I finally got my BFP! I’m writing this mostly because I’m so excited but also because I had practically no symptoms and wanted to give some ladies hope that just because they’re not experiencing obvious symptoms it doesn’t mean that they’re not pregnant. I know my list below seems like I had a lot of symptoms but honestly nothing that would have made me think “that makes me think I could be pregnant!”

Most symptoms were very short and light so I felt like I was making things up but because we were trying to conceive I wrote down every little thing.

I ovulated on 6/7

Intercourse on June 1st, 4th, 5th, 7th, 10th, etc.

1-2DPO- no symptoms besides being moody and irritable.

3DPO- nauseas in the morning for just a moment but went away. Midday felt a retry bad, nauseated, stomachache, tired.

4DPO- sharp cramping pain when going pee and intermittent throughout the day. Light headed/dizzy.

5DPO- exhausted, took a two hour nap.

6DPO- no symptoms all day until 8:30 pm, slightly achey boobs??? It was so light I was thinking I was making it up.

7DPO- light headed in the morning for a little, 1:30 pm was working in the garden and stood up and almost fell over because I got so dizzy and light headed. Went inside to sit down and drink water/ eat. 5pm slightly achey boobs?, 6:30pm gas, light twinging pain in L ovary, mild cramping.

8DPO- feeling energized today, gassy, light “pulling” feeling.

9dpo- light waves of nausea?? Just chugged a bunch of water so that could be why. Diarrhea, itchy palms and itchy feet, left nipple pain?

10DPO- woke up exhausted took a while to wake up but once I did I felt pretty good. BFP at 1:20pm

I woke up on Wednesday 6/17 in a pretty crummy mood. The night before I had felt extremely emotional because I just “knew” I wasn’t pregnant again. I usually get pretty emotions leading up to my period and nothing was standing out to me that made me think I could be pregnant. I woke up Wednesday 100% certain I was going to test that Friday (6/19–12DPO) but I had just got done talking to my best friend telling her how much I was feeling aggressive/angry/bitchy and decided “why not?”. At this point I wanted to just know because my husband and I were heading for camping that weekend for Father’s Day and I could try and get out my crying and pitty party before we left. I full on knee that it wasn’t FMU that I was using but oh well. I dipped my stick and waited 3 minutes. I went and grabbed it off my vanity and brought it to my bed before I looked. When I did I immediately burst into tears and started shaking. I was NOT expecting to have a line at all especially one that was as strong as this one! I didn’t even have to squint to see it! I called my OB and requested bloodwork (got two false positives last month) and got it done same day. I’ve been testing almost every day to make sure the lines have gotten darker and they have, I also got my first positive on a digital this morning! I’ll be going in this Wednesday for my second round of bloodwork to make sure my levels are rising.

Again, I really did not “feel” pregnant and was 100% expecting a negative. Don’t think that just because you don’t “feel” pregnant that you aren’t.

Good luck all!

Obviously they’re easier to see in person
