10dpo symptoms

70 replies

hereforthefood · 14/03/2022 11:54

Hello ladies!

I think I'm about 10dpo, I don't use OPKs or temp so I'm going based on cm, cervix position and how INSTATIABLY horny I was lol.

Symptoms are as follows:
6dpo:

  • Couple of spots of pink on underwear, none when wiping
  • diarrhea (tmi sorry)
  • very sore boobs!! (Not normal for me)
  • AF like cramps
7dpo:
  • more sore boobs and more AF like cramps
  • so angry! Could barely even muster a smile
8dpo:
  • more cramps and sore boobies
  • done a 180 and now have severe constipation
  • bad heartburn in the evening
9dpo:
  • boobs and cramps still hurt but less so
  • still constipated and hating life
  • v bloated (probably from constipation)
  • cervix has gone from firm to soft, and I have a LOT of creamy/wet cm, I feel wet constantly
  • faintest of faint lines on a cheapy test but it was many hours after I took it so more than likely an evap
10dpo (today):
  • constipation has finally eased up a bit but it was not pleasant
  • still quite badly bloated
  • cramps have eased up and boobs are only sore when I touch them

So! What do we think? Anyone else had symptoms like these and gone on to get a bfp? Who's in the same boat as me and when will you be testing?

Omg! I would be testing again if I were you! Maybe those early response ones! Sounds like you are expecting! Fingers crossed for you!!!

@Cheeeeeeeks ahh don't tempt me like that! I was thinking of waiting until Wednesday (12dpo) as I'm off and DP is WFH so we can spend all day in a new pregnancy bubble if it's positive! I have 1 FRER but don't want to use it until I get a faint line on a cheapy.
Does it not sound concerning that my cramps and sore boobs have been easing up a bit? Makes me think I'm out this month :(

If you have the willpower then wait till Wednesday. Sounds so very exciting! Symptoms might come and go so I wouldn't worry. Your never out till AF comes!

@Cheeeeeeeks ah fab, that's good to know thank you! There's honestly a very good chance I'll end up testing tonight but I'm having trouble holding my wee for long enough for it to be worth it. Another symptom that started today potentially🤔

Hello, this is my first time posting! I feel like I'm in the same position as you @hereforthefood. I'm 11DPO, for the passed week I've had cramping, sometimes in the middle, a lot on the left side and a few times on my right side. I've had sore boobs, which also feel fuller. I've been feeling bloated and emotional at anything. Yesterday I felt so sick mid-morning to the mid-afternoon and I've been feeling extra tired and experienced some watery CM. Today, no sickness, I have hardly any cramps and sore boobs are not as sever. Do you think I'm out? I've not tested yet, I'm too scared, to save myself the disappointment.

Cheeeeeeeks · 14/03/2022 14:23

Ooo good luck! Does sound like another symptom! I think I'm currently 2 or 3 DPO I usually get sore boobs a week for AF so this is new for me. Planning to test as soon as I'm 8dpo, lol although I expect a BFN.
Is this your first time trying?

Cheeeeeeeks · 14/03/2022 15:01

@Rhianne18 hi, fingers crossed for you both!!! With my first I didn't think I was pregnant, I just thought I didn't catch the fertile window so I didn't symptom spot. But after having cramps (still thinking AF on the way) I decided to test anyway (couple of days before AF was due) and to my surprise it was a BFP! Looking back afterwards, I had a really bad flu around 7DPO and had everything @hereforthefood described, diarrhea (sorry tmi) being the obvious symptom in my case as I never had it as bad as I did that time. Hence why I think @hereforthefood might get a BFP!

Rhianne18 · 14/03/2022 15:08

@Cheeeeeeeks Good Luck for testing on 8DPO, keeping everything crossed for you. Oh I wish could be more like that and not symptom spot, I over think everything and worry that's what I'm doing this month. I agree, does sound like @hereforthefood is expecting :) keeping everything crossed for a BNP for you!

@Rhianne18 ooh your symptoms sound good, FX for a bfp this month! We can test together if you like?

@Cheeeeeeeks Ty! We weren't technically trying, I have suspected PCOS so we just haven't been preventing anymore as we know it can take a while, this is our first month doing so (month 9 since I came off the pill), although we'd be very excited for a LO! Thank you for your experience, you are making me very hopeful! So you were around 12dpo when you tested? Did you use a FRER?

OP posts:
Rhianne18 · 14/03/2022 15:36

@hereforthefood Yes, let's test together, when do you plan on testing? According to my app, AF is due Wednesday.

miamiamia869 · 14/03/2022 17:07

@Rhianne18 your symptoms sound positive. I am 12 days past ovulation and due on tomorrow. I experience some twinges/cramps exactly the same as you at around 6 days passed ovulations. No other symptoms until today where I am moody as hell and eating everything in sight (this is normal for me when I'm due on so not sure. Few more days. I plan to test on Saturday if my period doesn't come.

