I'm soo happy to finally share my own BFP story! So a little background, I have been off BCP since April 2012 (11 months) but I have long irregular cycles so this was my 6th cycle of TTC. We started BBT charting on cycle #2 and we invested in the OvaCue Fertility Monitor at the end of our 4th cycle, and I swear that this is the only reason we are pregnant. I had thought that I ovulated super early this month, and without the OvaCue I would not have known that I hadn't and we needed to BD! We BD only the once on O day CD27.

Here are the symptoms I had, some of these are normal for me in my 2WW and none of them were consistent or all day, they were off and on throughout the day. (Normal for me; acne, cramping, gassy and bloated, headaches, creamy CM)

O day - watery/creamy CM, heavy acne break out, slightly crampy, woke up starving that morning, and was nauseous at bedtime
1DPO - creamy CM, woke up starving again, stomach ache, frequent urination, gassy and bloated, heavy acne, tasted blood for a few mins but no blood?
2DPO - stomach ache, heightened smell, super dry lips, nauseous at bedtime, acne, gassy and bloated, cramps and a headache
3DPO - Sex dream?! acne, sore lower back, frequent urination
4DPO - creamy/watery CM, acne, slightly nauseous, cramps, frequent urination
5DPO - gassy and bloated, cramps, frequent urination, acne
6DPO - sex dream?! Started not sleeping well, tossing and turning every other night, cold sore (yuck!), headache, acne, cramps, frequent urination
7DPO - creamy CM, cold sore, headache, acne, frequent urination, cramps
8DPO - cold sore got BAD, acne, frequent urination, headache, gassy
9DPO - BAD cold sore, acne, headache, bloating, cramps
10DPO - BAD cold sore, super dry lips, acne, loss of appetite
11DPO - nightmare, shooting cramp when sneezing?! super dry lips, cold sore, cramps, creamy CM
12DPO - cold sore, second cold sore came up (double yuck!) super dry lips, stomach ache, really red eye, itchy everywhere! darkish CM, acne, cramps, heartburn? bloating and gassy, creamy CM
13DPO - cold sore x 1, super dry lips, tender nips, yellowish watery CM? super tight swollen vagina (VERY VERY strange!!) acne, bloated and gassy, nausea, cramps, very moody
14DPO - 1st cold sore almost gone, growing pains in lower legs? itchy boobs, itchy everywhere, stomach ache, nausea, cramps, loss of appetite, watery CM
15DPO - second cold sore got worse! weird/intense dream, sharp cramps when sneezing, acne, cramps, loss of appetite, bloating, nausea, creamy CM
16DPO - 2 intense/sad dreams and woke up crying, bright bright yellow pee, frequent urination, nausea, loss of appetite, cramps, creamy CM
17DPO - AF DUE TODAY, no AF first thing in the morning so tested with cheapie test, barely barely there line.... thought I was seeing things, woke up DH and he can see the line too. Dipped FRER (same sample) medium dark second line!! Now I'm freaking out/crying/shaking! Dipped CB digital (same sample), Pregnant 1-2 weeks! OMG! Freaking out!!
Afterwards we went to tell our families and give them our surprise gift, then went to do blood work HCG test for my doctor.

Oh and things that we did differently this month....
-halfway through last month we switch from External Pre-Seed to Internal Pre-Seed
-Layed on my back with my legs elevated up against the headboard with a pillow under my butt for min 30 mins after BD
-Did not BD for 9 days leading up to ovulation, only BD once on O day.
-DH was on FertilAid for Men (only 1 pill per day) (not sure if DH was an issue or not)
-More relaxed about TTC since having the OvaCue
-Second month with OvaCue Monitor

Hi Ladies! I can't believe I am writing this. After 13 months, 2 miscarriages and a chemical pregnancy.. this is SURELY my time??

Firstly, I'll start with what I did differently this month.
- Vitex from CD2 to CD 14 (this was the first time I'd ever gotten a SUPER dark OPK result, and I believe the vitex really helped me nail down when I was going to ovulate)
- Acupuncture the week leading up to Ovulation
- Green tea once a day in the afternoon (I heard this was good for CM)
- Spirullina tablets (for general health and well being)
- Pre-Seed! (first time using the stuff and we loved it, DH loved it too!)

1-6DPO - Nothing much to note
7DPO - Had a massive fatigue feeling in the afternoon, really hit a wall that no amount of coffee would fix. Also had headaches through the day. Went to bed super early. Dry CM. Tender bbs. BFN.
8DPO - Woke up really early and POAS. Left it to dry and went back to sleep for a few hours. Woke up and saw a very obvious line! POAS again to make sure it wasn't an evap - and there it was BFP!! Was couch stricken all day. Couldn't stomach my coffee. Nausea, fatigue, really sore bbs, gassy!
9DPO - Digial BFP! Woohoo! Symptoms same as yesterday, but LOTS of CM. I'm usually fairly dry around this time.
10DPO - Doctor confirmed BFP :) Symptoms include really sore bbs, gassy, FATIGUE... as in my whole body is barely functioning. Headache & coffee aversion.

