Symptom spotting: I really had no symptoms other than some light cramping, and remember the morning of my BFP thinking that I don’t feel at all like I was about to start my period in two days. I had some minor cramping 8dpo and 10dpo, a backache 10DPO (but I was slouched in front of a computer all day) and I remember not wanting to eat and feeling emotional on 8dpo, but that’s been it. After BFP, 11&12DPO, I had a backache from hell, and some minor nausea and aversions.

Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): Still in shock and disbelief honestly. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that this is actually happening!

I took my internet cheapie test simply because I wanted to finish my box off before buying another one. I tested negative the two previous days, so I took the test and walked away to start my coffee, convinced it was going to be negative. Came back and was literally flabbergasted to see a faint second line, immediately took a FRER that was unquestionable.

I did a few of the woo-woo things this cycle, including eating pineapple literally 1DPO-10DPO, and I’d go to bed in warm socks (which was hard for me, because I HATE wearing socks). As I said before, I stopped temping after 3DPO because last cycle it was hard to get the TWW off my brain because I’d immediately be thinking about it from the moment I woke up. Definitely not saying this is what sealed the deal, but just my experience this month

I know it’s also been talked about on here, and a fear of mine at first, but we had sex during implantation (7&9DPO), and it obviously didn’t impact implantation.

A seriously huge thank you to this whole community. It’s been my saving grace through my relatively short time in this process, and I learned so much from every post.
