Those of you who got BFP's.. what were your symptoms like before you actually tested?
I'm 6 DPO right now and I'm curious to see what others felt like leading up to when you can actually see a BFP

I felt nothing. The months I wasn't pregnant, I had more "symptoms", seriously. I had twinges about 7 DPO that lasted only maybe a minute and were pretty noticeable, but that's it. My OB said I would have sore boobs and that would probably be my first symptom, I never once throughout my entire pregnancy had sore boobs. My first symptom came at 6-7 weeks and that was morning sickness. I tested at 13 DPO thinking I would get a BFN but it was the darkest line ever and I took a bunch more tests because I felt no different. LO is almost 5 months Good luck!!

agree with @bao! I just had a gut feeling that month!

All I can remember is sore boobs and nipples and feeling bloated. More so then I had in the previous months. I had one little tiny brown spot on 9DPO, that I guess was implantation spotting, well spot. The biggest clue was that I didn't spot the one or two days before my period was due, like I had the 2 months before. I went right off BC to TTC.

I had a super stuffy nose (like couldn't breathe) and light cramps! The stuffy nose started at like 5 or 6 dpo and the cramps started a couple days later.

The utter exhaustion was my signal. I got my BFP at 12dpo.
Good luck!

I felt period cramps for five days before I tested. Each day I was sure I was going to start my period because I felt so crampy...but I never did!

My lower abdomen was making "funny noises", like it was popping popcorn. That was the only different symptom from when AF was impending.

Really no symptoms at all! I had just the mildest cramps and boob soreness, but nothing out of the ordinary. Symptoms still haven't kicked in for me

I had incredibly painful cramps that woke me up at night at maybe 10 days or so.

I had weird AF-like cramping almost the whole time, starting at maybe 4dpo. Then I had brown CM which I think was implantation spotting around 7dpo and my BFP at 9dpo.
This thread was my bible for all my TWWs:

Nothing, actually. I didn't have any DPO symptoms! I thought I might get a BFP because I had ovulation pain, but when I tested, it was just a *hunch,* and I was right!

Here is what I posted to the thread @JoJoGirl: linked to:
6DPO- boobs were super sore
7DPO- light cramping in the evening. Felt like mild menstrual cramps, but lower.
8DPO- more cramping. Headache (but could have been unrelated)
9DPO- boobs hurt, feel 'weird', BFN.
10DPO- my notes say "felt weird. Not nausea, just weird'? BFN.
11DPO- very, very, very faint positive test. Didn't trust it.
12DPO- BFP! Also, horrible migraine. I got menstrual migraines when I went off the pill, so I guess hormones play a big part in my migraines.
So, the only thing really different from a normal cycle was the cramping. My boobs always got sore after O so I wasn't sure if I should count that, but the implantation cramping was definitely new. Good luck.

My two symptoms prior to BFP were sore boobs (started earlier in my cycle than it normally does for PMS) and feeling super super bloated.

My only symptom was implantation bleeding. I felt exactly the same otherwise. I had a feeling/intuition though! Good luck!

@MrsTiz: I have two different answers for you ... 2 months ago, I had my first BFP (ended in CP), and this month, it was regular ol' AF. I have a 33 day cycle.
BFP:
7 dpo - Very sore nipples. My breasts felt heavy & itchy. I am very small chested normally, so it was something I noticed right away.
8-9 dpo - My nipples were noticeably larger & so were my breasts. I remember feeling really warm & tired.
10 dpo - POAS, BFN. I was starting to feel a bit of nausea, and I was really sensitive to smells.
11 - 13 dpo - Really crampy. I thought AF was coming. My breasts were even more tender.
14 dpo - No AF, so I decided to POAS again, and got the BFP.
16 dpo - Found out about the CP ... my breasts were immediately back to normal (no soreness) ...
AF (seriously thought I was going to get a BFP):
6 dpo - nausea
7 dpo - nausea even worse
8-9 - nothing
10 dpo - mild cramps & I felt really hot
12-13 - mild cramps & tender breasts.
14 dpo - nothing
15 dpo - AF
Wishing you so much luck!!! I'm excited to get pregnant again (this time with a sticky baby) to see how the symptoms show themselves. I think symtom spotting is totally normal, and honestly, it's a little bit fun. Enjoy the rest of the TWW, and I am sending lots of baby dust!!

@VEGMAMA: How strange that they were worse for your BFN! Hm. I'm feeling dull cramps as well as a headache. My nose is a little stuffy, annnd I'm not having trouble going to the bathroom where I am usually constipated. Fingers crossed for us both!

@MrsTiz: Who knows. The body is crazy! One symptom I forgot to mention (but posted about it on here, then) was a sore throat around O. So ... maybe 4-6 days after. I thought I was getting sick, but it only lasted a couple of days, and otherwise, I felt just fine.

@VEGMAMA: I had a sore throat too, I even told my boss I thought I was getting sick lol!
@Bao: Yep! Unfortunatley. It's been 9 months now & thanks!
