I have been stalking this site for a long time even though we weren't actively TTC. I just liked reading the stories and waiting for the day when we started TTC again. It was supposed to be next July but God has a plan for all of us I suppose! Well my BFP came as quite a surprise considering I was on BCP!
LMP was 1-6 Nov
O day was somewhere between 12 and 14 Nov (wasn't tracking)
1 DPO to 5 DPO - Not a whole lot, except an abundance of creamy, lotion like CM
5 DPO - Noticed my bbs hurt and they never hurt even around O or AF
6 DPO - Started getting little cramps, pinches, pokes in my belly
7 DPO - Started getting suspicious because my BBs still hurt (even DH noticed)
8 DPO to 14 DPO - A lot of the same, lots and lots of creamy CM, sore BBs, cramps, super gassy, and very tired (Took several HPTs in this time frame and all were negative)
14 DPO (28 Nov) - Right on time, started spotting and figured AF was on her way but this was also weird because I never spot before AF, she just comes on full force in the middle of the night
15 DPO - Bled very heavy, like all the blood I normally lose in 5 days came out in 1 (sorry TMI) just want you to know how heavy it was
16 DPO - Bleeding stopped completely
17 DPO - Spotted a little but noting of significance
18 DPO - No blood and back to an abundance of creamy, milk white CM (tested again today because I have never had a period like this ever in my life and BFN)
19 DPO - 20 DPO - Still lots of CM, nausea started at night, lots of cramping and lower back pain, BBs getting even more sore now
21 DPO - Went to doc and was prescribed sleeping pills so I wanted to test one more time just to be sure before I started taking the pills, OMG a BFP!! I was floored, I was confused, and excited. How could I get a BFP after bleeding like a stuck pig!
21 DPO to 28 DPO - Have tested several more times and gotten several more BFP, have had blood work done at doc!
So just because you bleed like a normal period does not mean you are not pregnant and not every one gets a BFP at 8 DPO!!
