Hello!
My DH and I have been TTC for 5 cycles. I went off BC (again, 5 cycles ago) and didn't have a positive ovulation test until 3.29 + 3.30. My cycles after being off BC were only about 20 days long with a short luteal phase; started taking Vitex and it extended to 26 days after 2 months of the supplement.
I actually felt more preggo with cycles that didn't end in pregnancy, so don't psyche yourself out if you aren't seeing symptoms! DTD for 7 of 9 days around my fertile window, 5 of which being leading up to O and on day of O.
Here were the symptoms:
O -- mild cramping
1-4 DPO -- nothing
5-6 DPO -- heightened sense of smell (garlic in an elevator, tires/rubber smell in parking lot); oily skin (very unusual for me); backache
6-7 DPO -- hot flashes; backache; mild cramping
7-8 DPO -- headache ALL day; fatigue; felt like I was getting sick
8-9 DPO -- R sided pelvic pain; backache; heart palpitations; faint BFP x2!
I've had creamy, thicker than usual cervical mucous since day after O. My temp dropped the day before ovulation and has stayed mildly elevated (mid-98s instead of mid-97s like usual).
Used TTC lubricant, took Vitex, prenatals, stayed laying down for 20 min after each DTD.
Praying for a sticky bean! Will try to upload the faint positive tests :)
