Got a clear bfp this morning at 9dpo!! Had taken an IC last night at 8dpo and got such a faint line that I wasn't even sure it was there!!! Thought I'd share my symptoms as I know I loved reading these during my previous tww.

1- 4dpo - nothing out of the ordinary, except lots of creamy cm and no boob pain (always get boob pain after O right up until AF arrives), slight cramps but again that's normal for me.

5dpo - cm completely dried up! Nothing out of the ordinary again although I'm starting to wonder because I've had more 'symptoms' in the months I've had bfn! Later on in the evening just before im going to bed I got a sharp shooting pain in my lower abdomen slightly to the left, like I'd been stabbed with a knife, it nearly knocked me off my feet. That pain lasted all of 3 seconds then nothing!!

6dpo - boobs have gone a little tingly but that's it! No pain, no cramps, no cm, no nothing!

7dpo - today's the day I really started wondering, I could smell EVERYTHING, especially bad smells. Boobs started aching too. Cm still non existent.

8dpo - boobs really sore now, and smells are starting to really bother me! Decide to use an IC before I go to bed, I don't know why because I wasn't expecting anything to show up that early and it wasn't very concentrated as I'd been drinking coffee all day. The faintest bfp showed up after about 2 mins, so faint that I wasn't 100% sure it was there! Decide I'll test with fmu tomorrow.

9dpo - I do a test as soon as I wake up, set a timer for 3 mins and go and make a drink, timer goes off, I run upstairs to check and it's a clear as day BFP!!! So happy, this is our 6month ttc!

Good luck and hope everyone else gets their bfp's soon!! Xx

TTC #1 Cycle #5

I'm having a baby!!! Happy but still crying off and on and boyfriend is too. We are scared and shocked and happy.

BFP 8 dpo. My cycles are mostly 31 days. But once in awhile are 29 or 30 days.

My ovulation window was July 1-5.
We BD on July 1 and 3. Clear Blue ovulation test gave me a smiley face July 3rd.

At 4:00-4:30am on July 4th I felt what I thought was ovulation pain, but who knows.

I just knew our BD timing was right and there was a good chance this cycle.

DPO 1-2 nothing
DPO 3 Depersonalization for a few hours. Like conscious of myself as if looking at myself through someone else's eyes, but at peace. This is what it made me feel like I "knew".

DPO 4, Overwhelming sense of calm, peace, while at stressful work!

DPO 5, light hurt my eyes horribly

DPO 6, Headache. Intense lovey/cuddly feeling of happiness towards my boyfriend. I googled if this was a sign, but all I could find was that anger is a sign! So i brushed it off as not a sign.

Also on DPO 6 i had school glue CM, creamy CM, and EGCM all in the same day mixed with each other!
The EWCM was a dime size jelly bit and it was brown tinged.
Never had EWCM after ovulation and never this much CM in general days after ovulation.

DPO 7 My boobs were sore. Never in my life have my boobs hurt.
This made me 95% sure I was pregnant.

DPO 8. I tested, even though it seems so early. But I thought, if I'm already having physical symptoms like boob pain then that means it's already implanted.

Walmart 88cent test shows 2 lines at 8DPO FMU. I confirmed it with a FRER digital 1 hr later and got "YES +"

Look how dark the line is!! I should have tested earlier! My period isnt due til July 19th CD29, and today is July 12th!

DPO 8, right now sore boobs. Alot of soreness in my back and abdomen exactly like a period. Still creamy CM and EWCM. Thirsty, drinking 3x normal amount.

Hello everyone so yesterday I got my BFP. When we started this journey I really didn't know what to expect.
I never have had trouble
*conceiving
*never miscarriages
Always healthy pregnancies and deliveries 4 children. Here I am 11 years later and have somewhat of a new start in life, phenomenal children but new partner. He is younger and figured this is probably going to be my last child. My new husband has never had children or been married so it was really important for me to give it a good try.
They say at 40 your chances are conceiving are in about one years time. "O Man" I thought, well here we go. The second month after really trying we succeeded. I have never obsessed about looking for symptoms and as I have gotten older my body has changed before my period which really was tricking me. It was the most textbook signs this month that gave it away.Hopefully my journey below will help someone else as I was a bit lost myself.