Wish us luck!! Praying my little bug sticks this time :) Good luck to you all xxx

My husband and I have been trying to conceive our first child together (he has a 4 year old daughter from previous marriage) for 18 months with no success. I am an ovarian cancer survivor that has left me with one ovary and quite a hard time conceiving. This month I turned to acupuncture while continuing to use conceive plus (2nd month using) and instead cups (4th month using) and prayed my little heart out. Peed on an OPK last night because I didn't want to waste another HPT and it turned ALMOST positive (it is 14 dpo for me today I normally have a 10 - 12 day luteal phase) so I decided what the heck I am late so used my only HPT this morning and strong BFP!!! We are absolutely over the moon I had started to believe it was never going to happen for us and was getting harder and harder for me to listen to my step daughter talk about how badly she wants a baby brother or sister. So I just want to say to all the ladies out there who are struggling with over a year of TTC with no success DO NOT GIVE UP it will happen!! Now for the part everyone actually reads these for! :P

1-7dpo Couple little twinges not much to comment on

7-14 dpo CRAMPS (really thought AF was coming cramps were pretty bad at times other times just pinches low down on alternating sides), dry tacky white cm, cervix low firm closed (just last night got a bit soft but still low only difference is feels more closed than normal), starting at about 9 dpo my boobs got quite sore on sides even in a bra and very heavy and sore in mornings especially (this was big sign as never sore before period but the cramps still made me think af was coming) and heartburn starting at 12 dpo

I pray this story gives any ovarian cancer survivors or ladies ttc for longer than a year HOPE. As I mentioned before I had really kinda begun to give up at this point, I stopped temping and recording data altogether. Only checked for ewcm which I had one day of, I still used the conceive plus, made sure to orgasm after hubby and then raise hips and put in an instead cup after to hold the swimmers in place, left it in for about 8 hours and removed. I started going to acupuncture about a month ago been to 3 sessions it obviously didn't hurt and was incredible for relaxing! I put all my faith in God and will continue to pray for a healthy sticky pregnancy!

Wish everyone luck and thank you for reading my novel :P Baby dust to all!!

Got my BFP today super super faint at 9 DPO and hoping that it gets darker as its supposed to.

So here go the details...

Tubal reversal in 2011, miscarriages in December 2011, march 2012, August 2012, and November 2012.

Reproductive endocrinologist put me on 100 mg Clomid days 5-9, and 3DPO I started progesterone supplements 200 mg twice a day.

I have been taking prenatals for over a year along with baby aspirin. This month I took EPO from CD10 to Ovulation, and a B-complex every day. Also took guaiafenisen CD 10 to ovulation, 10 mL (200mg) 3x/day.

Clomid made me very irritable and emotional. Cervical pain and some dryness. Ovulated later than I had on Clomid previously, CD18.

Cramps every day after ovulation, headaches, back aches, extreme fatigue, and a lot of having to get up to go pee.

Just got the nerve to test in the middle of the afternoon and got a faint positive!

So excited

We got our BFP this week on 10 DPO. This is our second pregnancy. We conceived our son almost 3 years ago. Both pregnancies were conceived during our second month trying and for both we used PreSeed and the Clearblue Fertility Monitor. Last month (BFN) I kept careful track of every symptom and I seemed to have many more than I noticed this month. These are my symptoms:
1-6 DPO: Nothing
7 DPO: Crampy/gassy feeling for about an hour in the morning
8 DPO: Woke up with a minor headache, sharp cramps/twinges around 11am
9 DPO: Gassy, heavy/full feeling breasts, some minor cramping later in the day
10 DPO: Gassy, heavy/full breasts, BFP on FRER, BFN on Internet Cheapie
11 DPO: BFP again on FRER and FRRR, sore breasts, gassy, occasional crampy feeling

Some notes- With both pregnancies the telltale sign for me was the way my breasts felt. I never get breast soreness with PMS or my period so it was the first thing I picked up on both times. This month was stressful for us because one of our dogs had to have sudden emergency surgery right around the time of O. Therefore, we only BD'd on the first peak day. We just got lucky!

Also- I will never use internet cheapies again. As of this morning (12 DPO) I have tested BFP on 2 First Response Early Results and even BFP on First Response Rapid Result (which is supposed to be 100 MIU) but still BFN on the internet cheapies I got as free gifts when I ordered my CBFM sticks from earlypregnancytests.com. They may work for others but I wouldn't trust them!

