Let’s symptom spot while TTW’ing because why not

[Mrsbg1990]

I’ll go first..Peak ovulation day was yesterday according to app so I’ll happily take the absolutely bonkers crown. So I had acid reflux this morning - never get that and only had cereal (milk was fresh)
Slight nausea here and there and felt tired all day.
I had a MMC in November waited 3months before TTC as I needed a smear. Started TTC last month but turned out to be a CP. Looking forward to hearing about your symptoms x

Hey @Mrsbg1990 I'll join you because whyyy not I'm 8dpo today at a guess earliest I could be in 6dpo had a lot of issues with opks this month after a chemical last month,
No symptoms really apart from a sharp lower left back pain last night for a minute or two now gone I have this last month at 9dpo 3 days before BFP! Xx

Joining in - first month ttc and I know I'm going completely cray-cray 😂😬Good luck @Mrsbg1990 @Jely123 - let me know how you go!

What it has shown me is I really should track ovulation, because I have no clue when that is happening 😂

I definitely feel this is definitively a BFN because all tests so far are a stark negative (and thought I would have something by now), but this lead up to AF (or AF) is so strange this month.

I didn't track ovulation, but here goes!
Cycle length - 28 days (avg). AF usually 4-5 days. Last cycle 26 days, cycle before that was 31 days. We BD every couple of days.

CD14 Day off work with flu
CD15 Tiny cramping feelings. Feeling like heartburn after dinner.
CD16 Heartburn late afternoon. Period-like cramps.
CD17 Pinkish spotting in the morning when wiping. Bit of red blood during sex (this does sometimes happen to me, gyn says it's normal) Stringy, jelly -like clots when showering afterwards, never happened before - could it be from BD over previous days?
CD18 No blood on liner in morning. Slight brown when wiping. Couple of drops of blood in the bowl. Very tired.
CD19 Nothing to report except still really tired.
CD20 Nothing
CD21 Nothing
CD22 Little bit constipated. Very tired.
CD23 Bit bloated, but otherwise nothing.
CD24 Pinkish brown when wiping. Little bit of cramping. Burning nostrils, hayfever feeling. Weird because my shortest cycles are generally 26 days, so this seems few days earlier than I would expect AF.
CD25 Woke up middle of night for toilet, spots of red blood in bowl. Brownish when wiping. Very tired still. No heavy bleeding at all (AF is normally heavy-ish).
CD26 Woke up sneezing non-stop for a couple of minutes. Blew nose and there was small nose bleed. Nothing on liner anymore, just a tiny bit of brown when wiping.

Again, all BFN so far. Is there any slim chance it could be still possible at this point in my cycle?

Hey *@Mrsbg1990* I'll join you because whyyy not I'm 8dpo today at a guess earliest I could be in 6dpo had a lot of issues with opks this month after a chemical last month, No symptoms really apart from a sharp lower left back pain last night for a minute or two now gone I have this last month at 9dpo 3 days before BFP!

Hey @ttcmrsg and *@Jely123. @Jely123* I think I recognise you from some other threads I've joined-I really hope this month is our month. You're slightly ahead of me I'm only 5DPO but have had some symptoms here and there which I will copy paste from another thread I started. Having said that I just don't feel like this is my month. I've covered all basis but I feel it's just going to take time for me. I keep getting pregnancy news from people I know and had a breakdown yesterday which felt good. Even dreaming that people are pregnant smh. Anyway good luck ladies and can't wait to see those BFP's

2DPO-felt tired all day which led to a long nap. Slightly nauseous.

3DPO-more energised and not feeling nauseous but slight discomfort after eating. I have to eat slowly. Very mild but slight body aches today especially muscle around shoulder but could’ve just slept badly. Slightly sore boobs starting just this evening.
4DPO today and feeling super emotional crying at anything. Slight ache around right ovary. Boobs don't feel as achey as they did yesterday so starting to lose hope.

@ttcmrsg the spotting definitely sounds promising. I started tracking ovulation just this month using BBT and OPK. I had two days of positive opk so I’m not actually sure which day I ovulated 😂

Hi!! Would love to symptom spot, although I have no idea what dpo I am. I haven't been tracking since we are only casually ttc and my cycles have been all over the place since I came off the pill end of last year. According to the two apps I use I am either 7dpo or 2dpo but with my quite irregular cycles anything goes!!

