Ttc2020no2 · 27/08/2020 17:31

Hi there. I know some people say you can't feel any pregnancy symptoms this early but I know my body so well and usually before af arrives, i have no symptoms but when pregnant i do. I'm 5dpo and i have been feeling so tired, boobs slightly hurt and I'm bloated. Has anyone else had symptoms early and got their bfp later? I'm so hoping this is the month lol xx Smile

Hello I thought I’d reply because nothing worse than posting a thread that just seems to get lost and with no responses! I posted one today like that.

I’m 2dpo today, I think I ovulated on the 25th as I felt my body being a bit funny, got my positive opk on 23rd however.

I’ve been ttc since January and I’ve had symptoms resulting in a bfn but also had no symptoms resulting in a bfp which ended in a very very early loss.

Mother Nature plays horrible tricks but I hope you get your bfp x

Thank you hunny for replying. I'm 100% with you on this. I've also been trying since jan and had an mc at 6 weeks in may amd cp twice since then. I had af last month and just new i wasn't pg but this month i do feel abit different. I know what you mean by after O you feel abit different too.
I'm 6dpo now ish i think. Are you having symptoms at all? This symptom spotting is awful lol xx
When i had my son 7 years ago, i didn't realise until 13 weeks so it's hard to compare. I'm also 42 now so i worry with my age xxxx

Because you have had 3 losses have you spoken to your GP regarding recurrent miscarriages?

The upside is that you are conceiving and hopefully GP can look into why they aren’t sticking. I hope you get your sticky bfp this time around!

I have no symptoms at all, probably won’t have any this two week wait. I’ve kind of gotten into a routine where I’m not expecting to fall pregnant soon, half a year has passed and it’s normal to take a year. I’ve become kind of numb to it all tbh x

Ttc2020no2 · 28/08/2020 14:17

I know what you mean hun. I try and keep my hopes up but it is hard sometimes. Yes spoken to gp and have been referred to a ckinic but i actually think I'm fine its just taking its time to be the right egg i guess because of my age xx

That’s great that it’s getting looked into. Hopefully it’ll give you some clarification.

How’s the symptom spotting going today x

Ttc2020no2 · 28/08/2020 15:26

I'm super tired after midday last couple of days. Do you know much about bbt? My temps have been 97.91 f and 97.95f im wondering if that shows I've ovulated too. I don't use opk as don't work for me. The other thing is the watery cm but thats it. Definitely feels different to last month leading up to af. How about you? Maybe its me just hoping and praying .lol xx

OP posts:
Bubleee · 28/08/2020 16:24

I’ve never temped as I don’t think I would manage with the consistency it requires.

I use opks and even then it’s a stab in the dark as I don’t actually know when I ovulate as have no ovulation pain like some people do. This month I just felt something funny on 25th aug so assuming it was ovulation but I could be completely wrong.

I have a long wait ahead of me as my periods due around 10 September - I have 33 day cycles usually x

Ttc2020no2 · 28/08/2020 16:52

Mine are 28 days. Its a horrible waiting game at times. Have you any other children? I have one son who is 7 xx

Bubleee · 28/08/2020 17:39

Same! girl who’s 7! At least 28 is quicker than 33! My tww’s absolutely draggggg x

Ttc2020no2 · 28/08/2020 18:49

Hey, yes I seem to get symptoms very early in pregnancy. I’ve read a lot of comments that it’s not possible to get symptoms that early after conception but for me it’s undeniable as it hits me like a freight train.

With my first pregnancy I had symptoms from around 6/7dpo, I had absolute crushing fatigue, dizzy spells, cramping and headaches. I just knew I was pregnant, I felt like my body had been taken over. I tested at 11dpo and got a BFP, he’s now a happy 4 year young old sleeping next to me!

We’ve been ttc #2 recently, I got the same symptoms in May. I just knew that I was pregnant, I got a faint positive 4 days before AF was due but this one turned into a chemical pregnancy, I started bleeding only 4 hours after the positive test.

I’m now in the ttw this month, I think I’m around 6dpo but I’ve been hit with the same fatigue again with bloating a cramping. I can just tell that something is up with my body but I’m going to have to wait a least a week to test. I’m rather surprised though as these symptoms came up super early, we only dtd a week ago and the fatigue started only 5 days after dtd which I would have though was way too early. But I just know how this feels, so I’ll guess I’ll have to wait and see!

Good luck everyone!

Kausi · 28/08/2020 22:44

Oh and I’ve also had terrible digestive issues this past week that aren’t usual for me. I can’t remember if this happened with my first pregnancy. I had one bout of diarrhoea 2 days ago followed by constipation (sorry, tmi), very gassy, feeling full and hungry at the same time and an acidy feeling in my belly. I’m about to go to bed and I know that I’ll need a glass of milk before I can go to sleep.

Ttc2020no2 · 29/08/2020 01:02

@38Kausi hey hun. Thank you for your message. Hope we all get our bfps this month. Are u having any other symptons? My boobs are full, watery cm and im aching in my tummy. Xx

OP posts:
Kausi · 29/08/2020 11:21

I have sore boobs too, side boob soreness! But I wouldn’t say that it’s any different to any regular month. I’ve pretty much come to realise that if my side boobs hurt then I know that I’ve ovulated. I’m not feeling quite so wiped out today but I still have fullness and cramping.

With my first pregnancy a very early symptom was having hot flashes, I’ve not really had that this month.

Ttc2020no2 · 29/08/2020 12:25

I feel same as you today hun. For me less boob pain but still feeling abit full and constipated abit too. When is your af due? Mine is sat next week zx

Flowersandfireworks · 29/08/2020 12:25

Hi, can I tag along? Need talking down from the testing ledge at 8dpo 🙈 my temperature is higher than usual, have lots of watery cm and one sore boob! Hoping to hold out until Monday at least. Is anyone else hoping to test soon? Fingers crossed for us all!

Kausi · 29/08/2020 13:28

I’m not due my period until 8th September but I think I ovulated early. I’m going to test Tuesday morning as I’m away then for a few days, that should be 10/11dpo.

I’ve not been temping this time, but it’s a good second indicator if you are.

Ttc2020no2 · 29/08/2020 15:33

Sounds good to me hunny. Are you feeling tired at all too. X

OP posts:
Ttc2020no2 · 29/08/2020 15:44

@Flowersandfireworks yes of course hun. Whats your temp atm. Mine is 36.46 but 36.7 afew days ago xx

OP posts:
Flowersandfireworks · 29/08/2020 16:02

It’s been about 36.55 since ovulation this time. Jumped way up to 36.81 this morning but got up a couple of times to go to the loo in the night so discounting that one. Due on on Weds 😬

Ttc2020no2 · 29/08/2020 17:27
