Congrats on your BFP!
I haven't posted here yet... but I am going to test on the 9th unless
shows before then.
I'm a little irregular and have short cycles (23-26 days) but the past few months have only been 23-24 days. This means I should be coming on either today or tomorrow. But I used the CBDOPK for the first time in Sept and it was positive on 23rd (only then). This means potentially I could have ovulated then or even the 24th.
This means AF would be due around the 7th (back to 26 days).
I did start taking vit B-complex but this was very late into my cycle so doubt it had any effect. This was because I usually start getting brown spotting anywhere from 1 to 7 days before AF. Last month it was 3 but I think it was because I stopped taking my multivitamins and vitamin D. (I have a vitamin D deficiency due to epilepsy tablets.)
So that's my history cycle... but this month I have felt different things. I know that they may all be in my head and I keep trying to tell myself this and that I still can get my period on the 7th - or even the 8th. We BD'd several times around ovulation (when I thought I was going to O - on 20th - and when I showed + on OPK on 23rd).
Around 6DPO or even before, I started getting symptoms... I felt like I was coming down with a bug. I had a headache and tiredness too as well as a bit of diarrhoea (sorry if TMI). The next day I had mild AF like cramps and same as the day before. Since then, I've had the headaches on and off all day every day, tiredness, nausea (which only gets better when I eat), constipation and strange feelings in my tummy. My tummy feels tight. I don't think I am going to come on today as I haven't had any brown spotting - only one streak of light brown mixed in with CM (which I'm hoping was IB). This looked different to my usual spotting and my usual spotting wouldn't spot once it started - with what I did have, I have had nothing since.
Obviously I may still come on on the 7th or even the 8th and it could be the vitamins, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up yet. I told my hubby this morning and I think he's trying not to get his hopes up too (which is good). This would be our first so I have no idea what to expect.