Hubby is 30 and I'm 28. We have a son who's 18 mos, who has Goldenhar Syndrome (a craniofacial syndrome), which is caused by a problem w/ neural crest cells around 5-6 weeks gestation. We had no idea our son would have this until he was born, and even though it's a random thing and not inherited, I wondered if maybe our sperm and egg just didn't mesh well; I feared we wouldn't be able to get pregnant when we tried again. When I got preggo w/ my son, we were newly married and not yet trying, so we didn't have much to go on.

My last period started January 16, which meant I o'd that cycle on CD 17; I'm usually a CD 16 girl. Starting CD 14 and going through CD 18, we BD'd every day, and on CD 16 and CD 17 I went to sleep right after ~ no getting up until the next morning. We were on a long road trip CD 16 and CD 17, because our son is having a health issue and we were seeking a second opinion 1K miles away... so I wondered if the stress would keep me from getting preggo, but...no!

Friday 2/1/13 - Driving to my son's appointment - 12 hours in the car! Strong O cramps near midnight as we passed through D.C. BD'd around 2 a.m. when we reached our nightly destination! A for effort!

Saturday to Sunday 1 to 2 dpo - nothing

Monday 3 dpo - Very tired; fell asleep when supposed to be watching my son to be sure he doesn't pick at seriously injured eye; more frequent urination.

Tuesday 4 dpo - Very tired; tight closed cervix; feeling icky-super-tired at bedtime; mild twinge in cervix area; more frequent urination.

Wednesday 5 dpo - Shooting boob pain in one boob just like at the start of my pregnancy w/ my son; boobs looking HUGE; skin looks really glowy; mild crampiness; much more frequent urination; lots of thick, creamy discharge; lots of sinus drainage.

Thursday 6 dpo - Much more frequent urination; feel very cold several times (just could not get warm no matter what); hunger pains despite normal eating, but not much appetite; bad heartburn at night; feel very yucky-tired at bedtime; slightly darker nipples; some loose stools; bad headache in evening; creamy discharge; strongly feel that I am pregnant.

Friday 7 dpo - Two or three mild dizzy spells; lots of hunger pains; intense low back ache in evening; more frequent urination and also more urgency; bad heartburn at night; teeth feel like they're moving, like when I had braces in middle school (has NEVER happened before EVER); wired and do not want to go to sleep/mild insomnia; breasts sore; craving fruit and cheese and salad; headache in evening; feeling very sexual almost all day; keyed up, looking up best labor and delivery hospitals; preggo brain, unusually forgetful several times today; some loose stools; some discharge; very cold on and off all day; strongly feel that I am pregnant.

Saturday 8 dpo - Emotional all day. Quick to cry - very sad about small things like pen running out of ink. Crabby later at night. A few dizzy spells. My son woke up at 5:30 a.m. and when I carried him to rocking chair and held him in my lap I had some bad cramping. Boobs sore, but not much. Some watery discharge off and on today. Heartburn at night, just like the last few days. Took a loooong, unplanned nap for 2 hours with my son when I should have been working. Craved fruit. A salad I usually enjoy tasted disgusting. I could taste it much more than normal and did not care for it at all! Hungry but not much appetite. VERY spacey and forgetful - much more than normal. Feel icky-tired around 10:30, like I have the flu. Normal bedtime is 12:30. Still having urgency and frequency peeing. Some loose stools. Woke up in the middle of the night last night w/ lots of drainage. THIRSTY today!

Sunday 9 dpo - Can't resist POAS w/ FRER. Negative, of course. Why did I do that?? Now feeling discouraged and upset. Reminding myself that w/my son, I didn't get a positive until 15 dpo w/ FRER. *sigh* Symptoms: thirsty, bloated, weird twinges in uterus area, lack of appetite, very sleepy, almost threw up in the line to get dinner. VERY unusual as I have an iron stomach! I feel like maybe I'm still in the game!

Monday 10 dpo - All day doc appts w/ my son. Can't remember. Some hot flashes at night, and very emotional. Lack of appetite. Some heartburn. ? Mild pink spotting when wipe and WAY too early to be my period!

Tuesday 11 dpo - Very small amount of pink/brown spotting a few times when wipe. BM - small amount of bright red blood. If this is my period starting, I ovulated earlier than ever before!!! WTF??!!! Very upset! Cried in Panera because someone was nice to me and it made me feel a little better. Very tired all day and terrible heartburn at night.

