RP: Can you share your BFP symptoms with me?

GreenEyedGal · January 2009

Blah. My body is so weird. I was getting excited because it looked like AF was going to come without the help of Prometrium but now I'm not so sure. I was crampy on Monday and although it was strong, it lasted for about 2 minutes then went away, that was it. Same thing on Tuesday and now nada. In addition, my nipples (not entire breast, just the nipple) have been super sensitive. Also, my forehead has been breaking out, not alot but moreso than usual.

If my period doesn't show up on Monday (and I get a BFN, which I'm sure I will), then I'm going to take Prometrium so that I can finally start my first cycle of Clomid!!

I guess I enjoy obsessing about other women's symptoms so please post here!

Kery1499 · January 2009

From around when I O'd to my BFP my nipples hurt. That was it. But that never happens. So I knew * something was up.

mavilabride · January 2009

Hi Green

The reason why I decided to POAS was because of an intense headache that wouldn't go away. Also, I was flying back from Switzerland when I felt unusually nauseous. I normally get motion sickness on planes but I have felt that way since I was young. This feeling was not the same as the motion sickness. So I tested.

What you are experiencing sounds like it could lead to a BFP but it also sounds like the symptoms I had right before getting my period.

Ree08.04.07 · January 2009

My first symptom around 4 weeks was my tatas hurting realllly bad. Then came the cramps which felt pretty much like regular cramps you get before AF.

KacieLeigh · January 2009

Had a little heartburn, sharp pains in my uterus, and every once in a while my nipples would feel ULTRA sensitive. I had a huge dip below my coverline and spotted the next day. I kinda had an idea that I might be pregnant!

MrsZiz · January 2009

I felt like I had to pee every 2-3 hours and it was an urge I couldnt control, I had to go right then! That was at 4weeks. At 5 weeks my nipples started to become really sensitive and shortly after my boobs were really sore. Now, I'm still peeing like crazy!

HDxNxJ · January 2009

My temps rose for 3 days and I had crazy heartburn. I also got instant morning sickness and decided to POAS at 15 DPO.

Lolita0626 · January 2009

My first signs were sensitive nipples and cramping.

LillyWife78 · January 2009

I was also tired, bloated, emotional, and had mild cramps. Of course, these are all the things that come with AF, so they're not helpful.

My nips hurt, I remember thinking that was weird. Also, I've been really cold all the time, my fingers are always ice cold and I have the chills constantly. I also had (still have) raging heartburn, but that didn't start until 5 weeks I think.

mrspink77 · January 2009

I POAS after my light spotting stopped. I thought for sure I was out for that cycle when I saw the spotting and then thought hmmm once it went away. I was pretty shocked when I saw a BFP because I had no symptoms.

Now I am just tired and my boobs are sore.

BCLong21 · January 2009

I had cramping and my nipples hurt. Plus I just had a feeling I was pregnant. It is hard to explain, but I just somewhere deep inside knew my test would come out positive.

Some women can still bleed like they are on their periods when they first get pregnant. Keep that in mind. Just because you bled doesn't mean you can't be pregnant.

MuckDiva · January 2009

I decided to POAS because I was due for my period in days and I never have any PMS (lucky- I know). I was standing in the front of my whiteboard (I'm a teacher) and I felt a strange "zing" in my boobs. That weekend before I felt like I had to pee a lot and that something was brewing down there. On my way home from work I picked up the tests and peed away.

It's funny because until recently, I have thought every month was the month. I remember one time I was so sure that I didn't believe the BFN. Then my husband convinced me to not buy any tests and to just wait for my period. Since then, I have learned that sore breasts is a big sign that AF is on her way. But it's been four days and only the nipples are sensitive and the cramping has dissapeared. At this point, I really don't care if it's my period. I just want something to happen so we can take the next step.

Keep em' coming!

puipui7 · January 2009

So I was expecting my period to come right around x'mas time where I'll be in Cancun for vacation. I POAS before my trip, about 4 days before my period is due (it's not that regular, but should be around 4-5 days). And it's a BFN. So I was expecting my period, got a little cramp here and there, just like before my period. Nothing that's so bad that I can't stand straight, just a hint of cramping. I also got sore boobs, which I got almost every other month of my period anyway. So I was expecting my period for my whole trip (1 week) but no signs of AF. Boobs still hurts and occasional cramps. I got back home late night Dec 30th, and I've got a NYE party, so I've decided to POAS again before I know if I can drink or not. And that's when I got my BFP! Then I realized I've got some breakouts (I do get them sometimes, just one at a time usually, but this time it's all over my forehead). Boobs still very sore (not just nipples).... cramping have stopped, now I'm just exhausted, and occasionally feel sick when I smell something bad. Heavy chest, not sure if it's heart burn... and A LOT OF GAS! Sounds gross, but I swear this is one of the symptom I've got! Big Smile

yale · January 2009

I started having AF-like cramping at 5 dpo. It's been on and off ever since.

MrsPreK · January 2009

I honestly didn't really have any symptoms with DS. This time around I had missed AF and I started having to pee every 30 minutes (just a trickle) like the last few months I was pg with DS.

05/06 · January 2009

My only symptoms were sore boobs from 7dpo until BFP and lots of creamy CM. Good luck!

ShawMich · January 2009

When I tested (10 dpo) I was just really tired and I felt a little nauseous here and there. Nothing horrible. I also was breaking out like a teenager! I also had a little cramping, but not as much as I did if I was going to get my period.

Since then, the morning sickness still comes and goes from time to time and now my boobs are sore. I'm still exhausted and a little moody from time to time.

