Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

Sorry for the bump again but i know there are many new BFPs and the TTC girls could use the info

THANKS LADIES

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

1. What were your pre-BFP symptoms? With both PGs I felt myself O, so we BD like crazy - every day, sometimes more than once a day for that whole week. When I O it feels like AF cramps followed by a "bubble" almos gassy feeling.
2. What DPO did you test and get BFP? 1st time - 12dpo with a CVS Digital

This time a blood test 7dpo showed a beta of 7, and another blood test at 9 dpo showed a beta of 30. The final beta check at 11 dpo was 320. (I still POAS though, b/c I am an addict)

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

Honestly, we weren't really trying because I don't think we were really in the mind-set that we were actually going to get pregnant so quickly.

We had a lot of things going on during that time (we moved into our new house, LOTS of stress with both our jobs) so one day I realized I had been really late with my period, took the test, and bam!!! BFP!!! After that I don't think I had a lot of symptoms at all except I felt very, very tired.

My SIL who is having some troubles right now swears she wants to do what we did: go get a new puppy as a good luck charm.

I actually did this for my DH NOT realizing I was already preggers and then we got the news.

Good luck to all of you trying right now!!!!!!!!!

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

My only symptom was PURE EXHAUSTION. I mean I couldn't stay awake later than 10 pm if I tried. I was convinced that AF was late because I had the flu. I would get lightheaded and short of breathwhen trying to clean the house. I also had horrible AF cramps so I was sure that beyotch was coming. Good Luck!

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

1. period like cramps , and I had one episode of a pulling sensation from my uterus down through my V.

2. I was 14 DPO, I tested the day my AF was due.

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

I had period like cramping about 8dpo (5dp3dt) that were very intense. I even felt some shooting pain in my uterus area. I knew it wasn't AF (I am on progesterone suppositories for IVF and will not get AF on them) and my body just felt different. I also had a nose bleed the night before I tested. I tested 8dp3dt (or 11dpo) and got a positive on a digital! My pregnancy was confirmed yesterday with a blood test. I am still crampy - comes and goes everyday!

Good luck to you!!

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

Pre- BFP symptoms-- nausea, sore nipples (which later turned to sore bbs), extreme hunger, cramps a few days before BFP.

I got my BFP on 12DPO.

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

1. I was really crampy, like I was getting my period... I kept thinking I was going to get it so I didn't test right away.

2. I waited for 17dpo to test- Dh was away for a long weekend so I wanted to wait for him- otherwise it would have been a little sooner. Really, I just didn't think I would be pregnant.

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

I had cramping from about 3dp3dt (5dpo) for a couple of days.

I didn't test before, but I had my beta test at the RE on what would be 14dpo

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

NO real symptoms here either. Just cramping like AF was coming, and my boobs were really sore. I tested the day when AF was due and she didn't show.

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

no symptoms at all and similar to what PP said; i think all the other months, the symptoms were in my head because once I actually DID get BFP; I realized I hadnt had any of the so-called symptoms I thought I felt all the other months

I did however, have a dip in temp. around 4DPO
I also had AF type cramps on and off but that was not unusual for me so I didnt think anything of it
I came home from work on Monday and took a nap which I never do - this was 8 dpo - thought AF was coming because I do get tired
When I came home on Tuesday and literally PASSED OUT - i took a test when I woke up; about 7pm - 9DPO
I used a dollar store test and it was literally the lightest, most faint line possible

I had used these SO many times before and NEVER got an evap line so I started to freak out - called DH and told him that if he saw it; he would think i was crazy, that it was literally a shadow
he works nights so he called me at 730 the next morning and told me that he did see a very light line

tested everyday after that; still faint until about that Saturday; 13 DPO I used a digital and got BFP

ETA: I did have sore boobs, but as I told you before, not the nips which is what usually happens ; it was more on the sides and the left was much worse

Also, around 9, 10, 11 DPO I had tons of CM which usually is not the case after "O"

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

1. Giant, sore porn star boobs
2. Tested around 21 DPO (1 week late - yes I pretty much "knew" by then)

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

happy to help!

I was lucky enough to "feel" myself ovulate...i usually get a very short, specific pain in my side...(i was tracking this for months...usually happens around CD11...we did it on CD 10 and a few hours after O on CD 11. 2 DPO i had an unusual dull cramping/bubbling sensation in the abdomen area that lasted a few days...then nothing.

I tested as early as 9 DPO again at 11 days, then 13...then gave up...(but really thought I was pregnant) I was peeing in the middle of the night and I was just SO TIRED.... 16 DPO i got my BFP! =) I used first response.

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

1) Cramping, total starvation, crankiness, and complete exhaustion. All symptoms started at 5DPO.

2) Got BFP at 10DPO.

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

We weren't trying so I don't know how many days DPO. I had all my normal period symptoms - sore boobs, cramps... but I was EXTREMELY moody, to a point that random ppl on the street pisses me off for no reason at all
so I found an old but not expired, not opened HPT to test and see what was wrong with me - well, here I am

to all the TTC girls.

ETA: I was about 4 days late when I tested (I didn't even think I was pregnant, because 4 days late wasn't out of of the norm for me).

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

My symptoms were very similar to pre AF. One difference that I did notice was that I had difficlty sleeping and wild dreams. On a whim( because I really did not believe I was pregnant) I tested at 9 DPO and got a faint positive.

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

My pre- BFP symptoms:
1. peeing nonstop. One day I only drank a small coffee and a bottle of water and peed about 35 times. Every 15 minutes.
2. sore boobs. They felt like AF was coming, but way too early, like a week early.
3. AF like cramping. Only one morning, the same pre-cramping I get before AF, but it was way too early, once again by a week.

What day did I test:
I am not a POAS addict, so I tested at about 12 DPO and got a BFP.

Re: PG girls to help the TTC girls

Pre BFP Symptoms: AF like cramps, sore boobs - but a lot more sore than usual

Tested at 13dpo
