Just curious, it's my first month temping/using opk's, so I'm not 100% certain of my luteal phase
How many days post implantation cramps did you get your BFP?
I had pinching/pulling twinges off and on the past 2 days, 7 DPO & 8 DPO, just wondering, if it was implantation cramps I was feeling (too early for AF), when could I expect a BFP?
thanks!

I've had implantation cramping with all of the pregnancies, and it has been the #1 sign for me. With my first LO, I had pinching/pulling at 8dpo but didn't test until 12dpo but it was def 
. with this LO (13 weeks now) I had pinching/pulling around 7/8dpo and had a super faint positive at 9dpo.

@NovBaby1112: thanks! I tested this morning (9DPO) and it was definitely negative. But with my first pregnancy (MC in Dec.) I didn't get a + HPT until after my missed period (wasn't temping though, so no idea on DPO)
my chart looks pretty good so far, just holding out hope

I had those pinching/pulling pains around 7-8 dpo with every month I ttc'd so for me they were not related to a bfp.

@buttermilk: I know that's definitely possible - totally cruel that any "symptom" could pertain to either BFP or AF!?! Hard to know until I am further along in TTC and can see a pattern (although hopefully I don't get too much farther!)

With my 1st I had implantation cramps. I don't temp, chart, or do any of that but they were about 3 days before my period was due. I remember thinking my period must be coming a little early because I got cramps earlier.

At 9dpo I had intense cramping, bloating, and a breakout. BFN at 10 dpo. Tested again at 12 dpo and BFP. It felt no different than AF. I actually cried at 9 dpo because I was sure it was AF and it was too soon.

@Hoots: thanks for the feedback! I don't have a good feeling because I got cramps again yesterday and today, but my temp is still up (12DPO)
I'm trying to hold off testing until Wednesday (14DPO)... I'd rather get AF than see a negative test
