I got my vfl yesterday evening (yes, not even with fmu) after getting a bfn yesterday morning at 10dpo. My bfn was on a clinical guard cheapie, my bfp was on an .88 Walmart test. I retested this morning to be sure, and it was a little darker. What’s crazy is I bbt chart religiously and my temp takes the same dive every cycle, yesterday was no different. I’m providing the last few cycles overlaid to show a comparison.

To add to my symptom chart, I’d like to mention what I experienced (what was odd and what wasn’t).

My biggest flag was heart palpitations starting the evening of 8dpo, just like fluttering that was isolated. It was accompanied by a little shortness of breath. I needed to nap almost every week day last week, and snack a lot. I have had light insomnia due to hot extremities at night (normal pms for me). My skin also broke out badly during that week time frame but went away around 8dpo. My cramps typically don’t start till 12dpo, but radial hip pain is common for me after 6dpo so, I had that as well as light sciatic pain. (tmi) I have had some fullness from constipation which has been slightly uncomfortable. When my bbt plummeted like usual, I fully expected af to come this cycle around 13dpo. I had a particularly intense stress dream the night before my first test in which it felt like my cervix was being pulled out, I didn’t wake up so, not totally sure if the pain was real or not.

Now, things I did NOT experience (this is important for all you symptom spotters like me). I had no nausea, no cramps, no intense round ligament pain (a normal pms occurrence), no sore or painful nipples (just regular breast tenderness from swelling which has not been particularly impressive), no dark colorations or prominent veins, no significant bloating, no food aversions, no loss of appetite, my mood has actually been quite nice outside of some situation specific irritations, my CP has been moderately low and really firm, my CM has been minimal and almost sticky creamy for days now. I guess all this goes to show the only real indicator is a positive test.

I will add though, that after my vfl yesterday that I woke up to my left sinus being both stuffy and mucus turned to liquid. It literally ran nonstop for an hour.

According to my ovulation date, my EDD is Valentine’s Day 2019 ❤️😆😍

****we did use pre-seed this cycle and only bd the day before my actual ovulation. Good luck, ladies!! ✨✨✨✨✨