I did not use OPK tests, and BBT in the mornings or ever, but just checked my cm daily, I found out that I was ovulating on day 17

Intimacy the night before ovulation day.
O DAY- Ovulation morning curled up in a ball cramping for about 3 min then I was fine
1-3 DPO- Elevated temp 99.6 dull and achy cramps felt ovaries distinctly when I sat down or bent over
3-5-DPO- Elevated temp 99.5 Cramps subsided but achy by armpits, under arms and sides of both breasts.
5-6 DPO- Elevated temp 99,6 Raised veins in Areola and blue veins going up along top of my breast to my armpit, starting to use the bathroom more, constipated three mornings in a row, horrible night terrors last night 3 times scared my husband and needless to say a very tired day the next day for both of us.
7 DPO- Temp 98.5 and crazy ache on my pelvic floor. Really weird faucet like runny nose.
Very sore Vagina internally, like the start of yeast infection but more severe, (not yeast by the way, just the feeling) and
achy pubic bone area
buzzing feeling through the entire front.
8 DPO- Temp at 99.6 again today and only breasts feeling fuller anytime to de-bra myself was taken
9 DPO- temp still up and my husband could not sleep curled up to me due to my temps up really high while I slept
10 DPO- temp is still up and have been exhausted last two evenings. At work in the afternoon caught myself at the edge of my desk (thank goodness no one was there) Started getting a lightening or pin prick feeling inside of my. Happened for about 1/2 hour then never felt it again. Can't keep up with hubby's night owl habits. Drank cranberry juice all day thinking the pain from the day before was a bladder infection.
11 DPO- temp is still hanging on at 99.6 and breasts do not feel like normal PMS symptoms, feel like they want to pop out the top of my bra and notice I didn't really feel regular menstrual cramps. Oh and CM was in abundance all the sudden!!! Yellow tinted and globby

So I decided today was the day to pull out the two First response tests I had (6 day early) used first morning urine and there was a faint second line. Totally in disbelief had no liquids and did it again and sure enough two pink lines.

So 11 DPO and BFP I told my husband and we both said "Well I guessed we proved science wrong and beat the odds of conceiving at an older age" We both teared up and hugged, for me it was so much more because I now knew I would give him one thing that he wanted in his life. Don't know if anyone relates but it's hard when you have kids from previously and your new spouse has never had children but desperately wants at least one of their own.

The biggest indicators:
Elevated temps
Veins on Areola (had with all my others)
Crazy jolts in cervical area
Pains in breasts on sides rather than front

DPO 12- Full breasts, nipples are SENSITIVE (no bra today, working from home ; ) ), lots of potty breaks, heartburn, hips felt a bit wobbly on walk. Walked for 1 1/2 hours today.

Pre- ovulation I did the following:

To ensure I had enough mucas I did some doses of Robitussin
Started pre-natals 6 weeks before hand
Took extra Folic acid
Drank 1/2 glass of milk each day
Drank a lot of water
Everyday had a yam for 7 days (you never know if the myth is correct for twins lol ) and at
my age the odds are up (will update if there are 2) : )

Good luck everyone at 40 all I have to say is:
"WE ARE NOT TOO OLD!!"

This will be long so if you just want symptoms DPO then scroll down to the bottom. I wrote this for my PCOS lady's because i want us all to cure are PCOS, and I have found out how. Cleared my skin, lessen excess hair, regulated periods, induced ovulation, and weight loss all without medication, or supplements.

I have PCOS, and I was not ovulating on my own. I did not want to take metformin and clomid. After a lot of research I found that pcos is caused by insulin resistance, which is in turn is caused by too much sugar, and carbohydrates in the diet. Which is why metformin helps women conceive by increasing insulin sensitivity, which allows your hormones to normalize.

On 12/05/15 I started the Ketogenic Diet. It is Low carb, high fat, moderate protein. Basically all you eat is Veggies, meat, and small amounts of dairy, and nuts. No sugar, no grains, no starchy, veggies, no fruit!

At the same time i tracked my calories on an app so as to not go over 2000 cals a day. So far i have lost 40lbs, but this was not my goal pregnacy was.

with in 2 weeks of starting this diet, i got my period for the first time in 6 months. I then had 3 consecutive 28 day cycles, but i do not believe i was ovulating because i had no fertile cm, negative opks, and light bleeding for my period.

In MAY 2016 i got my first positive OPKS, EWCM, ovulation pains, followed by heavy, crampy 6 day period. Yay!!! I'm ovulatating! bfn cycles, but progress :)

My cycles where i actually ovulated became longer 39 dayish cycles. I feel if I ate too many carbs, my ovulation would delay.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well this cycle, was a long one. I ovulated on the fourth of July Cycle day 26. positive opks, 8 days of ewcm, lots of right sided cramps the 3rd, and 4th.

