What were your symptoms and about how many DPO did you get them?

Have any of you experienced fertile cm AFTER ovulation and before your BFP?
 
Hey lovely....my main one which is odd for me as i didnt have it till the end with my boys is Heartburn.:wacko: Constipation and gas,how lovely!:dohh: Fingers crossed for you lovely.:hugs:

I had the egg white cm before my BFP with all the boys..
 
At about 5DPO i had a little cramping and spotting which i now know was implantation bleeding. Other than that i didnt really have any other clues untill i missed my period xxx
 
I had some twingey cramps between 3dpo-5dpo. They stopped after that, at which point I started having vivid dreams and continuing temperature rises. I had a temperature dip at 6dpo, and then it just kept going up, up, up. My breasts started feeling heavy and tender at the end of 10dpo. 11dpo my husband noticed that they looked a bit bigger, as did my nipples. From 9dpo my lower abdomen felt tight, like I'd done too many crunches. As far as CM goes, it was pretty average for me. I got BFNs on 9dpo and 10dpo, then my BFP at 12dpo.
 
Hello

I usually get a spot on my chin when I'm about to get my period, a week beforehand. It didn't appear so that was my first sign this time.

At about 10 DPO when I was pregnant with my son, my boobs felt REALLY sore all of the time, heavier too. I couldn't touch them. This time its more shooting pains and sore nipples from time to time.

At about 15 DPO I began getting minor heart palpitations and a weird stabby cramps deep down in my tummy when I coughed or sneezed. Along with hot flushes and waves of nausea.

As for the CM - all the time! It seems to come and go but when its there, its always milky in colour and thick.
 
Thanks guys :) Nat--you've given me some hope! I had fertile CM today but I was certain I ovulated on the third...

If anyone else is reading this I'd love to read more :)
 
I know I ovulated on Nov. 17th... I had o pains and ewcm. We dtd on the 16th and 18th so I know that one of those days landed me pg. :) 3 dpo I was having odd hot flashes at a friends house and I didn't think much of it but I asked her if she was hot and she said no and she said "you're pregnant". I just said whatever at that point. The next day I felt blah... Around 6 dpo I noticed larger/darker nipples then I got my bfp at 8dpo. Crazy huh? I had NO cm during the "two week wait".

wow, crazy! did your friend say that as a joke or was she sincere? OH asked me that yesterday as he smiled and gave me a tight sincere hug...hmm...
 
She said it jokingly. :) She knew that we weren't trying but weren't preventing...So when I called her the weekend of Thanksgiving (while she was out of town) she didn't answer but called me back and I when I answered I said hello and she said, "you're pregnant" and I started laughing. She just knew :) We have been good friends for about 8 years. Pretty funny though, huh? :)
 
The only symptoms I had before my BFP was constipation and gas... I thought AF was coming cuz my temps were going down, then at 11 DPO they went up a bit, and 12 DPO they were still up a bit, and 13 DPO they shot right up - I tested that morning and got a faint BFP, then at 14 DPO got a BFP on a digital.

Looking back I for sure thought AF was coming, sore breasts like usual, cramps a few days before AF, headaches... but it never came - and I'm still praying it stays away!

Good luck to you!!
 
For me it was total exhaustion. I was traveling for work 8dpo to 12dpo so I didn't test until I got home but just knew I was way more exhausted than I should have been! Other than that I didn't notice anything different until a few days after BFP when the bbs pain became unbearable!

Hope for the best for you!
 
gas, constipation, cramping, breast tingling, throbbing, nipples sore(bb felt hot)having crazy dreams, white cm, twinges on right side, hot flashes and headaches. 31Dec faint bfp. 1Jan, 2Jan, 3Jan BFP with 3 first response hpt. Fxd for u
 
same EXACT symptoms as if AF was coming. Sore boobs, cramps, pms, everything.
 
For me the tell tale sign is yellow tinged CM (& lots of it!). Also a couple of crazy vivid dreams in the run up to getting my BFP.
 
My only symptom was AF like cramps starting at 8 DPO. I got my BFP at 11 DPO. Tender nipples and gas are my usual AF symptoms so I did not care much about those.
 
I had fertile cm arpund 6dpo which I thought was odd, as I dont usually get that.
apart from that nothing really apart from a few cramps, twinges which I could easily mistaken as af on her way.
 
thanks guys! this is really helping me in the 2ww, and it helps all us hopefuls out there :)

Keep 'em coming!
 
I had sore boobs and mild cramping from a few dpo then about 14+15dpo my belly was also really bloated I then got my bfp at about 17dpo (it was my first month in two and a half years of not testing for ovulation so dpo's are approx!)

Good luck!
 
Well for me, I usually start spotting for a 4-5 days before AF. The month I got pregnant, I started spotting at about this time as usual, so just thought I was out for the month again. Started using liners but it didn't get any heavier and in fact just went away. I was suspicious at this point but really didn't want to get my hopes up as we'd been trying for 2 and a half years. Then the weekend I was due AF, we were in Paris and I noticed that I was knackered from all the walking around. For me that was weird, as I can usually walk for miles and miles. Also, my boobs started to hurt, which was also strange, as usually they hurt after OV but before AF they stop hurting.

I was convinced I was preggers and wanted to buy a test, but DH said I couldn't as would ruin our weekend if it was negative. But on our last day there I bought one (think was 14dpo) and it was positive - couldn't believe it!!

Good luck xxxx
 
5dpo slight cramping 8dpo I had constipation and abundant cm itching boobs (which continued on and off Till even today) 10dpo I noticed my urine smelt really strong 11 dpo strong cramp and abundant cm( to the point thought af was due) that night my cervix felt like it was stinging next day period due. Nothing so I tested with clear blue digital and it was positive gl hun x
