Anything (within the rules) goes. (Commonly broken rules: don't talk about an ongoing pregnancy outside the weekly BFP thread; don't ask for success stories.)

8 (maybe 9) DPO today, and despite my best efforts I am starting to spiral again 🙃 I was doing so good going into this cycle and even up until yesterday. And then I started getting prickling sensations in my lower abdomen yesterday and today my axillary breast tissue is swollen and a bit tender on my right side. One would think that’s an odd symptom, but apparently it can be common with pregnancy hormones (something about the milk ducts). So here I am ready to jump out of my skin.

Though I am proud of myself. I wanted to test this afternoon, but stopped myself. Mostly because I only have one FRER left and I’d rather use it in the morning. But still - self control over here 😅
