Hello ladies! This is my second time posting on this site. My last post was on 12/25/12 when we found out we were expecting. Sadly, that pregnancy ended up in a miscarriage at 5 weeks but I didn’t naturally miscarry until 12 weeks. It was the most painful experience no one should ever go through! This is my second cycle after the miscarriage and now we just found out we’re expecting again! This time I cried not of joy but of fear. I’m so scared I will miscarry again! Well, here are my symptoms:

CD12 OPK -, watery CM
CD13 OPK -, watery CM, BD w/ preseed and softcup
CD14 OPK -, watery CM, BD w/ preseed and softcup
CD15 OPK +, test line VERY dark compared to the control line (could I be very fertile after my miscarriage on 2/22/13??), watery CM
O Watery CM, BD in the AM w/ preseed, softcup and orgasmed twice (just to be sure the little swimmers get an extra push up there :-) ), ovulation pain on left side of ovaries
1DPO Creamy CM, BD in the AM w/ preseed, softcup and orgasm, ovulation pain on left side of ovaries
2-7DPO Creamy CM, no symptons, vivid dreams, had a few drinks the night of 7DPO
8DPO Ovulation like cramping, vivid dreams, heartburn, BFN
9DPO Ovulation like cramping, vivid dreams, BFN
10DPO Ovulation like cramping, vivid dreams, spotting (implantation?), two glasses of wine, BFN
11DPO BFN
12DPO BFaintP, took a test in the morning and came back after work to look at it. I thought I saw the faintest line but assumed it was an evap line so I tossed it in the garbage.
13DPO Took a test in the morning, took the dog out and came back to a BFP!!! Grabbed the old test out of the garbage and sure enough, there were two lines and the one this morning was darker.

DH and I have two step-daughters (13 & 14) and have been married for 10 years. We’ve had 3 failed pregnancies and no live births. I’m praying so hard this 4th pregnancy will seal the deal!

I promised myself that I would post my success story if it ever happened. I am now 13 weeks pregnant. Things I used/did to get pregnant: 50 mg Clomid (3rd month), had an HSG 2 months before bfp, Mucinex (2x a day starting 2 days before ovulation and ending 4 days after), preseed, and sex every day 3 days leading up to ovulation, day of ovulation, and 2 days after, and laid with my legs up for 20-30 minutes after sex. I also didn't drink any caffeine or alcohol. I used the Clearblue Ovulation Predictor. I got a bfp 3 days before my period was due. I took tests morning and night for the next 3 days and got all positives. On February 23rd, I went to get bloodwork done to check my HCG level. It was 340! I don't think there is a better feeling than being told YOU'RE PREGNANT! Symptoms: I started getting sore breasts 4 days after ovulation. I had some very light bleeding (pink) 6 days after ovulation. My right breast was noticeably bigger than the left. I was also exhausted that whole day. The day before my first bfp and 4 days before my period, I noticed small bumps on my nipples and I had a slight pain in my right ovary. I had a good feeling I might get a positive the next day and I did! Biggest Signs I was pregnant: tender/swollen breasts and pain in right ovary. Good luck everyone! It's a tough road, but you'll get your positive!

After TTC since June 12 we finally got our BFP this month! Addicted to all of the TTC forums we came across the idea of Preseed and Soft cups and read all of the success stories so decided to give it a try last month and who knew we would get our BFP first time with the preseed and soft cups?! It wasn't looking too good when I had no cramps or any signs of implantation around that time and had cramping 2 days before AF was due so I was completely expecting her to show up on time! The cramp very quickly went away and on the day AF was due - no sign of her. I usually have terrible cramps for about a week before AF and I didn't have anything to show AF was coming. I took a test when I was 2 days late and it showed negative. The only other time I had been late I was 4 days late with heavy cramp for over a week and this was nothing like that. I left it to the next day to take another test with morning urine and still negative. It wasn't until I was 6 days late that I took another test and it came back a very clear positive (still no symptoms of pregnancy or af). I couldn't believe it I took another test and got a second BFP. I am now 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant and giving all praise to preseed and soft cups after reading all of the success stories and eventually having our own success story to add. We had also been using boots pre-conception supplements for months.

I scoured this site during my TWW and said when I got my positive I would share my story in hopes it would help someone else.

Me 30 and DH 31 are high school sweethearts and married for 3 years. I stopped using nuvring July 2012 and my cycle returned to normal 27 to 29 days. We have been trying to conceive since September 2012. I downloaded the I period app and began taking my BBT in October.

