Thanks! I really cant believe it! Here is the full story and if its tmi please just put it down to excitement!
Both OH and I are 33 - we both turn 34 in the summer. Neither of us has had a baby before. Had been planning to wait until the summer to ttc but realised that it might take us a while so thought we'd stop using contraceptives and see what happened. I was on the depro-provera injection for 10 years until about summer 2007 then the pill for about a year and then just condoms.
Normal cycle:
CD1 - CD4 - AF
CD5 - CD 9 - nothing
CD10-CD13 - EWCM & increased libido
CD14-CD16 - nothing
CD17-CD27 - just sore boobs

CD13 - Mon 22nd Feb EWCM -on tp - BD
CD14 - Tues 23rd Feb BD small amount of EWCM on tp. Felt shivery all day & generally unwell - have cystitis, a couple of hot flushes at night & feel anxious.
CD15 - Weds 24th Feb No ewcm/cm on tp. Stomach cramps that feel like period pain, tight chest & feel wheezy, Feel different - sort of anxious as if my pulse is racing but dont think it actually is. Feel hot - unlike me - Im usually cold! Tender boobs.
CD16 - Thurs 25th Feb - no ewcm/cm on tp. Shivery feeling/tight chest - feels as if wants to cough. Not much of an appetite. Noticed veins are prominent in my hip bone area. Have a feeling I might be PG! Stomach cramps again, wind, headache and feel quite tired by 9pm
CD17 - Fri 26th Feb - no ewcm/cm on tp. tight chest, bra feels a bit tight around the band bit. Noticed that all the veins in my forearms are really obvious - looks like someone has drawn on my arms with a blue pen. Also in the chest area and armpits & hips. Also a couple of veins on my boobs but they arent as obvious as the ones in my arms. Tender boobs.
CD18 - Sat 27th Feb - Same symptoms as previous couple of days
CD19 - Sun 28th Feb - Thirsty, emotional, cramps, tired in evening, sore boobs, cramp in feet when in bed at night. (never get this!)
CD20 - Mon 1st Mar - small amount of creamy cm in knickers, thirsty, sore boobs, veins still prominent & noticed new one in my thigh. Still got tight/wheezy chest.
CD21 - Tues 2nd Mar - BFN on hpt, itchy chin-then broke out in a couple of tiny spots on chin & face (I NEVER get spots!) Bad cramp in feet when in bed - much worse tonight. Fancied eating Pesto - not had this in ages
CD22 - Weds 3rd Mar - Woke up at 4am, stomach cramps in day, BFN on hpt, veins obvious in body, had to have pasta & pesto for dinner - smelt AMAZING, have noticed my perfume smells stronger too & I notice peoples breath more!. Showed OH veins in arms etc and he said that he could really see them too.
CD23 - Thurs 4th Mar - Woke up at 4am, BFN on hpt, bad stomach cramps all day & evening. sore boobs, tight chest & all previous symptoms
CD24 - Fri 5th March - probably 9dpo, BFN on hpt at 4.30am, (cant stop waking up at 4am!) stomach cramps all day & evening and all other recent symptoms,keep feeling like I want to cough but nothing there - just sort of wheezy/tight/funny feeling in throat/chest. Feel very tired early evening. Had to have pesto for dinner again! Feel like I have gone off sweet things - not fancied chocolate or hot chocolate etc for the last few days. Really hoping Im PG as otherwise Im going to feel v silly having all these symptoms - made a note of everything each day so if get a BFN I can ignore any 'symptoms' next month. Couldnt wait and did a hpt at about 7pm - thought I could see a slight shadow of a line under a bright light but its SO faint its not really there.
CD25 - Sat 6th Mar - Went to sleep at 1.30am and made sure had a wee right before fell asleep, woke at 6.30am but waited until 7.30pm to do a Clear Blue Digital test - and up popped PREGNANT 1-2 WEEKS - MY BFP!!!!!
OH and I are really happy and fc everything goes to plan and my little bean is getting cosy in my tummy and settling in for the next 9 months! I think I am 10dpo today, but I dont know when I actually ov and my cycle can sometimes be 27 days or a few days more, but its usually 28. I think the stomach cramps really made me think I could be PG as I NEVER get cramps until the day of AF or day before at the very most.
Sorry for such a long post but I have trawled the internet during my 2ww for symptoms etc so hope my info helps. I havent had any sickness or anything horrible - just felt different. I did 5 hpt and got 5 BFN before I got the BFP so its not all over if you dont get a positive straight away.
Lots of baby dust for everyone
