My tww symptoms/story to a BFP

Mandy • Fri, Nov 03

Hi ladies!

I thought I’d post my story to help those who are suffering through the TWW.

30 year old on the pill since 18. Thought it would take at least 6 months for me to normalize. (Yaz).

I was 2nd cycle off The pill... first cycle was 38 days so I had no idea what my real cycle was like.

I woke up in the middle of the night on CD 20 feeling like my uterus was trying to kill me! So much pressure towards my rear, I thought maybe it was ovulation pain!

My DH was away for most of when I thought I was Ovulating so I wrote this cycle off long before..... well he come home the day of this weird pain in the night and we BD’d for the next few nights.

The next week...

0-5 DPO- nothing. Literally nothing.

6-7DPO ......SEVERE gas. Super embarrassing and lots of trying to be stealthy. Broken sleep. Vivid dreams. No other symptoms.

8 DPO.... gas gas gas and more gas. Slight headache. Was feeling very off. Making rookie mistakes at work that I hadn’t made in YEARS! I felt like my brain was in a fog and I couldn’t think clearly. Woke up in the middle of the night with serious heartburn... kept me awake for 3 hours which I’d never had before!