Wednesday 12 dop - Spotted pretty much all day. Very disappointed. Figured cycle was screwed up and period would start any time - did not even track symptoms and am even now writing them after the fact. Spotting was both red and brown, with one very, very tiny clot. Total, was probably enough to fill a super thin pad. Had heartburn and 'sour stomach' in evening. Fell asleep w/ my son around 9:00 (NEVER happens).

Thursday 13 dpo - Spotting stopped. Totally confused. Have had no major preggo signs and am still not tracking symptoms. Keep waiting for spotting to come back. Slept till 8, meaning I had 11 hours of sleep last night (never get that much EVER) and all day I am struggling not to fall asleep! That was a big sign for me that maybe I wasn't out after all. I literally have not slept this much since I was preggo w/ my son, so why am I still tired??? Also had sour stomach, weird gas, and terrible heartburn after everything I ate. Wanted two cookies for lunch and cupcake for afternoon snack! Totally unlike me. Hungry all day despite all the sugar. Boobs possibly a little sore? Almost cried when I saw my body wash on the floor of the bathtub rather than on the shelf! Checked cervix - mid-height and kind of hard, seems tightly closed at the tip. In the evening a little brown spotting - very little. POAS at 10 p.m. after doing nothing special (no holding pee, etc.) and get a very faint pink line on FRER! Different than the ones I took a few days ago, where there was no line at all. Told my husband, then did an elliptical workout, looking at the test the whole time! Can't wait to go to sleep and try again tomorrow a.m. for a darker line.

Friday 14 dpo - POAS first thing. Line a little darker, but not much. Confused and disappointed - too scared to trust that I am really preggo and it won't be a chemical. Mildly crampy all day. Side stitch on and off under the left side of my ribs. Hungry and heartburn a lot. Some very minor brown spotting. POAS again at noon but line was even more faint; think I drank too much. Noticeably hungrier today. Very spacey a lot of the day. Felt nauseated and over-tired. In the evening, got into a terrible mood - threw a big fit and wanted to kill everyone in sight. Want to trust my light BFPs but desperate to see a darker one. By bedtime feeling very discouraged. Still have cramps and heaviness and pulling in my uterus. Can't wait to test tomorrow!!!

Saturday 15 dpo - POAS w/ FRER as soon as I get up and NOTHING! Not even a control line!!!! Finally control line comes after about 3 minutes, but no positive. I got so upset I threw this and all my other faint positive tests away! Prayed really hard that I could handle it if this was a chemical. Went upstairs and took another test - immediate positive, darker than yesterday (though still not dark). Realized it's not 15 dpo for me until about midnight. I o'd Friday 2/1 around midnight... so I'm still technically 14 dpo. Took a while to get a strong pos w/ my son, too. Must just be a 'me' thing. Agonizingly tired today around midday and also around 8:30 p.m. More thirsty. Stomach hurting/nauseated/heartburn. Cried once or twice over small things. VERY crampy today, especially after dinner, and had some faintly pinkish CM right after those cramps. More thick white CM, too. Boobs more sore today. Praying for a sticky bean and God's grace, always!

*I've realized, from my experiences w/ my son, that I need to trust God TOTALLY ~ even if his plans for me include something I think is horrible, he is my God and he knows what's BEST! I pray for my new baby constantly but in the end it's all in God's hands and I wouldn't have it any other way!*

xoxox Baby dust to all!

TTC since last April. My DP was working and living 40 miles away so we would meet up at weekends and once midweek.
We moved in together in October 2012 so have been seriously TTC with lots of BD around o time since October. 2012.
I've been taking pre con vits, Q10, Omega 3 since last April. Been ultra healthy, low caffeine and alcohol consumption, I'm very active, skate 2 times a week and cycle 40 miles a week.
We were both getting a bit low about not getting our BFP, I had just started having blood tests at the doctors to check my fertility.
A friend had suggested my DP take folic acid for his swimmers. Also he was a bit underweight last year and since Christmas has put on about 10Ibs and started doing weight training.
The only other different thing we did this month was use Pre-Seed, and we were very relaxed and happy at o time because we were on our way to Paris. We had an amazing time.
As for symptoms. There was nothing out of the ordinary really. In fact at 11 dpo I spotted and thought AF was around the corner. I had a bit of a cry on DPs shoulder and resolved to keep trying.
11 DPO pink spotting when checking CM
12 DPO brown spotting when checking CM
13 DPO onward Heavy tender BB, v mild cramp in low abdomen, bit more tired than usual, feel like I need to to BM but nothing there except wind (sorry TMI), more gassy.
16 DPO no AF, poas gave very faint BFP, me and DP could not believe it. It was also Valentines day!
Now 19DPO and that BFP line is very strong. The cramping is settling and it seems I am 5 weeks PG.
GP appointment on Thursday which will be 21 DPO.
Hoping for a happy healthy 1st pregnancy :)

