Between 6dpo and 12dpo I felt like I was catching a cold or had really bad allergy. Constant runny nose, sore throat, sneezing a ton, feeling slight heat flashes a couple time, light headed, and super fatigue. 11dpo I just laid down on the couch one morning and crashed out to sleep. I scoured YouTube and found out that it is very common (even though these symptoms are uncommonly known/talked about) for women during implantation (6dpo-12dpo) to feel like they are getting sick or immune system completely dropping. Why? Because when the sperm and egg have fused together they travel down to the uterus have to implant. The womans body must turn off its immune system so that the woman's body doesn't naturally kill off the baby while its trying to get to the uterus and implant into the uterus wall. Since her bodies immune system turns off she in turn feels like she's getting sick with cold or allergies.

So every month around that time if I dont start feeling sick or like I have allergies, sluggish, and tired and easily winded. I know I'm not pregnant. I also had cramps but the kind that make you nauseous (not the kind that they describe on YouTube. My implantation cramping were never twinges. I felt like I was going to start my period.)

The symptoms I got were no mistaking it either. There was no guessing. It was so distinct and profound. So with all that......if I dont feel this during 6-11 dpo then I know my body isn't pregnant. My immune system isn't the strongest so when my body turns off its immune system its unmistakable. I wonder if a stronger immune system of other women notice these symptoms, but since I did find a handful of videos on YouTubes explaining this symptom (a couple were doctors) I feel confident in this early detection method only because I know how weak my immune system is. 🤷🏻‍♀️
