My symptoms during theTWW

We got lucky in the third month of trying, but the other two times I spent endless hours on this forum reading about possible symptoms and any signs that can make me believe I'm getting a BFP. I imagined all kinds of symptoms but turns out none of them were true.

But this time since I got a positive BFP I decided to write down all my symptoms so you guys can compare.. My cycles are pretty regular 27-29 days but this is the first Time I used OPK and was surprised to know I ovulated on day 18 of cycle! BD everyday until day of positive OpK, after that I had to travel so we couldn't.

1-7 DPO - No symptoms at all, except for a large zit on my left cheek
8 DPO - period like cramps, low intensity, increased CM creamy
9 DPO - threw up in the morning. - period like cramps continued, more pronounced, not painful, lasted several hours and increased CM - this is the day I got suspicious and tested with FRER -- BFP!! I highly recommend this test, my Wondfo showed bfn
10 DPO - cramps still there, came and went intermittently, more intense in shorter bursts than before. CM continues to be creamy white, did another FRER and still BFP
11 DPO - stable, lower CM, no cramps. Made my appointment with the OB.

I think what worked for us this time was :

Continuous daily BD till the day OPk shows positive
Husband stared chewing Omega 3 gummies and Multi vitamins (Costco)
No soaking in the hot tub ( I did this the previous month often)
Pre-Seed is awesome !! ( previous month we used Olive Oil - fail)
I lost 5 pounds this month with Weight Watchers! Yay. Maybe the slight weight loss helped my cause. I'm not overweight, just a little chubby.

Hope this helps atleast one person. Wish you all tons of baby dust.