I must say that the past three months I was stalking this page, but this month not so much to let myself to "relax" as everyone else says. I tried not to "care" as much, but I was crossing my fingers just like any other month. I went off BC in June 2012. My husband deployed so I figured go off then and get my body back to normal. And good thing, too. My cycles were irregular: 26 days, 47 days, 55 days for the first three months. Then he came home and we used OPK and charting my BBT that first month to see if I was actually ovulating. It showed a surge and my temp spiked so I felt that I was ovulating and we now needed to get the timing right. My cycle was 32 days. I felt like I was finally getting to my "normal" cycle. The following month we continued to use OPK and charting, but we added Preseed. I had a 37 day cycle. This time, the lucky third time, we used the CB OPK, charting BBT, Preseed, and I took FertilAid. This morning my temperature spiked so I decided to take a pregnancy test even though I told DH I was going to take one Tuesday. I'm 12DPO and got my first BFP with a CBD!!!! As for what symptoms I was feeling, I honestly felt nothing different than getting AF. I seriously thought she was coming and I kept checking to see yesterday because I was slightly cramping and bloated and felt like I was leaking. I felt like she was coming and kept telling DH that I think we were out this month and started planning when I might be ovulating in March. I did spot 9DPO during BD (sorry TMI) and this is usually a sign that AF is coming. The one thing looking back was that I get really bad lower back aches right before AF shows, but this month I did not have the back aches. Maybe that was my one clue. I'm crossing my fingers for a sticky bean! Baby dust to you all!

My hubby & I have been ttc for about 2 yrs. You name it we tried it! My ob/gyn decided to put me on Clomid 50mg days 5-9 then the Novarel 10000 shot. The only thing he found was borderline low prog. I got the shot on Friday Feb 1st then a +opk the next afternoon. We bd Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon using Pre-Seed. I had to wait 14 days after the shot to make sure it was out of my system before testing. I got my BFP on Feb 17th (16 days after the shot) which I believe was 14 or 15dpo.

1-7dpo No symptoms nada!
8 dpo Sharp pain on left side implantation?
9-12dpo Mild cramping
13-15dpo Nipples sore & still sore & noticed cervix high & soft. No period so I tested with fmu BFP!

For me the biggest sign was having little to no symptoms just like my first pregnancy with my son who is 2 1/2 now. My symptoms for my first pregnancy really didn't kick in til 5 or 6 weeks along. This pregnancy is the same way.

I wanted to share this for all of you ttc & feeling like you're losing hope. I stalked symptoms & methods/products anything I could find to try! It can happen for you! Don't ever give up!

I am so excited to share my own BFP story! My husband and I had been told that we had unexplained infertility. I never thought that I would have trouble getting pregnant as my periods have always been a standard 28 days and I get ovulation cramps, so I always knew that I was ovulating. After trying a a few months, I started doing ovulation tests just for peace of mind, which confirmed that I ovulated on the 14th day. After a year of trying, I saw my doctor to get his advice. I got a progesterone test done, which was fine (confirmed that I ovulated) and he did a cervical mucus swab which came back good and also showed to him how great my husband's sperm count was--my doctor actually brought me back to the microscope to look at it. He suggested that my next step would be to get an HSG done. Because my insurance didn't pay for it, we waited and tried with Pre-Seed for the next several months and then got the HSG done in October. The HSG was nothing worse than a PAP, so don't believe all of the stories that you read online. The HSG showed everything was all clear...no problems detected. He suggested Clomid to help me "super-ovulate" for a three month cycle. Month one=no luck, (Hubby began FertilAid for Motility because we figured it couldn't hurt) Month two=complete devastation after AF showed, Month three=Continued FertilAid, my husband's priest gave me a blessing and gave us icons of Anna and Elizabeth to put up in our house, I had people praying for us from my church, and I ate pineapple core on DPO 1-5. I got my BFP on Valentine's Day. This was the first month that I used a generic pregnancy test and I got a light positive line...took another and got the same thing. Went to get a blood test and it came back positive! I really had hardly any symptoms other than a shooting pain in my left breast that happened on 7DPO, but I don't know if that is related at all. We are so excited after it taking this long and just pray that everything is healthy and that all goes well...this is truly just the beginning! God is good!

