Hi ladies

I got my BFP at 12 dpo. Am 15 dpo now. The only symptoms that I've had have been:

* stomach cramps, on and off, similar to AF pains
* very little to no CM since ovulating
* I've been feeling really tired around about mid day
* have had dark veins on breasts
* have been reeeaalllly hot

New symptoms are:

* little bumps on nipps
* right breast feels tender on the right hand

I hope that helps and good luck!!

Since I posted the above, my symptoms now include:

* even more tiredness!
* frequent need to go to wee 2/3 times per night in 6 hours
* lower backache

Between 15 dpo and today (20 dpo), probably somewhere in the middle, I had some teeny tiny pin head sized brown bits of cm. It is very likely that it was implantation and last approx 24 hours (not every time I went to the loo though).

I'm ready for even more symptoms now

Thanks ladies to continuing to feed our addiction to symptom spot!! KEEP 'EM COMING!!

Those of us in the 2ww will GREATLY appreciate it!!

Embovstar, I had exactly the same teeny tiny brown bits, also pin sized about a week ago. I have a very watery mouth and af is due today (ticker is wrong) but had af type cramps yesterday, but not nearly as bad as usual but that has also gone away. This does not usually happen.

 

[ne18tan]

i had a test and it was negative but im still waiting on af so im hoping for my bfp very soon

 

[trashit]

My symptoms were,
1. couldn't go into the kitchen, the smell made me gag!
2. the obvious of feeling sick, wasn't actually sick until 6 weeks but started to feel dreadfully sick at 4 weeks.
3. using the loo more!
4. generally feeling really terrible, headaches, feeling like i was gonna pass out etc.
5. swollen sore breasts!
6. and also i couldn't wear my corsets as they absolutely murdered!!

Good luck to all those ttc, ::

Hi Ladies, congratulations to the ones who have got their bfp's, I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy! Just a quick question in regards to a pregnancy symptom I have never ever had before, even when af is here... sore nipples. I had them for about the first 10 days after ovulation... and now today they are fine and no where near as sore as they were... did anyone notice that but still got their bfp? xxxx

 

[tateypot]

I have not been preggers before (sadly) but I have definitely read that sore nipples are a symptom. Good luck!

 

[Ilovemysoldier]

Im 7DPO atm and the dont know if i making these things up etc but all i got atm is weeing 14+ times a day and sore bbs.
Btw has anyone had a BFP symptom as this- not constipated but having loose bowel instead?
xx thanks xx

 

[angeljewel]

Just got my bfp today, so 12dpo. These are my symptoms so far....

I have been starving!
No spotting this month, like I normally get!
Craving cheese and onion crisps, then when I eat them they don't satisfy the craving!
Bread made me feel quesy and the smell of OH beer!
Boobs a little sore!
Lots of little spots!
Bubbly feeling in tummy and lots of windy poops!
Veins on boobs a bit more prominent!
Really strange dreams for last few nights!
Sore teeth and bleeding gums!
Prob a few more but can't think at the min

I managed to put all of these symptoms down to other things as I was convinced I wouldn't get a bfp this month as just started taking Vit B complex and was sure it would take time to get into my system, but yippee I was soooo wrong x

 

[joolie]

i got my bfp today at either 11 or 12 dpo, so i'll add my symptoms!

- very bad headache for the first few DPO (but i get lots of headaches)
- tender breasts from the first DPO which doesn't normally happen to me, when it DOES it is usually only a few days away from AF
- the tenderness increased DRAMATICALLY in the last few days, mostly on the sides by my armpits
- a bit of AF-like cramping at 6dpo
- starting at 8 dpo i became extremely bloated and constipated, this is still my main discomfort
- bloody nose at 9 and 10 dpo..strange, but my mom had lots of nosebleeds during her pregnancies
- night sweats
- fatigue kicked in mainly at 9/10dpo
- decreased appetite 9/10 dpo
- noticeable blue veins across chest over the past few days
- today i am sweating whenever i do ANYTHING and it isn't even hot and slight nausea and dizziness started today as well

 

[starrilicious]

I got the today I never thought I'd get. Been trying 9 months.

I don't know DPO as I haven't seen AF since MC 3 months ago but going by my symptoms diary...

Started with a sore back, low just above my back. Continues to date.

Couple of days later, dizzy spells and mild headaches every morning. Kind of gassy, can't go to loo but when I do go it's not hard, more soft (sorry TMI lol)

7 days on low cramps start, very thirsty, peeing more and lotion like CM

8 days on sore BB's, more alert nipples

10 days on headaches subside a bit, feeling dead tired. BB's sore on and off, aereola darkened (This is what really made me think I was, this happened last time). Also started to get a bit scatty but that might just be me.

Past few days, really hot. Literally been wandering about the house semi nude.

