Okay, I think I'm catching on to this board, in fact I know I have the obsessing part down to a tee! I'm working on what maybe my most promising cycle yet and the games have begun. My temps peaked at their highest yet since charting began in April. Is this a good sign, for them to be higher than usual? Also, I noticed today that I feel sort of crampy, not actual cramps but just a general crampiness feeling and my upper thighs are sore and hurting, they only do that during AF. I'm only 6DPO(make that 7 in a hr!) but my LP is on the short side only about 11-13 days long. But already I feel like AF could show any moment. I don't usually suffer from PMS, infact if I don't watch the calendar closely AF sneaks up on me with no warning whatso ever. The only time I've ever felt that AF was coming has been when I've turned up +++++. I just had the big "o" last Friday, so what do you ladies think, is it possible that I could be feeling early symptoms already?

Thanks for any input and good luck to everyone!!

Laura~ who is going to be majorly disappointed if AF shows next WED.!!!

Hey Laura,

Sounds like you have some good possible signs going there. Just so hard to tell this early on. Wish I could help you out with some symptoms, but having never been pg before, don't really know myself. Mainly just wanted to post to "bump" your post to the top so hopefully someone can share their experience with you. GL to you!!!!

I've never been pregnant so I can't really help you out -- except to say I've had the very same symptoms you have. Sort of mild, almost "headachy" cramps on and off for three or four days (I don't get that with AF), plus lower back aches and the same odd upper thigh sensation you described. Plus I've had some nausea on and off for three or four days too. Yesterday I was running a low grade fever.

The way I see it, either I'm PG, or I have malaria! LOL!

I'll find out soon enough, I suppose...

Good luck to you too! I'll be checking in the BPFs for you next week!!

Hey, I am 5wk1d pg w/ my first. I used to post on this board all the time when we first started trying (3 1/2 LONG years ago!!) The only symptoms I noticed was I was very "burpy", also I had some minor cramping (still do) and my boobs are very sore all over. My first inkling that something was up, was when my temp went from 98.2 on 9 dpo to 98.5 on 10 dpo. I thought that was strange, since usually it is at that point that temps start the downward trend. BUT, I also felt like I was getting a sinus infection, so I thought that may be keeping them up! :) Then on 11 dpo they went up to 98.6, on 12 dpo 98.8 and on 13 dpo they were still at 98.8. I got my +++ on 13 dpo with afternoon urine on a First Response Early.

I hope this is it for you, I know I had more pg symptoms on my neg. months than I have had w/ an actual pg!! I still feel great and only minor nausea and not even really tired!

Good Luck!

hello ladies. i'm now 5w6d myself and i was cramping for about 5-6 days straight with mild AF like symptoms which i never get. i usually get AF cramps about 1 week prior to having her visit but only for like 10 minutes and then they are gone.

i think what you are experiencing could be the early signs of implantation but i dont want to say too much and get your hopes too high. based on the information that you've given me, plus taking a look at your chart, i'm apt to say that everything looks really good. the next few days in temps will tell you for sure.

as for the degrees of temps, well i was using a regular fever thermometer the entire month that i charted and it still worked so i cant really elaborate on anything from the previous post. the only symptom that i actually felt and still feel is just the on and off mild cramping and i had really tender breasts maybe 2 days and now they seem kinda normal i guess...

hope this helps and good luck girl, lost of :pbdust::bbdust: babydust your way!!!!

I have had 4 full term pregnancies, and all of them felt like AF was going to show up at any minute but never did. My first was the worst as my uterus had never been stretched that much before! I thought at times that I would miscarry I had such severe cramps until about 13 weeks but never any spotting. My fist baby is now 14 years old! Good luck!

The main ones I remember from early on with DS was exhaustion (moments where I literally could not keep my eyes open), slightly crampy (like before AF), and having to pee a lot. I can't remember if BBs were sore/tender. Then at about 5 weeks (after I'd tested ++) the nausea arrived. I tested when AF was 2 days overdue and I'm never that late.

Right now I'm 6 DPO and feel a slight cramp near left hip. I am tired but then of course I waited up til 1 AM for DH to arrive home from the airport (he travels for work). So it's probably just from that. I keep checking the TP every time I use the bathroom but no spotting yet.

Thank you all for your good information.

I had a m/c in October, the only 2 things I remember (sorry for TMI) were random smells making me really nauseous and multiple orgasims.

Right now I am on CD38, 16DPO and I have been feeling like I have a sinus/flu problem, my thighs are itchy and they have that wierd tingling feeling someone described and I have been gassy, bloated (like AF is coming, but she isn't here yet) and have had heart burn and acid reflux.

Who knows, I might try to test tomorrow AM if she doesn't show before then.

BFP BFP BFP for us all PLEASE!!
