Finally have my BFP and these were my symptoms

Sophie

Hi Everyone! Finally got my BFP today.

So happy!

Only thing I did differently this month was take Vitex. Been on preseed, prenatal vitamins, premama fertility drink for all of the other months.

For those on their TWW looking out for every symptom, this is what I had that was different...

1) feeling bloated (I don’t get bloating as an AF symptom.

2) spotting after sex 8DPO (pale pink and stopped after a few wipes.

3) cramps that were different from usual pre AF cramps. They feel more like a stretching sensation.

4) vivid dreams

5) kept waiting for my boobs to be sore but they still feel normal.

Hope this helps those on their wait, obvs everyone is different. Baby dust!

I am 11DPO and only got my BFP today. I used a first response preg test. Cheap one is still negative.

I got 5 faint tests but wouldn't believe them until I missed my period. Lol Well here I am! The cramps I had felt super weird too and not like AF. And usually my chest starts getting sore not long after ovulation and stays that way until my period. I didn't have any of the symptoms that usually make me think I'm pregnant. Lol!

It might be a coincidence. But apparently great for women with irregular cycles, endometriosis and PCOS.

It’s chaste berry extract. My friend recommended it. And I’d tried everything else so gave it a go. Seemed to do the trick. 😊

I’m not sure as I’m in UK but over here you would find it in a health store that sells supplements etc.

could I find this at a drug store? Like Walgreens, CVS pharmacy, discount drug Mart etc? do you feel like this really did it for you?

I would just start taking and stop when you get BFP

Thank you

For me the tiredness kicks in around 5 weeks. But everyone is different, it could easily be an early sign though. Baby dust, good luck!
