    Before yougot your BFP, assuming it was near your AF due date, how did you feel physically? Normal? As though you may get your period? New symptoms?

    I was TIRED.  And I usually get tired around AF but I was even more tired.  I felt like I constantly had a hangover.  I also had some cramping but for some reason I could just tell they were different.  I'd had times before when I thought I was pregnant but the time i actually was, it was different.  I just knew AF wasn't coming because of the extreme fatigue mostly.

    I felt normal.  No real symptoms of either pregnancy or AF.  After 18 months of trying, it was actually the month I had the least "symptoms" that I got the BFP!

    I got my BFP a day or two after AF was due. I had mild cramps that never turned into real period cramps, peed every five minutes and was so tired it was unreal. Nothing like normal premenstrual fatigue. I felt like I was drinking nyquil all day haha.

    The only thing I really noticed was odd cramping starting like 5 days prior rather than my usual cramping that started 1 day prior to AF.  And a little bit of soreness in my breasts.

    I felt fine. I was actually convinced that I was NOT pregnant, and I b!tched about it the entire day before to DH. I had also been sick right around our prime fertile days, so I thought our chances were shot from the get-go. Then surprise, BFP!

    The month before my BFP, I was so sure I was pregnant, I had headaches and just thought I "felt" like I was pregnant.

    I thought it was so funny the month I was sure I was, negative. The month I was sure I wasn't, positive.

    I had sore boobs and some random cramps, otherwise I didn't feel any different.

    Really, really tired, super-bitchy, and a really enhanced sense of smell. The last one was the only real symptom I had that was different from AF symptoms.

    My boobs started feeling sore about 4 days before I got my BFP. I also had some waves of nausea but they were pretty mild and didn't last long, especially compared to what I've had since then! Most pregnancy symptoms though are also AF symptoms so I was trying not to get my hopes up too much!

    Only symptom out of the ordinary was some funky food aversions starting the day before my BFP.  Certain foods just tasted off, and others made me full on gag.

    i felt 'normal' it literally felt like i was about to start AF. i tested at 1 day late and was really surprised it was a BFP due to the fact that i had felt like i did every other month AF was about to arrive.