Good luck!!!!!!

GreenEyedGal · January 2009

Thanks for the hope ladies!

Now I'm all excited about testing this Monday. Tongue Tied

JCM052707 · January 2009

Late to the party, but I feel like I needed to chat with you I also have PCOS and did a few rounds of Clomid before moving to herbs and acupuncture which worked so much better.

First off..the reason I tested was because I was 18DPO and was CONVINCED I wasn't pg this cycle b/c we had sex NINE DAYS before I O'd. Yeah, no chance, right? Not.... two bright lines popped up before I could even stand up! lol

Anyway, I am convinced it had to do wth acu/herbs giving me a perfect environment and all the vitamins I was giving DH.

If you are going to take Clomid make sure you're doing it with an RE vs. an OB. Most ob's won't monitor your properly (blood tests and ultrasounds throughout your cyle) and that's super dangerous. Let me know if you want more info.

amhough · January 2009

I'm a little late to the party, but I felt exactly like I was gonna start my period, but instead of tapering off and then actually starting my period, it just when on and on for like a week. Then one night I made brats for dinner, and after my husband took the dishes to the kitchen I could still smell the mustard on the plates and it was really strong and gross smelling. So I knew something was up.

tboneangel87 · January 2009

I didn't have any symptoms per se. I just kind of thought I might be pregnant. (With the PCOS I had no idea when or if I would get a period, so I didn't know if I even missed one) After trying for about a year it was really nice to go in to the store without being nervous-I just knew I was pregnant. Can't really explain it. Also, I was on Metformin and had been for about 3 1/2 weeks.

Good luck-I know it sucks with all the waiting!

You guys are not late, I keep coming back and re-reading all of the replies. Sad, huh?

I am being prescribed Clomid from my ob/gyn but she specializes in infertility and reproductive medicine and is going to monitor me from my first cycle to my last.

Anyway, I remember you from the TTTC board so I truly appreciate you giving your input.

rrotem · January 2009

I had sore boobs but that is typical for me pre-period. ?I also used a ovulation kit so I thought it was kind of weird that I had a little cramping before I should have been expecting my period. ?I was also abnormally thirsty (which a few ppl have mentioned on these boards, but I have not seen listed on pregnancy symptom websites). ?I really didn't think I was PG though, and I was in the middle of law school finals and really wanted to have a beer to unwind after an exam, but since we were TTC I figured I better take a pregnancy test first. ?

Marla78 · January 2009

Gassy, Bloated, Heartburn (did I mention Gas)

These were the only symptons that came between conception and the positive pregnancy test - these symptons continued until week 6. Now I feel normal, just hungry all the time.

BeeLove · January 2009

Tired, moody but most importantly MAJOR tender boob.

calliem0213 · January 2009

I felt JUST like I was getting my period, but really really tired and run down and the ta-tas were really sensitive!!! DH said I should take a test bc it was New Year's Eve and we had been trying.

Kristri07 · January 2009

My nipples became really sensitive and I started to break out. I also slept for about 4 days straight over New Years weekend. My husband thought I was really sick but I felt fine... just exhausted.

starlingrose · January 2009

I thot for sure I wasnt pregnant even though I was about 4 days late until I burst into tears / rage - lol over pretty much nothing. My breast had also been feeling really heavy and my nipples feel like they are tingling at all times! Breakouts have also been an unwelmcomed symptom and lastly gagging mid sentence has started... theres my share haha

jenniferb96 · January 2009

I felt as though I was going to get AF. I was crampy and moody!!!!!

dnewton · January 2009

usually i have cramps and sore breasts before AF, but i didnt have these so i knew something was up. ?When i got my BFP, i started having cramping and a lack of appetite

?

good luck?

MegBriRox · January 2009

My nipples only were very soon after I O'd for about 2 weeks, then I tested and got a BFP on the day of my expected period and was 4 weeks and 2 days. We had just started trying so I was convincing myself I was not, didn't want to get my hopes up, but sure enough! Since then I have had VERY mild m/s and VERY horrible bloating and gas!!!

h.s.sweethearts · January 2009

My nipples hurt(beginning about a week before my period was to start) and were(and still are) "perky". LOL! Just took my test today and a BFP! I wasn't even TTC, just GOD's plan I guess. My husband and I are very happy

MONSTER'S LEASHIE · January 2009

Hi, I was wondering if you could answer a few questions for me. I am still really young and have almost no idea about baby lingo like: "POAS, BFP and DPO" That's my first question is what do thoes stand for, and my second question is my family has been known to have thier period during thier whole pregnancy and over 70% of the time otc pregnancy tests don't work. If I am pregnant then I would be about 12 months and I am having just about all the symptoms but my tests come up neg. (-) and I don't have the money for a blood test from the doctor, because I don't have insurance yet. So is there a way that I can know for sure?

Nurse27 · January 2009

I was so tired one afternoon that I couldn't even function, I was peeing a lot one week before the BFP. My boobs were sore and I had light spotting that never got heavy like a period. It lasted about 4 days. Good Luck!

alibabbbs · January 2009

I lost my temper with DH, which had NEVER happened before - just got really mad over not much and even called him a mean name. I'm really glad we can sort of laugh that off now. Also, my breasts feel like bowling balls - really heavy, and are sore. I've had cramping and fatigue too, and feel like peeing almost all the time.

boo98lu · January 2009

The reason I tested was because the day before I could smell the least little smell and everything was making me gag. The sore boobs and nauseousness hit a few days later..