1DPO: Sore Nipples, and fronts of breast, no side breast pain. Had this the whole TTW

2DPO: Sore breasts

3DPO: right ovary cramping, sore breasts

4DPO:sore breasts

5DPO: Exhausted, couldn't keep eyes open, napped 2 hours, sore breasts

7DPO: gas bubbles in tummy, Exhausted, couldn't keep eyes open, napped 2 hours, sore breasts

8DPO: more gas bubbles, but no gas, Exhausted, couldn't keep eyes open, napped 1 hour, sore breasts -BFN WONDFO

9DPO: diarrhea in morning,Tired, occasional light cramps, almost like I'm imagining them. like uterine contractions after an orgasm. sore breasts -BFN WONDFO

10DPO:diarrhea in morning, light cramps only when i standup. I would stand up, walk a few feet and would be hit with cramps in the center of my uterus, would last 5 seconds or so, and i would not cramp again until i sat, and then stood up again. Sore Breasts -BFN WONDFO

11DPO:diarrhea in morning, Same cramps but getting stronger and more uncomfortable. sore breasts -BFN WONDFO almost think i see something, but toss it.

12DPO: Same intense cramps. consitpation, tested with FMU saw a line so light, i thought it was an evap, i couldn't capture it in a picture. but it made my wonder. Tested on another WONDFO in afternoon on 4 hour hold very Faint BFP, but i see color! dip Frer in same urine Sample and a faint pink line there as well!!!
13DPO: same cramps, but random, not just when i stand. Boobs are not as sore. slight nausea. Positive Clear blue digital!!! 3 weeks 6 days pregnant!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I account my pregnancy 100% to the ketogenic diet, if i do not count my carbs, and my calories i do not ovulate. It took me 7 months from starting this diet to convenience after 5 years of nothing. If you have PCOS try it, you will see vast improvements. I pray this bean is a sticky one! Baby dust to all!!!

Hi lovelies,

I shared my bfp story prematurely last month in June at 12dpo right before I experienced a chemical pregnancy. Prior to that I never really knew what one was. Since it was a natural early miscarriage that started the day my period was due like a normal cycle we decided to try again the next month, this month, for our rainbow baby. So you know I had to come and share my symptoms and story to this lovely community that has helped me along each of my twwaits.

Now I am currently 4 weeks and 6 days along. I have already missed my period which was due the 16th of this month. Today is the 20th. I am still experiencing many of these symptoms. Especially the full and sore boobs, moodiness, and being tired.

I took a digital test after I got the faint positive before my missed period that said pregnant 1-2 weeks. Last week I took another digital test that came up pregnant 2-3 weeks. I am happy that my hcg levels are rising this time unlike last month. I plan to take another test tomorrow at 5 weeks to assure they are rising further, it should say 3+weeks. I will be seeing the doctor soon and scheduling an appointment at 8 weeks or so, whenever they can get me in.

I am happy but still have a hard time taking in the fact that I am actually pregnant. I have only told my fiance of course, two friends, and my mom. I do not plan on telling others until things are looking safe and secure. Although we never broke the news of the chemical pregnancy to our extended family who lives out of the state. Soo to avoid explaining a loss I plan on telling them my due date changed.

Hello ladies,

Currently in a state of shock here, I am 31 years old, have a 3 yr old daughter. Experienced a loss at 22 weeks before dd. I came off cerazette in February and cycles returned to 28 days (but only 12 day luteal phase) in April. This month I wasn't expecting anything as husband away and only got to bd once 3 or 4 days prior to ov!! I've been taking a prenatal multi vitamin daily for a few months, just a supermarket brand.

Here are the symptoms....

Cd1 28th June
cd11 bd late evening
cd15/16 ov cramps
cd18/3dpo mild sporadic cramps not unusual for me.
4dpo lots of creamy cm and so moody it's ridiculous! Increased urination.
5dpo as above but also feel like I might be getting thrush (start wondering if this is a genuine sign as only happens when pregnant) again giving myself whiplash with mood swings! Lol.
6dpo lots of creamy cm
7dpo mild cramps and creamy cm but also I notice literally the smallest pinky orange dots on the tissue when I wiped. Put it down to potential thrush.
8dpo creamy cm but nowhere near as much. Nausea in the evening. ..really hit me.
9dpo cm drying up, nausea first thing in the morning. Decide to test with Internet cheapie and got a faint bfp.... definitely not evap as there's a shade of pink to it.
10dpo (current day!) Use a clear blue digital 4 days before af is due and get "PREGNANT" result!

Early days but fingers crossed for a healthy sticky bean.

