@HRHXO The only thing I really done differently was I was prescribed folic acid for my folate anemia. DTD every 2 days in my fertile window & day of ovulation.
I tried really hard not to symptom spot this month but come about 7dpo, they were getting too strong to ignore.
At 5DPO I was super bloated and gassy (put that down to my ibs) I was super exhausted but I figured that was the anemia.
Started getting right pelvic pain/cramps.
Also had a super runny nose.
Those symptoms continued for a few days but I also got bad acid reflux, insomnia and heart palpitations- again, all thing I could explain away.
By 8dpo my breast started getting sore & bigger, much bigger - think it was a change of about 4 inches but I assumed that was down to AF coming soon.
By 9dpo I was getting a bit nauseous & my appetite had gone. My sex drive also went through the roof for that one day too 😳
From 10dpo my most common symptoms have been camping, breast tenderness, nipple soreness, cold symptoms (runny nose, blocked nose), extreme fatigue, dizziness, headaches & shortness of breath.
I'm now 14dpo and yesterday I ate like an absolute pig, would have thought I hadnt ate for weeks! 😂
@Firsttimetrier definitely get yourself a FRER!
At 10dpo, I had the urge to POAS so I used a cheap Tesco blue dye. I got thee faintest of all lines, so just disregarded it as either evap of a false positive.
Kept telling myself I'd wait until Friday when AF will be truly late but something in me told me to test today.
Didn't expect anything, fully anticipated a BFN, pepped talked myself not to be disappointed and I couldn't have been more surprised!
The FRER came up even stronger than the cheapie & I'm honestly still in disbelief.
I haven't told anyone - except from you guys of course! 😂
I have no idea what to do with myself now & I've got a family party on Saturday where the expectation is for me to drink. Literally have no idea what to do about that 😂😂😂
Sorry that was a super long post! 🙈😂
