11dpo, plus sized, BFP today, symptoms list

Hey ladies,

I just got my BFP today, at 11 DPO and I wanted to post to give several women hope, and also enlighten some women on my symptoms thus far.

First of all I'm 33, definitley plus sized, and this is my 2nd child.

I have been on pill birth control since my 1st child was born December of 2016. I have had the covid vaccine in November. I also had covid in January.

I came off the pill early November, had my period like normal in December, and haven't had one since.

I got aggravated after cd22 of trying opk strips because they weren't getting any darker, I've spent lots on pregnancy tests to onlt get BFN a lot, I've had rounds of blood work done, ultrasounds and a visit to endocrinologist, to end up pregnant!

I feel extremely blessed and happy.

I say all this to say- do not give up. Don't give up on trying, the dr, the tests, the process, the timing... do not give up.

Also, don't always believe 1 dr. My ob told me on January 26th to not waste my time with opk strips until I was regulated because my ovaries did not look like I was ovulating (had an ultrasound that day). Good thing I didn't listen to her, because I got a peak on the 27th that was confirmed by endocrinologist.

And lastly, there aren't always tons of symptoms. I can tell you my boobs and nipples aren't sore and they weren't with my first child. I havent experienced nausea yet, and didn't with my first. But I have had increased acne, emotional and moody, sex drive increase, bloating, and most common is the twinges or mild cramping.

Baby dust to everyone!
