Trying to Get Pregnant

Symptoms and tests before BFP?

Hi! This is my first time posting, but am getting a little obsessive with checking symptoms.  I was wondering what symptoms everyone had before BFP? Also, any BFNs before BFP?  Here is my list:

0-6 DPO Nothing

7 DPO-10DPO Nausea and cramping in the evening after supper

11DPO Hot flashes while shopping, cramping, heavy feeling in lower abdomen.  Uncomfortable.  Different than normal before AF.  Took an EPT in afternoon BFN.

12 DPO Hot flashes, dizzy/lightheaded, cramps, back pain, uncomfortable

13 DPO woke up with bad AF cramps, pain in lower back, nausea by smell of dog food when I fed pup this morning.  EPT  with FMU BFN ~ Starting to get bummed.

Tomorrow is expected day for AF...we'll see.

Re: Symptoms and tests before BFP?

  • Welcome to the wonderful world of Phantom symptoms Big Smile A lot of women get them so you're not alone.  Just curious how do you know you're 13DPO?  Do you chart?  If not then you may have just ovulated late.  I would hold out on taking another test for a few more days if you don't get AF tomorrow.

  • The symptoms I had before my two BFP's were mainly cramping and crankiness. Thats pretty much it for me. I did have lots of BFN's with my first pregnancy before I finally got a positive. I have noticed that I must ovulate late because with both my pregnancies I didnt get positive test until after my period was late. I never get early positives. With my m/c a couple months ago I had cramping again, a little barfiness and one episode of being lightheaded. Problem with all these symptoms is that they can also be similar to ones we experience when AF is coming.

  • I had symptoms of a headache, frequent urination, increased appetite and fatigue.  The month before we received our BFP, we had sex once.  14 days after that, I tested and it was a BFN, I then gave up and was waiting for AF (it had been 6 months - I wanted AF before a BFP).  I have no idea why, but I tested again 10 days later and it was a strong BFP.  So, I would say that it's still possible.  I must have ovulated days after we had sex.