Rhianne18 · 14/03/2022 18:00

@miamiamia869 I keep worrying I’m overthinking everything and I’m just getting early AF symptoms! Your symptoms on 6dpo sound like implantation pains! Hoping that AF stays away and you get BFP this month! You have lots of willpower holding out until Saturday to test!

miamiamia869 · 14/03/2022 18:10

I don't know if high willpower or low bank balance lol. I think it's a mix of the both. I know I'm quite irregular too so I don't wana dishearten myself with negative results. Thank you so much I hope you get a BFP too. If we do we would be very similar dates :-) xxx

Moosh18 · 14/03/2022 18:59

@hereforthefood all sounds so promising for you!!! I'm 8dpo and have the most painful bloating!!!

miamiamia869 · 14/03/2022 19:25

@Cheeeeeeeks my friend has pcos and didn't think she would be able to fall. She fell instantly with her "friend with benifits" luckily they hit it of and stayed together. They now have 2 with no struggles xx

Rhianne18 · 14/03/2022 19:31

@miamiamia869 I hear you! TTC is so expensive, with all the vitamins, ovulation and pregnancy tests! I totally understand that, that’s why I haven’t tested yet as I fear the disappointment! Ooo, yes we will have similar dates! Is this your first time trying?

@Rhianne18 I managed to avoid testing this morning before work, I'm thinking of doing it tomorrow morning, I'll be about 12dpo then (I think). We can update with results in the morning, yeah?

Quick update for me: no AF, constipation is back with a vengeance and subsequently, so is the bloating (doubt the huge amounts of crusty bread I ate last night helped there). While in bed yesterday I also had this awful sharp pain at the top of my right boob. These pains usually disappear instantly and leave no trace but it lasted a while and my DP ended up having to massage it to alleviate the painGrin

Some new things to add are the fact that my cardio stamina has disappeared and I literally get exhausted doing a 10 minute cycle whereas I was cycling 40 mins a day a couple of weeks ago?? Also, my coworker arrived at work yesterday and asked me what I'd done to my skin bc it looks gorgeous and glowing (had no makeup on)! Obviously not clear signs of anything but definitely worth noting!

Rhianne18 · 15/03/2022 08:19

@hereforthefood I resisted testing this morning too. I was thinking tomorrow also, as that is when my AF is due, I'll be 13DPO. Your symptoms are certainly sounding positive, FX for you. I feel incredibly sick this morning, however I also feel like this when I have a migraine coming which I always get around/after AF, so I'm trying to not read too much into it. My boobs have still been sore, but get worse throughout the day, by the evening they feel huge and really tender to touch. Good luck for testing in the morning!

hereforthefood · 15/03/2022 08:25

@Rhianne18 ooh, hopefully it's BFPs all round tomorrow! FX this migraine doesn't indicate AF, it's a pregnancy migraine ofc! My boobs haven't changed since they stopped growing after puberty, hormones don't seem to affect them so they don't usually ache throughout my cycle, so all this aching this month is definitely suspicious🤔

OP posts:
Rhianne18 · 15/03/2022 08:45

@hereforthefood oh that does sound suspicious, especially that you don't get any soreness any other time! Is this your first time trying?

hereforthefood · 15/03/2022 09:06

@Rhianne18 yes this is our first month not using any contraception method whatsoever so I'm hopeful, what about you?

At the risk of sounding like a crazy woman, I have more symptoms incoming lol:

  • Cervix is high and soft
  • My heart rate that is typically around 60-62bpm is (right now) at 72bpm. Unsure if it's because I'm standing and have been for the last few hours (although I'm doing fuck all while standing) or if it's something... Else😌

Rhianne18 · 15/03/2022 09:17

@hereforthefood how amazing would it be that you've fallen on your first month of trying. This is our 3rd cycle trying for our first.

Your symptoms sound so promising :)

@Rhianne18 it honestly would be a dream, didn't believe it would happen first time after being told my ovaries are littered with cysts! I don't want to be too optimistic but these symptoms are fully convincing me I'm pregnant, like there's very little doubt in my mind at this point.

I hope this is your month! Wouldn't it be lovely to have a little November baby, just in time for Christmas!🥺

OP posts:
Rhianne18 · 15/03/2022 10:23

@hereforthefood How lovely would that be after that news, It's not just you, I'm pretty convinced that you are too.

Oh, It really would be amazing, I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much as our first month of trying I was pretty convinced and I wasn't, so I'm worried that's what I'm doing again this month.

It's my birthday on Friday, so I'll either be in a new pregnancy bubble or I'll be able to have a glass of wine :)
