I realise this is an old thread, but just in case anyone out there has been trawling through TTC looking for help with their symptoms....
I got my BFP
today at 21dpo
. I have 3 other children and so far, my symptoms mirror that of my first child DS. With my DD's, I got a BFP before the missed AF and had no symptoms until the morning sickness kicked in at around 6 wks. So here is my timeline:
1-7dpo - slightly tender bbs and nausea
8dpo - lots of brown spotting & occasional cramping
9dpo - more brown spotting, occasionally pink and quite slimy CM (sorry TMI!)
10 dpo - BFP (but it took 20 mins to appear and instructions said not to read after 10 mins.....but for a POAS addict, what do you expect?!
11dpo - BFN with CB digi. Sore throat appeared. CM more red now and looking like start of AF
12dpo-18 dpo - Increased hunger. Cramping stopped and CM clear or EWCM only. BBS feel huge and veins seem more prominent
19 dpo - BFP at 4pm, but very faint
20 dpo - BFP seems slightly darker when tested at 10.45pm, but still ridiculously faint. DH struggles to see it
21 dpo - BFP on 3 tests of differing brands. Yay!!
In hindsight I think the cramping and spotting at 11dpo could have been IB? IDK.
Just for info, I MC in March at 11 wks, and have been TTC since. My cycle didn't return so I had a course of progesterone in May and that kick-started it.
Lots of luck and
to everyone and I hope this helps xx
