Hi All-
I actually had a MC at 7 weeks at the end of April and we are now trying again. I'm currently in the TWW (only 3 dpo now) and looked back at my list of symptoms for the first BFP to compare with how I'm feeling now. Maybe this will come in handy to you all, too. Good luck everyone!

------------------------------------------------
4 dpo-7 dpo: Boobs started hurting, felt mild cramps in my lower back and hips, weird "bubble"/pressure around my uterus but not painful

8 dpo: Same as 4-7 dpo, but started getting metal taste in my mouth, having to pee a lot

9 dpo: Same as above, but cramps started to be more intense on occasion and boobs and nipples started getting bigger. Took a HPT and got a BFN.

10 dpo: Same. BFN again.

11 dpo: Same plus started getting really nauseated in waves throughout the day. Another BFN, but returned 30 minutes later and a very faint line had shown up. I wasn't sure what to think since I know you can't trust any results that show up after 10 minutes, supposedly.

12 dpo: Right when I woke up, I felt some heavy duty period-like cramps and was sure it had arrived. But...it hadn't. Nausea getting much worse and more persistent. I had one HPT left and it was a digital (I hate those--I'd rather look at a line and do an "is it?" or "isn't it?"analysis hehe). I took it in the AM and it was another BFN. I was convinced I was pregnant, so bought more HPTs on the way to work. Took one at work and it was a BFP! (Good use of work time, I might add. Haha)

13 dpo: Another BFP in the AM for good measure. Sore boobs, nauseated...

This thread is really useful. I obsess every day. Since I have PCOS and don't get AF every month.

These are what I think are symptoms:

Sudden spot break out
Craving chewy sweets I never normally eat
Wind (Seems to be a common one lol)
Increase in CM like AF is coming but it's not
Shooting pains in boobies
Extremely tired alot of the time
Having to pee half hour after every drink (Getting a bit ridiculous at work they must think I got something)

I'm also frightened to test though incase its a BFN it's been 8 months of wondering

Hi everyone!!! I am new here and I just want to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE this big thread of early pregnancy symptoms!! It is sooo awesome, it kept me so busy during my super super long 2WW...more like 3WW!!! Just wanted to say I got a light pink line yesterday and a light pink line today...I guess I can say, "I GOT MY !!!"

So here are the "symptoms" I had been feeling for the last 3 weeks...

Uncomfortably bloated all the time
Extremely gassy (This is soo not me!)
Acne breakout (pimples everywhere!!!! Usually only breakout during AF)
lower back ache
Usually super hungry
Swollen breasts with dark blue veins
creamy sticky CM-week before BFP
Crampy (this usually only happened during AF, but i've been cramping for 3 weeks)

The funny thing is I've had all these symptoms while I was waiting for a BFP, but most of them have seemed to have went away this week. The only things I feel right now are bloated, cramping, full breasts, more tired, and very moody!! And to everyone getting BFN's keep your head up, I didn't get my until AF was FOUR DAYS LATE!!!

Iv had no periods for 8 years whilst iv been on the depo injection but i have been off the injection for 13 months now and still no AF. For the last 10 days iv felt nauseous on and off throughout the day and the thought and smell of things has been makng me gag. Ive been shattered and have been sleeping for about 2 to 3 hours each afternoon and still having 8 - 10 hours sleep through the night and stil being shattered. The doc thought i was pregnant but 3 tests later and still BFN. Wish i knew what was going on. I am due to start clomid monday.

Oh and had heartburn twice and always wee a lot.

Oh and has a mad craving for salad cream two weeks ago went through nearly a whole bottle and tried some last night and it made me gag. WTF?

I just got my bfp this week, and I currently have no major symptoms. Well... I have been sleeping more (i dont know if that's a symptom). My nipples are a little sensitive.

Before I tested, I had some light brown spotting with light cramping for 1 day on monday(cd23).

I'm only 4weeks preggo, am I supposed to have more symptoms??

Congrats!
I am in the 2ww and not feeling anything much symptom wise. I just wondered, has anyone heard of trapped wind being a symptom? Really struggling with it over the last couple of days - not something I usually suffer with.

I had less twinges and virtually no symptoms compared to previous months, and am still so surprised we got our !!

In my pregnancy's (4 healthy kids!).. I also had no symptoms other than trapped wind, mild headaches (but had them every day), and on the day af was due frequency of urination set in.
I DO remember the trapped wind because it's not something I regularly suffered with normally..it was very painful!
Good luck!!

come on any one else????

 

[emsiee]

well with my son... i had nothing till about 6 weeks when i woke up one morning and was violently sick..i had no idea at all......even thought my period would still show even though i was 2 weeks late, although i didnt quite feel "myself", cant really explain this...not ill, but not "right".

2nd time around.......absolutely nothing. A big fat nothing. Had no clue whatsoever. and i conceived 1st cycle with this one! Unbelievable!

Now 8dpo, a bit of EWCM up until 8dpo but now its gone. BFN so far but then again, it is still very early but im just impatient!

 

[hibiscus07]

I posted a list of my symptoms from my previous BFP (ended in miscarriage in April) last week and I just got a BFP today at 11 dpo! I'm getting + on CVS early result but nothing yet on FRER. My symptoms were EXACTLY like last time:
sore boobs
swollen boobs/areola (I swear this started two dpo, before implantation. how is that possible?!)
sensitive nips
pressure/bubble feeling in lower abdomen since 5 dpo
dull achy crampiness in abdomen/lower back. Similar to period cramps but very mild, since about 6 dpo
headaches almost everyday (this one is actually new. I didn't get this with the last BFP. I don't usually get headaches at all, ever)
exhaustion (since 7 dpo), slept 11 hours last night! overslept for work...oops
extreme thirst (drinking tons of water since 3 dpo)
metal/weird taste in mouth since maybe 6-7 dpo
gassiness (ugh)

 

[katstar]

i see a sure sign for all women is being gassy. Poor men lol

 

[wannabemamma]

Hmmm, I'm 2 days late but no symptoms and plenty of BFNs!! Very annoying waiting game.