When we did not conceive in November I ordered fertility blend for men for my husband. In January we began using preseed still no luck. On Jan 3 af came again and I was devastated. On this day I was listening to Klove and the encouraging story of the day came on and it was a woman who had been trying to conceive for a very long time. She talked about how she resented God for not getting pregnant and her doctors told her she would never have a baby. She repented for hating God and being jealous of others who were pregnant. The caller said she was pregnant the following month. I felt as if the Lord was speaking to me through her. Although I didn't resent the Lord I didn't want to get to that point either.

In February I went to my ob and she did a day3 test. The results came back with slightly elevated dhea. I was rx'd dexamethasone to take beginning cycle day 1 through 16. Next I had a day21 that which confirmed ovulation had occurred.

In February my husband got a SA and he had 2%morphology but excellent count and motility. The dr office suggested IUI but we didn't want to go that route. I downloaded the fertility friend app in February and noticed I missed ovulation the 1st 3 months that we have been trying with the I period app.

In March I began taking dexamethasone with no success.

In April I began taking fertile CM while still taking dexamethasone. I do not recommend fertile CM as I believe it delayed my ovulation. I usually ovulate between day 12 and 15, but when I didn't ovulate by day 14 I stopped taking fertile CM. Finally I ovulated on day 17. I didn't not get any EWCM either. April was the first month we tried the SMEP. It was exhausting but it worked!!

I told my husband by having our dog wear a shirt that said I'm going to be a big sister. He was in shock.

O day- nothing
1DPO - 6DPO nothing
7 - 9 DPO af cramps. This is when I started to think something was up since I do not get af cramps until 2 or 3 days before she arrives.
10 - 14DPO blood in my nose when I blew and when I brushed my teeth. Closer to 14 DPO I started getting extremely exhausted at work around 2pm which is not typical. My sense of smell heighten. POAS 12 & 13 DPO and BFN on early pregnancy test 10miu.
15 DPO day af is supposed to show. Take FRER very clear BFP!!! Took internet cheapie and a faint positive. Took a CBD and it said not pregnant.
16DPO took another CBD it said pregnant!!!!

