First signs of BFP?

maribel922

DH and I are TTC and I'm in the 2ww period.  I am trying to be zen about it, but since I am a detailed (and admittedly somewhat neurotic) virgo, can't help but overanalyze every bodily function wondering if I am indeed PG.  Right now, I am only at 6dpo and experiencing some dry mouth (also could be dehydrated .  I seem to remember sore boobs early on last time and frequent bathroom trips but I can't remember when exactly.

Please put me out of my misery.  When did you first notice signs of being PG and what were they?

I swear I was nauseaus five or six days before my BFP with #1 and #3.
That was why I decided to test.

Every month we were TTC, I overanalyzed every twitch and bodily function as well. Honestly though, all those early PG symptoms mirror PMS symptoms -- so I was always talking myself down and reminding myself that the first true sign of PG will be the BFP.

I did have crazy sore boobs though.. they are always a little tender before AF, but I was having to sleep in a sports bra for a while before and for a while after the BFP.

I was also a huge clutz before the BFP and had a couple people mention that must mean I was PG -- and I was. Sure it was probably a coincidence at best, but it stands out in my mind so I thought I would share.

?Good luck to you! Hope we have good news from you soon!?

I'm no help because my symptoms didn't seem to really start until a week after we found out.  I had 2 very strange days the week we found out.  I craved protein one day, I wanted nuts and chicken like nobody's business and another day everything was making me nauseous.  That's really all I remember though.  Sore boobs started for me around week 8 or so.  Sorry I'm not much help!

Me too! I knew I was either PG or had a tummy bug.  GL!!

This month when I got my BFP I had stomach issues kind of like indigestion for two weeks before my BFP.  Then on the day I tested my boobs hurt.  I haven't really had anything other than that.

with my 2nd BFP I was still nursing and I vaguely remember my boobs being a little sore - but I wrote that off to ds getting more teeth.  We were actively trying as well and I had a hunch that I was because our timing was pretty good, but I took a test at 10dpo and low and behold I got 2 lines.  So I'm really not much of a help- except that I had a hunch...POAS in 4 days to see what happens. I also stocked up on $ store tests the day I was going to test just in case it was a BFN.  Glad I bought the $ store ones only... I actually had a harder time believing in this BFP than my first BFP and took like 5 pg tests before I actually believed it to be true.  I still have trouble believing that I am - even with a very large belly!

My only symptom was actually a lack of sore boobs. Usually they are sore after O, before AF, but that month they weren't sore at all. So my symptom was a lack of symptoms??

That, and I had AF-type cramps but like a week earlier than I would have felt them if they were indeed AF cramps.

GL!

oh! and I'm a neurotic virgo as well so I completely understand your need to know!  GL!!

Honestly, everytime I've been pregnant I could have sworn it "wasn't going to happen this cycle"!  So nothin'

I had lower back pain, that is what I get instead of cramps before AF.  My usual work outs also kicked my butt.  But what tipped me off was the nausea several days in a row - but I was at least six-seven weeks when I found out.

Oh I thought of one other thing!  I had mild cramps on and off for about 2 days before BFP, I thought AF was coming but that obviously wasn't the case!

My earliest "symptom" was being REALLY hungry for odd things. ?I took DS out at 2pm to Jack in the Box to get a jumbo fish and chips meal. ?Not exactly our normal afternoon activity. ?That was on a Monday, probably about 10dpo or so.

With Anderson, my earliest symptom was hot flashes about a week past O.

Good luck! ?Fingers crossed for you!?

maribel922

thanks, ladies.  I really am a neurotic mess and I think I need to just get out and stop thinking about it!  You would think that with #2 that I'd be much more relaxed and open to chance, but I am just as crazy as with TTC #1.  DH and I laughed so hard last night about this because I keep checking my boobs in the mirror to see if they are getting darker, but I can't remember what they look like normally.  He said "you should take a picture before and after ovulation next month and post it on the Nest!"  Bwa ha ha!

It was almost 2 years ago for me - so I don't remember!  I do remember having major heartburn (which I never get) right before my BFP (which was at 10dpo).   I had AF cramps... no sore boobs.  That's about all I remember.

But, nonetheless, GOOD LUCK! You simply must post an update in a few days. So exciting!  But really - I stand behind what I said earlier - you guys that are TTC #2 or PG with #2 are freaking me out!

I rarely cry but was on a plane flying home and was bawling to Big Momma's House 2.  That's right, tears streaming down my cheeks on the plane to Martin Lawrence in drag.  That was the only symptom for me until I got my BFP.

::raises hand::  Neurotic Virgo here, and this post has definitely convinced me that I'm pregnant. 

Pg #1 I was nauseous and had indigestion issues a couple days before BFP.  Pg #2 I was certain AF was right around the corner because my boobs got sore like they always did.  I only tested a couple days later because I was getting LASIK that week and my surgeon told me I couldn't have it done if I was pregnant.

But NOW:  I've only had 1 AF since I got pregnant with DS, and it almost 4 weeks ago.  No idea when I O'd this cycle, except that on CD 12, I had pinkish/brownish CM for 2 days, which I chalked up to probably O-ing.  CD 19 I had cramps all afternoon, and again last night (CD 23).  Thing is, before pregnancy, I only ever cramped on CD 1.  And I've had some indigestion issues the past couple of days.  Also, I always used to get sore boobs about 7-10 days before AF.  My last AF - no sore boobs, and this week, no sore boobs.  Oh, and the kicker:  today I was so frustrated and cried because I've been doing the 30 Day Shred for almost a month, and have not lost one.single.pound.  In fact, when I first stepped on the scale today, it said I had gained 4lbs since last week.  I admit - I have a piece of crap scale, and am definitely bloated (another symptom?) but even still - feeling like I've been working so hard and not seeing any results is frustrating.  And crying about it is very unlike me...

I had convinced myself I am pms-ing and not to POAS until after this weekend when it will be after CD 28, but now I'm not so sure I can wait that long.  For the record, we're not actually "trying" because I was determined to lose a bunch of weight before getting pg again, but that's proving harder than I hoped it would be.  Obviously we would be thrilled (and scared) if we are.  *SIGH* Sorry to hijack your post Maribel!

maribel922

Amyliisa, this is exciting!  No worries about hijacking....  It would be cool if you really were PG (and nice not to have to worry about dieting!   Keep us posted.  This Virgo couldn't wait until after CD 28....fwiw.