Things I noticed but didn't write down:

Strange taste in mouth
constantly hungry but when I eat makes me feel icky.
Runny nose.
More prominent veins in boobies.

GL to all and :babydust:

Ok.....got my bfp on Friday and the amazing thing about this month was....I had no symptoms! Maybe a bit windier than usual, but that was it. No sore boobs, no sickness, tiredness, zilch.

Now I've got it tho....everything seems to have happened over the weekend lol feel bloody lousy this morning

Last time I was preg, I had lots of early symptoms tho, so it just goes to show, no two are the same!

Only 2nd time TTC and I have myself drove crazy with "pregnancy" symptoms. Here is what the last month has been like for me....
- LMP July 24 (lasting about 6 days), cycle usually between 25-30 days, next period due around August 20-21.
- increase in CM around august 4th, assumed ovulation to be around that time (and according to Ovulation Calculators), had intercourse during that time.
- between August 11 - 12th I began having cramping (not hard just a little) and then began having feelings of "butterflies" shortly after (a few days).
- During the week of Aug 12 to present (August 17) I have been having sudden "dizzy spells" with bouts of nausea (feeling of going to faint) throughout the day (not consistent, comes and goes at which point I have to lay down for a 1/2 hour, than I feel okay)...This is the biggest difference for me, I'm not used to these dizzy spells at all, and they are making me very nervous.
- my breasts have been tender for a few days (usual PMS symptom for me) and have been having a bad back with aches and pain all over, I have also noticed that the Montgomery glands on my nipples and the veins on my breast have been more prominent during the last few days
- I have not been checking my BBT yet, but this week I have felt like I have been having "feverish" chills, but not really feverish, ? if an elevated BBT would cause a symptoms like that.
-Cervix is fairly soft, high, and CM is white and creamy (sorry if it TMI!!! and I'm not sure if this is a pregnancy symptom or not)
- This morning (August 17th) about 4 days before missed period I did a pregnancy test (first time ever) which showed a BFN.
Today I have been obsessing over the BFN and joined this site for support from people experiencing the same emotions and "symptoms" as me. If anyone can relate to any of these, especially the dizziness, please post back.

 

[kaykaysmom]

when i was pregnant with my first i had dizzy spells because of low blood sugar but that wasnt until about 4 months along try eating crackers or peanut butter stuff with good sugars in them. caffeine will make it worse orange juice helps also

 

[Floradita]

Just wondered if anyone can elaborate, when you have cramping before BFP does it feel very similar to AF or is it a different feeling? I should have got my AF yesterday at 11DPO and it's still not here but I'm getting mild cramps on one side every now and again. Have no tests in the house so I have to wait until 5 can get out and buy some! Ahh the frustration!

Thanks and good luck to everyone still TTC! x

Hey just thought i would post my comments by your seeing as they are pretty much like mine.....

Last Period was 18 july - 25 july and next one is now is 2 days late. my boobs been getting bigger for past 2 weeks and i have started getting cramps around 8th august and suddenly started bleeding, red blood but quite watery at not very heavy but was having bad cramps like menstrual pain. but one day when i wiped it was like very thin stretchy cervical mucus but was full of blood. and then it went just ever so slightly brown. no blood what so ever!!! so the bleeding only lasted 24 hours but i still had stomach cramps.all of a sudden the cramps had gone but the reddish watery bleeding came back slightly. The watery bleeding came and went throughout the day.

Also i have a map of blue veins across my chest and one really prominent blue vein on my breast leading right to my nipple. My boobs feel ever so swollen and tender and are getting fuller noticeably every day and my stomach feels full and swollen!!!

Tested with HPT this morning but was BFN!!! Can a pregnancy test still be negative 4 days after a missed period???

Hi,

I have been experiancing the following,

*Nipples are extremly sensitive to the point i cant wear anything against them sometimes (OH and I do laugh at it, you'd think i was stepping over hot coal!) and they are also huge! my boobs are same size but the nipples ...omg.
They have been feeling like this for about 6 days now, normally get sore boobs 5 days before period is due.
* Feeling very bloated and also bad indigestion (i rarely get indegestion).
* Since about thursday/friday feeling sickly but this morning around 5am was the worst! i actually felt like i was going to be sick.
*Also have a creamy CM for the last week.
* Period like cramps and aches especially when i goto sit down, i cant just plonk myself onto the sofa atm.

All confusing for me as i had the same last month but got a BFN when i took a test 3 days after my period was due (came on 2 hours later :'(), altho i didnt have the cramping or CM or indigestion. Cant even compare the symptoms to my first pregnancy 5 years ago as i didnt have anything bar boobs getting bigger and wasnt looking out for the signs as we werent TTC.

I am trying not to get my hopes up as my period isnt due till next tuesday (25th aug).