I promised I would share my BFP story for those of you who stalk this site like I did reading inspirational stories and keeping hope alive. This is long but full of very helpful info if you are TTC!!! This is my 3rd cycle TTC. I removed my Mirena IUD in December and suffered no period for 2 months with crazy pregnancy symptoms for the whole 2 months. I did a 2 week detox and started Fertiliade to regulate my cycle (got AF 2 weeks after starting pills). This month I pulled out all the stops. I used BBT charting, Ovulation strips (I bought them in bulk on ebay 50 for about $8), grapefruit juice and Mucinex (during ovulation), preseed, and Softcups (I rolled the edge down one to make the plastics tighter and added preseed to it before I put it in. I rolled it down to create less space, it puts the fluids up on the cervix and keeps it right up against it and I left it in for 12 hours), Prenatal vitamins, and my hubby and I were both taking fetiliaid (GNC sells it) I know it may be TMI, but I wish someone would have said this when I was trying to figure it all out. He has poor motility, morphology, and low count! The doctor told him it would be near impossible to conceive but we proved them wrong! We BD 2 days before OV and the day of OV and the day after since I still had EWCM. My BBT Charts are normally the same and around 8-9 DPO my temp starts to drop slowly until AF comes. This BBT chart was all over the place. I had a major temp drop to the cover line at 4DPO (fall back temp?) and a slow rise and then another drop at 7DPO with a decent recovery the next day (implantation dip?). All temps are lower this month than previous months but after last drop in temp it’s been a steady slow rise. Baby Dust to all! I'm living proof that if you stay positive and trust it will happen that against all odds it will. Here are my symptoms.
OV- Lots and lots of EWCM, OPK test still dark positive in am but I know I OV because of my temp spike. I was also still taking antibiotics for an UTI (sorry TMI) 97.6 (97.3 the day before OV)
1 DPO- Nothing to note.
2 DPO- Nothing 97.8
3 DPO- Stuffy/runny nose (TMI warning: clear runny drainage), sneezing, off feeling in stomach like something wasn’t sitting right. Dizzy spells, hazy feeling. Thought it was my allergies, but allergy meds didn’t really help. Soft poops (sorry, TMI), very tired/lazy feeling most of the day, needed a major nap in PM and went to bed early-very tired. 98.2
4 DPO- Fall back temp? 97.7 (too early to be implantation dip) breast tender (but I ignore this because I get cramping, tender breast, and nausea every cycle but AF still came). Tired/lazy again. Dizzy, very runny nose all day (driving me nuts because it won’t stop), headache, very hungry.
5 DPO- Off feeling in stomach (kinda like I over ate and I have indigestion), runny poop (TMI), tired again nap at lunch, same runny stuffy nose with sneezing. 98.3 temp back up.
6 DPO- Light cramping, dizziness, light headache (not quite like a full on headache but like one was coming), watery mouth (nasty taste in mouth) off stomach feeling off and on. 98.2
7 DPO- Temp drops again 98.0 (feeling sad because this normally happens and it doesn’t rise again so I know AF is coming), runny nose, dizzy, sneezing, light headache. Normal energy today. No cramping (this is odd) Bad mood last night, ripped hubby a new one over the dog (poor guy) sleepy early at 8pm, cant sleep through the night up by 3 am with major heartburn and reflux. Neg opk test. (im a POAS-aholic!!)
8 DPO- Temp back up!! (98.4) I just know at this point something is up. I fought the feeling all month because I didn’t want to get my hopes up but I just knew it. Runny nose, sneezing, headache, cramping but not ovary cramping on the right or left side like before, it was lower and in the middle of uterus like period cramps. First real bout of nausea, decrease in appetite with bursts of hunger in between. To bed early and sleepless night again. Took FRER Pregnancy test even though OPK test was negative (OPK test will turn positive in the presence of HCG also, they were much cheaper than pregnancy tests but never a substitute) VERY VERY VERY light line, so light hubby thought I was seeing a shadow line…lol. I knew it was a BFP!!!! It was ever so lightly pink and was within the 10 min window before it is considered an evap line. By morning the line had gotten darker. If yesterday’s dip in temp was in fact an implantation dip then the line should be as light as it was because my body had just started producing HCG when implantation happened. No spotting this month at all. I normally spot every month about 5 days before my period. Major burning sensation in stomach. Finally I felt that “tugging” sensation behind belly button that everyone keeps talking about. Feels like a lil string attached to the back of your belly button and like something is pulling on it.
9 DPO- same symptoms. Another BFP in am and in PM!!! Each time the line is slightly darker, hubby can see the line without major lighting and magnifying glass…lol still really light though. Shows up on FRER (every test, 3 so far) but not other tests. BFN on CBE plus test. OPK now positive. (opk test more sensitive than CBE, FRER show positive before OPK test) 98.3 Runny nose is driving me insane!!
10DPO- BFP on CBE (very light + with evening urine) BFP on FRER, this time line is pink and clear although still not as dark as control line (see pic) 98.4 same symptoms as before with nausea off and on in short bursts. Very hungry very thirsty, not peeing a lot.
11DPO- At this point you get the picture. BFP!!! Hubby is in disbelief!!! Never give up hope. Against all odds we did it! My symptoms were different this month from previous months. (BBT chart all over the place, only had cold/allergy symptoms mostly, no spotting, not a lot of cramping) Praise, God/Allah/the Universe, or whatever you choose to believe in. Baby Dust to you all)

I have prayed for this day for over 2 years, and I have finally felt the overwhelming joy that comes with knowing that new life has been created! A positive on a Clear Blue Digital today (11 or 12 dpo) has me over the moon with happiness and relief!

Long story short, my husband and I (both 26, fit and healthy) have been trying for our first child for over 2 years. 1 1/2 years into the process I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis and lean PCOS. After a laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, tubal perfusion, and D&C, several ovarian cyst ruptures, being prescribed Metformin, failed Clomid cycle, I started Follistim injections with an hCG trigger shot in April.

I responded favorably to this treatment and had one mature follicle to trigger on CD 14. We were active CD 13, 15, 16,17, and 19. I believe I ovulated on CD 16 but am not 100% sure. In addition to the Follistim, Metformin, and trigger shot, I also used progesterone suppositories, Preseed, and remained laying down for 20 minutes after each time we were active.

The only symptoms out of the ordinary are from CD 8-11: I have had hot flashes that wake me up out of a dead sleep and strong smelling urine.

This was going to be our last month with our fertility specialist. I needed a break from all of the blood work, internal ultra-sounds, doctors visits, and scheduled intercourse. We were coming to terms with our infertility and had begun looking into foster-care and adoption options.

Over the past 2 years I have prayed for God to "remember me" in the way He remembered Hannah (in the book of Samuel). The Lord is faithful, and has remembered me. My husband and I are praying that this miraculous gift will stick, grow, and be healthy and strong!

