So! Last AF was 10/24. BD 11/3, 11/6, 11/8, 11/10, and 11/12. Tested positive on ovulation kit 11/10.

1-3 dpo - Symptom spotting big time - tired, bloated, sometimes a little queasy. Breakout. Felt a general heaviness.
4 dpo - bloated and tired.
5 dpo - very light pink spotting at night when i wiped. light fluttering feeling on left side in the afternoon.
6-7 dpo - brown spotting only when wiping. tired. very slight queasiness that happened every once in a while and passed quickly.
8 dpo - brown spotting. again only when wiping. had to rush to bathroom after showering because i thought I was going to be sick, wasn't. could've just been over heating from shower?
9 dpo - spotting has stopped. sides of breasts sore to touch.

general - tired. starving in the morning, but then feeling full to the point of sickness as soon as I start eating anything. stuffy nose (but had a cold 3 weeks ago so could be residual)

AF is due on friday the 22nd. I never spot between periods and I don't usually breakout or feel crampy until day of. I will usually get a bit of brown 1-2 days before heavy flow starts, but with the spotting so early and then stopping today when AF isn't due for 3 more days - just SO confused!

I know you don't know until you either test BFP or AF shows, and while I suppose I've never paid this close attention before, I do feel like things are a little different. I just generally don't have anything of note happening after O. Tested BFN this morning, but I know it's still early.

Any opinions?

Hope you get your BFP, it is so confusing - have you thought about tracking your BBT?! I just did it with a cheap (free?) phone app called MeFertil and a thermometer. I got a BFP on day AF was due first month I tracked... I know we are really blessed to have fallen pregnant so quickly but watching my temp stay high and no signs of AF coming led me to have confidence and test on AF due day. My body was being a bit crazy (sore boobs + other tell tales signs in other unsuccessful months I decided tracking BBT would help me get more in tune with my body!

Anyway hopefully THIS IS IT! Sounds like it could be but you'll have to wait til at least Friday... When I did get my BFP it was very faint on day AF was due, and same with morning wee the next day. A week later a CB digital one was a bit more conclusive. I'm still (at 15 weeks) in shock that there's a baby inside me and amazed and so thankful!
