Hi ladies, I’ve popped over to here to share my story with you all..

It was our tenth month ttc our first baby and finally it happened, it’s been almost two weeks since I found out and I’m still in shock I think. Here are what my symptoms were to possibly help some of you..

1-5dpo - Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.

6dpo - SO. MUCH. CM. It was honestly so much, I actually got out of bed in the morning and sat on the edge to get dressed (I sleep naked) and left a huge wet patch of discharge behind on the bed, like this has never happened before.

7dpo - FLU!!!! I woke up feeling so ill. Aching everywhere, bad sore throat, headache and could of sworn this was the start of the flu and I was so upset because we had family coming in a few days and I just was thinking great, I’m going to be spending it in bed.

8dpo - Felt perfectly normal again, no flu, no bad throat.. absolutely nothing. Implantation maybe? As the immune system does shut off to allow for it to happen. All I know is, I was suspicious.

9-10dpo - Felt pretty normal, like a normal lead up to AF would.

11dpo - Boobs are SORE and I never get sore boobs before AF, but I couldn’t even lean on them in the night or anything. Also, I woke up to a face full of spots, I don’t get spots, I never have. What is happening to me? I’ve gone back ten years to my teenage self.

12dpo - Mouth ulcers and sensitive teeth. I don’t know if this is a pregnancy symptom, but everything odd that happened to me during that tww I’m putting down to pregnancy. I literally woke up to about 3 or 4 ulcers on my gums, they were painful and it took a few days for them to disappear.

13dpo - AF could be due today as sometimes my cycles are 27 days but she’s a no show, I remember waking up and my boobs weren’t hurting me and I was gutted, but.. soon as I started to move around the soreness came back throughout the day.

14dpo - AF should definitely arrive today, I had period type cramps all night, I messaged my friend telling her I was sure as hell I was out, I felt like any minute now I’d feel that first initial ‘gush’ of blood, sorry gross but we all know the one. Nope, it’s 10pm and no AF. I had one OPK left and thought hmm they are known to pick up hcg so let’s give it a whirl. Within a minute it turned in to a BLAZING positive, test line hella dark. That’s it, I NEED to test in the morning.

15dpo - Couldn’t sleep due to feeling like I’d been in a bad fight and lost horrendously, I ached and ached, I knew something was different. Tested with fmu and the test line came up before the control line and already darker... BFP!!!

I couldn’t believe it, I still can’t. I’m almost 6 weeks pregnant now and still have killer boobs, morning sickness getting more consistent and cramping which seems to happen a couple of hours a night, it’s not painful just a little uncomfortable whilst trying to sleep. Oh and my nose, why must I smell EVERYTHING? Especially when feeling sick, everything smells so gross.

I hope this helps some of you ladies! 😊
