I just got my bfp and yes, I gave up on the 28th (10dpo) thinking it was AF time. My breasts are sore but not as sore as they were during ovulation. Here are my symptoms.
Here are my symptoms:
1-7 dpo - nothing unusual
8dpo - pinching pains (similar to ovulation) yesterday, first on the left side, then the right side.
9dpo- Took a FRER test. BFN. Some discharge with a pink tinge, then creamy with no tinge. light cramping
10dpo- slightly brown and now no tinge again. I had cramps similar to AF this morning (and lower back soreness). I was convinced that AF was coming but then the cramps subsided and I started getting a weird deep slightly throbbing/burning pain on my right side for 15 mins... then no symptoIms. Tightness in my abs like I had done sit ups earlier in the day.
11-12dpo - I had some dizziness when standing but I've had this symptom before so not sure if it's related. Still bleeding, heavier than before but not very heavy (enough for a liner all day). Blood is brown like the end of your AF. Some AF like cramps sometimes only on one side (like ovulation). Tightness in my abs like I had done sit ups earlier in the day. Woke up at 4 am with heartburn 1 night.
13dpo - Bleeding slowed down, some what pink mixed with brown. I thought I was getting my period since 10dpo but then when I wipe at night, there was a small blob of CM mixed with brown blood and then the bleeding stopped. The blob thing never happened to me. AF type cramping has lightened and is only there slightly.
14dpo - took a Dollar Tree test in the morning for a BFN. AF like very light cramping in the morning and then a somewhat achy cervix (it didn't really hurt, I was just very aware of it). Bleeding starting again, very light more pink than brown. Fell asleep on the couch randomly for about an hour. Held my pee from 1:30 to 8:45 (I know crazy right?) and tested with a FRER- BFP! Occasional pinching cramps but nothing too painful.
