My symptoms....LONG and Detailed
A lot of people say that you can’t feel symptoms until the zygote implants. I tend to disagree and you can read below. When an egg is fertilized it sends off a chemical reaction that can be noticed byt the body. Sure I’ve had a few of these symptoms before as PMS but NEVER all of these at once and some are totally unique to the pregnancy. I was al avid symptom seeker and I vowed to document mine for all the ladies that need to read about symptoms during their 2WW. Well here they are, Sorry if its TMI.
From 1 DPO I was bloated and had an overall “Full” feeling in my bikini area. You could literally draw a triangle from hip to hip to the vagina. Also, everything was “tight” and felt like stretching was sore like I had strained a muscle. This gradually got worse as the days progressed and around 8 DPO was a lot worse at night.
Also, by the end of the day I was a lot more bloated and my back was KILLING ME
I was very emotional with crazy moods swings, happy one minute, lunatic the next. DH loved it!
One thing that was very different is that my ( . ) ( . ) get very sore right after O . Like so bad that I can’t touch them and to take them out of my bra is horrible. I’m a very large chested girl. I never got sore. The only thing I noticed is around 2 DPO I started getting more bumps over my areolas (Montgomery tubercules) around 10 DPO the veins on my ( . ) ( . ) Started getting brighter and I could actually see them under the areolas. My areolas also started turning a little darker. My nipples were constantly getting hard through out the day on and off for no reason and were very sensitive. I got out of the shower one night and DH pinched on e of my nipples and I almost castrated him! He hasn’t done it since.
Around 2-3 DPO I would get a sharp pain in my ( . ) ( . ) at random times throughout the day. I also got this random pain in my vagina a few times a day. It felt like a lightening bolt being shot up from the vagina towards my head, really weird and didn’t feel very great.
3DPO food and smell aversions started. I smelled bacon and almost hurled. I also was craving FOOD not sweets of junk. I wanted meals, small ones but quite often. On 4 DPO I ran up 10 stairs to catch a train and when I got to the top I hurled. ON the way back home someone was eating a sandwich with bacon on it and I hurled again, this time on the train. I felt so bad for the conductor but I couldn’t hold it.
AS for CM. After ovulation I had a lot of creamy lotion like CM, Usually I dry up right after ovulation. Around 8-9 DPO I had thin EWCM. After that I had really wet CM. I keep thinking AF is here.
CP All over the place and changes up and down throughout the day. The only thing that stayed consistent is that it was firm and closed. CP is not a good indicator of early pregnancy. Around 1 DPO I started with sore gums, bleeding didn’t start until 11 DPO. When I say sore I mean all the gums around my teeth, it hurt to brush, to eat, to close my mouth it sucked. Also, I couldn’t stand having the taste of food in my mouth after I ate. I have been brushing and rinsing EVERY TIME I EAT! Headaches- started 1 DPO and I get them throughout the day. Some days I wake up with one other days I go to bed with one.
I usually wake up ok in the morning , STARVING but able to eat. Between 4pm and 6 pm I get queasy. I haven’t hurled since the day at the train.
1-10 DPO started waking up with sore throat it the morning and achy, like the flu. A few times I thought I might have had a slight fever but didn’t check.
I’ve also had hot flashes, my cheeks are rosy (I’m actually glowing). I haven’t broken out like I usually do right before AF! I have also been lightheaded since 2 DPO
I tested all with FRER and finally a digital. I tested 9DPO and got a FAINT, I mean FAINT line, DH was really skeptical.
10DPO I got up at 3am to pee and forgot to test. I drank some water and went back to sleep. Tested at 7 am and nothing. I was so upset.
11 DPO tested and faint line darker than 9 DPO, DH even saw it.
12 DPO line is visibly darker and positive digital.
What I did before my BFP I was on prenatals for 7 months before my PFB to get my folice acid levels nice and high. I stopped drinking alcohol and ANY caffeine in January. I also stopped eating anything with artificial sweeteners and soda of any kind.
I took evening primrose oil tablets every day until Ovulation and then stopped. I was also taking 1,000mg of B6 due to a shortening Luteal Phase.
I also increase my dairy intake to include full fat dairy since there are new studies out there that say that including full fat dairy in your diet can aid in ovulation.
DH takes a mens multi vitatmin. He also drank green tea every dea that is suppose to help aid in male fertility. DH aslo abstained form drinking alcohol a month prior to ovulation because new studies are emerging that alcohol can affect mens sperm and later lead to possible effect to the fetus.
I'm still in shock and can't believe it. I pray every day that all you beautiful, strong and courageous mommies-to-be "cross-over" soon!
Good luck ladies
ETA: We also BD'd with Pre seed!

Re: My symptoms....LONG and Detailed
Thank you for posting this- i'm not crazy! I know the minute after I BD that i'm pg. I can feel it. My stomach feels like someone is pulling on strings. I told this to my mom and some other people and they told me I was crazy. I get every symptom you had, especially the gum bleeding.
Congrats on your BFP!!

Thank you for asking this question, because I've felt this twice during my 2WW this time, and although I don't want to get my hopes up , I really think we got it right this time ......... I hope someone has an answer to this...???
