First off, let me start by saying my husband and I have been TTC for a few months now and last month I had all the "signs" of early pregnancy... fatigue, food aversions, twinges on left side, sore boobs, literally everything. Needless to say I started my period right on time :(. We tried again this month. I have an app on my phone that I have used to track my periods for the last year and half and my app said I was to ovulate on December 6th. Just to make sure my phone was really accurate I also bought a ClearBlue Ovulation test, I got my smiley face on the 6th! That being said, here are the symptoms I noticed this month:
1-4 DPO: NOT A THING!
5 DPO: Extremely bloated
6 DPO: Still extremely bloated with light cramping.
7 DPO: NOTHING!
8 DPO: Boobs just a little bit sore
9 DPO: Woke up this morning with a very very painful sore throat, major chest congestion, and my boobs hurt really bad
10 DPO: Still very sick with sore throat, chest congestion, cough, headache, I was very very tired by 7 pm so I went to bed. My boobs still hurt and I had hot flashes in the morning at work. Took a pregnancy test that night at home and got a BFN.
11 DPO: Still sick but has turned into a sinus/head cold. I had major nasal congestion and coughing, hot flashes in the morning, and boobs only hurt a little bit.
12 DPO: Still very congested and coughing. Went to the bathroom and noticed the smallest amount of light pink/brownish CM. Boobs hurt a little bit. Took pregnancy test later that evening at home and got a BFN.
13 DPO: Still very congested and coughing. Nasal congestion is the worst it has been all week!! Went to the bathroom and noticed one bright pink spot of blood mixed with CM when I wiped. I thought for sure AF was on her way because she was due the next day and I usually spot for about 4-5 days before AF makes her appearance. All throughout the evening I was having very strange dull, light cramps all over my abdominal area, some more focused on the right side.
14 DPO: Woke up this morning and nasal congestion is a bit better and coughing is now a minimum. AF is supposed to be here now and she is not here. I show no signs of her coming. No spotting, no back ache, no cramping, NOTHING. Those are all my usual tell tale signs she is on her way. My period is NEVER late. It ALWAYS starts on the day my app says it will and she is not here yet. So, I took a pregnancy test just see what would happen and I got a BFP! It's a faint positive but it's there. (much harder to see in the photo than in real life)
So, to sum things up, this month the only pregnancy symptom I noticed was sore boobs which I get before AF shows up anyway. And I was sick so I blamed the hot flashes and tiredness on that. Since AF is supposed to start today (Dec. 20) and the day is not over yet, I will take another test tomorrow if she does not show today.
Good luck to all you wonderful ladies!!! And remember, just because you don't show any symptoms does mean you are out!! :)