I have been trying for like nine months now, and finally got my bfp. I took 3 tests yesterday and all came out positive and took another this morning and same, so I went for a blood test and same thing. Really so happy.
Symptoms: didn't really look into it tho
1 -3dpo- nothing
4-9dpo- headaches, breast pain, nausea
10-11dpo- breast pain and headache
13-14dpo- breast and nipple pain plus headache. took a test bfp

A bit of background information: me & my fiancé have been trying for a baby since October 2011. We got pregnant in February 2012 and were so excited; unfortunately I suffered a miscarriage at 11 weeks in April 2012, which I can honestly say is the worst thing I've ever experienced.
Since then I have been obsessed with getting pregnant again; brought opk, monitors, Pre-Seed and was taking prenatal vitamins. By October 2012 I was becoming really upset that this just wasn't happening for us and we went to see a specialist who did some blood work and discovered I wasn't immune to rebella so I had to have the injection & stop ttc for 3 months.
He also prescribed me clomid to help me ovulate as my periods were all over the place since the miscarriage, therefore making it impossible to gage when I'd ovulate.
Well the 3 months were up at the end of January but no sign of AF, which we needed to be able to start on the clomid.
So the BFP:
Actually felt ovulation pain this month which I have never felt before, got a positive opk so we did the baby dance straight away, I stayed in bed for about an hour afterwards with my hips elevated. We also used Pre-Seed.
1dpo: nothing
2-5 dpo: bbs getting sensitive on outer sides
6dpo: bbs mega sore, my mums dogs, who usually hates me & growls as soon as I walk in the door, actually came & cuddled up with me on the sofa & kept smelling my bits & my belly button!
7-9 dpo: sore bbs, very tired
10 dpo: sore bbs, mums dog came & sat with me again when I visited (biggest clue)
11 dpo: sore bbs, bfn using ovulation stick
12 dpo: sore bbs, BFP on first response test!!! So happy I jumped on my partner in bed & cried!
13 dpo: sore bbs, BFP on digital test!
I am now on day 14, bbs still hurt, hasn't really sunk in yet that I'm pregnant but I'm so excited I can't put it into words!
So to everyone out there ttc & reading messages like this every month, keep trying because it will happen for you, probably when you least expect it.
Sending heaps of baby dust your way xx

After 4 cycles I am pregnant!!!

What I did different?
Pre-Seed

No symptoms other than PMS - like symptoms. I tested one day before my period was supposed to arrive just because that night I was going out with my girlfriends and wanted to make sure it was okay to have a glass of wine.
I couldn't believe my eyes when a very faint positive line showed. I went out and bought a digital test....PREGNANT!

I cried like a little girl and stood home celebrating with DH.

I really didn't think this cycle was the one, I had no symptoms other than the usual ones before my period.

So keep positive and good luck to all!

Hi ladies... I've been on a long journey ttc#1. I've had 4 losses on the way, but I am not giving up hope that I will bring home my miracle baby.
My most recent m/c was 9 weeks ago, this is my 2nd cycle after m/c. This cycle I tried FertiliTea for the first time... and also started charting to pinpoint my actual o'day.
Cd12: positive opk (negative in the am - positive late at night)
Cd15: date of ovulation according to chart.
1dpo: nausea, bloated, acne (I always have nausea between ovulation and AF)
2dpo: nausea, bloated
3dpo: nausea
4dpo: nausea
5dpo: nausea, cramping
6dpo: nausea, cramping, runny nose, tested/bfn
7dpo: nausea, cramping, runny nose, sore breasts, light pink on tp just one time, tested/bfn
8dpo: nausea, cramping, runny nose, sore breasts, tested/bfn
9dpo: woke up and tested early, got very faint bfp... yay ; )
Now baby just needs to stick!
Good luck to you all xoxo

I'm 33 and Hubby is 36. We have three amazing children already. We got pregnant right away with all three, so I thought when we decided to go for one more it would just happen. It's been almost a year of trying and finally we got our bfp! I was starting to think that it just wasn't meant to be. I think the stress of trying and it not happening really was taking a toll on me. I finally this month gave up and didn't count and monitor days. Only thing I did was used Pre-Seed for the second month, which is great any way. So I was very shocked when I got bfp.

My symptoms were not noticeable. I just blamed it on my mind playing tricks on me or my kids. Now knowing and looking back I can say that it makes sense. I kept getting strong wiffes of smells most of them
Not so pleasant... I would automatically ask who did it? And it would be something out side. I got cold symptoms for a few days with no fever and I just figured on of my kids passed something lovely on to me. I was more tired than normal but I figured it was running around after kids that made me want to take naps and go to bed at 8. I'm normally leave the gas to the boys, but the last week I have been giving them a taste of their own medicine. Now I know why boys think its funny. I did feel a weird sensation in my breast and down there but figured af was getting ready to rear her nasty self.

I got a bfp three days before missed period just because I'm obsessed with peeing on sticks now a days. I used first response it was very light but was there. I waited two days and tested again and it was very clear!!! I still don't have many symptoms just tired and I can smell any thing from miles away.

