=======================================================

My period usually comes on the 18th (ie. Oct. 18, 2008 / Nov. 18, 2008) but it was 4 days late due to stress so it did not start until Dec. 22, 2008 which threw off my whole cycle but I thought I would try to conceive anyway.

I usually have a 31 day cycle but due to :witch: coming late it threw me into the 34 day cycle and when I charted my ovulation days it ranged from Jan. 1, 2009 to Jan. 8, 2009.

Being that I am not an expert at this and just started charting maybe you ladies can take the information that I have provided below and make some sense out of it to help out this poor confused soul :dohh:

Well that is it for now ladies...

I am not sure what to think at this point each one of us are so unique and I have heard stories of people not testing positive until they were 3mo. preggers which is rare. But I definitely have not felt like this before and my tale-tell sign is the fact that my breasts are not killing me and I do not have severe cramps which I ALWAYS get 3-5 days before :witch: comes to visit!

I am not sure if my period is going to start Jan. 22 / Jan. 25 due to :witch: coming late in Dec. Any advice will help and I listed everything I could think of to the best of my ability for all of you Expert symptom spotters.

Thank you for reading my long + drawn out post. I appreciate any feedback!

:dust: to all ttc and for those wtc!

God Bless* :hug:

I forgot to mention I am slightly bloated and tummy is a little sore as if it is stretching and I have MAJOR wind/gas etc. from both ends and my left shoulder feels as if it is falling asleep or not getting enough blood circulation and I have heartburn and lots of saliva when I do not have the dry mouth!
 
your symptoms sound promising! good luck when you test. xx

congratulations to those of you who got your BFP's! hope you have a healthy and happy 9 months. xx

3dpo.. nausea on and off all day
4dpo.. metallic taste in mouth
5dpo - now.. really tired, very vivid dreams, had a dull pressure in my lower abdomen,it kind of ached and could feel twinges and slight pulls, felt like i was getting a bladder infection i went to see my doc and he tested my urine and said there was a very faint sign of bladder infection due to to much :sex: lol he gave me antibiotics which is save whilst ttc,have had slightly sore boobs down the sides also with shooting pains behind my nips. today im 10dpo and i have had for the last 2 days a belly ache, also pains in my groin (only on my left hand side, its still there faintly) twinges and pulls that im very aware of, this morning i started to burn up real quick and felt extremely nauseated had to run to the toilet but nothing..then it started to ease off, thats exactly what happened to me when i was pregnant with my daughter. i can honestly say i 'feel' pregnant. i feel so odd, my belly is all over the place, and i never feel different like this. i am due for af sunday so im gonna wait till then to test, may give in before that knowing me!! will keep u all posted. good luck everyone!!! obviously not going to get my hopes up too much but i think this is it.. we'l see soon enough!! xXx:hug:
 
Hi all,

I never knew i was preggers and have not got a regular cycle so i was unsure when i ovulated. (Wierd i know). THe symptoms which i did notice very early on but never knew that they were because i was preggers were:
Very sore lower acheing back when i stood for short periods of time - even with flat shoes on
Constant head aches
Very big tender spots that cannot squeeze!!
Feeling nausia
constant pulling in lower stomach (must have been uterus expanding looking back)

Unfortunatly mypregnancy with my twins never progressed passed 6 weeks (that is what they measured at the scans - 3 scans ,each a week apart. The symptoms started disappearing afer second scan but babies from what i can work out were supposed to be 10 weeks at the first scan. Had D+C on 12th Jan, bleeding just stopping so b/f is in luck for the rest of the month!!

OK temps look good hun, stopping high.
BD'ing at the right time.
So you took a test on Jan 19th and that would make you 16dpo, as long as the OPK was right. BFN though.....hmmmm.
I'd leave until Sunday and do an Early Preg Test if your temps stay high and no AF.
 
Got my first :bfp: 2 days ago, digi confirmed yesterday :happydance:
Thought I'd update my symptoms for people to see.....

This was my first month of acupuncture, I passed a small clot the day after my first acu. session at the end of my period, also had a massive temp rise after ovulation this month. Use pre-seed and got busy last thing at night and then didn't move!!!

4dpo REALLy sharp shooting pains through my lower stomach and againat 6dpo.

Had a few minor symptoms, bit of dizziness but relaly started at about 11dpo, started getting very tired in the evenings, b@@bs started feeling fuller, heavier and more tender and I have NEVER had sore b@@bs!!
12dpo some brown cm when I wiped, thought it was af but nothing the next morning. Felt really thirsty and also back ache...

That was about it!! Good luck to everyone, hope you all get your :bfp: soon
 
Hi girls am a newbie to babyandbump but have been reading all these symptom spotters for ages and found them really helpful so wanted to post mine now that i have my :bfp:

None of my symptoms were major slap you in the face kind, more minor and noticable just cos i was looking for them intently.

1-7dpo: tender breasts just around the nipple area- not as bad as they usually are before af, just nipples were erect more and noticable and sensitive, had to prod boobs for them to hurt
Also had zingy sharp shooting sensations in them from time to time during the first week which wasn't something i'd had before
TMI but quite creamy CM- looked quite fertile at times even though i knew i wasn't
1-4dpo: ovulation type pains and aches in the right or left side
8-14dpo: strange stabby pains in and around uterus area, made me stop and say ouch out loud a few times
very bloated, absolutely horrendous wind- yuck, huge massive spots on face and breakout on chest, achy and crampy like af is coming at times- although cramps feel milder at times and just different
Very restless sleep, have woken early at the same time each morning and cant get back to sleep, spend parts of the day feeling strangely energetic and other times particulary late afternoon early evening feel achy- almost flu like and exhausted.
12-15dpo- hungry every couple of hours feel a little sick when stomach is empty, boobs becoming more tender, some blue veins more noticeable such as in inner wrist area

12-14dpo tested positive with an opk cos i had to pee on something
thought it was strange to get a positive opk this late in my cycle and had read that they can sometimes detect pregnancy hormone hcg too so this got my hopes up big time

14dpo fmu. did frer could see a faint line ermerging, grabbed a superdrugs own make and did it too and a really strong :bfp:came up

15dpo confirmed with a clearblue digital conception test :bfp: 1-2 weeks :happydance:

very very scared and shocked and in disbelief still...still havn't told anyone...have written a card for my hubbie to read this morning with love from me and jellybean in it.

I don't know if it made any difference but the thing i did different this month to other months was took evening primrose oil from af to ov and also i carried on with the opks and found i ovulated much later in my 30 day cycle then i thought- it was about day 16/17. Previous months i think i had given up too early and thought i wasnt ovulating cos i never got a positive opk. Also i didnt jump on my poor hubbie every night but just did it a few times around predicted fertile time to save his sperm and make it more special and less routine.

sorry for long rambling post. :hug: xxxxxxxxxxx

I am 12 DPO and I feel exactly that way... Plus, I get really bad nausea in the middle of the night. Dizzy, could not eat much today...
Also, every time I drink a bit of water, I feel like I need to run to the loo...


Unfortunately so far all I could get were BFNs... :(
 
OK, I am 2 days late. I do not feel pg at all...

I have had vivid dreams
blood taste in my mouth occasionally
mild VERY mild cramping
thats it

I got a :bfp: today