Good luck to you all and remember that you know your body and what is different for you personally when symptom spotting! Xx

So I got my BFP this morning 13dpo, I had the faintest line yesterday but so faint I wasn't even sure it was there. It's very obvious this morning and the only real symptoms I've had is loads of Thick white CM and bloating. This is second pregnancy and for both we have conceived in our first month of trying! I feel so incredibly lucky to not have to wait and I really feel for you ladies that it takes a while, keep going you can do it! Baby dust to everyone and here's to a healthy and happy 9 months xx

Hi there! I'm so excited to share my BFP story and hope it will help some of you in your tww.
I'm 33 yrs old and I got my first ever bfp yesterday at 13 dpo on just our second cycle of ttc.
It hasn't really sunk in yet particularly for my DP as he was willing to ttc thinking it would take a bit longer I think!
For the last few years my once very regular 28 day cycle has been anywhere between 25-33 days.
This month we BD on CD 13, 15 and 17.
I think I O'd on CD 15 based on cycle averages, so my dpo are estimated.

Only real obvious symptom was sore breasts. Normally they get sore anywhere from a week up to a few days before AF but this started earlier and was far more painful. (And for me a lot of bb pain is pretty normal until AF but this was definitely even more so)
Nothing more for the first week, until I had a very vivid dream around 9 dpo.
Also by 9 dpo I realized that my sex drive was elevated to a noticeable degree. This normally happens around O then goes away but this month it stayed that way.
10 dpo tiredness begins, as does a feeling of muscle fatigue.
Legs are muscles feel sore in particular.
11-13 dpo still tired in the afternoons but insomnia in wee hours each night.
12 dpo AF like cramping
13 dpo Instant bfp with fmu, instant bfp with evening diluted urine.

All of my symptoms were mild enough to allow me to think they were pms or in my head until yesterday when obvious nausea kicked in. Glad I knew why! I did notice that my usual PMS acne did not show, but I had no obvious change in cm or sense of smell or anything.

I hope this helps some of you during your tww!

So today at 10dpo I got my BFP!!! So excited to be having another baby! First time round it took us 10 months to conceive. As soon as I used preseed we fell straight away so this time round I knew I would be using it again. We fell on the first cycle!! Needless to say, in my opinion, preseed works wonders!

I have had more symptoms on other cycles where I hadn't conceived. I thought for sure I was out this month because I was DRY DRY DRY after O and this is quite normal. We BD the day before +opk, day of and two days following. Here is what I recorded:

1dpo: nothing- some lightening pains in breasts.
2dpo: CP high and firm
3dpo: nausea and feeling of being hungover, could be from pizza night before though as rarely have takeout. Cold sore coming on.
4dpo: bubbly gas pains in tummy
5dpo: very emotional and moody. No cramps, no cm, no breast pain. Starving!! Ate like a horse for dinner and full ferning on the Maybe Baby. Weird but have heard this can happen.
6dpo: cp high and soft and feels quite open which is so strange for me..usually hard and closed by now. Backache, congested, +appetite, +sex drive (very unusual for this time of month!). More energy though and not tired at all.
7dpo: bright red spotting (convinced this is implantation) nausea in am, tender breasts, bloating, + appetite, +sex drive, cp still high, very scant amount of creamy cm!
8dpo: low dull backache which goes through to the front, more energy, cervix high and soft, DRY DRY DRY!!
9dpo: cervix high soft open still. No cm. Sure I'm out. Still backaches but cp makes me wonder....
10dpo: slight increase in cm, backaches, pinching cramps, cp high wet soft...decide to test even though had promised myself not to as didn't want disappointment! BFP in the afternoon!!

So elated and happy to share!! Good luck in the TWW and if you haven't already, I highly recommend giving preseed a go!

Holy crap! NEVER in a million years would I have thought I would conceive my 1st month actually trying. We have talked about having a baby last month so we pretty much were trying without actually trying. This month we decided we were actually going to try. I got my period July 1st the day before my birthday and ovulated on the 22nd of July. Keep in mind we work at opposite time of the day so we only had time to bd 5 times that month. we did it on the ( 6th, 12th, 16th, 21st, and 22nd) here were my symptoms leading up to the BFP

1dpo: nothing
2dpo: sticky cm
3dpo: very fatigued, heavy cough
4dpo: very fatigued, light acne, light nausea, light upper backache, stuffy nose, heavy cough
5dpo: light nausea, light cramps, heavy cough
6dpo: sharp pain under belly button (implantation??) nausea, heavy cough
7dpo: light sore throat, medium cough, medium upper backache
8dpo: nothing
9dpo: light fatigue, light cramps. (tested ebay cheapie, FAINT LINE)

Today im 12dpo and I used a first response and a VERY DARK BFP!!!

so I have extremely irregular periods I get about 2 a year so for my irregular ladies my advice to you is to NEVER lose hope!! Also PRAY I prayed every night for someone else then I pray for this this to be the month! praying never fails <3

always I was a twin anyone thing its likely I have twins?? just curious?

