Just got my BFP! Here were my symptoms

[ttcgracie]

Hey guys. 28 day cycles if that helps.

I ovulated between 7th and 13th (ovulation day was 12th)

On the 14th I got what I thought was ovulation pain deep down on both sides. Just like a twinge feeling. This was accompanied by achy lower legs (like growing pains if that makes sense)

This carried on up until right now, every other day and the twinges were like once or twice a day.

Two days ago I got a weird metallic taste in my mouth for about 2 hours, very strange.

I also have a bit of acne round my lower jawline!

Yesterday my test was negative. Today I took 2 and both are positive! Anyone else in the two week wait?

I wasn't due on my period until 26th!

Just to add! I also had a vivid dream last night. Me and my boyfriend had a baby girl. Such a strange dream!

Thank you for this!! In my tww and so hard not to symptom spot! I've got lower back pain and my hip hurts and I've had mild cramping for the last week and a half or so, I know these aren't usual symptoms but so hard not to get my hopes up!

@ttcgracie thank you for this! Gives me hope! I was actually reading this whilst having lower leg aches! I’ve had vivid dreams for 2 nights now and I’ve had cramps this morning and yesterday so fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Hey girls, I'm in the two week wait at the moment! According to my app I ovulated on the 19th 🤞🤞🤞 should be due in around a weeks time. Its so hard not to sit and symptom spot constantly 🙈
I'm just curious if any of you are having similar symptoms as me and if you think I could be pregnant too!
So for around a week now I've been getting cramps and twinges on and off, I've been so tired I've been sleeping a straight 10/11 hours some nights! The past few days I've been super bloated but more in my groin area rather than stomach, my boobs are super heavy and painful, and today I had a sharp pain in my back for a few seconds then had these weird pulling sensations in my stomach near my belly button! Any of this sound promising or sounds similar to what anyone else is experiencing? Or am I just over thinking everything 🙈😂 x

@Kg87 I’ve also had vivid dreams (scary ones too!) for the last two nights and I have mild cramping today. What DPO are you?

@MrsLauraM oh no! Mine haven’t been scary, just very odd and I remember them so well whereas I don’t usually! I’m only 1 or 2 DPO so these symptoms probably aren’t symptoms at all, more likely just coincidence but I can only hope! 😂 how many DPO are you?

@Kg87 well, more creepy than scary to be honest but I’ve also been able to recall them so clearly which isn’t like me either. Bizarre!
I’m 6dpo now.

@MrsLauraM ahhh okay I suppose it’s probably best you don’t remember them 😂 oh cool so you’re getting closer now! When will you test?

@Kg87 I was going to hold off until next Friday which would be 16DPO so that I’m actually late but I think I might test at 14DPO next Wednesday instead. What about you?

@MrsLauraM I think I'll try to wait until the end of next week, fingers crossed I can wait that long! A friend got a positive at 7DPO so I feel like I might cave in sooner 😂 have you been TTC long?

@Kg87 oh really? I bet I end up caving on Sunday which will be 11 DPO 🙈
I got my implant out in January so its technically 9 months but it’s only cycle 6 as I’ve had some long cycles. Also, I haven’t really been ‘trying’ as in checking ovulation and DTD regularly during fertile week etc.
I took soy isoflavones this cycle to try and regulates my cycles a little but. It seems to have done the trick as I ovulated on CD15 as opposed to around CD30 like my last 2 (that’s if ovulated at all before). I’m a little bit more hopeful this month but worried that I’m getting my hopes up too much.
How long have you been trying for?

I’ve had all these symptoms and still getting negative tests. My last period was 9 weeks ago 😩

I made mince and potatoes for dinner the other night and the smell made me sick, I couldn’t eat it even though my partner said it smelled and tasted fine. It didn’t to me.

The past two days I’ve been craving pickled beetroot right out the jar and the taste is almost orgasmic to me. My mouth is watering just writing this.

And yet, it seems like I’m not pregnant so I’m just over here going mental.

Congratulations on your BFP 😊

@MrsLauraM ahh okay yes so we’re in a similar boat! I stopped taking my pill last November and had wonky cycles until around Feb when it settled for 6 months, I was having 25 day cycles and then August jumped to 41 and September 33 so went back to doctor and they diagnosed PCOS. We started trying properly in May/June but no success yet, hoping this is the cycle 🤞🏼 If not then I’ll be put on Letrozole next cycle and I’m being booked to have a look at my Fallopian tubes in the next 2/3 months and I’m going to push my husband to get checked too! I’m wondering if I’ve ovulated that much this year as I don’t really ever have any type of PMS symptoms and apparently that’s a sign of not ovulating, hoping this medication will do the trick if not 🤞🏼

@Kg87 aw it’s good that you e got a plan for moving forward. Fingers crossed you won’t need it but I’ve heard the medication they give you when you have PCOS can be really good. One of my friends has PCOS fell in her first cycle of taking the medication after trying for a year.
I was concerned about PCOS as I had a few 45/46 day cycles and I struggle with weight gain so went to see my GP who sent me for bloods but everything came back normal. If I don’t get pregnant by February I will go back though as I’ll have been trying for over 12 months then.

@MrsLauraM oh that’s good to hear about your friend! A friend of mine was also on Letrozole and fell preg the same month, trying not to get my hopes up but it sounds positive! Yeah it was a shock to me as I have no external symptoms of PCOS at all except for these last 2 cycles and the latest scan which shows the cysts. My doctor also did an AMH blood test which should my egg count as 35 when it should be around 10 apparently 🤷🏽‍♀️ Yes it’s definitely worth going back to your GP as my doctor referred me earlier than usual so I didn’t have to wait 12 months, the fertility doctor started me on cycle monitoring straight away as soon as I was referred which was after 6 months of trying which I’m so pleased about as now I’ve found out about the PCOS which I would never have known about. The TWW is awful, I don’t know how I’m going to resist testing 😂
