the tww before my bfp.. with a lesson at the end
I finally did it, ladies! got my bfp yesterday! so I thought I'd share what my symptoms were during my tww. there weren't many and obviously everyone is different, but if you notice any of this it could be a sign!
1-6 dpo: nothing. promised myself I wouldn't symptom-spot this month.
7 dpo: some mild cramping.
8 dpo: super painful sex. my cervix was not happy about the activity at.all. also, bfn.
9-13 dpo: nothing. so much nothing that I told myself I was already out for the month. bfns at 10 and 12 dpo.
14 dpo: sore boobs. af didnt come, but I usually start closer to 16 dpo. vvvfl that I MISSED because I threw the test strip away too early!
15 dpo: more sore boobs, dizziness, nausea. I KNEW I had to be pregnant. tested at night.. another vvvfl that I missed. as I was waiting for the test, I checked cm as usually my first sign of af is some brown in my cm. I had a tiny bit of blood mixed in, so I threw out my test and threw a fit about af coming. cried to my husband, etc.
16 dpo: still no sign of af. tested again. THREW MY TEST AWAY EARLY AGAIN. then thought.. NO WAY I'm not pregnant. pulled the test out of the trash and saw all the vvvfls sitting in the trash... I knew after so long a test is invalid, so I tested on a digital I was saving to be sure and... PREGNANT!
moral of the story: even if it looks negative.. WAIT THE FULL 3 MINUTES! i would give up and throw my tests out as soon as they looked done and i didnt see a line! i could have known i was pregnant 2 days sooner!
