Just got my bfp two days ago at 12dpo. I started testing at 8dpo with internet cheapies and at 10dpo with FRERs. Consistent BFNs on everything until 12dpo. Also minimal symptoms. Here is my story day by day!
O day: Cramping in general lower belly region, not limited to one side or the other. BD-ing felt crampy too, kind of uncomfortable.
1dpo: crampy and gassy
2dpo: randomly got the hiccups. I know it's prob unrelated but I never get the hiccups so it seemed worth mentioning.
3dpo: very irritable mood all day
4dpo: dry globby cm, kind of nasty. metal taste in mouth on and off, kind of like when you have a nosebleed, but I hadn't had a nosebleed.
5dpo: still abundant globs of white cm.
6dpo: nothing unusual
7dpo: nothing unusual
8dpo: feel like I'm coming down with a cold - scratchy throat. BFN on Clinical Guard cheapie.
9dpo: gastrointestinal issues - horrible gas and cramping. Maybe related to eating beans for lunch? Another BFN on clinical guard.
10dpo: no symptoms at all. BFN on clinical guard and FRER. pretty sure I'm out at this point.
11dpo: no symptoms at all. BFNs everywhere I look. BBT temperature dropped a bit and I'm def feeling out.
12dpo: BBT is up! I decide to take my last FRER and lo and behold a faint but undeniable BFP! Shortly after getting the BFP I began having a crampy/pulling feeling in my pelvis. Not really AF-like cramps - lower and more of a pulling feeling.
13dpo: FRER line darkening, pulling crampy feeling in lower pelvis continues. No other symptoms at all
14dpo: BFP on a digital and line continues to darken. Pelvis cramps continue...they are mild though.
The biggest symptom that I did NOT have at any point and still don't have is sore boobs.