I hope my story can benefit you just like how I benefited from some of the mum to b here :) I'm really thankful to come across this website and learnt many things - kudos to the team

I had always thought conception is a super easy process and I always get my period on time even during stressful periods so I thought it should be no issue. I even started off WITHOUT any positive changes to my diet except some folic acid. However after 4 months which I read was an average conception time for those in early 30s ,I still do not see the results and started to worry and consulted a gynae who found no issue with me and deduce I could probably be showing some mild sign of insulin resistance (which develops into pcos) and advised me to cut down on sugar drastically. If I still do not see results I can consider hsg test to see if my tubes r blocked. Being on the cautious side I started to undergo this strict diet (refer below) for 1 to 2 months and oso cut off cold and icy drinks (tcm guide) and on the month I took my hsg test I got pregnant ( sorry I can't assume this helped but I think it might have cleared something in my tube) :) so all in all it took me 6 months and through this process I started to really detest sweet stuff which I have been researching on and it is really harmful to women's fertility , hormones and youth so all ladies please take note!! Its hard to cut down at first esp for sweet tooth like me but the body does get use to it after a while and I stopped craving for sweet stuff ever since.

The 1 to 2 month diet and supplement:
I increased my massage sessions to help me relax more too

Royal jelly
Evening primrose during ovulation phase and flax oil in luteal phase
Prenatal suppl
Lots of dark fruits filled with antioxident
Healthy nuts like walnuts
Vegetable powder - really hate veg but still try to boil some broccoli at times
Almond milk and no low fat stuff
Stay clear of sugar
Warm feet with socks at night in bed during luteal plase which I heard can keep the womb warm
No cold or ice drinks and just warm drinks

Symptoms

7 dpo No symptoms except occasional twinges at lower abdominal area
8 to 9dpo keeping my mind occupied about other stuff rather than conceiving :) not much symptoms btw
10 dpo Sudden diarrhea. Drank room temperature milk n ate spicy pasta

11dpo July right left center mild twinge.
Flu n feverish

11doo night very light bleeding. On and off twinges. Backache to pelvic ache when waking up . high basal mid day 37.17 continues to bed time. Pelvic ache stopped. Got my first faint positive

14dpo A positive with clear blue digital. :) feel feverish which I guess due to lower immunity

So never give up!! Baby dust and stay healthy ! :)

GOT MY BFP!!!!!!! after seven years by the grace of God I'm super overjoyed pray this little Lamb sticks and I have a healthy pregnancy

This was our first cycle TTC our first baby & boy did we get lucky! I have to say first and foremost that we could not feel anymore blessed than we do right now.

I started using opk's and got my positive on CD12, so I marked ovulation on CD13! We ended up having sex four times in total around this time, making sure we missed a day in the middle to replenishes the swimmers! As this was our first time, I can't say I did anything out of the ordinary! One thing I did do was start myself on Seven Seas - trying to conceive vitamins about a month before we actually conceived!

The weirdest thing to me is that I felt like I knew from the minute we had finished having sex that we had conceived.. That we had did it? Very strange!!!

1dpo - tender breasts and dizziness seemed to be my only symptoms
2dpo - cramping, i can remember having to use a hot water bottle to ease the pain, breaths still tender and a little gassy
3dpo - more right ovary pain, I'm pretty sure I ovulated from the right ovary and still gassier than usual, a lot of creamy/watery CM, this is something I noticed from day 1
4dpo - niggles on right side, bloating, tender breasts, I also wrote down on my symptoms that "I had a feeling I was pregnant" CRAZY!!
5dpo - this point I was having the craziest dreams, super vivid and really weird concepts, still crampy, really really tired, gassy and also feeling a little sick
6dpo- still crampy, vivid dreams again, tender breasts although nipple sensitivity was more obvious, lots of watery and creamy CM
7dpo - backache, cramps, sensitive nipples, feeling nauseous, dizziness, I hadn't monitored my temp thoughout my cycle and I did it this day out of curiosity and it ended up being 37.3 degrees Celsius or 99.14 Fahrenheit - which is around the temp you'd have if you were pregnant
8dpo - still got cramps, spots on chin (hormonal) CM was still really watery and creamy and I had also checked my cervix position and it was SUPER high and closed, temperature stayed the same
9dpo - nipples still sensitive, constipated, we did have sex this day and I bled a little bit (could have encouraged implantation bleeding) that night when i went to bed I had 2 dreams that I was taking pregnancy tests and they were positive...
10dpo - took test on a FRER and it was REALLY REALLY visible!!!!! Absolutely amazed and shocked and happy, we couldn't believe it!!!

