DPO Symptoms that ended up in a BFP.

Hi all. So during my TWW I frantically googled and searched on here for symptoms of pregnancy. I admit! I'm a serial symptom spotter.

So I thought I would share my DPO symptoms with everyone as I'm quite in tune with my body. Here goes! So I ovulated on the 2nd October and at 0 DPO I had the joys of acne. This is how I knew I'd ovulated as it's the only time I get breakouts. Woke up on a plane to Thailand with a face covered in spots. Lovely! 1 DPO the bloating started to join the acne. My SO said I looked like a pubescent teen. Thanks babe!! 2 DPO the boobs joined the party. The pain started along with a nice bout of constipation. We love being a woman don't we!!

3-5 DPO symptoms the same. Easing off a bit now so I can enjoy my honeymoon. Don't feel so much like an inflated balloon in a bikini. Other than spending countless hours trawling Glow I enjoyed these days. 6 DPO Cramp. Wow did I have Cramp! on my right hand side all evening. At this point in swinging from elation at the hope of a BFP to despair that the Red Dragon is soon to appear.

7 DPO no symptoms really. Cramp has subsided and I'm back to googling "lack of symptoms". 8 DPO I woke up to pink spots of blood on the bed sheets. TMI sorry. I'm now in despair again thinking AF is gonna show as no other symptoms. Even SO is like .

9 DPO Fatigue started. By fatigue I mean I'm on honeymoon so it's not the least bit strenuous. I get up and go to breakfast, come back to my room and can't keep my eyes open so nap most of the day. I also started with the hot flushes today. Ive never experienced anything like this and my SO thinks its hillarious. I feel like im cooking from the inside. I take a hpt which is negative so have a meltdown on SO... Poor guy. 10 DPO is a continuation of the previous. Naps/hot flush/naps/hot flush, however I do develop a migraine at this point. I do suffer with them and usually get one 3-5 days before AF. So I take this as a sign and withdraw into my TWW depression and wait for AF to show. 11 DPO oh the bloating and painful boobs are back! Yay! As you can see in my photo I'm big chested. I'm a UK 34 F so when these boys hurt they really hurt. I also suffer from IBS so I put the bloating down to this. By this point my SO is convinced I'm pregnant and is looking at travel systems.

12 DPO dizziness. I have low blood pressure that I control with diet. I do track my pulse using my phone and resting pulse had increased from 75bpm to 88 bpm. I'm also asthmatic and around this time my asthma kicked off, it's normally well controlled so I'm suspicious. My moods are as follows. I'm loving life right now!! I'm swinging from OMG yes!! Here we go again AF is due!!! 13 DPO. Resting pulse 98 bpm. My appetite disappeared over night. No nausea just don't feel like eating. My SO loves coffee and I now can't stand the smell of it. All previous symptoms are still in full force by the way. The lovely waitresses at breakfast know me by now and bring me cold towels when they see me fanning myself over my eggs benedict.

13 DPO Huge argument with my SO. I'm very emotional by this point and I'm crying at everything. Take another test. Negative.. Cry even more. 14 DPO AF is due from today. No sign of the Dragon and the waves of dizziness are killing me. I flew back to Bangkok today so it was a nice distraction. 15 DPO same as day before. Hot, cranky, dizzy, tired, hungry, dreaming and I never dream. 16 DPO Still no sign. Pulling sensation in lower abdomen along with the worst bloating I've ever had. It hurt like hell. I have my first flash of nausea but put this down 5o trqvelling. Coupled with hot flushes and fatigue whilst on a 12 hour flight back to the UK I'm in a great mood!!!

17 DPO. Can't sleep. Jet lagged and now sick. Sore throat and cough. SO drags me to the 24 hour Tesco at 5am in the morning as I'm still showing all the previous symptoms. Bloating is still horrendous! Tired, insomnia, dizzy, cramps and craving fruit. Like "id kill you for an orange right now" head home and I'm sure it will be negative as I've already peed once. SO refuses to leave the bathroom. He even took the test off me and dunked it in the cup himself he was so excited! He quickly dismisses it as negative as it's still soaking. I'm like "give it time!!!" I can't see the test at this point as he is hoarding it on the sink however he looks at me like.

I look over and see this.

Right now my symptoms are ravaging hunger which disappears as soon as I smell food. I'm hungry now. Might grab an orange. Insomnia. Hence why I'm up at 3am writing this. Dizziness and bloating are still prominent along with fatigue and abdominal tugging. I'm 4 weeks 4 days I think. I knew from the get go I was pregnant but drove myself half mad during my TWW. The ladies on here have been amazing and I hope for a sticky bean as it's my first baby. You ladies are a credit and if you first get a BFN don't give up!!! 17DPO i got mine. You're not out until AF shows! I might add to this when I'm more awake but for now enjoy reading!!
