Hi,

I just got my BFP at 14DPO, have been TTC for 5 months and have noted all my symptoms every cycle. Here’s my symptoms the cycle I actually conceived. I’ve put an * next to the symptoms I also have in non-conceiving cycles.

Not sure if anyone will even read this but I really hope it helps someone if they do!🤗

1DPO - nothing
2DPO - nothing
3DPO - nothing

4DPO - dribbling in sleep
slightly tingly nipples*
deep period pain feeling in womb*
creamy CM and a LOT of watery CM*
dull ache in left ovary*
constipated*
vivid nightmares*

5DPO - huge BBT drop
dribbling in sleep
vivid nightmares*
stuffy nose*
very constipated*

6DPO - 2nd day temp drop below baseline
full feeling in uterus
sticky/dry CM*

7DPO - 3rd day temp drop below baseline (very unusual for me as my LP temps are usually very high until a day before AF)
constipation*
slight tingle in left nipple*
sticky CM*

8DPO - (didn’t take temp as drank alcohol)
very faint tingling and ache in boobs*
sticky CM*
constipated*

9DPO - BBT very raised
electric shock feeling in boob/side of body x2
night sweats
slightly achey boobs*
Anxious feeling, can’t get breath down*
very constipated*
prominent tingling in right nipple*
dull ache in uterus for a few mins*

10DPO - very raised BBT
hungry very late - made a bacon sandwich at 11pm (unlike me)
lots of watery and sticky CM*
odd faint tingle in nipple*

11DPO - BBT gone down
very painful cramping after sex - made me be physically sick
feeling of fullness in belly
hungry very late - ordered a beef burger at 11pm (unlike me)
lots of white sticky CM*
constipated*
very dull aching in boobs but hardly*

12DPO - BBT drastically went back up
clear skin (unusual for me a few days before AF due)
full feeling in belly
vivid nightmares*
Faint positive FRER 🤞🏼

13DPO - BBT staying high
Decreased appetite
Dizzy when getting up in the night for wee
Very bloated*
Constipated*
Lots of watery/creamy CM*

The main clues for me were craving meat late at night and having 3 low LP temps 5/6/7DPO. Although I have no breast soreness which I’m finding really odd. It was my first clue last time I was pregnant.

A few things about my diet this cycle as I’ve tried everything over the past 5 months:

I ate a pineapple core and Brazil nuts around 6DPO. I drank a cup or two of cinnamon and clove tea from CD1. I also eat A LOT of avocado and eggs. I don’t know if these things actually contributed to me conceiving this cycle but it’s worth noting 😆

A few details for relevance: I BD everyday during my fertile window, maybe even twice a day and the days surrounding my fertile window too (Used OPKs to confirm). I have never had EWCM in my life (even when getting pregnant previously)!! - I drank 500ml of grapefruit juice and took evening primrose oil everyday in my August cycle to try and produce more EWCM and it made no difference.

Really praying this baby sticks. Baby dust to anyone who reads this 🥰

Congratulations on BFP! Hope embryo sticks and flourishes.

Worth noting it takes a number of days for embryo to implant and provoke symptoms. A lot of symptoms people attribute to recent conception can also happen before, or during a period flow. And some of any given day. Just to manage expectations of those TTC.

@Outliers

Thank you so much 🤞🏼

And yes I know, that's why I put the * next to the symptoms I also experienced in non-conceiving cycles so it's clearer and doesn't give others false hope of any symptoms x

Congratulations however I think your just reading too much into your early symptoms as it takes 5-6 days for the egg to travel down the fallopian tube before It then hatches and attaches to the lining and starts secreting hcg.
I just had an ivf transfer and was informed by the fertility consultant the hatching process of a fertilised embryo can take 1-2 days

Ellemay1 · 04/11/2023 15:35

@BlackLotus

Thank you. Yes that's why I put a * by all those early symptoms to show that I had them in non-conceiving cycles as well - therefore are probably unrelated to me conceiving this cycle. ☺️

How did you measure Basal body temperature? vaginally or orally?

OliviaO · 24/08/2024 14:00

Hi, great to hear about this positive test, I hope it means a physiological pregnancy for you!
However, I don't understand why you go into TWW details ? Thanks !

Sorry I quoted the wrong message! I was answering @Angellove2024 question

The 3 methods are correct

Congratulations OP! Wishing you a healthy happy pregnancy.

I'm currently pregnant with my second and my first symptom in both pregnancies was a missed period, shortly followed by sore boobs. Nothing at all before that.

Sickness and all that jazz didn't hit till 6/7 weeks.
