I ladies, I remember reading lots of on the 2 week wait when I was TTC so I thought it's only fair that I give back and share my experiences.
All this is in hindsight, I tried very hard to talk myself out of noticing anything at the time.
my first symptoms were:
- shooting pain on the side of my right breast on the day I believe conceived. But I ignored this at the time and put it down to pregnacare which I read had been giving people fake pregnancy symptoms.
- About 4DPO ( I don't technically when I O'd this is going by my own estimation). I gagged while brushing my teeth. That never happened to me before. So I put it down to placebo.
- About 5DPO I had a big O and had cramps. That has never happened to me before. But I was super stressed at the time so put it down to that.
- At about 7 DPO I woke up on the middle of the night with strange cramps. It was moderate cramps but with a heat and vibration in my uturus. It felt strange. This was very unusual for me because although I get bad period cramps I never get cramps prior to my periods. So this is around the time I'm thinking something is up.
5: all through out the DPOs I was getting some cramps and some a dull ache in cervix.
6: Around 11DPO to 14 I was having full blown period cramps. At this point I thought my period was due and took lots of painkillers.
- I strongly advice anyone TTC to only take paracetamol if you're having cramps. A lot of painkillers are unsafe in pregnancy. Especially the more heavy prescription only ones, which I was on.
7: From 8 DPO, my CM was watery. I usually don't get any CM. I didn't have much- I've read some women experience heavy discharge. I didn't but it was noticeable.
8: finally on the day I decided to test about 17 DPO I got what looked like tacky greenish/yellow discharge. Almost like snot. Very unusual for me. I decided to test on that day and got a BFP.
I then had no symptoms until 8 weeks when all hell broke loose.