Good luck to all who are struggling. It can be a long and painful journey, and I pray that each of you will be given the same gift that I received today!

Background info: I am 33, dh is 32. We were kind of trying for over a year when I found out that I was pregnant in December 2012, but then miscarried in January 2013. We were devastated. But then we started trying again in February...it seemed like it was never going to happen, but I was just being impatient. So, this was our third month trying after the miscarriage.

This month (April), we BD'ed on CD 11 & 14...I used ovulation tests, but never got a smiley face this month. So my DPO's are an estimate, assuming that I ovulated on CD 13 (which is my norm). We used Pre-Seed & mucinex, and I prayed A LOT.

6 dpo- Sharp pain in left side of uterus, gums sore, shooting pain in left bb
9 dpo- Felt bloated, also noticed that my puppy wants to lay/sleep on my tummy, she's never done this before, BFN at night dollar store test, 8pm-sharp cramping on right...sore teeth
10 dpo- Puppy wants to lay/sleep on my tummy again - curious...BFN at night dollar store test
11 dpo- Sore bb's, BFN FMU dollar store test
12 dpo- Sore bb's
13 dpo- BFN FMU dollar store test - I thought I was out this month for sure! I went on to enjoy my weekend...
14 dpo- AF due - didn't show
15 dpo- Where is AF?
16 dpo- Still no AF? Clear blue digital test in the afternoon - "Pregnant"; another test at night - BFP again!
17 dpo- Today

I still can't believe it. I had a lot more "symptoms" in other months...

Ok so I've been stalking this page the past 2wks and to say I'm excited is an understatement. I had Zero symptoms, I mean zero I was sure it was another month of disappointment. We are ttc #2, it took over 2 years to get preg with ds and I had been diagnosed with a rare form of endometrosis, anyway after surgery and hormone treatment, my obgyn told me I would not conceive naturally, 4mths later I was pregant after 2 years, ds is 2 now and we decided to ttc in Jan after getting coil removed, we are cycle 3 and this was my first month using opk, vitex, vit b complex and Pre-Seed. I got my 1st +opk ever as I never tracked before. We dtd around that time, I felt we had done it this month but lack of symptoms had me down, then again last time I got a bfp I hadn't a clue. I tested 12dpo and got bfn and wasn't goin to test till Friday 14dpo and af due, but I had a dream last night I got a bfp and did the test and to my shock it was a bfp. I'm breastfeeding my 2yr old ds and didn't want to wean.

My symptoms were minimal
1dpo-10dpo ZERO
11dpo- wet cm, night sweats, very irritable
12dpo- exhausted, bloated, gassy, have had bright yellow pee past 2 wks but ignored this as read vit b can make it like that, gassy and very hungry but that's not unusual for me, vibid dream of bfp
13dpo- wet cm, exhausted BFP!!!!!!!!!
I'm afraid to get too excited as it's eary but I'm so happy. So for all you ladies who have no symptoms, this could be your month x

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year. I had a laparoscopy and a hysteroscopy in February to remove endometriosis and a uterine septum. This is our 2nd cycle trying post-surgery. Before surgery I had done 2 cycles of Clomid, that were successful in achieving ovulation but not pregnancy. This is our first cycle of Clomid after the surgery. We are beyond thrilled!! I quit drinking caffeine in February. I exercise with yoga and on the elliptical. We also had an HSG in March, and some people say that there is an increase in pregnancy rates for about 3 months post-HSG.

