Symptoms before BFP

My husband and I have been actively trying for our first child starting mid-January. I had my last AF begin on January 19th, and I THINK I ovulated on February 6th. The Clear Blue Advanced OPK kept flashing the smiley face at me, but no peak.

For the last week or so, I’ve had lower back pains, horrible nausea, mood swings (sorry, dear husband), and my tastes have completely changed. I can’t even enjoy my favorite slice of pizza before I’m running to the bathroom to hurl!

I’ve been telling myself that it’s way too early to tell, that I shouldn’t get my hopes way up. BUT today, I had some brown discharge after cramping on my lower abdomen. I’m usually pretty attuned to my periods, but it was at a location that I’ve never felt before. It was more at the front of the uterus facing the belly button, if that makes sense. I’m so hoping that it’s implantation bleeding, and that I’ll get my BFP in a few days!

Has anyone experienced symptoms before implantation/BFP?
