Hi Everyone,

This is our first cycle TTC. Using a phone app. to track ovulation (I know, maybe not the best way), we did the BD 4 days leading up to O. At least 2 of these days there was definite EWCM.

2DPO, I started having, what felt like a slight tension headache. I would wake up with it (drove me nuts). I honestly didn't know that headaches could be a sign of pregnancy and still think it was to early to have any symptoms. I am only 6DPO and my breasts are very sore. At this point I am thinking my mind is causing my "symptoms". Luckily I bought my pg tests from the Dollar store, because even though I know better, I couldn't help myself, I had to POAS this morning. Of course DH is convinced his swimmers are so awesome, our first try will be successful!

Any suggestions on when 'real' symptoms start?

Thanks eveyrone,
Susan

I wish I could help and this is NOT what you want to hear but symptoms can vary for everyone and even from one pregnant to the next in the same woman. Just try to keep your mind focused on other things, test every few days and post lots of pretty pictures of your tests for us to obsess over with you!
and GL!!

With my first pg after my reversal I had symptoms starting at 5 dpo, my boobs were so sore and by 8 dpo I could hardly wear a bra. I told dh I was pg and I was peeing on sticks but they were bfn because it was way too early for a bfp, so he said "well the tests are negative" so then I had to explain to him that they are negative because it was too early, and then he asked why am I testing so early lol. He didnt understand the pee stick addiction lol. Anyways I got my bfp on 11 dpo that pg, but lost that baby, then the next pg I had no symptoms at all and got my bfp the night of 10 dpo, the third pg again no signs, my boobs were only a little sore and I felt like af was coming, instead i got a bfp at 9 dpo and hes the handsome man in my siggy. So the pg symptoms can vary so much, but I hope you get your bfp very soon.

My biggest symptom was always very sore boobs. With DD I had nausea almost immediately, with DS no nausea or ms whatsoever. I had headaches with both which was a bummer.

GL and lots of hope you get your BFP

susan, if you find the answer on how not to go nuts, let us all know! LOL

[strvnwritr]

Yes, I agree with the other ladies. Symptoms can range from strong, early onset ones to practically non-existent. Unfortunately, when you're TTC, you'll be hyper-aware of every possible symptom.

So yeah, there's no way not to go crazy...lol.

But I hope you get your BFP soon!!!! Keep us posted!

I used the My Days app to track. I started tracking in November and now have had three positive tests. Its really easy to use. It isn't always 100% accurate but gives a pretty close date for Ovulation. And allows you to put in notes.

Oops double post.

With my first DS I was sick for six months. Before I knew I was PG I paid a doctor 89 bucks to find out I was PG cause hubby and I were not TTC LOL. Second DS no sickness, no sore boobs, just no AF and BAM that beautiful pink double line. LOL

Now with TTC #3 it seems to be not as easy.

[Susan27]

Thanks Everyone! I feel better being in the company of people who 'get' what I am going through and understand the crazy that goes along with TTC.
I cannot wait until I have a BFP to share, I already stare at the stick trying to will a double line!

When I figure it out, I will share!

[TKbunny]

Yup, like the others say, everything can be different from lady to lady and from baby to baby. Hard to say for sure. I know with mine I was sure AF was coming around 10 DPO I was having cramps like I always get a few days before AF shows her ugly mug. But my bbs felt bigger, yes..I know but they did. And sure enough, at 11 DPO, BFP! I also got the $ store HPT and they are nice. I hope your DH is right

[Susan27]

Ok, 9-10DPO today, yesterday had very slight bleeding when I went to the bathroom. Blood again this morning, but a little more and a brighter red. I am pretty sure AF is not due for another 5-6days. BB`s have been hurting, but not too much. This darn headache keeps coming and going. I just feel strange but about 3/4 of me thinks it`s all in my head!

And all I want to do is POAS (I have only done it 2 times so far....)

[anniemal]

Good luck!