CD 2: Appointment with RE. Ultrasound to check for cysts. Very large cyst on left ovary. RE says to come back in a week.
CD 8: Ultrasound with RE to check on cyst. Cyst still there, but getting smaller.
CD 13: Ultrasound with RE to check on cyst. Cyst gone! Start Clomid today!
CD 13-17: Clomid 50 mg (later start of Clomid than I even knew was possible, but my RE is the expert!)
CD 21: BD
CD 22: Ultrasound with RE to check on follicle growth. 4 follicles present, 3 at 25mm and 1 at 15mm. All in right ovary. Positive OPK in the afternoon right after RE appointment.
CD 23: Ovulation, BD - laid with a pillow under my hips for about 30 minutes post-BD. Used Conceive Plus (which is like Preseed).
1 DPO: nothing
2 DPO: nothing
3 DPO: twingy/crampy feeling in ovaries
4 DPO: twingy/ crampy feeling in ovaries, sensitive nipples
5 DPO: twingy/ crampy feeling in ovaries, sensitive nipples
6 DPO: sensitive nipples, vivid dream
7 DPO: sensitive nipples, breast tenderness, cramping feeling in pelvic area, constipated, vivid dreams, gums bled a little when flossing
8 DPO: sensitive nipples, breast tenderness, twingy/crampy feeling in left ovary, mild breakout on forehead, constipated, vivid dreams, thick-white-creamy CM
9 DPO: nipple sensitivity, breast tenderness, creamy-white-lotiony CM, cramps on left and ride sides throughout the day
10 DPO: nipple sensitivity, breast tenderness, creamy-white CM, vivid dream, pulling feeling on pubic bone
11 DPO: nipple sensitivity, breast tenderness, constipated, heavy/pulling feeling in uterus, pain/cramps in ovaries when stretching/transitioning from sitting to standing. Vivid dream. Bloated in the afternoon – it feels like I’m really full.
12 DPO: nipple sensitivity, breast tenderness, cramps in abdomen, bloated feeling, pulling feeling on pubic bone, lower back pain on right side. Broke down and took a pregnancy test (First Response) – BFP!!!! 2nd pink line came up within about 10 seconds and it was dark.
13 DPO: Took a digital First Response Early Result test this morning. YES +! :) Just love looking at that thing! Nipples and breasts are still tender. Still have the bloated feeling. Creamy CM.

Things that were different for me this cycle: twinges and cramps in my ovaries and uterus constantly. I have never felt that before. I can never feel my ovaries, even when they have huge cysts on them. Also, lotion-like CM on 9DPO, bloated feeling, and the vivid dreams. Breast tenderness and nipple sensitivity are normal for me so I didn't pay too much attention to that until it didn't stop. Usually it gets less intense the day before I start. I pretty much always have an 11 day LP. So when it was day 12 and my breasts still hurt I got suspicious.

Good luck to everyone with their BFPs!!!!

Hello! This board has kept me sane for the last seven months. This is actually the first month I haven't been hanging on to every story. The reason is, is because last month I was 100% sure I was pregnant and then my period came EIGHT DAYS LATE. There had been a very faint line on two tests (VERY FAINT) so it may have been a miscarriage. Either way, last month was devastating, and I didn't want to get my hopes up again but LO AND BEHOLD!

This is also the first month I haven't been charting my symptoms with ridiculous attention, so my by dpo is a bit loose and basically entirely bb related!
Cd13 - EWCM for the first time since we began TTC (poor ovulation? I'm only 23! Oh well I got my way now :D) bbd all around here
1-9 DPO, nothing at all
9 dpo my boobs are a little sore, which is pretty early in my cycle.
10 DPO okay, my boobs are crazy. It's like someone is holding a lighter under my nipples.
11 DPO nipple erections? Okay this is getting wierd, my nipples are constantly standing out like a half inch which they have never done before.
12 DPO still too scared from last month to test, but not my h cup boobs are spilling forth out of my bra and sitting wierd off to the sides. Usually by this time I m an emotional wreck from Pms but this month I'm just sort of happy and calm.
13 DPO bloating like WOAH, and still monster bbs. I am sure aunt flo is on the way. even get cramps ever few hours, the very gentle kind I expect to turn into a total pain party
14-21DPO waiting, cramps continue every so often and by 21 I'm like HUSBAND JUST LET ME PEE ON A STICK (we had agreed I would wait until my period is a week later than it has ever been, which is a week later than this still). He fetches the stick. I pee on it IMMEDIATLY BAM Test line just as dark as he control. That was last Friday :D still no period, still positive tests. Starting to get a lil tired and nauseous but I love it because it means we are, or at least can have a baby!! When I was seventeen because of a PID I was told I may very well be infertile so this is just freaking awesome.

What we have done different this month (and the month before):
Maca Root
Preseed
way less stress (school is out)
I took vitex last month but stopped this month because I didn't like that it seemed to remove all period symptoms (which would be great if I wasn't TTC)

thanks website, and good luck everyone! I am so excited for all of you when you POS and get your BFPS!!

My period was 6 days late. I was having symptoms that matched up with my usual PMS symptoms - but no AF! I was so frustrated and felt like I was crazy. I peed on two sticks and BFN. I happen to go to my family doctor for an annual allergy medicine refill and I requested a blood test. The next day I got the call with a BFN. I was disappointed, sure, but more confused because STILL no period. Friends and sisters told me to just move on, but I still didn't feel like it was time yet. Yesterday I happened to be at a store and there was a sale on pregnancy tests, so I decided to stock up considering we are 'trying' and it never hurts to have extra. "Just for fun" I took one of the tests - at this point I was 15 days late and no AF but my boobs hurt a little- and BAM. There it was! BFP!!! I took two more tests thinking they were malfunctioning or something- nope! All BFPs!

