Hi there,

Just wanted to share with you all my symptoms and what we did this month to get our BFP, I have loved looking at this thread whilst in the 2ww and wanted to give something back. I've tried to put a lot of detail in as I know what its like to be reading this thread and trying to compare to your own 2ww.

This was our 13th cycle ttc, bd cd10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17. I had positive OPK’s on cd’s 15 & 16. My sleep was disrupted around the time of ovulation so it is possible that I may be out by 1 day (1dpo might be 2dpo etc).

One of the main things I noticed was that although I never get ewcm I usually get wet cm but this month I had a distinct lack of it, I was very dry around ovulation which was unusual for me. After ovulation I noticed an increase in creamy cm which hasn’t gone away. I had nausea and bloating from ovulation which never went away and is still with me now (more m/s now). I noticed that I got cramp in my lower leg regularly through the 2ww and I felt very tired. My bb’s have only just started to hurt in the last week so just over 5 weeks pregnant. Up until then they felt and looked completely normal. I felt like AF was coming on time, the only difference was I didn’t get the really bad cramps – just little ones.

From 1dpo to now – nausea and bloating, slight at first but increased to m/s now.
2dpo – heartburn (never had this before), gassy, headache
3dpo - gassy, headache
4dpo - headache, cramps, decreased appetite, heartburn
5dpo - gassy, cramps, decreased appetite, heartburn
6dpo - decreased appetite, heartburn
7dpo - heartburn, gassy, cramps
8dpo – gassy, cramps
9dpo – cramps
10dpo - cramps, really bad heartburn, gassy BFP (ic x 2 evening)
11dpo – cramps, decreased appetite, spotting (light brown on a pad) BFP (generic shop FMU)
12dpo - decreased appetite, heartburn, gassy, spotting (light brown on a pad)BFP (Clearblue digital 1-2 weeks SMU)
13dpo – decreased appetite, heartburn, gassy, spotting (light brown coloured discharge)
14dpo – decreased appetite, spotting (light brown coloured discharge)
15dpo - decreased appetite, heartburn, spotting (light brown coloured discharge) BFP (generic shop SMU)
16dpo – decreased appetite, spotting (light brown coloured discharge)
17dpo – decreased appetite, spotting (light brown coloured discharge)
18dpo - decreased appetite, spotting (light brown coloured discharge)
19dpo – spotting stopped!!!
20dpo - BFP (Clearblue digital 2-3 weeks SMU)

Don't give up hope ladies , I know how disheartening it can be ttc but I have my FX for you all and any month a BFP can sneak up on you and surprise you! to everyone and sticky vibes to all those BFP's

 

[spidey]

first post on here, just got my BFP Friday night About 5.5 weeks today

Normal pms symptoms for me are boob pain, irritability, tiredness, heartburn, and stomach queasiness.

Abnormal symptoms I had this month were very sensitive teeth and gums and insomnia- unable to fall asleep or stay asleep. I had almost no irritability, which was weird and my boobs actually hurt less than they usually do, although today they have caught up and are quite sore.

Is being really chilly all the time a symptom? 7DPO today and besides the boobies being all hurty, I have been freezing all the time! And this is really unusual for me as I am normally pretty warm, love the cool weather, etc. Anyone have an opinion?

I have been cold since finding out I'm pregnant, the weather has gone colder but I don't think it's just that.

I wanted to know-did any of you have symptoms that came and disappeared during the tww and still end up with a bfp?

Thanx lots

Im new here.

Its our first month TTC, I wasnt on the pill or anything prior to to trying so we thought it would be relativly easy... (or hoping!)
I had a mc aged 17 at 12 weeks - I had VERY obvious pregnancy signs back then (it was unplanned), like nausea & feeling odd from day 7. I found out I was +pg within 2 weeks.

So, I worked out my O day - my cycle is regular 27 days and af always arrives the morning of the expected day. O is always accompanied by ewcm & teeny cramps.
So we bd'd 2 days leading up to O, on O and the day after. Prior to that it was every other day.
I must have messed up my workings out as I opk'd for a surge the day before I thought I would O (according to dates & feelings), on the day and the day after. On the day before there was a very faint line, then nothing for the following 2 days?!
So I Ov's earlier than I thought.

so, working on my workings out (not the opk)
1dpo nothing
2dpo out to dinner & looking down at BB's they looked HUGE (prolly just overactive imagination!) MiL kept looking at me oddly... out of the corner of her eye. Felt fine.
3dpo was mucking out & came over all hot & bothered & nauseaous. Waves of nausea kept coming over me thruout the day, like motion sickness. Woke up feeling sick several times during the night.
4dpo more nauseaous, constant hunger pangs but no appetite for anything.
5dpo still feeling sick, moreoften than not. Dizziness & a tad grumpy. Spots! At least 5 big nasty ones. Slept for 12 hours overnight - fell asleep at 8.30pm and awoke at 8.46am (very odd, I usually go to bed past 11pm and awake about 8am).
6dpo mucking out took me hours, I kept having to come inside for a cuppa & everytime I went into a stable the smell was overwhelmingly sickening. Asleep by 9pm, woke in night feeling very sick. Despite this I felt quite 'serine'.
7dpo small cramps in abdo, nausea, cooked dinner but had to let hubbie prep the veg as I couldnt stand the smell of cauli (!), ate a little dinner despite feeling ravenous. Tested at supermarket
8dpo Slept on the sofa (where I dozed off as hubbie couldnt wake me!) woke up at 5am today & have nausea, have eaten a whole packet of ginger biscuits & several cups of tea (altho the tea smell makes me feel sick, I cant seem to drink enough!). BB's hurt & nipples erect (they WILL NOT go down!). Cramps in abdo to RHS & toothache (unusual)

I usually have regular cm thruout my cycle but Im dry? Have been feeling very confident about things, Im usually more reserved & cautious.
Peeing more often than usual.

