Now that I'm "out".. my BFP.. what I did, my TWW...

I know when I was TTC I drooled over TWW information and tips and tricks.. hoping to pay back everyone that posted something helpful with this post.

In case you don't want to read all of the details, I want to say something that is very important:

I was completely convinced AF was coming the days before I got my BFP. It felt EXACTLY the same. Cramps, bloat, CRAMPS, and more cramps. DO NOT GIVE UP IF YOU FEEL THIS WAY!

It took us 4 months to get our BFP. I refused to test any month before AF was due, I didn't want to feel disappointed and was scared to death of a chemical.

The month we conceived, I had gone hog wild with using TTC tricks:
Mucinex (I think this was the key -My CM was much more like the types described on websites than it was without the Mucinex)
Preseed (I don't believe this has anything to do with conceiving)
Green Tea
Evening Primrose Oil

See? Told you I did everything! Chat Icon

Also used OPKs but never really got a dark, dark line.

TWW symptoms:
6DPO - Sharp pains, breasts achy, yellow CM (this yellow CM was the only unique thing about this TWW)
7DPO-8DPO - AF-like cramps
9DPO - Fluttering in the middle of the night, breast twinges/aches, more AF-like cramps
10DPO-13DPO - More AF-like cramps, one sharp pain that made me yelp, breast tenderness/achiness
14DPO (Xmas morning!) - BFP

Got my BFP on a dollar tree test

Congratulations Chat Icon HH 9 months to you.

I just tested this morning at 12DPO - BFN. I'm almost postive I'm out due to that and the fact that I've been feeling EXACTLY the way I do every other month.
Thanks for sharing your 2WW.