11dpo - now: had implantation bleeding 12dpo, cramps and right side twinges, very tired, however all in all just so happy I get to grow my baby!!! Took about 1 million pregnancy tests just to be sure :D

I am currently now 4weeks and 6 days!

Hello All beautiful ladies, so finally after 6-7 months of trying, I got my bfp on 11 dpo (very faint line on internet cheapie) and then a very dark line on first response on 14 dpo and a clear 'Pregnant' on digital on 15 dpo. I did not do anything different this month. It was supposed to happen now I think. I did go to the doctor on 13 dpo to get the confirmation but they could not find a line and sent me for blood work which of course was Positive. So am now 4 weeks 2 days Preggo.
My symptoms? NONE...yes you read it right, NONE at all. I just checked on 11 dpo onwards as we have been ttcing for 6 months and I wanted to know. That's all. Even now, I do not have any symptoms except for the positive HPT and the missed period. This is my second pregnancy, have a 3 yr old girl. And first time around also, I did not have any symptoms before 6 weeks mark. It started hitting as soon as I hit the 6 week mark. So may be the same is repeating now. So yeah, NO SYMPTOM is not bad at all. No sore boobs, no sickness, no cm, I MEAN NOTHIGN AT ALL. We re very excited.
ALL THE BEST FO ALL THE TTCING PARENTS OUT THERE. BABY DUST TO ALL OF YOU.
I AM 35 and DH is 34 and have a 3 yr old girl :) :)

I wanted to post because I feel like I saw very few posts by breastfeeding women. Today is 15 DPO and I took my first test. My DS is 14 months old. My cycle returned around 7 months pp, and became regular around 11 months pp. DS nurses 1-2 times per day (morning and night).

BD'd CD9, CD10 and CD12. O was likely CD13. I don't temp - just track CM.

O - CM was lesser than previous days. Feeling pretty normal.
1DPO to 6DPO: no real symptoms. DS had hand-foot-and-mouth and a cold. I caught his cold.
7DPO-9DPO: shedding uterine lining? Or particles in urine? Not sure what's going on here
9DPO-10DPO: feeling more aroused
10DPO - present: feeling pregnant - uterus feels like something is there - just a general awareness; nursing makes me feel sleepier than normal
11DPO - present: smelly urine (but less pungent than beginning of 1st pregnancy), slight increase in CM (dry throughout entire 1st pregnancy), very slight breast tingles. May not have even noticed them if I weren't TTC and hyper-focused on symptoms
13DPO - present: slightly more tired, but only very slightly; peeing lots (and I already pee a ton)

15DPO: strong BFP on FRER at 8pm. I don't test until I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant - I fear BFNs!

Nothing especially telling or exciting, except for my smelly urine. But strong positive, and just had a feeling that I was pregnant. Many nursing moms seem to report fewer symptoms while breastfeeding in very early pregnancy than they experienced in early pregnancy with their first.

Best of luck to all of you out there TTC while nursing! Hoping my bean sticks!

Hi ladies, I can't believe I am finally able to tell this story! DH (34) and I (32) have been ttc for 2 years and I just got my first BFP!! I really think it was all due to soft cups and Geritol which were the only things we tried differently the last cycle. I temped everyday and about 4 days before AF was due I had a major drop in temp so I started to count us out this cycle. I stopped temping that day and just went about the rest of the week like AF was coming. I had a little bit of brown spotting 2 days before AF was due which was normal for me. Fast forward to 18DPO and still no AF, but I've had 2 previous cycles ( a year apart) where she was over a week late, so I was still counting us out. I had none of the "normal" pregnancy symptoms, no sore boobs, sense of smell was the same, no weird dreams, no extra creamy cm. The spotting stopped but I still didn't think about testing. I already had a pre-conception/fertility appt scheduled with my dr the next day so I figured she would tell me it was just one of those cycles again. Typical appt, pee in a cup, but this time when they did a PT it came back positive!!! Did a HCG test as well and it was positive!! I was in shock!! The next morning, (bc I peed on so many sticks I wanted to finally see that BFP myself) I took a HPT and there it was! PREGNANT!