Try relaxing and using Pre-Seed! It's the only thing I did different this time around.
Good luck lady's and don't loose hope.
Lots of baby juju to you all!!!!

Here is the post I had in the "Am I pregnant" Section at 11 dpo:
**************************************************************************
Positive OPK 2/8. BD 2/5, 2/9, and 2/10. Had terrible ovulation pains all day on 2/9. Before last month, I had a regular 26-27 day cycle. I was 8 days late last month (bummer..) so I really don't know how long my cycle will decide to be this month. So.. assuming I ovulated 2/9, here are my symptoms:

1-7 dpo- nothing of any concern
8 dpo- what could only be described to my DH as "twinges" in my left and right ovary. Not AF cramps, felt more like ovulation cramps
9 dpo- felt the "twinges" again, this time in what felt like the right ovary.
10 dpo- breasts felt a light burning sensation on the drive home. Then went away. Starting to cramp more AF like cramps.
11 dpo (today)- feeling AF like cramps. BD with husband and after O, AF cramps were stronger for a few moments. Currently feeling very regular AF cramps.
7-11 dpo- STARVING. cannot get enough food.
8-11 dpo- "dizzy" spells every now and then, maybe lasting for 10 seconds.
1-9 dpo- fairly dry cm
10,11 dpo- somewhat watery/mucousy cm. I do not produce a lot of CM naturally.
5-11 dpo- feels like sciatic nerve pain and lower left back pain

No nausea, no discolored cm, breasts feel fairly normal, nipples SLIGHTLY sensitive and get hard more often than usual. So... I don't really have any "pregnancy" symptoms. The cramps feel a little different this month and my breasts feel slightly off, but that's about it. We bd'd on what seem like the perfect days, so I think I feel like this is our month. If AF is regular, I should be due tomorrow or the next day. If not, I could be due 3-3. Feel free to comment and make me feel better.. As I type this, I cramp some more :(
**********************************************************************

I got my bfp at 13 dpo. I am now 17 dpo and have confirmed the pregnancy with the doctor. They say my beta levels were right where they needed to be at this stage in the pregnancy. The only other symptoms I have are sore breasts. They do not bother me when they are in a bra, but as soon as I free these 40G puppies, they are so tender! Haha. I have also had cramps since 11 dpo. They are mostly the dull crampy uterus cramps, but at times I can feel the pain in either ovary- I think. I feel gassy today, but that could be the broccoli. However, I do notice that my cramps are also in my back. I rarely get back cramps with my periods, but I have lower back cramps basically all day long. Oh, and I am pretty sure I have a sinus infection. It moved into my chest and I have yellow-ish mucus. My nose has been stopped up for days! The nurse told me to take mucinex.

Things we did: used preseed- externally and internally, used ovulation strips- I am lucky to have a very noticeable surge along with ovulation pain, took prenatal vitamins.

I was hesitant about posting my news on here (I didn't want to jinx myself!), but I stalked this site so much that I wanted to let all of you other ladies know about my symptoms before my BFP. I pray to God that he guides my husband and I through this pregnancy and blesses us with a healthy baby. There's my novel! I hope it helps some of you ladies! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!!

Ok, I am only posting this to encourage the ladies who have not gotten early results on their HPTs!

Here is the breakdown:

1-9 DPO: Nothing
10 DPO: A few waves of nausea, thought maybe because I was coming down with something.
11 DPO: Felt some more nausea, felt a cold coming on (both my husband and son had been sick so I was expecting this).
12 DPO: Felt OK, went to the gym, felt a little tired since I had a sore throat and was congested from the cold I definitely had!
13 DPO: BFN! So disappointed. Started to notice some odd stuff, though. Felt very thirsty and increased need to pee (first symptoms I had with my son) Still felt run down from the cold. Thought increased thirst was from the virus and my body needing more fluids. Boobs starting to hurt and inflate. Normal PMS stuff I figure.
14 DPO: Nothing to mention except my cold got worse and not better. Put me in a bad mood all day. Felt tired. Still thirsty. Boobs still hurt.
15 DPO: Cold is worse! Think it is turning into a sinus infection. Very bad mood and uncomfortable. Still thirsty... Boobs VERY sore today.
16 DPO: Expected AF. Go to doctor, most def a sinus infection. Get home from the doctor and feel queasy and dizzy. Assuming it is from the antibiotics. Still VERY thirst!!! Having some cramps, but really light. They come and go but they don't get as strong as regular AF cramps. Boobs not sore anymore, figure I am out.
17 DPO: AF never came yesterday, BFP!!! Today I am feeling mildly queasy but not bad. Feeling gassy and bloated, and yes, still thirsty! Boobs not really sore, but they are HUGE!!!

