Ttc - what were your symptoms before bfp?

[clacko]

Hey ladies.

I'm 4dpo now and so far all of today it felt like af had arrived but whenever I check it's just lots of white lotiony cm in my underwear. Also feeling down and emotional, can't seem to get warm and getting stabbing pains at the top of one of my breasts where me arm pir joins my arm :-/ also had heart burn this morning!

Congratulations to you all x

I didn't really get symptoms until around 8dpo, then I had a weird burning sensation in my right breast, then my nipples became itchy, I got my bfp the next day at 9dpo

I didn't have any symptoms until around 8-9DPO, although I got a very faint positive at 7DPO. I only tested because I just had a feeling.

My first symptom was nausea though

I had absolutely nothing different to any other cycle. I was ill anyway, and didn't think we'd bd'd close enough to ovulation to have a chance at a bfp, so I wasn't symptom spotting, but nothing stood out to me. I had all my usual pre-AF symptoms, sore boobs, chocolate cravings, bloating, irritability, etc.

I usually start spotting at 5dpo and carry on until AF arrives, and the only thing that tipped me off that I might be pregnant was that the spotting stopped completely at 11dpo, even after bd. I took my temp the next morning and it hadn't dropped (my lp is only very rarely longer than 11-12 days) so I tested at 12dpo and got a positive on an IC.

My boobs then stayed sore and got a lot worse, but my m/s didn't kick in until around week 6.

I hope you get your bfp soon

Absolutely nothing.

I got bfp at 9dpo with a luteal phase of 9 days, I had no symptoms in fact I'd given up hope that month lol. Only thing I can think of is I woke up one morning vomiting. But that was once so it could also just be sickness bug x good luck hope you get a bfp soon xx

I didn't have any symptoms that stood out before AF except 13 dpo I woke up from a bad dream, literally crying. It was the weirdest thing. I didn't test until I was 16dpo because I didn't have any symptoms apart from my normal sore bbs. Even since getting a bfp I've only experience a few cramps and my bbs are still tender. Best of luck to you!

Cramp, backache a couple of days before positive test and my boobs were bigger..

 

[JenBG]

I felt very tired, starting only a few days after O. I am usually a night owl and my husband always wants to go to bed before I do, but I was going to bed at least an hour earlier than I usually would, and just didn't have a lot of energy to do a whole lot during the day. Actually, I still feel like this, but now I'm lightheaded, too.

Sore boobs, tiredness

 

[jessieJ24]

A bit of insomnia and thirsty.. but nothing id notice if my period wasnt late

 

[beth30]

Wasn't tracking my dpo because this pregnancy is a bit of a surprise. However, the week before AF was due, I vomited once out of the blue... heartburn, very tired (had to nap everyday) but the one symptom that made me say...I'm pregnant before taking a test was not being able to hold off on using the bathroom, if I got the urge to pee, I had to go... no holding it at all... oh and a huge amount of watery cm.

 

[babypeanut25]

My cm tipped me off. It was creamy mixed with very slimy snotty cm.

 

[Zeri]

My only symptom was implantation pain at 7 dpo. I also had Af cramps after bfp up to 14 dpp, and after.

 

[ParisJeTadore]

I didn't have any symptoms until after af was due by a week. Then I had very low lying cramping, and indigestion/constipation.

 

[friskyfish]

After Ttc for 2 years, I used to obsessively symptom spot each month, convinced I would get a bfp! I also used to poas from 6dpo till AF arrived. I can honestly say, my symptoms were that little, that I didn't believe I was pregnant until I tested when my period was 3 days late.
My first symptom I guess was creamy cm, but I've had this other months before....the thing that made me think 'hello...this is new' was a stabbing pain in my boobs, I used to get sore boobs before af, but this was a real sharp pain & they felt like they were throbbing! I also had tummy cramps the day before af was due, had to lie down with a hot water bottle as they were that bad, I just assumed it was af pains.
But af never came & I'm having my 12 week scan tomorrow

So, lack of symptoms isn't always a bad thing.

Good luck

I only tested because I was, like, a week and a half late (but I'm irregular anyway). I was still cramping like I normally do and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Looking back, I guess I was a LOT more tired than usual...but that's it. Still exhausted all of the time, lol.

 

[kwynia]

Symptoms have been strong smell sensitivity (the odor of printing ink on a brochure was overwhelming and my husband couldn't even smell anything), I've had mild on and off cramping every day for the past week (that is unusual for me, I really only cramp around ovulation and during my AF, not before). I initially had some loose BM's but now have constipation (I had this problem throughout both of my other pregnancies). Mild nausea, food aversions (especially raw meat) and dizzy spells for the past week.

Before I got my BFP I was exhausted (having to go to bed before 8pm!) and felt nauseaus xx