I have had a couple of bouts of nausea over the last few days and the odd cramps but nothing else really. I have been exhausted but that is nothing new, to be honest! I am fairly sure I am out this month (gut feeling) but I will enjoy the wait with everyone else too! It's quite exciting!

@Gnashaloulou the more the merrier so hello and welcome. That’s quite a big jump between the 2 apps. I’ve been using BBT and OPKs while also tracking EWCM. I read on a thread that EWCM is probably more reliable as apparently OPKs can lag a bit. Your symptoms sound promising. Like you, I keep thinking I’m out too just a feeling but then I get a symptom and get excited all over again 😂 honestly is an emotional rollercoaster. I hope we all get our BFP that’s we’ve all been dreaming of. This could be our lucky thread 😊 keep us posted with your symptoms. I’ll post an update of mine this evening x

Thank you @Mrsbg1990 ! Strangely, this month my CM has been virtually non-existent. Normally, I would get a fair amount throughout my cycle - I usually have to wear a panty-liner because of it. But this month - nada. Or very little anyway. Currently on CD19 (last cycle was 23 days but the one before that was 35 or something). Will definitely monitor my CM more next cycle. In all honesty, I think getting pregnant will be a case of just dtd when we fancy and hoping we get lucky haha! Kind of what we were planning anyway, but me being me I have been thinking of nothing else but babies. Secretly obsessed. Hopefully in a few months things will have evened out and I will be more clued up on what's going on.

Can't wait to see how everyone else gets on over the next few weeks!

Also in the tww girls 4DPO today, so far this is how it's going:

OD - Ovulation cramps
1DPO - Heavier breasts, headache
2DPO - Cramping, really bad headache
3DPO - Excruciating headache, heavy breasts
4DPO - Same headache, sore nipples, cramps

Honestly the headache is so bad! I never had this last month and it's maybe unrelated but it's awful at night and can still feel the dull ache throughout the day.

I hate the tww! 😫 I feel like I've got so long to go still until I can test lol wish I could just not think about it

@Dreamer30 hopefully the horrible headache is indeed a lovely positive symptom! Sounds promising, fingers crossed for you!

I hate this wait. I don't even know when to plan to test either, thanks to my weird cycles. I am thinking perhaps the 20th. Seems as good as any other day!

I forgot I have had some other weird symptoms that probably aren't even symptoms. Dreadfully sensitive teeth which is a very new occurrence, and this horrible, overpowering smell of poo (the other day) and BO (today!) They're either phantom smells or my personal hygiene isn't quite up to scratch. Hopefully the former haha. I think I'm just broken.

@Gnashaloulou I was taking the relaxed approach when I fell pregnant with the MC I had. After the MC I’ve become completely obsessive I don’t think my husband even know how crazy I’ve become that’s why I come on here to let it all out with similar minded people 😂

On a more serious note though the relaxed approach is better and healthier so stick to that for as long as possible

@Dreamer30 the tww really is awful!! I hope your symptoms lead to a BFP I can’t wait for the announcements hopefully not long left x

@Gnashaloulou @Mrsbg1990 I really hope it's a positive sign ladies because I feel awful! Lol.

Femometer tells me I can test at 10DPO so that'll be Sunday, doesn't seem too long away at all, but we all know how long that wait it on the tww unfortunately!

How is everyone feeling this morning?

I am convinced AF is going to show up soon; creamy cm, low and open cervix and generally just feeling how I usually feel right before she shows...moody and crampy!! Currently CD20 (last cycle was 23 days).

Oh no I really hope it's a false alarm. When are you due af? I don't think this is my month I've hardly got any symptoms. Yesterday I had slightly loose stools it wasn't diarrhoea but it wasn't solid either just somewhere in between and sorry for tmi. I had strange pain in lower left abdomen which lasted about 2 mins. Nothing else other than that so I'm feeling quite disappointed today at 6dpo. How's is everyone else getting on?

Good morning lovely ladies, how are you all? Any update on symptoms? Has anyone started POAS or plans to? I’m 7 or 8dpo today and plan to test on Saturday at 10dpo. Slight sore boobs again today but not much else yet. X

@Mrsbg1990 I'm trying to hold out until Sunday to test lol I'll be 10dpo then. Symptoms are mainly just a headache and cramps, although today I had some shooting pains down below that I've never hard before and it certainly wasn't pleasant! 😖😅 how are you getting on?

