I always said that once I got my BFP I would upload my symptoms to this website since I stared at it month after month trying to see if I would get my BFP that month. This month, the only thing I did differently was not stress over BDing since my fertile week began on Christmas. I didn't use OPKs and we didn't BD everyday like we normally do, but but more followed SMEP according to when I "think" I would have gotten my first positive OPK (which would have been CD13 for me). I also think skipping a day helped. Anywhoooo, I didn't test until the day my AF was due in the afternoon on a dollar tree test and got a faint but very visible positive. The next day, the dr also got a positive urine test. I took one more test yesterday and got a very dark positive line so it is official to me. Here are my symptoms:
Shortly after I conceived (idk if it was before implantation or not) but I started coming down with a horrible cold/flu that later turned into what felt like a sinus infection. I never get those
Breasts started hurting very early in cycle around 3DPO, but they didn't hurt terribly until around 13DPO (it hurt to lay on them)
Creamy CM-- one day it had an interesting smell, I thought I had BV but it went away
UTI symptoms- literally peed myself trying to make it to the bathroom at work
Heavy low AF like cramping very early in cycle, around 10DPO. It first started during sex, then it happened everyday after but I didn't have any bleeding or spotting, just CM
Sore nipples around 12DPO but I sometimes get it before AF
All around felt kinda run down but I chalked it up to getting over the cold
Diarrhea that didnt wanna come out, like I was constipated
Hot and cold all the time
Felt exactly like AF was coming only there was no blood at all.
On Friday 1/12 when AF was due I took the test and got a positive. The next day, I had lots and lots of creamy mixed with EWCM coming out of me and it had streaks of blood. Lasted off and on throughout Sat and Sun but didn't touch panties or liner.
Overall, I just feel kinda tired and crampy every day, but I'm thankful my little bean is getting nice and snug inside of me. Baby dust to you all!