I hope my story gives someone ttc a little bit of hope to not count yourself out! There were so many times I symptom watched or came on here and tried to compare symptoms and when I finally got my BFP there wasn't one symptom there for me to notice! Everyone is different! Baby dust to all!!

I am sharing my story with you all, as this board helped me stay sane during my two week waits, and nothing in the world makes me crazier than a two week wait after a miscarriage....talk about scrutinize every little thing!

I have two children, ages 8 and 4. I conceived identical twins in December and lost them in Feb. At 10 weeks. I conceived again in April and lost the baby at 8 weeks. I had D&C's with both losses.

As the karyotype on the last baby came back completely normal, We saw a fertility specialist to rule out any cause that may be preventable. All testing returned normal, except for a MTHFR mutation, which my doctor does not believe is significant; however, I believe it could be significant as both of my daughter's have lip ties and one has a sacral dimple, both of which can be seen with the MTHFR mutation. While I cant prove its what happened in my case, it certainly doesn't hurt to take precautions. I switched my prenatal vitamins to Best Nest Wellness, which contain methylated folate, B6, and B12. I also started taking royal jelly for egg health, as well as baby aspirin, as it may help women with recurrent miscarriage conceive and carry to term.

I used the CB Advanced digital ovulation test last month, which gave me two flashing smileys on cycle days 8 and 9, with a solid smiley on CD 10. I thought it was odd as I usually ovulate around CD 15 or 16, but what do I know, as its the first cycle after my last miscarriage? We BD according to the ovulation test; however, I never had EWCM until CD 14 and 15. We did BD more at that point, but I believe that we missed our window.

I used the regular clear blue digital to conceive my last baby, and it truly was accurate, which I do not believe the clear blue advanced to be.

This month, I decided to start using the CB digital advanced ovulation test initially, but would continue testing with CN digital ovulation test (not advanced) afterwards, as the advanced version locks until your next cycle after shoeing the solid smiley face.

CD 1-6 AF, then spotted until CD 10. This is,my second cycle after my second miscarriage.

CD 9 BD, CB Advanced negative
CD 10 BD, CB Advanced negative, 97.1
CD 11 BD, CB Advanced positive solid smiley (slipped flashing smiley altogether), but no EWCM or other O symptoms, 97.0
CD 12 BD, CB digital (not advanced) negative, 97.0
CD 13 BD, CB digital negative, left sided cramps
CD 14 BD, CB digital positive, EWCM, left sided cramps, 96.8
CD 15 BD CB digital negative, but line on test cartridge is darker than yesterday when it was positive, EWCM, L>R cramping, 97.0
CD 16/1 DPO BD bilateral cramps, no OPK as I ran out of strips and figured I had my bases covered by BD every day, 97.1
CD 17/2 DPO 97.3
CD 18/3 DPO BD, light cramps, 97.3
CD 19/4 DPO dull pain around cervix, light cramps. 97.6
CD 20/5 DPO dull pain around cervix, hungry upon waking, vivid dreams, palpitations (I have supraventricular tachycardia, whichbis usually controlled), 97.8
CD 21/6 DPO lightheaded, bilateral pinching cramps, hot flashes after drinking tea and eating salsa, dizzy upon standing, lower and feel like pulled muscles
CD 22/7 DPO dizzy upon standing, hungry, slight ache under arms, breast tenderness, hot flashes, 97.6
CD 23/8 DPO dizzy upon standing, hungry, breast tenderness front and sides, feel wet, burninh pain beneath navel to right, 97.9
CD 24/9 DPO pinching groin pain when standing, breast tenderness, breast warmth and tingling when bending over, breast swelling, slight pinching cramps, which radiate to knees, 97.9. I think AF is coming early, that I must have a literal phase defect, and become really depressed for the rest of the day. I took a CB digital pregnancy test with weeks indicator to ensure that I was out and that AD was on her way.
CD 25/ 10 DPO pinching, burning cramps radiating to knees, hungry, lightheaded, 98.1
CD 26/ 11 DPO slight pinching pain in groin when standing, hungry dizzy after bending over, white, thin, watery cm, temp 98.0. While I thought that I was out, i took another pregnancy test since my temp went triphasic and saw 1-2 weeks BFP!!!!!
CD 27/ 12 DPO hot and hungry

When I ovulated in this cycle is questionable, and when I implanted is questionable. Any cycle that ive conceived, we BD nearly every day for 2 weeks. It seems to do the trick for us. My advice is to not completely trust digital OPKs.

I feel very differently about this pregnancy. With the twins, I never felt like anyone was there-no connection. With my last baby, I believed she was a girl (which she was), but not that id ever meet her.

