Now that it has begun to set in that I am really finally pregnant, I wanted to share my experience.
I am 30 and my OH is 38. We have been TTc for a year officially (14 months or so unofficially). We have no known hinderances. My cycle is between 28-30 days with spotting when doing a C.M. check a couple days before.
I ovulated around Feb 27, checking C.M. and 3 different apps that finally synced up after 10 or so cycles. We bd’ 2 days before and the day after. This cycle he upped his vitamin intake and make fertility from GNC (I thought he might od on them).
1-4 dpo I ate fresh pineapple. This first day o screwed up and ate 95% of the core only to read right after I finished I was supposed to eat the core with every piece the following days.
5/6 dpo nothing
7 dpo I had rumbling in my stomach and low pressure like under my pants line.
8 dpo I woke up with what I thought was allergies. In my mind I wanted to think I was sick with a cold but didn’t want to get my hopes up.
9-11dpo continued cold symptoms sneezing , runny nose, and just exhausted. Boobies started to become sore.
11dpo-14dpo I had a cough and still do but I couldn’t stop pooping (sorry but holy heck it was ridiculous). I had super mild cramping sensations and just stared at the tp the whole time waiting for af to show.
17 dpo St. Patrick’s Day I manned up and took a test. I was so tired of seeing Bfn’s. Almost instantly two pink lines!
I must say I am glad I waited to test as I had mildly prepared for it to be positive and at the same time being realistic I could just be 3 days late.
