Just got my BFP! I spent hours looking at this thread and I'm happy to contribute, but I apologize in advance for how wordy this is! I was keeping everything written down in a 2ww journal on here...
1DPO: Woke up with a scratchy throat, almost as if I was coming down with a cold. Lightened up within a couple hours...OK now. Light AF-like cramps this a.m and into early afternoon...gone now. Breasts have started to become sore (not unusual in the 2ww); both tender but right is worse than the left. And the TMI stuff... infrequent bm's; cm getting a little thicker, creamy and stickier.
2DPO: Woke up SO THRISTY! I never get so thristy in the morning, but I chugged a whole large glass of ice water. Boobs still a little tender...Headache at 3:30 followed by mild stomach upset (probably due to the pills I took for the headache). cp mid-height and firm. Weird woozy-brained feeling a couple times throughout the day, like just randomly hit with it, felt like my brain was being dunked in water. TMI stuff...creamy, thick cm. Still lacking in the bm department infrequent, you could say...
3DPO: Woke up with terrible acid reflux; chewed a tums first thing. Got it again after breakfast, but that's not abnormal. SUPER tired...could have slept on my lunch break but no time considered faking illness to leave work early and sleep but i'm a good employee! CP mid-height and firm, but the odd this is the os is facing down; usually it's facing to the side or backward in the 2ww. TMI stuff...HOLY CERVICAL MUCUS! There has been quite an large amount of it today; not super abundant but definitely more than I'm used to in the 2ww. Thick and creamy, so much it's getting on my undergarments.
4DPO: Boobs still tender, though not as bad as yesterday. Cm still creamy, not as much as yesterday. Sore lower back on left side (not ususual), but radiating around the side towards the front (this is abnormal)...still too soon for anything so just chalking it up to funky sleeping. CP firm, med-high, facing down still...should be pointing posterior or to the side by now edit: checked this afternoon, cp is med-high, firm, and now pointing posterior Doing it's normal routine. Also have this weird "hallow" feeling in my belly, hard to explain. who knows...gas? Not feeling optimistic right now but trying to stay hopeful as it's still early. Got a little irritated w/ hubby but i'm guessing that's hormone related too...I always have one day a month like this. grrraawwl.
5DPO: Excited that eggie could implant today! Boobs still tender. CP med-high, mostly firm but a smidge smooshy and open (?). CM creamy, about same amount as yesterday. Hunger increasing...filled up on steak last night and was ready to eat again about a half hour later. I keep getting a weird twinge of discomfort kind of near my left ovary. Also had more AF-like cramps this afternoon...messed up stomach all day (my friend and I call them the "mooky stinks" lol).
6DPO: gassy and a little bloated. CP high and firm; CM scant, but what is there is creamy, a little wet, and a smidge of "clumps" in it. The weird thing is my boobs almost don't hurt at all; they usually hurt right up until AF. There's a tiny bit of tenderness but that's all. Later that day...boob pain increased slightly; CP medium & firm. Had a wave of nausea after lunch, like that feeling when you're about to burp up food, but never burped. Now I feel kind of icky and tired, like I'm coming down with something...Feeling like that's all this is, me coming down with illness just before the weekend...*sigh*...TMI stuff--gassy! I keep going poo, but I never feel like I'm "empty", if that makes sense? Been like that since yesterday...which I guess is better then being backed up or letting it loose lol! Didn't feel like dinner last night; only had some chips & guacamole with a few candies. Nothing seemed appealing except for sushi...but could have just been a bigger lunch than usual...
7DPO: Scant CM, but CP's high and slightly soft??? Couldn't reach the os to find out if it felt open or not; Very odd. Boobs still sore (not abnormal in the 2ww at all). TMI stuff!!!--had to poo this morning, soft, but the gas behind it...oh my! I felt like I was on a sitcom, lol!
8DPO: Boobs feel awesome, no pain at all really. more mooky stinks this morning, lol! Haven't checked cm or cp yet, but did take my first test this cycle! BFN, but I've still got time I thought I'd be bummed but taking it surprisingly well today...
9DPO: Bathroom issues again this morning Better not hit me at work...CP high and mostly firm. CM slightly increased, but still not much of it and creamy. boobs slightly tender at the sides but that's it. Otherwise feeling pretty normal, which is kind of discouraging...as was my test this morning. Another BFN. AF cramps hit me bad a little while ago, and I'm PMSing like mad this morning, one minute I'm about to cry, the next I want to punch someone LOL! I really feel like I'm going to start AF today, but not due until Friday. Update...took an OPK out of curiousity, expected to at least see two lines, but nope, a BFN OPK!!!
10DPO: Interesting morning...boobs still only slightly sore at sides. CP medium, firm, tilted back (normal at this time). CM is weird...creamy but has a couple little clumps in it...eww. poos back to somewhat normal aaannnnd...THIS TEST! Now, be honest, I know there is a very very super duper faint line...I can see it in real life but it's so faint. I took several pictures and found one where you can see what I see, but I can't tell if there is color to the line at all. I've used these before and never been able to see the antibody strip, but wondering if that's what it is? Have any of you got something like this and had it be negative? ((*edit* this is where i put my first faint positive; everyone could see something but no one could tell if it had color))
11DPO: BFP! It's there, it's obvious, it's darker than yesterdays, and it's most definitely pink! Boobs feel normal (that is, only slight pain on sides). Now that I know I'm pregnant I'm a little hesitant to check my CP & CM...I've been feeling little moments of cramping in my uterus, but it's not abnormal in my LP before my period...the only difference is that time a couple days ago were I really felt my AF was going to show that day, the cramps were just as intense.
So, there you have it!!! Sorry about all the writing
I hope it helps someone though. Good luck to everyone!
thanks for your post dear xxx
. but my boobs are fine, no CM, no headaches, nausea, or anything interesting like that. BORING!
Congrats on all the BFPs ladies!xx
