The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[momtoboys1]

I started this thread

https://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-first-trimester/298410-anyone-get-late-bfp.html

and so far I am getting the responses i was looking for, some ladies don't get a bfp until weeks after their af was due

Good luck to everybody this cycle.

I think I am on 7dpo. I only think because since TTC2 I'm only using OPK's to predict ovulation. I had bad ovary pain last Monday night and early Tuesday morning and it went mid morning but the OPK that afternoon was still +ve. I'm saying that I ovulated Tuesday.

7dpo is where I get all crazy with symptom spotting. I normally have a 12 day lp, so have nearly a week of obsessing to go. I'm not really getting any symptoms at the moment. I've heartburn for a couple of days but I'm not counting that as anything. I'm getting some mild cramping today but I think I get that most months. I have no boob changes but my chest is spotty which is unusual.

I'm sure you will see me around here a lot in the next few days, lol

Hi ladies,

I have just, in the last 15 mins, been and done two more tests, held my wee for 3.30 hours then peed in a cup so could test more than once - obviously adicted to it now!!! Was really convinced this was it! Both negative one was Boots which is supposed to ulstra sensative, and a tesco one (ran out of the FRER). Just so upsetting, I don't know what to think, why do our bodies have to torture us like this. I have always been 11-12dpo in the 6 month of testing, before that I had 7 months of 28 day cycles so always regular then too although we were trying but not recording at that stage, so I don't have the history of those months. So in my mind that means something is different right? BUT WHATTTTTT!!!!!

 

[Step Mummy]

Hi ladies, I was not one of the lucky ones to go up to the next level and proceed to First Trimester - I am back to the bottom at TTC, AF arrived with a heavy burst this morning, just after I woke with a temp drop!

Oh well that will explain the BFN's!

And yes there were tears, as I was really convinced, but at least I have a really big symptom list to check against next month to stop me getting so excited next month.

Also we have our referral to the hospital now and DH has his sample to produce - lucky thing!

Fingers crossed for cycle 11! and for everyone for April 2010!

Good luck - speak again in two weeks! XXX

 

[Lilpalf]

I am sorry for your bfn. Our bodies play some mean tricks on us sometimes.

Fingers crossed for this month and your tests

Congratulations! That's great news. I am 9dpo today and have had a few cramp like twinges, like AF coming but she's not due till Weds / Thurs so am hoping cos you had similar that this is a good sign. Also sore boobage!

Can't wait to TEST!!!!

 

[mummy_blues]

hi Ladymilly, congrats!!
I am putting off testing until AF should arrive.. i am just too scared to test now although I am already quite certain (I've gone up one bra cup size, nipples have been rock hard since ovulation and the Nausea has started). Just afraid that if i get a BFP now and it ends up as a MC with AF coming; I might break down and cry out of despair!
The miscarriage statistics during the first week of pregnancy (between conception & AF) is making me so scared and worried!!

 

[ladymilly]

ok so i said above that i only had a bit of nausea. scrap that. i have had it all day but at least i can eat with it lol seems to be getting worse as the day goes on im too excited to care though

OMG congratulations sweetheart! you just gave me hope because I am having the exact same symptoms and AF is due tomorrow or sunday! thank you for that! My night sweats were terrible I couldn't believe it and I never have sore boobs before AF but sore boobs when walking anywhere especially downstairs and sore nipples hope I will be following you very soon how many dpo are you?

 

[sweet109]

congrats ladymilly!

girls!

Thought I would leave my early preg symptoms for you seeing as I am now pregnant

So I got my first faint faint line on an IC and a superdrug at 10dpo as I woke up feeling really rubbish and just "had a feeling"

The lines steadily got darker over the next few days until I got "Pregnant 1-2" on a digi at 12dpo

So my early symptoms...
Irritability - more than just the usual pre-af type - actually wanted to hurt DH
Sore boobs - a little more than pre-af
Lower back ache
Loads of lotiony/creamy CM
Emotional!
Some light period type cramps (which send me running to the toilet knicker checking!)
Bloated - already look 5 months gone!

