New here....hoping for a BFP

discodiva1213

So last night just for the heck of it I used one of my ovulation test strips and it showed two dark strips.  I am 17 DPO and AF is 3 days late.   I took a clear blue easy pregnancy test Sunday (15 DPO) i had sitting in my cabinet for who knows how long...and that was a BFN.  I have a really good feeling I'm pregnant...i know it's weird but I just feel different...it started about 8 DPO with these weird little pinching cramps, extreme thirst, and then with the extremely tender breasts, headaches, and fatigue.  My CM was also different before my AF was due and I was crampy and gushing clear CM during the time i would have had my AF.  On top of all this the bloating has been ridiculous and I swear I have IBS suddenly....I plan to take another test this Thursday if AF doesn't come, using a first response test...I'm still extremely fatigued and feel like I slept 3 hours instead of sleeping through the night.  The boob soreness seems to have subsided a little bit as of this morning which is great....either that or i'm just getting used to it....i have a good feeling I'm pregnant so hopefully i get a BFP this thursday....wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this.....or at least some positive juju to send my way...

If you are really 17dpo (meaning you temp/chart) then you should be able to turn a test, especially if you've been experiencing "symptoms" since 8dpo.

Just like TikiTurtle said - you should definitely be turning a test if you have these symptoms.

We TTC last month and I had all of your symptoms. I have a super regular cycles and never been late but was 3 days late. All BFN tests and all sorts of "symptoms". I had ovulated on my regular day (CD16). Anyways.. long story short I just started my period 3 days late for no apparent reason. All cycles are regular until they aren't. I just wouldn't get your hopes up so soon, that's all. I think the brain is very powerful and can make you feel things because you want to feel them, or even make your body do things (like delaying your cycle) when you are so focused on it. 

Fingers crossed you are pregnant though! Good luck!

I used the ovulation strips and got the dark double lines on the 7th and 8th of this month.  We had sex on the 7th and then again on the 9th using pre-seed on the 7th only.  My temp actually went up on the 8th (but it could have been because i woke up late and took it at a different time), and then went back down until the 12th when it went back up and has stayed up until the current day.  I started having headaches on the 13th and 14th and my temp spiked again going even higher on the 15th (98.20 to 98.40) it has stayed between 98.40 and 98.50 since then.  My luteal phases are normally around 14 days....

I have been temping through an app on my phone, if i can find a way to post it I will. I was taking primrose oil as well so i'm not sure if the EWCM i was experiencing was me, or from teh primrose oil.  I had it from the 7th through the 10th of this month.

Why would you wait until Thursday to take another test?

I wanted to give my AF more time...I just signed up for that fertility friend app and input all my charting and it says i should actually test tomorrow.....and i guess my luteal phase is actually on the short side...great app! i didnt know any of this stuff.
