The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

Bump

Hey ladies

Time to add some more symptoms to this thread. Here's my little diary of early pregnancy symptoms.....

5dpo - Started getting twinges in my sides which came and went, a cross between a stitch and very mild AF cramps. These continued for a few days. Also lots of creamy CM. Again this continued for a few days.
7dpo - Tearful and tired. Dip in temperature.
8dpo - Really really bad AF style cramps in morning but too early to be AF. Felt really ill with them too, almost a bit fluey. Had major headache and felt nauseous. Bad stitch again in the afternoon, not painful but niggly and slightly uncomfortable. Runny nose, tired, BBs felt bigger and ever so slightly tender when touched.
9dpo - Small amount of light pink CM when wiping on one occasion.
10dpo - Small amount of pale brown CM when wiping throughout the day.
11dpo - CM as above. BB's bigger, tender and veins more prominent. Runny nose. Cramps completely gone. Very mild backache on and off. Exhaustion.
12dpo - Tested. V. faint positive. Exhaustion. Very mild backache on and off.
13dpo - Exhaustion. Very mild backache on and off.
14dpo - Tested. Severe exhaustion, very very emotional.
15dpo - Severe exhaustion, very very emotional. BB's v painful when touched.
16dpo - Sore BB's
17dpo - Sore BB's

Which brings us to today, 18dpo. BB's still sore and unbelievably full (can't say large cos they weren't big to begin with!!) and the exhaustion's back, as are the emotional outbursts (very teary.)

Hope this helps some of you symptom-spotters. Good luck and baby for 's all round.

Were are your Symptoms Tigerlady!!!!

Sorry!! It took me FOREVER to dig through my journal and cycle buddy thread!

So... here are my symptoms:

1dpo - 16dpo: Creamy CM galore! It was heaviest for the week after o, but didn't dry up until 17dpo. In the week after o, when I would check my cp, it would feel like I was... TMI ALERT... putting my fingers in a bottle of lotion!
0dpo - present: Funny o like pains. They weren't o pains exactly, but varied between burning sensations, twinges, pokes, light cramps, general "awareness" of my uterus. They would go away for a half day at a time, but never for very long. They didn't hurt, but were always in the background.
5dpo - present: WAY tired in the afternoons/evenings. I would just be so sleepy! I fell asleep at lunch a couple of times. I would also go to bed about 2 hours early and fall asleep FAST. I usually have a hard time falling asleep.
6dpo: Implantation dip on BBT Chart.
7dpo: Had 3 dreams in one night (I remembered all of them) that I got a .
8dpo: Bloated
8dpo - present: Hungry. My tummy would growl when I woke up (unusual) and I would be snacky all day. Many days though, I couldn't decide what I wanted to eat! I was sooooo hungry but couldn't be bothered to eat!
9dpo: Checked my CM and when I looked at it (tmi again) I about gagged!!! From the smell! It was way strange cuz I wasn't holding it to my nose or anything! just looking at it on my fingers from a normal distance. It didn't smell all that different or bad, but it just alerted my gag reflex for some reason.
9dpo: This is a strange one. One of my cats walked up to me, smelled my bare knee then flehmined!!! Then she did it again!!! She has NEVER done that before. Very strange. (For those that don't know, a flehmin is a "smile" reaction cats do when they smell hormones/pheromones, especially reproductive ones.)
9dpo: Irritable. Nearly went off on some poor lady over the phone. I am NEVER like that.
9-10dpo: Nausea... mild but definitely there.
10dpo: Metallic taste in mouth... kinda a sharp taste.
10dpo: Was convined AF was coming early. Just felt like it.
10dpo: Mood VERY "blah." Not like me.
11dpo: Bloated.
12dpo - 16dpo: Thick feeling in the back of my throat. The kind that makes you feel like you are getting sick with a cold or something and makes you produce all kinds of extra saliva (which I was doing).
12dpo: Cervix closed tighter than I have ever felt. Noticed big difference from day before.
12dpo:cd25 progesterone test ordered by doc. 8.6. Supposedly a little too low for pg... but I guess not!
13dpo: Tested and got a BFN. I was GUTTED. I bawled horribly. I snapped at family. I was pissy and upset. I couldn't stop crying in the shower. This is all very very out of character for me. I was way over emotional.

After that point, I didn't keep track of things so well cuz I was so sad. I do know that my heart has started skipping beats again (does this about 1-2 times per year). I don't know if it is coiencidence or not that it started up again. I also tend to get bloody noses easily, but in the last week or so, it is out of control! I go from feeling stuffy to having bloody noses! My BBT chart was clearly triphasic, too. My CP couldn't make up its mind: high then low then medium. Soft then firm then medium... and so on.

I never kept careful track of this one because it came on slow... but I started noticing my nipples being tender shortly after o. They usually are not. Then in the last couple of days they have gotten CRAZZZZZY sore and tender!!! OUCH!!! And my bbs don't hurt. Usually right before AF my bbs hurt, but my nipples don't. So this was backwards.

17dpo: A tiny bit of very lightly tinged brown/red CM. Only found it when I checked CM/CP.

18dpo:Allowed myself to POAS again: ! Had a blood test done, hcg level is 320.



Dunno if this helps anyone, but there you have it! to all!!!

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy for tigerlady xxxx

can it really take just the once to get pg?? xx

If you mean by "just once," can it take having sex only once or just one sperm present, then, Yes.

Is that what you meant?
