14 DPO...I FEEL PREGNANT!

mpenzi77

Its my first month charting but I'm really feeling pregnant!

My chart: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/35ea56

My temps are still elevated even though AF is due.  I've been feeling nauseous about four days now.  No vomiting, light nausea but definitely there.  It seems to be getting worse every day.  I have no sore boobs which I usually get before AF, and no spotting.  I usually spot four or five days before she shows.  I think she should have showed up today.  Also I've been having strong AF cramps, like first day of AF cramps, for about four days now.  And I'm exhausted, I can hardly stay up past 9 pm most nights.  Also been having a lot of creamy white CM.

I know its possible these are all phantom symptoms, but they are so strong.  If I'm not pregnant, I think I must be insane!

Should I test? Its my first month charting so I don't know how long my luteal phase is.  I'm also afraid of false negatives because I've gotten them before when AF was a week late and I was pregnant.

I just want to know if it looks/sounds like I'm pregnant or if there's a good chance these are phantom symptoms.  I've been TTC for several monts so I know how easy is it turn nothing into pregnancy symptoms!  Thanks!!!

If your having symptoms, then it's early enough to test and get a +HPT if you are. So, test. You know there is no way that internet strangers can tell you if your KU.

This. Your 14 days DPO. I'd test if you're REALLY feeling pregnant.

Yes, there is a very good chance that all your symptoms are phantom. Most of us have one or more of those symptoms every single month without being KU. I thought I "felt pregnant" several times before I finally accepted that it's just hormonal changes that give you side-effects. If you truly think you're pregnant, just POAS. We can't tell you whether it's time to test or whether you're pregnant.

I don't think you O'd on CD 9. Why did you discard temps and have open circles?

If you have unprotected sex around O, then you *could* be pregnant. I've felt pg before, too, and obviously it was all wishful thinking. Our first cycle TTC, for example, made me CONVINCED I was pg. I felt sick, tired, had to pee a lot, headaches...you name it. Back then I thought I O'd on CD14. So we had sex CD10-14. Then it turns out I O'd on CD18. Ha, so there was no way I was KU, but I still *thought* I was so I felt it.

 This cycle we had awesome timing, so my chances of being KU are better than ever, and I'm refusing to let myself feel symptoms. And guess what, I don't feel any. So, be careful of phantom symptoms. We all feel them and know just how convincing they are. And we know how disapointing it is to get that BFN when we had all those symptoms. Youre brain is an amazing thing; it's awesome how we can 'trick' it to see/hear/feel what we want.

At 14 DPO you can take a HPT and expect a pretty reliable result. GL, hopefully your symptoms aren't phantom!

LOL.  I'm telling you, this is crazy making!  It probably is all in my head but it feels so real.

I got a test and I'm testing tomorrow morning.  It will be 15 DPO so should be accurate.  I'm psyching myself for a BFN tho.

Thanks for the replies everyone!  And GL to you all too!

I second the question of why all the open circles and why did you discard temps?  CD 9 is SUPER early to O.  And if you include the discarded temps it looks more like you may have O'd on CD 18 which would put you only 6DPO which is way to early to test.

I agree that you did not O as early as you think. With all those open circles and discarded temps... I think you may be more like 6dpo. Good news is your timing still looks good. But if you really don't want a false neg I'd wait another week. I had a fake o. The 2ww for 4 weeks sucks BUT can be worth it also. Last cycle I was convinced I was KU. Had every single symptom known to early pregnancy... This cycle, none.

It's not a great idea to discard temps because it could confuse FF and end up giving you the wrong O date. I agree with people who say you might have ovulated later. But if you FEEL pregnant, take a test. If you aren't pregnant, welcome to the world of phantom symptoms. The two months I've been charting mine have changed from month to month and both months I got my hopes up just to get a stark white pregnancy test and AF starting right on time...

I hope for you that you are pregnant, but if not best of luck to you in the future.

I would agree that you most likely ovulated on CD18.  Why did you discard those temps?  Why all the open circles?

mpenzi77

Well I tested this AM at "15 DPO" and got BFN.  OMG I AM CRAZY!!!!!  I could have SWORN I was pregnant!  WTH???? 

Maybe I did ovulate later than I thought.  I discarded some temps because I was a complete newbie at temping and the high ones before O were taken after I was already up and moving around for over an hour.  The high one after O was on a day I had flu symptoms so may have been a fever.  I undiscarded those temps (except for one high one before O) and FF still thinks I O'd on CD 10.  I think I did too because I had O pains and EWCM the day before.  After CD 10 my CM was definitely NOT fertile and I was checking it every day.

Maybe my LP is longer than 14 days.  Well AF will probably show soon, or if not, I'll retest.

Thanks for the help everyone!!!!!!  

GL to everyone!!!!

LilyPotter Congratulations on your BFP!!!!!!!

And to confuse me even more this morning when I checked my CM there was a HUGE amount of snot yellow CM.  (Sorry for TMI.)  I've NEVER had this before and of course other posts say it is a pregnancy symptom.  My body seems determined to confuse and frustrate me this month!!! 

With my luck its some kind of infection!  If it doesn't go away I'm going to get it checked out.
