I had just gotten of the pill and think I ovulated 18 days after taking the last one --- I did NOT expect to ovulate this soon after taking the pill, and wasn’t really trying to get pregnant …. But it’s a very welcome surprise! As many others, I have been testing like a maniac for months because I took all changes in bbs and being tired and stuff as pregnancy signs. So this time, I was convinced I was just imaging things!
Anyway, here’s my story (TMI warning!)
-1 DPO: BD :)
0 DPO: A tiny spot of blood in underwear. Probably conception day.
1 DPO: My skin is breaking out a little. Weird, this is usually a PMS symptom. And oh – BD
2 DPO: PMS symptoms: Sore stomach and bloating. BFN.
3 DPO: Same as 1 and 2, but also slightly tender bbs. Find this weird, as this has never been a PMS symptom for me, and anyway it would be the wrong time to have PMS. Do not think I am pregnant, but test just to make sure. BFN.
4 DPO: Same as above + Hard to get out of bed. Constipated (lasts for about a week)
5 DPO: Same as above + Get really motion sick (don’t know if that’s really pregnancy related) + starting to feel really cold, especially on hands and feet (still there now)
6DPO: Same as above + Getting really thirsty and my hair is getting oily just after one day! Nipples getting hard. BFN.
7 DPO: Same as above. BFN.
8 DPO: Same as above + dizzy when I get up quickly.
9 DPO: Emotional and cry easily. BFN with FMU. Now certain I am not pregnant.
10 DPO: BFN with FMU. Some stings in lower abdominal area, like twinges. Feel hung over. Notice a tiny spot of brown CM in evening and am certain AF is coming (which would totally explain the crying yesterday!) (understood later this must have been implantation bleeding).
11 DPO: Same as yesterday: still hung over, tender bbs, bloated, tired, thirsty, dizzy. Wait for AF.
12 DPO: Same as yesterday: still hung over, tender bbs, bloated, tired, thirsty, dizzy. Get a weird cramp in my groin when getting up. Don’t even think of testing.
13 DPO: Oversleep and am late for work!! That NEVER happens to me! Bloated, can hardly get my ring on. Still waiting for AF, which I thought would come two days ago. Feel cold after eating, actually shivering at times! Test in the evening, just for the fun of it … REALLY didn’t think I was pregnant … but … BFP!!!! A little faint, but very much there :)
14 DPO until today (20 DPO): Test almost every day just to make sure, and the test line gets stronger day by day :) Bbs still sore and bigger than usual, and nipples also sore. Get twinges in lower abdomen now and then. A little tired and still oily hair :( Skin break outs are gone, though! Feel really cold a lot of the time, especially after eating. This goes away approximately 18 DPO, after which I feel normal (although my boyfriend tells me I’m really warm). Get dizzy when getting up quickly. Thirsty and peeing all the time. And very acute hunger! I have not gained any weight – rather, I’ve been having eating less than usual and have lost 2 kgs the past three weeks! Still no nausea – fortunately!
Feeling really lucky and happy and can't wait 'till we can tell everyone!
