Symptoms leading to BFP at 9DPO

15 replies

Geemmm · 05/03/2023 21:15

Hello all - I thought I would list some of my symptoms that led to a BFP. I’ve spent almost 3 years scouring for posts like this whilst TTC and thought I would share mines incase it helps anyone like myself.

For reference I ovulated on February 19th and got a BFP on February 28th which was 9dpo for me.

1dpo - slight BBT dip. Light creamy CM.
2dpo - BBT started rising again. Was very tired. Skin was quite oily.
3dpo - slight rise is BBT. Light creamy CM. Sore breasts (unusual for me - usually get sensitive nipples and that’s it)
4dpo - very slight dip in BBT but still .3 above cover line. Sore breasts.
5dpo - Warm vagina (so random to explain). Very slight niggles on right side near ovaries. Got really upset after work. Super tired - yawning all day. Medium creamy CM. BBT rise again.
6dpo - BBT drop to just above cover line. Medium creamy CM. Cried when I woke up. Little niggles low down left and right of the centre. Super tired - had like a 2 hour nap mid afternoon. Heartburn too.
7dpo - BBT stayed the same as 6dpo. Sore breasts.
8 dpo - BBT rose .1 (still super low for me at this stage in cycle - usually very high). Diarrhoea first thing. Sore boobs - sensitive nipples too. Really hungry and had eaten a lot. Super tired - yawning through work etc.
9 dpo - BBT stayed the same. Light CM. Tired. Cold. Vvvf positive test with FMU on Clear blue early. SMU vvf BFP with clear blue and Superdrug own. Faint positive on FRER about 8pm. Feeling a bit sicky at night. Feeling warm as though coming down with something. Left hip sciatica pain for like half an hour.
10 dpo - BBT started to rise again. Light creamy CM. Light BFP with FMU on FRER. Loose bowels. Feeling warm - Then feeling freezing. Had a nap on the couch with hot water bottles for tummy and back. Cramps in tummy and back but not pains or twinges. - dull ache feeling. Almost like AF but very mild (my cramps are debilitating first few days of AF). Started cyclogest pessaries.

Have attached a progression pick of my FRER lines up til now at 14dpo. Today I also got 2-3 weeks on a clear blue digital.

Hope this helps ease someone's TWW x

Thank you so much for that 🙏
Currently in my tww so this is interesting to see and compare 😁

It is worth noting that you won’t get any pregnancy symptoms until after implantation has occurred, which at the very earliest would be 6dpo. Before implantation you are not pregnant so cannot have symptoms caused by pregnancy as there is no hcg being produced. While in the tww you do tend to be hyper sensitive to every little niggle and nudge of your body which people often mistake for symptoms.

Very true. What I would say though is the symptoms listed pre 6dpo for me are very unusual to my typical cycle. My BBT usually goes very high very quickly after O and stays high until about 12dpo. My CM is also very different in the run up to AF from O. I also never have sore boobs. Everyone is different though.

You're welcome! Everyone is different but I know what I'm like during the TWW so thought it might help someone's over thinking brain. Best of luck to you in your TWW!

I had none
Thought I was out just got bfp on sat 😁

Sorry to jump on, not sure anyone will see this. Would you say this is an evap line or a false positive? Did this morrisons home brand sunday afternoon.
(long story short, my coil threads dissapeared after 2 years, had a scan to confirm it isn't in my womb and advised to test)
Did 2 frer, 1 Monday and 1 yesterday and have been bfn 🤨 so super confused right now. Period due in about 3 days, not sure as being on the coil they have been irregular, also no idea when I would have ovulated 😵‍💫

Really useful thank you!

I'm 12dpo, yesterday and this morning I had some pale pink spotting only when wiping, and also yesterday I had a nosebleed out of nowhere. I didn't have any spotting or bleeding with my first so it's probably just AF on her way but obviously can't help hoping it might be a touch of implantation spotting! I am also getting some crampy twinges but nothing painful, similar to what you've described. I remember a sort of "pulling" around this time when I got pregnant before so again struggling to not get my hopes up 🤣 I won't ever let myself test before at least 14dpo though so got a few more days of guessing...unless AF appears.

Congrats and best of luck with your pregnancy!

Hello love - I would say the FRER looks like the evaps I've had before - is it still like that now? Usually the wee line disappears if there is no colour to it. The other brand I'm not familiar with but from that pic it looks like a faint positive to me xx

I binned the frer as looked very negative. The other 1 was a morrisons home 1 which showed up 2 lines right away but then the frer which I did the day after was negative so I'm soo confused 😕

Hey I’m new around here 👋

TTC#2 and had a chemical last month.

my app says I’m 9DPO today and if the chemical didn’t mess up my cycle too much I’m due on Sunday.

I’ve had a lot of CM from jelly, lotion, creamy and stretchy, sticky and watery. I keep getting dull cramping in my back right side or lower stomach. It kinda feels like AF but last month I thought AF was starting but I was actually pregnant before the chemical happened. I felt extremely sick out of nowhere at 5DPO then had some sharp flutters at 6DPO. My nipples are sore to touch but I’m probably touching them too much 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m very tired in the morning (thanks to our toddler!). I don’t wanna eat meals I wanna snack all day. I can’t sleep at night and been having soooo many dreams maybe 3 a night? Had BFN the past 3 days (still early). d Anyone had a BFP after similar?
