BFP Symptoms

Sam914 · #1 August 3rd, 2009, 07:20 PM

Howdy guys, hopefully i'll have my own bfp symtoms again soon, but in the mean time i was wondering if you all would post yours and when they began. As someone who is still TTC i'de be really interested to know how soon you really can begin feelings things and what those things are. I'm sure alot of you have already put your symptoms in your journals but i thought we could compile one big list and maybe save it somewhere for reference.

Lot of poop (sorry, TMI

) starting about 7DPO
Bigger/Sore BBs (I very rarely get sore BBs before AF) starting around 7DPO
I also had some AF-like cramps the week before my BFP
Even now, the bigger/sore BBs is pretty much my only symptom...though, just the last week or so, I've been waking up once during the night to pee (I usually NEVER wake up to pee in the middle of the night)...

Can not wait till you are back here Sam!!

Honestly, the cycles I wasn't pregnant I had more symptoms than when I actually was. What made me take a test was that I had a dream I took one and it was positive. One thing that I look back on and realize now is that I usually have sore bbs after I O, but the cycle I was pregnant they weren't sore until pretty much the day I got my BFP, which was 2 days before AF was due to arrive. Also twice during the 2WW I remember standing up and feeling dizzy which was weird for me, but not thinking anything of it at the time that it was related to pregnancy.
Good luck to you and I hope you get your BFP soon!

I didn't get my BFP until I was 3 days late (didn't test until then)
I do remember however that 1 week after I Oed I had this really sharp pain on my one side of my lower abdomin it came and went for about a total of 12 hrs and I was worried but it went away so I didn't think about it. The only other thig was shortly after I found out I was tired a lot. Plus as soon as I hit 5 weeks the morning sickness kicked in

11dpo-same as above + dull twinges in abdomen

12dpo-same as above

12dpo-same as above

13dpo-same + queasy feeling if I don't eat enough, dull back ache and VERY sleepy! (I also had a random crying outburst)

14dpo (4w, Od) - same as above

**also during this time I had 2 nosebleeds, which I'd never had**

6 week symptoms-
Getting up in the middle of the night to pee!
Still very sleepy
Still have tender bbs
Nausea is increasing
Constant headaches

7 weeks- SICK and tired

11 weeks- Still sick and very tired

15 weeks- started to feel back to normal!

I saw that but it hasnt been written in since 2009 Aaron! Just thought i would maybe make an updated one

Hoosier Kitty · #9 August 3rd, 2009, 08:38 PM

I'm not sure I follow you? It hasn't been updated since 2009? It's been last updated since June 2009. Not everyone post in there.

That link is very helpful.. I look back in old posts in there and compare their symptoms to nowadays symptoms.

Sam914 · #10 August 4th, 2009, 05:38 AM

When i look at it it no ones responded since 2008, could be a computer glitch on my part, reguardless people ask the same question on here over and over what difference does it make if ia sk again?

I just had PMS symptoms. I kept thinking AF was coming. The day I tested (1 1/2 wks late for AF) my boobs started hurting. It's what made me decide to test.

Etph007 · #12 August 4th, 2009, 06:29 AM

I had cramps too and could have SWORN af was gonna show up!

karenwalter · #13 August 4th, 2009, 07:51 AM

I had no pg symptoms except AF like cramps. I really thought AF was coming any second. I also had spotting for 3 days prior to BFP.

After my BFP the cramping continued and it made me feel like I was about to miscarry. Glad;y everything turned out ok, but the beginning was rough because it really felt like AF.

My first two symptoms were exhaustion and sore BB's at 10 DPO. I was so tired at work -- could hardly keep my eyes open -- so I went to store and got a test and took it at work. That's when I got my BFP. At about 12 DPO I had really bad food adversions...just didn't feel like eating anything. (Still have that off and on along with the morning sickness)!

I'm hoping you start feeling REALLY exhausted with sore BB's very soon!

Good luck!

stlgirl · #15 August 4th, 2009, 08:48 AM

I have mine posted in detail in the very first entry in my journal, but the short version is mild cramping and breast soreness at about 8-9DPO, a few hot flashes (especially when trying to sleep) starting at around 11DPO I think, and a runny nose from about 10-11DPO on.

Thanks for sharing these ladies!

tiffanys · #17 August 4th, 2009, 11:01 AM

The first thing I noticed was cramps. They weren't all day, but they were on and off every day, especially after DTD. I was actually starting to think I had endometriosis, because my period wasn't due for a week or so.

Next I started getting sore BBs, very sore.

I woke up June 2nd with very sore BBs, and they felt swollen. When DH got up that morning, I was getting ready for a job interview. He had the day off, but needed to go in for a meeting with a staff sgt who had traveled to see him. I asked him if he thought my breasts looked swollen, and he said they really did.

After the interview, I stopped at Walgreens and bought an HPT. I got a BFP right away!