Im having quite bad cramps just now, likened to PMS but way too early. Could be implantation?!

I will try & wait until late next week to test again.

 

[MegGem]

Here were my symptoms:
3dpo - peeing a lot, hungry, pink cm
4dpo - strong sense of smell, got waves of dizziness and nausea at night, very ill
5dpo - still feel ill, foul taste in mouth
6dpo - felt better, foul taste in mouth, strong lower cramp by cervix (implantion?)
7dpo - felt good until sickness hit again during the night, foul taste in mouth moving towards metallic now, pink/brown CM
8dpo - felt ill all day, boobs started to burn and tingle, metallic taste in mouth, started to get AF type cramps (but not as crampy, more of a slight pain), no appetite, brown CM
9dpo- ill all day, felt like I had to puke from the strong smell in a restaurant and couldn't eat still, cramps by belly button, boobs still burning, heartburn, indigestion, brown CM
10dpo-symptoms continue, faint
11dpo-blood test confirm

Hi all~ We have been ttc #1 for 7 months now with no luck yet. I think two cycles ago I may have had a chemical pregnancy, but af showed up before I got around to taking a hpt (I had actually gone out and bought some and was going to test with fmu the next morning and af showed up that night... arg) so who knows. Anyway this month I used opk for the first time and we bd three times before and once after I got the double line

SO... I am think that MAYBE i've been experiencing some symptoms but some of this is normal for pms too, so I was wondering what you guys thought!

from about 2-3dpo thru today- Tons of wind and having to go #2 A LOT! (not normal) just overall digestion issues.

from about 6dpo thru today- VERY sore boobs (i usually get sore boobs around af but this month I can't sleep on my stomach like i usually do)

on and off for about a week I have had pain around my ribs. I don't know if that is heartburn or gas or what...

and From maybe 9dpo I have had a ton of creamy white cm. The cm is normal for pre af but the amount has been quite a surprise. I've actually thought af came early a couple of times.

Thats about it. I am still 2 days till af is expected so I wasn't going to test yet, but I just feel kinda "weird". Knowing myself thought this could all be in my head

Anyone have any thoughts? Expert opinions? etc.?

Hello,

** NEWBIE** **FIRST POST**

I just my yesterday so only very newly pregnant but have been coming on here so much since my symptoms started that I thought I would post mine as this thread helped me so much.

This was our first month TTC and it was only half hearted really so massive surprise that I caught so easily. I have no chart or know my Ov date so will be fairly vague with timings.

The 2 things that really made me test was spotting (brown on tissue and 2 red bleeds in toilet) last week and gagging yesterday pm.

Other than that I have had symptoms but before the BFP didn't trust myself that they were symptoms IYKWIM..

Bad taste in mouth. Not metallic, but like a cold is coming - I thought it was...
Queasy feeling, but only seemed to happen when on here so thought it was excitement!
Bloating, but then I quite often have that anyway...
Some women say they just have a feeling and I think I actually did but because it was first month TTC I didn't know how to feel really. It just felt right. And I think that because I had the bleed it was concrete evidence really...

Things that noticeable I didn't have... sore boobs and CM, in fact pretty dry.

I hope this helps.

Well folks...sort of good news. CD31 of a 27-31 day cycle. No show of the witch and I have heartburn, which i've never had before. I had to ask my husband "When it burns in your throat is that heartburn?" and he confirmed, lol.

Something is definetely going on down there, I can feel like, pulling or something. Some slight pain but nothing as intense as starting my period. I am determined to hold out until CD35 to test - trying to be a good girl.

P.S. I'm also posting this on the other thread about early symptoms to see if I can get feedback.

Before my mc I was freezing all the time. I read up about it and it can def be a symptom, but apparently docs don't often acknowledge it as a symptom because the norm is to get warmer than usual.

 

[teramesue]

happy to hear that being cold could be a symptom! my hands have been freezing for the past few days, and i am normally hot natured... so thanx!

 

[_angeldance16]

That's excellent news! My normal temp is usually 97-98 and I never run a fever even when sick and for the past three days it's been 99.2 F. That's exciting! It should be noted that I have not been "temping". That's next month if this one doesn't pan out.

CD31 of a 28-32 day cycle. Other symptoms are being unusually tired, cramping down below, heightened smell, constipation, funny taste in my mouth.

 

[turbo_mom]

i'm currently 7DPO and have avidly turned into a symptom spotter as well...lol. terrible!!
Since OV on the 3rd i've had extra CM
6DPO- slight twinges in left part of the abdomen
7DPO- but slightly crampy, irritable, clear/white CM, and VERY tired. Can hardly type this out I feel I need a nap. Bloated, emotional.
I hope these are promising signs

 

[teramesue]

i've been temping for a while, and have been avg 99.1 since 1dpo. but today temp dropped to 98.5... not sure what that means.

 

[Pippin]

BUMP, everyone should be reading this, just wanted to ask if anyone else has had sensitive teeth? I'm feeling the cold weather right now and just wondered if the teeth were part of that. Never been this cold before!!!
