So like most of us I have been stalking this site for some time trying to find symptoms! Today I got my first ever BFP and am absolutely over the moon- can't stop crying.
Bit of history- I'm 26, pcos diagnosed at 13, married for 6 years, ttcing for 10 months, regular cycle (if regular) 31 days.
1 - 4 DPO- nothing, however vagina felt tight when checking my cervix and cervix was really low
5 DPO - vagina still felt tight and when checking cervix at lunchtime there was pink blood in cm, only small streak. Excited cos I thought it must have been implantation
6 DPO - same as 5dpo and pink tinged cm again- just once in the middle of the day. Excited!
7 DPO - nothing, but cervix felt softer and higher
8 DPO - same as 7 but BFN
9DPO - really emotional! Had to go to the loo to cry at work, than had a little more blood tinged cm but this time it was old looking blood- felt really depressed and thought AF must have been coming early. Lower back sore like pre-AF. The only thing missing are the sore nipples. I ALWAYS get sore nipples before AF, but nothing. Heavy feeling boobs though- I am an A cup but I feel like they weigh a tonne at the moment or I have been doing weights at the gym. Oh, another thing I woke up like 4 am wide awake .. not like me!
10DPO - woke up with a cold but wide awake about 4, sneezing like its no tomorrow. Common for me as I get hay fever. When I get to work I was just feeling really cheery, not like yesterday. Decided to walk to chemist in the arvo to get first response test- had this niggling feeling I should test before I go for dinner with the work gang.. Rushed to the loo and BAM 5pm work knock off- BFP!
Anyone else experience implantation over a long time? Spotting DPO 5, 6 & 9 (twins??! Haha ok enough dreaming)
Things I did different- I am overweight and notice everytime I exercise & eat healthy my periods become more regular- I have been following Michelle bridges 12wbt as it allows me to eat food I like & has great exercise plans- no fad diet.
I've also been having acupuncture for the past 3 months & taking Chinese herbs leading up to O week and a few days after suspected O.
Good luck- hope my comments help all the others desperately waiting to get that BFP!!!!