Wow the headaches have continued?! And shooting pains that you’ve not experienced before all sounds very promising fingers all the way crossed for you. Have you noticed any changes to CM too? I caved in today and of course got a BFN 😂 hope you’re all well today xx

Yeah unfortunately! I woke up with it today again, just isn't shifting! I've taken paracetamol but it doesn't really help lol. Awh it's too early but I totally understand the need 😅 no, cm has been the same since ovulation, just sort of (tmi) creamy and not much of it but sometimes I feel really wet like on my period but nothing is there. So strange! I hate this waiting! Lol

Hello can I please join, 3dpo first cycle post mc. I also have gut feeling I'm out as I feel like it won't happen quickly for me. I've been trying to keep note of "symptoms" so going forward I know what's normal on tww for me. So far

	1dpo - crampy/periody lower belly, insomnia awake till 4am 
	2dpo - lotion like cm 
	3dpo - wetness/lotion like cm, loose stool

I didn't really notice much symptoms when I got bfp in jan. I think I got it at like 12dpo and I remember in very early pregnancy the only things I noticed was I was wetter and had lots of cm, being really tired, vivid dreams and not sleeping well i.e waking up super early. But I think I got BFP before any of them xx

Hi @justwant2beamum, of course!! I am sorry to hear about your mc, I really hope this is your month for your rainbow baby!! Fingers crossed!!

Well ladies, I am out I think. I woke up to brown tinged discharge so af definitely on her way. I also did a tesco cheapie pregnancy test this morning and it was a bfn. Have no idea how many dpo I am as my cycles have been all over the place since coming off the pill but my last cycle was 23 days. The good news is I am bang on 23 days again this month.

Good luck to everyone else!!

@Dreamer30 the headaches surely have got to mean something! Last cycle I was testing everyday from the first day after ovulation so this is me with a bit of control 😂 regarding CM I’ve been quite dry I’ve seen a spec of creamy and EW on another day. Just 2 days left for you to test how do you feel?

@justwant2beamum I’m so sorry to hear about you MC it’s a really hard thing to go through. I had loose stools around 3DPO too and kinda still is. I’m around 9/10dpo. Wishing you best of luck and please keep us updated with your symptoms. I always love comparing symptom notes.

@Gnashaloulou it could actually be implantation bleeding so don’t consider yourself out until AF is in full force. Also it’s hard to predict whether you’re out this month especially when you’re unsure of how many DPO you are so I would definitely say keep testing again and see what tomorrow’s results bring 😊

Sorry @Gnashaloulou but as others say could be late implantation bleeding? Hopefully you don't get full AF! 🤞🏻

Hello All..!!
I am desperately in need for some experienced talks & suggestion.

Firstly I had PCOS, which eventually got treated thru medication & consulting the Gyn. I have been on pre-Vits & pill since Oct'20 & having a normal regular period.
My last cycle was on 13.03.21, the next was expected to be on 11-13 march, but I was travelling & started bleeding on 29.03.21, the bleeding was not heavier like regular & but more than spotting which lasted for 4 days.
But still I counted it as my early period. So if I considered this as my period, then my OD was on 10.04.21. (I have not skipped my fertile window past 2 months)
Post the OD I have been observing my body very minutely, as I am experiencing the below symptoms: (Now 6DPO)

• Strange cramps in pelvic area & mid abdomen which come & go. (I have never experienced period cramps)
• Lower back ache
• Head Ache
• Tired & Sleepy all the time (Very unlike me)
• Hungry but does not feel like eating much
• Continuous & access burping (Much more than usual)
• Sore nipple & areola area
• Nauseous
• Hot flushes which come & go
• CD is not much to decide from.

I have read tons of articles. Pls can any1 guide me through.

Thanks in advance

Hi @Prraty
It could well be early symptoms of conception but of course it’s hard to distinguish from conception or PMS. From my own experience and research, it is very possible to have symptoms early on although I have read they are normally very mild symptoms. I’ve had symptoms too early on but it’s so hard to tell whether it’s normal especially when we’re purposefully symptom spotting. If you’re 6dpo you can test in a few days and hopefully your symptoms would be more prominent by then too. Good luck lovely and I hope you get your BFP soon x
