Hi Ladies,

Thought it might be helpful to start a thread with your symptoms by DPO and update at the end if you got your :bfp: or the :witch: arrived.
I know how crazy us ladies can go in the 2ww so if it stops us going half as crazy then this thread is going to be helpful for us all <3
Feel free anyone who has already got their :bfp: to post their symptoms for us all to see :)

I will start us off: (will edit as the days go on)
1DPO - nothing
2DPO - creamy CM, cramps on and off all day mainly in the right side, slight headache when woke up and sore breasts.
3DPO - watery CM, cramps continued all day in the right side and towards the middle, 2 sneezing fits and cold symptoms (runny nose), constipation, increased appetite and sore breasts, itchy skin from head to toe.
4DPO - watery creamy CM, sharp shooting cramps in the right side, one nostril bunged up, breasts not as sore as previous days, lower back ache, smelly gas.
5DPO - very weird vivid dreams throughout the night, smelly gas, breasts really sore to touch near to the armpit, dull achy stomach cramps.
6DPO - watery cm, the odd dull cramp and very sore breasts, again another very strange vivid dream, exhausted and tired, headache.
7DPO - AWFUL nights sleep, extreme fatigue and feel absolutely exhausted, runny nose one minute and blocked up the next, a slight headache, boobs less tender and sore today, sharp shooting pain in right breast, shooting pains in right side of stomach for around 10 secs (made me go 'ouch')

1dpo I started feeling sick, but it was probably the cold going round the nursery I work at rather than morning sickness.

7dpo I got some spotting in the afternoon, I also had pinchy cramps (felt v different to AF, sort of high pitched if that makes sense rather than the low pitched ache of AF).

8dpo spotting was a little worse (5p size on a pad), pinchy cramps continued, felt pregnant byt this point so spotting upset me more than it just being another AF.

9dpo less spotting, possibly got a line on a cheapy, DH could see something and so could my friend a work but not dark enough to be sure. I slept badly, vivid upsetting dreams and then woke up sick and hungry at the same time and in need of a wee!

10dpo Real BFP on an early after waking up early again feeling sick, hungry and needing a wee! Spotting basically gone although cm seems slightly darker maybe (never really had much cm to compare though). Boobs starting to get bigger and more tender although normally this would happen earlier for AF. I've also been feeling hotter to the touch but since I don't temp I can only go by feel.

11dpo blood test test at the doctors, felt really hungry

13dpo results from the doctors confirmed that i'm pregnant, boobs feeling really tender and I already overflow some of my smaller bras, i'm in my AF bras now! Back starting to ache off and on but nothing too bad. 2 spots on my jawline. More tired than usual.

15dop getting really tired in the evenings now, was asleep by 7pm!

16dpo starting to get real morning sickness today

3DPO &#8211; didn&#8217;t note anything down

5DPO &#8211; lotiony/watery CM, gassy

6DPO &#8211; achey boobs, lotiony/watery CM, severe cramps that felt like AF/dodgy tum (was in excruciating pain that night), a heavy uncomfortable feeling down there, little bit of backache, 2 tiny spots on face, feeling nauseous, bloated, gassy

When we finally got out BFP after so long trying, I can honestly say I had no symptoms whatsoever. The only reason I tested (it had been so long that I wasn't going to waste money on tests unless AF was properly late) was because AF was late for the first time ever and even then I still waited several days as I was convinced she was on her way as usual. I never got symptoms pre AF either so I just felt completely normal. If I wasn't trying and didn't know my cycles so well, I'd have gone months before I would have even realised I was pregnant!! So no symptoms definitely doesn't mean your out!!
 
Pretty much all days watery cm
Just randomly craved toast then when started eating it thought..why yuk (lol)

Here's my notes from my BFP cycle:

1dpo - Nipples hurt (they always hurt for a day or two after O)

2dpo - 4dpo - Nothing

5dpo - Sore lower back all day. At work, felt absolutely horrible stabbing pain + period cramps for about 5mins. I thought AF was about to start, as the pain was so bad. It was gone as fast as it came. I then had a lot of creamy CM, which made me think AF had started. Bleeding gums when I brushed my teeth at night.

6dpo - Crampy/aching/heavy uterus all day. Not period cramps though. My uterus area felt bruised. Every time I took a step it felt like I was overstretching a pulled muscle. Gums were bleeding when I brushed my teeth at night again.

7dpo - Period cramps all day, bleeding gums again.

8dpo - Stronger period cramps, they actually woke me up at night. I was pretty sure AF would be arriving in the morning, as I felt exactly the same as I usually do on CD1. Gums stopped bleeding.

9dpo - Period cramps still bad all day. They woke me up again. I was shocked AF hadn't come considering how long I'd been having cramping. I took a cheap eBay test in the evening and thought I saw a possible faint BFP, though it could've been an evap. I didn't trust it as I really thought AF was going to show.

10dpo - Woke up feeling nauseated and I still had period cramps. Decided to use a FRER with FMU, even though I was fairly sure it would be negative. Had the shock of my life when I saw a very clear BFP! The strong cramps continued all day.

11dpo - The cramps eased off a bit and felt more like stretching than period cramps. I still had some period cramping, but it wasn't constant. I took a second FRER and the line was much darker! I felt nauseated in the morning again and had a headache in the evening.

12dpo - Mild cramps were still coming and going. Sometimes they felt like AF, sometimes they felt like stretching. I felt very nauseated from 8am - 1pm then again at 9pm. Headache in the evening again.

13dpo - Nauseated from 8am - 12pm. Very tired all day despite having 10 hours sleep. Cramps still coming and going. They're worse when I'm walking around. Headache from midday. Had another FRER so I used it just to confirm HCG is going up. The line was darker again so I'm feeling positive.

14dpo - no AF!
 
Mine so far (from what I've noted):

6DPO – achey boobs, lotiony/watery CM, severe cramps that felt like AF/dodgy tum (was in excruciating pain that night), a heavy uncomfortable feeling down there, little bit of backache, 2 tiny spots on face, feeling nauseous, bloated, gassy

I had just this, but unfortunately i was at work and wanted to roll up into a ball under my desk. 6dpo is the main day past ovulation where i thought i might have actually caught.

FX this is your cycle :dust:

Oooh this is interesting! The pains were so intense that night that I was in tears, then next morning I had my big temp dip, so possible it could have been implantation, will soon find out! x

Anymore updates? When the original post is updated, it is hard to know what info is new/you don't want to re-read what you've read.. maybe dates with dpo might be helpful :)
 
Sorry to hear ladies. TTC is a bitch isn't it :( x
