symptoms 8 dpo
8
Sun, 10-05-2003 - 9:42pm
this is my dh and my first cycle trying to conceive. if everything was calculated correctly i should have ovulation ~sept. 27, making me 8 dpo. i haven't had any symptoms other than mild cramps 2,3,and 4 dpo and an occasional soreness in my breast ( not so much the nipple ). af isn't due until oct. 11 so it's too early to test. i don't want to get my hopes up and be let down and i don't want to think too negative. i guess my question is is there anyone else out there 8 dpo that has or has not had any symptoms and what are they? thanks.

I am 8dpo, when are you testing? Maybe we can go crazy and then test together.

I have had cramps, gas, and spotting 5/6 dpo.

I hope this is it for both of us!!

shal thanks for the info. i don't want to be too disappointed if my test comes back negative. anyway i'll probably test on sept. 13 ( 2 days before my dh's mother is to have surgery, maybe i'll be able to give him some good news. ) i too have had the gas and the cramps but like i said no spotting ( that's what really depresses me ). anyway have you had any other symptoms like sore breast? no me, and i poke all the time, lol. so when are you testing?

I am new to this, but saw your message and had to write, I too am 8 DOP and the only symptom I have are sore breasts (which I usually get a week before AF anyway) so I am keeping my fingers crossed! Also, I had EWCM 3 days past ovulation, which I never had before, so who knows. I also feel a little sick every now and again, but that could all in my head, I hate this 3 week wait!

I wouldn't be too depressed about not spotting. I did a poll on the TTC boards and most people who answered didn't spot at all the month they conceived.

As for me, I wish I could say the spotting means I'm for sure preggo but it's not a definite, just a hope.

So I would say, don't give up yet!!

I hope you get a BFP! And me too!

:)

LOL and yes I keep poking my breasts to see if it hurts. Not yet, LOL. But I'm sure it's very entertaining for DH!

P.S. I hope DH's mom goes through surgery ok.

shal,

well today is 9 dpo and nothing really has changed. this morning i ate a sausage biscuit and i really didn't feel nausea just a little gas and some heart burn. still no sore breast ( not even like af is coming ) but i'm cool with that especially since you haven't experienced any either. thanks for the info. about the poll on implantation bleeding it too makes me feel better. oh you never did tell me when you were going to test. keeping my fingers crossed for us both.

de'

p.s. thanks for the thoughts for my dh's mother.

I am on the same cycle you are. We could be cycle buddies. I ovulated on the 27th and my period is due Oct 12th. I have 29 day cycles. Several days ago I started having mild abdominal achiness, not really cramping just mild aches. Its mostly when Im standing or active and when I sit or lay down they lessen or quit all together. When I do have the aches they dont last but a few minutes. I also started noticing yesterday and today I still have increased cm which is usually gone by now. I have had a couple bouts of nausea but I also have a sinus infection so it could be caused from that. We timed everything right so we are hoping all of this is positive signs. We will find out next week. Is anyone else having similar signs to this?

the only symptom i had at all during the first couple weeks was fatigue and then not long after i had abdominal cramping for about 3 weeks straight.

Well we are definitely hoping to find out something positive next week. AF is due Sunday and we definitely hope she doesnt rear her ugly head. The mild achiness I had been having was definitely mild cramping today, not as strong as period cramps but close. So maybe its trying to come, but I dont have any other symptoms I usually have when AF comes. I was concerned because lots post having breast tenderness and I have had none, but everyone is different. So I have had abdominal cramping, a couple instances of mild nausea and increased creamy cm, but I would only be 3 weeks if I am so it could be too early for some symptoms. Keeping our fingers crossed and we will test next week if AF doesnt show on Sunday. Anyone else going thru this and found out they were pregnant? We hope so! Thanks and take care!