Also, I was sure I was out this month, just felt like AF was on her way!

Also wanted to give hope to any one-tubers out there - I lost my left tube last October due to ectopic pregnancy ans started trying again in January this year and here I am! I know I'm not out of the woods yet but there you go! Good luck girls x

Those are mostly my symptoms just now....I wonder! I'm scared to test though *hides*

 

[lilbabylove]

oh no ladies..think I'm out. so I think I didn't O when I thought I did..I think it was monday which is two days after I assumed which would make me 11 dpo. And now I had a few drops of pinkish spotting tonight only when I wiped it wasn't on my knickers so hopefully this isn't an early AF and she will not show up full force. Because I reread the OPK pamphlet and when I took the test saturday it was a line but not nearly as dark or darker then the other line I thought a line was a line..ha. So I had ewcm on monday as well as sunday and it said that when you get the dark line you will ovulate in 24-48 hours so I don't think I O'd on Saturday the 13th wish me luck ladies to all

[ladymilly]

lilbabylove i was due AF last monday but only got very very faint BFPs from sunday night to wednesday morning on tesco tests. i did a first response yesterday morning and got my BFP
good luck hun and lots of to you. let us know how you get on

 

[redhairedlady]

Just popping in to say best wishes to you ladies! I hope you get your BFPs! To those who have been trying less than a year--don't lose hope, please. We tried for over 10 months, and we are perfectly healthy, as far as I know. It just takes a little longer with some than others. I definitely recommend eating healthier and temperature charting, too. Both those things really helped us.

I think I have a sticky bean. I am almost 7 weeks, and no problems. Feeling pretty good up until yesterday. I am faintly nauseous all the time, but still able to function. God bless!

 

[sma1588]

hii ladies,

Hi all,

Just wanted to share my symptoms, as I got my BFP on Saturday, March 27th. It was kind of a weird TWW for me, because I was in Florida for spring break the second week. I was officially late for my period on Thurs, at 14DPO, but since I was on vacay, I wasn't able to test until Saturday, when I got back. Since then, I have POAS 3 times, all with very strong positive results.

So, I started getting mild AF cramps starting at 12 DPO, and continued through 16 DPO. I thought for sure AF was on her way!

I had a very tiny drop of brown blood at 9DPO and then again at 14DPO, no pink or red discharge at all. The drops were honestly not noticeable, unless you scrutinized the toilet paper.

I was really really tired (and still am) everyday, sometime after lunch, starting at about 11DPO. This is unusual for me.

Boobs began to be tender and swollen starting about 14 DPO, and that has continued until today. The areolas may be a bit bigger, but nothing too noticeable. There is one extra vein I notice.

I am a little bit more emotional, starting about 13 DPO, but nothing that weird. It is not really grouchiness though, more just easily weepy over slightly sad things (tears came to my eyes during Marley and Me... lol, or if something frustrates me, I will tear up).

I had no increase in discharge that I could notice.

So basically, I thought AF was on her way, even had a tampon in and ready. But she never showed, and it completely was a surprise, since DH had a vasectomy reversal in Nov 09, and we have only been trying for 4 months. We both thought it would take a lot longer.

I did not have a feeling I was preggers, until I was 1 day late for AF, and then I kind of put all the symptoms together that I had wrote off already

FYI - we did use softcups with a squirt of preseed for the last two months - I think this really was key considering he probably has a lower sperm count (between the reversal and vericocele on one side).

Hi girls not posted on this before but have seen the thread for a while just wondering if anyone has got AF cramps post OV? im now 8dpo and hae been getting light AF cramps since 5 dpo they are very off and on not very sore but can be a bother anyone else? I read that you can get AF like cramps as the uterus is expanding for pregnancy and also implantation
