Hi All,
I didn't know for sure but figured if some of you were like me you would like a list of signs from o day through the 2ww from someone who just got a BFP. So here is what the 2ww wait was like for me:

Oday-ewcm still there, started three days ago, we bd at 8pm

1dpo- cramps which felt like my usual tugging/aching feeling that I get right before I start, so I was thinking crap we missed it and I o'd earlier (ended up that I did o on time)

2dpo-still crampy and my cm starts changing to ewcm mixed with white instead of just clear.

3dpo-not really crampy but have sharp pain on and off on my right ovary which again is usually a sign I am about to start so I thought well maybe my cycle is really out of whack this month. Plus my cm is more white and kinda tacky.

4dpo-wow do I ever start getting emotional. Now let me add that I was under some stress. I was about to close on my house(tomorrow)and starting insurance school on Monday (it was currently Thurs.)

5dpo-my poor dh must be thinking I am a pyschopath as I walk out the door crying as I am leaving to sign the papers on our house. Plus I got up to pee 3 times last night and my bbs are staring to get super sore and my cm is disappearing so I am just sure I'm about to start any day now.

6dpo-I still have the sharp pain and cramping along with mood swings and now I am getting sleepy really early. All of these things are just like the symptoms I get before af so I am at this point hoping that I am pg but doubting it.

7dpo-my dh and I are arguing like crazy, mostly due to my new b!tchy attitude. I have no cm and all the normal signs of af and I am just in a crappy mood. Again I am so tired I fall asleep during my favorite show that night only to wake up several times to use the bathroom.

8dpo-my bbs are heavy and aching and my cramps are pretty constant this day and my face starts breaking out. I have thick white tacky cm and am still pretty touchy about the littlest things.

9dpo-exhaustion sets in and that with my mood swings makes for a big cry fest this night as I am studying for a class exam tomorrow in insurance school.

10dpo-my cramps start lightening up and my acne starts clearing while my bbs are getting more sore. same thick cm and so I am really confused now because some of my signs say af is coming and some say I'm pg.

11dpo-its like dr. jekyll and mrs. hyde with me all the time, I am starting to annoy myself now! Dh asks if I think I am pg and I explain that all my symptoms like bbs, cramps, acne, and tiredness usually happen before af. The only big differences are my mood swings and constipation and its like I am getting my cm back.

12dpo-so this is the day I would get af if I was on a 26 day cycle which is sometimes the case for me so due to my cramps, sore bbs, mild acne, and light cm I am expecting af all day. Like I said the only thing making me question if I'm pg or not are the mood swings and the constipation.

13dpo-I really want to take a test but don't because I'm afraid of the negative. Nothing has changed as far as symptoms so I decide to wait and see if af comes today or tomorrow.

14dpo-my bbs are not sore anymore just heavy so I am convinced that means my af will start any minute now. But my acne is gone, I am still constipated and my cramps have disappeared so I am utterly confused.

15dpo-so I know I can test now but I don't because 1st thing this morning I get a dot of brown discharge the size of a pencil eraser when I wipe so I think, this sucks, here I am past my 28 day cycle and NOW I start, you've got to be kidding me! But the rest of the day nothing. Just heavy bbs, cramps are gone and I'm still exhausted and cranky.

16dpo-I don't know why but I am terrified of the bfn so I still don't test but at this point I know I'm pg.

17dpo-still being crazy and not testing because today is April fools and I don't want the joke to be on me. I fall asleep tonight at like 7:30, sad really but I can't stay awake.

18dpo-BFP,BFP, BFP!!! I can't believe it even though I knew it deep down I was still shaking as I took the test. It showed up positive in seconds and I about passed out. My symptoms from this day til now are heavy tingling bbs, slight backache every once in awhile, exhaustion, mood swings, and creamy white cm that started two days before I tested.

Ok I hope that helps and I'll keep checking to see if there are any questions you all have. Good luck and Baby Dust to all of you!!!!

Congratulations, Brooke, and a helpful journal. Most authorities insist that signs of pregnancy cannot occur until implantation, no sooner than 5 dpo. Posts like yours suggest that something more is going on - maybe the follicle senses that conditions are right (sperm present) and it puts out an extra effort with hormones to help prepare the uterus. Women who swear they had all the signs and end up not pregnant may have experienced the same scenario with a less happy ending. Good luck!

Thanks and you're right most authorities do say you won't have signs until implantation and that is why I said keep in mind I was under qutie a bit of stress buying a house and starting insurance school and all. Now I normally have most of these symptoms as I mentioned and that is why I doubted that I was pg. But my point in posting this was so others could answer some of the questions they might possibly have, many I have also often thought about and wished someone would recap their 2ww. Every pg is different as we all know, my intent was only to help if I could. I really appreciate you commenting and congratulating me. I have read several of your posts and have often found them helpful as I am sure others did as well. Thanks again Grandpa Viv. Brooke

Thank you soooo much for this post...yes, it helps us in 2ww, where I sit and watch the clock (and wonder..."could it be?") tick tock tick tock.

Hey girls I just wanted to give a quick update. I am currently on cd 27/13dpo and my temp took a nose dive today from yesterday 98.39 to 97.94 and I know once my temp start going down then AF will be knocking. She should be here between 12-15. I am still having lower back pain, cramps off and on, creamy cm, bloated, real tired, constipation and now I'm irritated. I will keep you posted. Krissy68

I thought I was alone, I am TTC and I have been feeling funny since 1 dpo, I know it is not my mind because I actually feel it. I am healthy live a relaxed nice christian life and I believe the reason I was not concieveing was I have been off on O day. I believe God gave it o me this month because I DTD on the14 at midnight so the 15th and ovulated 7 hours later, evr since then I have not been feeling quite the same, I am already 5 dpo and between now and then I have felt strong cramping, really gassy, headache, no desire to work out which is way werid for me, and just can think about when it is time to take a nap. it is the 20th and af not due till the 1st