I want to take this time to encourage all of you and let you know that even if multiple tests come back BFN and you think it's the end of the word- DON'T GIVE UP! Try not to let it get you down! You never know- you could be like me and find that 3 negatives do turn into a big fat positive!!!

I can't believe I am able to finally say I am pregnant! After about 7 months of trying, my doc agreed to test since I just knew something wasn't right. Turns out I wasn't ovulating. She recommended Clomid 50 mg to start. I was so hopeful but it didnt make me ovulate. Round two we upped the dose to 100 mg, I had lost 10 lbs, quit my stressful job, started accupressure and Pre-Seed. I did ovulate but still no BFP. This month, I repeated the 100 mg along with the accupressure and Pre-Seed, but I also added Robitussin. Yesterday, after days of sore bb's and no other symptoms I decided to randomly test, 12dpo. I only had two ept digitals left so I took one. I couldn't believe when it read PREGNANT! I guess I was so used to negatives I couldn't believe it so I took the other digital 2 hours later and it was negative. Wow what a way to screw with my head lol! I ran out and bought two FRER non digital tests. Ths morning, I took one with FMU and got a super faint line. If it weren't for the previous positive digital I probably would have tossed it out! And then this evening I confirmed with yet another positive FRER, this time the line was light but darker than the previous test. So thats 3 BFP! I know these forums helped me through all the emotions every month and I really was losing hope. I read so many peoples stories and didn't feel so alone. I want all of you waiting for that BFP to try not to lose faith! It finally is my turn and it was all worth it seeing that BFP! :)

A little about myself... I'm 28 and DH is 31. We have been TTC since Dec. (used CBFM) I was getting discourage month after month of BFN!! I stocked this website and told myself I would help others if I would to ever get my BFP!! Here where my symptoms:
Ovulated 4/28- BD every other day after period ended on 4/11.
Cd1- Normal ovulation cramps
Cd2-cd8 - No real symptoms
Cd9- Cramping
Cd-10- Stronger cramping and some CM
Cd11- Bad side pain on my left side and cramping
Cd12- Cramping and sharp pains throughout the day in both breast. Took a test very light line
Cd13- Cramping sharp pains in breast still took a digital test first response-NEGATIVE- I thought I was out by new all these new feelings meant I was PG didn't believe the test- later that afternoon took another test dollar store and sure enough a slight line popped up!!!
Cd14- BFP!!!! Took a digital test with Clear Blue and sure enough Pregant!!! Took 3 other dollar store ones and sure enough a beautiful second line clear as day!!! Trust your body!!

Things I did different- ate pineapple from cd1-5. Used pre-seed on day of O.

Made my doctor appointment for 5/29! So happy!!!!
Baby dust to you all!!! Never give up!!!! Wish for a sticky bean for me!!!!!!!

Me and my husband have been ttc for 3 cycles. Used Pre-Seed 3rd cycle and BFP first time using it!!! If you haven't tried it I definitely recommend it!! Friend of mine also used it for the first time this cycle and got her BFP too!! Good luck to all ttc and to those who have gotten their BFPs!!
1 dpo- Nothing
2 dpo- Nothing
3 dpo- Breasts began to be sore at sides and acid reflux.
4-7 dpo- Same as above. Sore breasts, acid reflux and gassy. Just felt like a lot of "activity" in my stomach.
8 dpo- same as 4-7 plus this night I felt a throbbing/pulsation feeling around my left ovary. It was like throbbing mild pains every 10-15 seconds for a few minutes then stopped. BFN on $ store test with fmu.
9 dpo- Few cramps throughout the day and breasts sore on sides. Other than that my symptoms had kinda gone away. BFN on $ store test with fmu.
10 dpo- Clear BFP with FRER and fmu!!! No better time to get that much wanted BFP than on Mothers Day!!! BFP later on during the day with EPT digital and $ store tests.
11 dpo- today... Super tired. Light cramps in lower abdomen and light back pain. My breasts are still sore. Not my nipples. Started with the sides of my breasts on 3 dpo and now they are sensitive all over. Not too painful for clothes or a shower like some people describe so don't get discouraged if yours are not that sore. Just painful to the touch and sometimes achy.

Hello Two Week Waiters!

I can't tell you how many times I visited this site during my TWW and how much it helped to read about people who I could relate to and now it's my turn to contribute!!!

