Trying to figure out the 6 dpo symptoms leading to bfp? Look no further because I’m going over exactly what I experienced on 6dpo that ultimately lead to my positive pregnancy test!

I basically spend every single day of my TWW searching every corner of the internet for 6 dpo symptoms leading to bfp. I know 6dpo is still on the very early side, but it’s not SO early that anyone can say without a doubt that any symptoms being experienced are NOT pregnancy related. Earlier on in the TWW, maybe. But 6 dpo is where things could start to get real!
This post is all about my 6 dpo symptoms leading to BFP!
If you watch the video, you’ll see that I say there were not a whole lot of symptoms going on. However, I did have two that very clearly ended up being pregnancy related!
Number One: Cramping
This started the night before, so 5 dpo. I felt some very very minor cramping on my right side. I felt a little bit of lower back pain along with it, but that didn’t really last long.
The cramping continued onto 6 dpo, and I felt it most of the day. Super super minor, and if I had a busier day I might not have noticed it at all. I, of course, was on high alert for any kind of pregnancy related symptom, so I definitely noticed it. This lasted until 7 dpo.
Looking back, I now know that this was implantation cramping, and it was my sweet little embryo baby sticking! I didn’t have any implantation bleeding along with it, just these minor cramps on the one side.
(feeling emotional writing this because I just gave birth a few weeks ago and can remember feeling those cramps and now my angel boy is here 😭❤️)

Number Two: More Noticeable Veins
This was another one I wasn’t totally sure about when it was happening, but now looking back I know it was an early pregnancy symptom.
I started to notice more veins around my lower stomach and upper thighs, essentially leading to my uterus.
I suppose I don’t know absolutely for sure, since who truly pays that close attention to veins like that, but I am 99% sure this was one of the two 6 dpo symptoms leading to bfp. Especially because the veins only got more noticeable as the days and weeks went on!
Of course it goes without saying you could have these symptoms and it could mean nothing. But for me, it was a nice distraction to read what other women experienced during their two week wait, it was nice to know I wasn’t the only crazy one symptom spotting, and I didn’t mind getting my hopes up.
Like I’ve said before, I don’t want to create false hope, so be careful what you read! But these were all of my 6 dpo symptoms leading to bfp.