With my son I only got a *faint* BFP on day of expected AF, and only got a strong one on 3 days late. Don't assume you will get your BFPs on 10, 11, 12 DPO as so many lucky ladies do!

Good luck, ladies!!!

This post is for all of my ladies out there that have been struggling. To make a very... long story short My DH and I have been TTC for 2 years. We had a MC at 6 1/2 weeks in September. My betas never doubled and we knew at 5 weeks a MC was coming. We started fertility treatments in December. One undedicated IUI BFN. The next month was supposed to be 50 mg of clomid and an IUI. When I went in for an US on CD 12 I had 8 follicles! Rare reaction to 50 mg of clomid. The DR. said no sex. I was heart broken. I went home and decided considering I ovulated normally for two years and got pregnant once for a short time and DH morphology is 6% it was worth the risk of multiples (if I had PCOS I would not have made the same decision to be clear). That brings me to
Insanely bloated... still am from the 8 follicles…. was told it won't go away until the end of 1st trimester.
9 DPO - Super tired took a nap immediately after work.... but it was a stressful day .. BFN
10 DPO - REALLY tired took another nap after work and still went to bed at 8:00 BFN
11 DPO - Early morning test.. thought I was out.... but went back to the trash can... very very faint positive on dollar store.. tried First Response immediate positive.
first beta 81 ... progesterone 42
second beta 238! Doubling every 30 hours
5 week ultrasound perfect gestational sac.
Peeing all the time, sore BB, BLOATED, tired, I get hungry very quickly!

I know I needed stories like this throughout this journey. There is hope!!!!

I have also been doing acupuncture for about 4 months.

I am so happy to be writing my BFP story. I am praying for a healthy sticky bean! I am 40 y/o and I had a tubal reversal done on 12/13/12 and thought it would take a long time for my to get pregnant. Well Lo and behold, two months later here I am PG!!

I charted but didn't temp, I used Pre-seed and OPK's (digi smiley face ones) We BD the day before and the day after our + OPK but that was all we could fit in, so I wasn't holding out much hope. I had not a lot of symptoms that were very obvious.

Getting Betas done Monday, prayers are welcome :) Average cycle for me is 29-32 days luteal phase is 14-16 days

Here is my month in a nutshell :)

CD1-12 not much going on
CD13 EWCM starts up...BD that night use preseed and elevated hips for 10 min
CD14 EWCM and + OPK
CD15 EWCM BD that night used preseed and elevated hips for 10 min
CD16 Think I O'd this day but no O cramps or pinching so who knows
DPO1 nothing
DPO2-5 nothing
DPO6-9 some zingers in my boobs but not really sensitive
DPO10-11 AF like cramps off and on for two whole days, ( implantation??) test both days BFN
DPO12, cramps gone, no symptoms, BFN
DPO13, nothing and BFN
DPO14, very very faint line on FRER with FMU, think I'm seeing things, but notice breast sensitivity and very hungry
DPO15, Big BFP!! cramping on left side and BB's getting sore now, but not much else!!

Me 36 and my fiance 41 decided last Nov. to try for a baby.... well I got my BFP let me break down my symptoms (I'm typing on a smartphone so please excuse any errors)

I have a normal 28-31 day cycle, the last 3 months we didn't try anything other then BD around the time I think I O'd. I've never noticed any EWCM and read that sperm doesn't do well w/out it. So this month i brought an OpK and some Pre-Seed. We baby danced the morning of positive OPK and the day after.

Cd 14 bd...positive opk
Cd 15 bd... O'd I especially felt this one
1-4 dpo nothing really
5 dpo crampy
6dpo crampy
7 dpo crampy ....boobs getting sore
8 dpo crampy, sore boobs
9 dpo bfn crampy, sore boobs
10 dpo bfn crampy, sore boobs
11 dpo bfn with first response with fmu. Very very faint bfp with cheap blue dye family dollar test. I had another dollar tree test and took it a few hours later, a stronger but still very faint positive. I preceded to spend hours on the computer reading about how bad these test where. So I didn't get my hopes up. I bought two digital test, bfn that night and bfn 12 dpo fmu. After all of the studying about blue dye test... I came to the conclusion that I was pg but the digital didn't pick it up yet.

12 DPO hungry! Not pms cravings, but straight up HUNGRY. Peeing every hour on the hour, my boobs are killing me! Picked up a FRER test after work and got a very nice positive... no squinting!

I really thought i was out this month... I have been battling a bad tooth infection all month and taking tons of antibiotics. Two days ago I developed a bad abscess on that tooth. I thought no way I could conceive through all that! But sure enough.... I did.

To everyone on this site...you have all touched me in so many ways. I'm praying for your BFP's