I had a chemical pregnancy 2 cycles ago. I had some early symptoms: increased smell, face break out, nausea, but not too many. It was our first month trying and really sad when AF showed up a week after BFP.

The next cycle we used Pre-Seed and OPK. I was noticing sooo many symptoms (acne, headaches, smells?, vivid dreams, nausea). I could have sworn I was prego. I was noticing every little thing happening with my body and reading into everything.

So that brings us to the 3rd cycle. We used Pre-Seed and OPK again. I had all the same symptoms as last month but realized they were just happening (not necessarily a sign of pregnancy). I started testing around 10 DPO and was getting BFN for days. I thought we were out for sure. I was testing everyday and saving each test. I was expecting AF any minute. Before bed on 13 DPO I just happened to go and look at the tests. Was there a line? No? Yes? Was I seeing things? I could BARELY see something. 14 DPO - same thing. I had been using Wondfo so decided to try a FRER and yes! BFP!!!!! Lines didn't start to get darker until 17DPO.

We are sooo excited. We are crossing our fingers this pregnancy works and for a healthy little one in January!

Good Luck Ladies!!!

I just got my test results back from the doctor, so barring any unforeseen issues between now and Monday when I get another beta taken, I am officially preggers! I wanted to share my story with you because this site has helped me through so many ups and downs, and I want to pay it forward. After a year of being off birth control, "trying but not trying" then "trying" then having some issues with my cycles, I've realized anything can happen. Whether you're taking a break, actively checking every single possible symptom, or just letting it happen naturally, anything is possible.

This month was our first month using Pre-Seed, my third month temping. We bd'd 3 days leading up to O. DH and I had both been under a ton of stress at our jobs, so I really wasn't thinking this would be the month. My most noticeable symptom that was not normal for me was fatigue. I was so.tired.

1-3 DPO - sore bbs (this happens slightly before and after ovulation regularly)
4-9 DPO - creamy CM, sore bbs
9 DPO - negative HPT; didn't think it would be positive, was just curious
10 DPO - streak of blood on panties, creamy CM, sore bbs
11 DPO - brown spotting mixed with creamy CM, sore bbs, fatigue
12 DPO - brown spotting mixed with creamy CM continues, sore bbs, fatigue, think I'm out
13 DPO - brown spotting continues (less than previous and only in AM), creamy CM continues, cramps, fatigue, waiting for AF
14 DPO - brown spotting lightens up a LOT - only noticed it in the AM, cramping, creamy CM, fatigue. Get incredibly tipsy off of one, small drink, this is when I thought something was definitely up.
15 DPO - same as previous, hubs notices my fatigue, decide to test in AM
16 DPO - BFP FMU
20 DPO - BFP confirmed with blood test

Hang in there, ladies!

I finally got my bfp back in March, I am almost 15 weeks :) This was our 16th cycle trying. We had all the testing done and nothing was wrong so my doctor put me on clomid 50mg days 3-7. I was originally pregnant with twins but we had a disappearing twin around 6 weeks, other baby is doing great though :)
Here are my symptoms:
-nothing, really absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. I was absolutely convinced that this was not my month, I even cried to my hubby about how it was never going to happen just a few days before my bfp
-I did have increased cm the entire month, not just in my tww but I'm pretty sure it was the clomid. In my tww it was this weird stretchy, creamy stuff I've never really had before and I do still get it but I distinctly remember my cm drying up around 9 dpo.
-my boobs were very sore from around 8 or 9 dpo which is also completely normal
-very tired and hungry during entire tww, again completely normal
-I had a very small amount of spotting for a few hours on the day af was due, I was sure she was here but it stopped completely so I tested the next morning at 15 dpo and got a very dark bfp!

So the moral of the story? You can be pregnant with no unusual symptoms :)

