i believe my symptoms started at conception because we only had sex one time that month (15 hours after my positive opk that i got at 5 am) and the following night of intimacy is when i started feeling things i normally never do in my clockwork cycles. i expected my PMS symptoms to begin but i actually didnt have my usual ones at all. despite all this, i didnt believe i was pregnant but my boyfriend suspected i was based on how i was acting and feeling. most of my symptoms came in intervals of two days at a time. here is the symptoms by dpo that led to my surprise bfp at 8 dpo.
dpo 1 - dry sneezing, painless swollen breasts, HORRIFIC nausea at 2 am(miracle i didnt vomit)
dpo 2 - dry sneezing, painless swollen breasts, horrible nausea at 3:30 am(another miracle i didnt vomit)
dpo 3 - dry sneezing, painless swollen breasts, extreme milk cravings, lots of gas, terrible bloating (after eating or drinking ANYTHING at all)
dpo 4 - dry sneezing, painless swollen breasts, extreme milk cravings, lots of gas, terrible bloating
dpo 5 - dry sneezing, painless swollen breasts, metallic taste in my mouth, soft cramping that was too soft to be considered cramps
dpo 6 - dry sneezing, painless swollen breasts, metallic taste in my mouth, at 9 am sharp is when i had a strange nuzzling sensation on the left, it was abnormally low and was almost too soft to be considered a cramp. i believe this is when baby implanted. then an exact hour later, i had the same type of cramp but it was abnormally higher than before and still on the left side. each time it lasted a mere two seconds.
dpo 7 - sneezing, swollen breasts, sensation that my period had just begun ( i had menstrual like cramps as if a flow was occurring) but when i went to the bathroom there was absolutely no spotting or anything for that matter. this menstrual sensation only lasted for 20 minutes at around 10 am.
dpo 8 - my boyfriend(now fiancee) convinced me that i could be pregnant and although i yelled at him and swore i wasnt pregnant, when i got to my house i took a cheap pregnancy test at 4 pm and i saw another line appear after two minutes. i took another cheap test, and the same thing occurred. i was in disbelief, so i took a FRER, and lo and behold, it also showed two faint lines but they were fainter and thinner than my cheap test lines.
