Itchy Skin

Hi all. I am new to the site and come all the way from South Africa :-)

Just a quick question please:

I am currently 9dpo and since around days 6/7 past ovulation I have had itchy skin - legs, arms, face, hands, scalp.

There is not too much info available on this being a symptom so early on but it does appear to pop up on a few threads & I have not had this before.

4th month TTC now.

Does anyone have any ideas on this subject or have had this happen to them?

Thanks again.

I had the world's itchiest legs, right down by the front of my ankles, for a cpl days earlier this cycle. Got a bfp at 8dpo. Idk that I would say it's a symptom (for me), could've been coincidence, it's winter here so who knows. Anything out of the norm could be a good thing tho, so don't discount it.

Best of luck! =))

My god I'm in totally agony with my skin I'm itching all over I feel like crying, but. Don't know why and my throat is so sore aswell. I'm only 5DPO so don't think it's linked to pregnancy symptoms xx

Thank you for your answers girls ... Really appreciate it. There's not much on the net about this apart from it occurring later in pregnancy.

I have a 6 year old son and have never experienced this before ... Unless it's a new weird PMS symptom for me...

This is my fourth round of clomid (son was also conceived on clomid). Also would be a first for me if itchy skin was clomid related.

Unfortunately I've had no other "real" symptoms... Maybe 9dpo is too soon.

It's summer in South Africa now so it's warm & raining so not sure where the dry itch comes from haha

Hoping for that BFP!!!

That's a beautiful place on the coast ... Love it!!

Well I took an early detection test this morning (10dpo) and got what looks like a very faint positive !!

So hoping that it is .... But it's just so damn light.

Perhaps "itching" is a sign after All.

I posted the pic of the test on the HPT images section.
