms but I just can't help it. I'm ready for my BFP already!

 

[Isabel209]

My af is suppose to come visit me in 2 or 3 days.... when should i test? I am so unpatient  got a headache, my breasts a bit tender but these could be signs of af... since i had my miscarriage in september, i really feel upset and its like its never going to happen again... anyone got pregnant fast after a miscarriage? Any experiences to share?

Got my on cycle # 4 at 10dpo with a VERY faint wondfo IC and confirmed today (11dpo) with a digi....see pics and symptoms below. Good luck to everyone!!! FXD!! Lots and lots of to you ladies!!!!

Symptoms List:

Okay, so I didn’t have many symptoms. It was weird because I had WAAAAY more symptoms in the other 3 months. I just knew I was pregnant the other times. This time I just KNEW I was out. I tried my hardest not to symptom spot but I couldn’t help but notice the following:

‘O’ day – let’s just say I wasn’t even sure I was still Ov’ing. I was totally convinced that I had stop Ov’ing after I had my daughter. Anyhoo, on this day I had a few ‘O’ pains….mild pains on right side. I also had ‘O’ pains on the day before.

1dpo – more ‘O’ pains coming from left and right side.

2-3dpo – nothing…AT ALL!

4dpo – a few pains on the lower right side.

5dpo – nothing. Had a dream that morning that I had lost my daughter and when I found her she was a little baby. My daughter is 5

6dpo - Pulling and tugging on my belly button that only lasted about 2 minutes.

7dpo – (Implantation according to my chart) mild chills almost felt like I was coming down with the flu. More pulling and tugging on my belly button that only lasted a few seconds this time.

8dpo – more chills. I made chicken noodle soup for dinner and the chicken made me nauseous. Family ate it with no problem. The loved it!

9dpo – Lower backache. I’ve had this in other months but it wasn’t the same. It felt like a ‘traveling pain’ and it felt a little more ‘present’ not really dull. 1 twinge….I promise, just one. In other months my uterus would twinge all the time. Right nip were irritated but I didn’t pay any attention to it but looking back my right nip was very irritated. Can’t believe I didn’t realize it could be a symptom.

10dpo – VERY faint pos on wondfo IC’s (pink handle that says HCG) I took two IC’s: an IC from a ‘new’ batch that I bought this cycle and one from an ‘old’ batch from last cycle. The ‘new’ had a VERY VERY faint test line after about 15mins. Then the ‘old’ started showing a second line after like 25mins then it kept getting darker but still faint. I placed them next to each other to be sure I wasn’t going nuts and they were both pos but faint.
Same right nip irritated a little. Sore boobies on the outer side. It took so long for my boobies to start hurting which is unusual for my cycles but the same thing happened last cycle. However, this cycle it took a little longer. Few sharp pains in my uterus. Mild cramping in my hips and upper thighs that lasted about 10mins. Mild lower backache that lasted a few seconds. Very emotional late at night.

Really smelly pee...yuck!

11dpo - I’ve heard that IC’s (wondfo’s too) are not that accurate so, I decided to take a digi and after about 3 mins (felt like 30) the screen read “Pregnant”. I was in TOTAL shocked I gasped so loudly. I was definitely not expecting that. I’ve taken digi’s a few other times in this process when I was certain I was pregnant and they were negative. So needless to say I was in shock when I saw a positive digi. Plus, I thought it was too soon. Still got VERY faint pos on wondfo IC’s
Smelly pee continues....

Now, I would list very gassy on my symptoms list from like 9dpo until now but it’s a common symptom for me. More sharp pains in my uterus. I hope the baby is in the right place and snug as a bug!

BD'ed: CD8,10,12,14,15,16,17,18,19,27

Things I tried this month: grapefruit juice, preseed (everytime we bd’ed CD8 – CD19), put a pillow under my bum after bd and legs high in the air, opk’s twice a day with FMU and evening CD7 – CD21. I only stop using opk’s because I got crosshairs on FF and Ov confirmation.

Go check out my chart…it’s a little triphasic and shows a huge implantation dip. This was my first cycle temping and it looks very typical and cliché, which is why I didn’t believe it.

 

[lizlovelust]

Hi ladies,

So I am 10DPO and I think I might have gotten a super faint + this morning at FMU
https://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g401/lizlovelust21/IMG_0821.jpg

Not sure if I'm just going crazy and seeing things or not...

But my symptoms right now are:
-really sore breasts and nipples hurt to the touch and my nips also hurt when the shower hits them.
-nausea today during lunch at work, couldn't keep eating.
-cramps but they don't feel anything like AF
-Lower back ache
-super fatigued
-Spazzed at my boyfriend today and I had no reason to...
-severe gas....
-running to the bathroom to pee and poo lots...
-weird smelling pee..
-crazy acne break out, like all over my face, chest, back, and even legs!
-so bloated it looks like I gained weight
-Weird vivid dreams a couple of nights this past week, most about babies.

No idea.....

Thoughts, comments??

 

[Nitengale]

Thanks to all for this thread!

 

[Nitengale]

Hey guys! This thread really helped me during my TWW!
Got my October 24th at 10dpo.

As for symptoms, I have had almost none. That's actually why I tested, I knew AF wasn't coming cause I didn't haven the usual symptoms.

Good luck to all!