I believe with all my heart that our rainbow baby is officially in transit and there's no stopping us now.

For anyone out there who is TTC after miscarriage, I found it most helpful to believe that biologically, something just didnt work out for whatever reason. Even with recurrent losses, the odds are in our favor. Good luck to you all!

Hello,

I am in shock and disbelief still. July 24 was actually my bleed after getting a very, very, very faint positive bfp a couple days earlier. This faint test appeared at 13 dpo and was negative the next day. My doctor confirmed that my hcg was back to zero and this bleeding ended. So my husband and I decided to try again after careful thought. We did not BD often in August as our work schedules conflicted. We BD on CD 10, CD12, CD14, and CD15. My opk was positive on CD15 and Fertility Friend confirmed my ovulation for CD17.

Symptoms:

2DPO: anxiety, fatigue, emotional, increased sex drive
3DPO: creamy cm, hot, fatigue, sore boobs
4DPO: scant cm, boobs achy in the center, faint burning on sides of boobs, increased sex drive
5DPO: sore boobs, fatigue, increased sex drive
6DPO: increased sex drive, creamy cm
7DPO: no cm at all (very dry), cp high, increased sex drive
8DPO: no cm, CP way high (I can't reach it), fatigue, dizzy, increased sex drive, faint positive Wondfo test today
9DPO: no cm, all symptoms GONE, Clear Blue Digital Weeks Estimator "Pregnant 1-2", sharp twinges in pelvic area lower left, sex drive WAY UP!!! Sharp cramp at night and heavy uterus feeling, Beta HCG at 35
10DPO: little creamy cm, heavy uterus like AF is on heavy but it is not on, faint nausea, burning cramps on lower left pelvic area, increased sex drive, no appetite, Wondfo test way darker and Pregnent result on digital CB.
11DPO: faint brown spotting at night when I wipe, CBWE jumped to "Pregnant 2-3", incredibly horny, fatigue, no appetite
12DPO: no cm, heavy uterus, light brown spotting not on underwear, increased sex drive, no appetite
13DPO: HCG beta at 240, light brown spotting, heavy uterus feeling gone, cramps on lower right pelvic region strong, lost 4 pounds since 8DPO:(, increased sex drive
14DPO: backache and anxiety, but appetite is back somewhat
15DPO: no symptoms but winded easily

So I have continued to POAS because of my chemical last month. Last month, I only had one faint BFP. This cycle, I have had BFP's everyday 8DPO. I have never been more horny in my life and I never had such a dry luteal phase before. I am usually creamy cm from ovulation through to AF.

5. My CM Dried Up for 2days Then became creamy again (Usually its creamy from O to AF).

7. I had Mild Ovulation/AF Pain at 6dpo & Dull twinges/vibration feeling in Around Cervix for a few days.
8. My areolas never got tan or bigger before.

Im still in Disbelief Looking at the Test every two Secs. Thinking "No way it has to be WRONG No way I could be Pregnant "Im Hoping & Praying this Bean Sticks. Im sooo happy, but cautiously optimistic because its Very Early. :)

My Advice : I got 3 Positive OPKs & 1 Negative HPT between 10DPO-11DPO. Having 3 Positive OPKs+ over 2 different days I thought I had a 2nd LH Surge or PCOS which I read online could happen with irregular cycles, but something told me I might be pregnant. I researched my life away and almost every site said OPK wouldnt pick HCG before HPT would . Well my intuition told to test again I got a + 2 days later (13 DPO) BFP. So dont believe everything that the internet says Every woman is Unique their Preg Symptoms will be Unique.

3. Breasts Grew A Cup Size ( A to B ) & More Blue Veins on Breasts.

4. I went back & forth Between Diarrhea & Constipation

5. Tanner Areolas & They Grew Slightly Bigger

6. Had Cramps & Cervix Vibrations (Twinges)

7. I had Way more symptoms in BFN-Cycles

8. Queaziness/Nausea (Didnt Puke), but it woke me from my sleep.

- Every woman is Unique so symptoms Vary & Symptoms are Unique as well. I "Googled" my life away thinking I had PCOS & A 2nd LH Surge because i had Multiple Positive OPK's & a Negative HPT. I trusted my intuition and found I was right. So if you test early and think a negative HPT is not correct make sure to keep taking tests until AF shows up . Your Not out until the "Wicked Witch Sings".

Im still in Disbeilef I didnt think it was possible for me to get Pregnant after Having No AF for (4) years because I was underweight. Finally 5 Months ago I started getting AF & I had skipped one cycle . Also I had irregular cycles . Anything is possible. :)
