Hi everybody
So, hubby and I have been ttc our second child for 9 months this month. Every month I have had ‘symptoms’ of being pregnant that were basically just boob soreness, and cramps and some twinges in my the tummy that always ended up with at arriving.
This month however I have had a crazy time with symptoms so different to any other month that I am CONVINCED I must be pregnant. However, today at 11dpo (according to Clearblue digital ovulation tests) I got a bfn on a first response . . My heart says it’s still too early (due af in 3 days - I have regular 28 day cycles) but my head says if these were symptoms of pregnancy then the h h would have to be high enough to show on a test by now. Hubby and I bd’d for 6 days leading up to ovulation day, ovulation day itself and the 2 after just to be sure.
Have any of you lovely ladies had LOADS of physical symptoms but not tested positive until days later? I have listed my symptoms below (sorry for the long list but it’s been a LONGGGGGG month) 🤪🙏😰
CD13 - Late pm stabbing/tugging low down right side
CD14 - Solid smiley face on Clearblue digital ovulation test indicating ovulation window
CD16 - 2dpo - Tugging and cramping in lower tummy and cramp in right knee
CD17 - 3dpo - VERY gassy and bloated
CD18 - 4dpo - VERY gassy and bloated - so tired that I came home early when out shopping and just felt like I needed to sit down as standing felt uncomfortable (weird!)
CD19 - 5dpo - Gassy, cramping, bloated and had vivid dreams last night - I NEVER tend to dream since I was a kid
CD20 - 6dpo - Gassy, cramping, bloated and more vivid dreams last night. VERY hungry and tired. Diarrhea.
CD21 - 7dpo - Gassy, bloated, greasy hair and 2 spots appeared. Tired and hungry and cried twice today (I barely cry these days). Feel exactly like I do the day before af is coming but it’s not due for another week?!
CD22 - 8dpo - More vivid dreams, slept in the day, stomach looks 4-5 months pregnant it’s so bloated. EXHAUSTED. Diarrhea. Bloated. FRER BFN.
CD23 - 9dpo - Vivid dreams AGAIN. Slept for almost 2 hours today (I never sleep in the day). Stomach is crazy huge and I am SO TIRED like I can’t function tired. Diarrhea. Nausea first thing in the morning. FRER BFN.
CD24 - 10dpo - More dreams last night. Slept in the day again. Stomach is enormous/bloated but not uncomfortable at all. Exhausted. Diarrhea. Nausea for a few minutes. FRER BFN.
CD25 - 11dpo - Dreams again last night! Diarrhea this morning twice! Stomach not as huge but still bloated. Exhausted and crazy hungry. FRER BFN.
My cm (cervical mucus) is always crazy abundant CD8 to CD15 which it was this month too for ovulation BUT every other month I then have about a week of white thickish cm then nothing until af arrives. This month though since ovulation I have had only clear/more watery and ‘gluey’ cm which is only visible when I wipe. I have also added 2 photos of this mornings test - just Incase anyone can see a squinter lol 🙏