This is my 4th cycle TTC since AF returned in January after having my son a year ago. I was still nursing up till a week ago until I weaned so thought it would take a while longer. I will be 33 next month and DH is 36. We have a 13 month old son that was a provera and clomid baby after getting off BC and AF not returning. No medical issues just been dealing with low progesterone after having blood drawn last month and it was only 3.4 so I thought it would take a while. I am shocked to get my BFP this morning at 10 dpo. Here are my symptoms or lack there of. Looking back I did have them but didn't know better.
O day: cramping but that is normal, I had a pos opk the day before
1-8 dpo: constipation and that is not normal for me, very runny nose and sneezing (thought allergies) and stringy/lotiony/sticky CM which is not normal bc I have never even seem EWCM
8-10 dpo: red/brownish blood showed up that night and was determined it was AF, my lp has only been 9-10 days so didn't think twice it being IB (only had a few dots with son). Bleeding comes and goes still when I wipe but hoping for the best. Today I started have loose bowel. I started getting cramps and sore breasts (in armpit area) also. Tested this morning with FRER and BFP right away with faint line! I almost died!! Didn't expect it
Things I have been doing before O is Pre-Seed (Love It), robitussin, opks and ate pineapple after O. I prayed a lot to God for a baby and he delivered! I didn't raise my hips or anything, just didn't go to the bathroom afterwards. I have no CM ever so I needed Pre-Seed and will continue to use it as our new lube!! Good luck ladies and I pray this is a sticky bean!!!

Hi everyone!

I came across this site in March and it has been SUCH a source of inspiration to me, and I can't believe I'm posting my own BFP story on here now. Some background - tried with my first husband from 2003 till early 2012, had 6 M/C's in that time. Long unexplained gaps in between pregnancies, tests revealed nothing at all wrong with me and no reasons for the M/C's. Found issues with ex DH, a very abnormal sperm morphology issue (85% abnormal with 15% normal). Told our only hope was to try ICSI, was offered 2 cycles of this on the NHS. In February 2012, literally ten days before I was due to start injections, ex DH left me after 16 years of marriage. He was having an affair with my best friend, totally devastated, thought my chance to become a Mum was over at age 38.

Then got together with a close friend who I'd known for ten years, married him on April 6th but started to try last March. DH had a test and count etc all came back fine. NHS said if I needed it I was still entitled to 2 rounds of IVF/ICSI but I must access this before my 40th birthday this coming October. Hoped we would catch naturally without having to do this.

Started temping and charting again in March, BFN in March and April, convinced I was pregnant in April but the witch arrived a few days later than normal for me. So this month, this is what we did and my symptoms:

BD 3 days before OV and the day before OV. DH was then away with work on the day itself so we couldn't BD, and I was convinced I was out this time.
1-3 DPO - No symptoms.
4-9 DPO - Really tired, was in my office on a web training course and couldn't help closing my eyes and nodding off a bit, very unlike me. Sore BBS towards 7-8 DPO but usually get that anyway before AF due.
9 DPO - Creamy CM, again unusual for me, woke up twice in the night needing the loo - never usually do that.
10 DPO - Had two pink spots of blood when I wiped after going to the loo - thought that's it, I'm definitely out because I usually spot before AF appears, but AF can take up to 2 days or so to arrive from when I start to spot
11 DPO - Brown spotting, sore bbs, very tired, cramp like pains in my lower back and sides.
12 DPO - Sore bbs, cramp like pains in my lower back and sides.
13 DPO - Really tired, decided to have a glass of white wine to relax after getting back from my office and it went straight to my head, only had half - again unusual for me.
14 DPO - AF due, been a few days since the spotting, convinced that AF was still on the way.
15 DPO - Still convinced that AF was on the way but just a bit later than normal, sore BBS (very sore in fact), cramp like pains in my lower back and sides. Exhausted.
16 DPO - Went into town and bought 2 x packs HPT's, 1 digital pack and one normal pack. Said to myself I would NOT test until 18 DPO if AF doesn't show, but couldn't resist testing that evening at approximately 8.15pm, so I thought it would be completely the wrong time to test, but did it anyway. Used one of the digital tests, within seconds a BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A minute or so later it says "2-3 weeks". Woke up DH to tell him as he wasn't very well in bed with a flu virus, he thought he was dreaming!
17 DPO - Used second digital test first thing when I got up to get a second opinion - BFP again within seconds!! Booked doctors appointment and been referred to the EPU for initial consultation and scan next Tuesday due to my history of miscarriages, even though they were likely down to the issue my ex DH had.
18 DPO - Still can't believe it so use one of the normal tests, Superdrug own brand - strong pink BFP line within seconds again!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Definitely pregnant!!
What I did differently this last month - I bought and used Pre-Seed without letting my DH know (ran into the bathroom before BD and used the inserting tube with it) and tried to relax although difficult knowing I only had till October to try and get pregnant naturally. I cut out alcohol for the most part from March 10th onwards this year and only had a bit at my wedding to DH, and the one the other night.

Don't ever give up ladies, I'm living proof it CAN happen!!!!!!! Obviously I have a long way to go yet, but praying that this one sticks!!!

Here's to happy and healthy BFP's and baby dust to all!!!
