I got my BFP yesterday 8 DPO. I experienced my first symptoms at around 4 DPO, which was increased urination and tender breasts. I am currently experiencing hunger, increased urination, leg cramps at night, excessive thirst, dizziness, and tender breast. I used the cheapie dollar bin test from Walmart and it instantly came out positive. Super Excited!!!

Some notes about me - I am 37 years old, and my husband is 29. We got married in April, tried for 3 months starting in May, took a break for 1 month, and then tried again this past cycle and got our BFP! I have a 28-day cycle, and ovulate on day 14 or 15. I was taking 600mg of CoQ10, as well as Prenatal vitamins (Rainbow Light Prenatal One multivitamin and Rainbow Light DHA Smart Essentials) and extra folic acid. From CD1-ovulation I was also drinking green tea and taking Evening Primrose Oil. About a day after my positive OPK strip, I was pretty sneezy. I'm sure it could have been anything, but I just find it strange that I was sneezy that day, and really not any other time for the rest of the month. I really think that was my body's first reaction to conceiving!! My boobs also started hurting almost immediately, and they hurt a LOT. They hurt on the sides too, which was different. I was excited that they were sore, and wondered if maybe it could be due to conception, but I'd thought that before so I knew to be cautious. I had a headache for a couple days, and took some tylenol. During the 2 weeks I was also extremely tired (although work *always* makes me tired), had some back aches (my back is sore routinely though), and I had cramps (also very common for PMS). One night I had a BAD stomach ache and took some tums and used the heating pad. I wasn't sure what caused it. The symptoms that were definitely very off-kilter were that I lost 2 pounds the morning I was supposed to get my period (and I NEVER lose weight the day AF is due!!!) and I hadn't gotten a slew of zits. My face actually cleared up! Of course, as with every cycle, this past one I went to the websites that allow you to calculate your due date based on the start of your last peroid and length of your cycle and my due date was on MY BIRTHDAY!!!! On top of that, a few times during the week when I looked at my digital clock by my bed, the time was the "date" of my due date / birthday. I couldn't help wondering and hoping that was a sign.

I was also always very HOT during the 2 week wait - I kept having to turn the A/C down at night and kept kicking off the blankets. I was hot during the day as well. I was also very, very thirsty and drinking a ton of water. This is very unusual for me, as I am usually not thirsty and wishing I didn't have to drink so much liquid. I was chugging the water down and couldn't seem to get enough. I also felt like I could be getting a UTI - it felt tingly when I'd pee. And I was peeing a LOT, and waking up in the middle of the night several times to go. The extra need to pee felt more like I just had to go all the time, rather than just because I was drinking more water. I was also eating more, although I didn't feel especially hungry - I just seemed to want to keep eating (pretty normal for me for PMS though). I didn't have that hormonal spike that I get the day or so before AF strikes though. One final symptom I noticed was sense of smell. I didn't notice smelling things too much, but one night after my husband had gotten a shower, he put out his hand to pet our kitty who was sitting in my lap, and I could smell the soap from the shower on his hand. It was STRONG.

The day before AF was due (Sat. Oct. 6) I decided to use the free pregnancy test dip strip that came with my Answer OPK. I used it that night and got a very very faint 2nd line about 14-15 minutes after dipping the stick in my pee, and since you're not supposed to read the strip after 15 minutes, I didn't put too much stock in the peestick. Still, I couldn't help being hopeful. On the day AF was due (Sun. Oct. 7), my husband and I did some morning baby-dancing, went to do a short hike and went to pick apples. We came home with a half-bushel of apples that we'll eat plain and use to make caramel apples and apple crisp. Mmm I love fall cooking!! When we got back home, it was about 4:00, and I still didn't have any sign that AF was coming. I hadn't seen a trace of blood all day!! Both hubby and I were exhausted from our day out, so I fell asleep on the couch for an hour. After that, I got a bath. When the bath was done, I coudn't take waiting anymore, so we went to picke up a 2-per-pack of the First Response Early Result dye pregnancy tests, and 2-per-pack of the Clear Blue digitals. When we got home, my husand asked if I wanted him to wait or if he could take a shower. I told him to go ahead. I could tell he was nervous. I had also checked my phone and there was a message from our wedding pastor, so I thought that was a good sign. He said he'd been praying for us (he knows we were TTC). I took one of the FRER tests, and a faint 2nd line came up within the 10-minute window. I was ecstatic!!! I ran into the bathroom while my husband was showering and told him I was pregnant while he was soaping up!! LOL

I was so happy all night. I wasn't quite sure I believed it though. I decided to wait until Tuesday morning (Oct. 9) to take the 2nd FRER test to confirm it, and when I did, the line was definitely there, although it still was only about half as dark as the control line. But I guess I believed it. BFP!!!!! I didn't really feel any different though other than sore boobs. On Wed. I took the digital test and it said pregnant. That was pretty clear-cut, so it was starting to sink in!

I am so excited to finally get to post my BFP story after reading them constantly for the last few months! I am 37, will be 38 in two weeks:) I have 2 children from a previous marriage that are 15 and 16. Getting pregnant with them was "too" easy lol Both were wonderful whoopsies! Fast forward to now and my husband and I have been praying and trying for a baby for the past year. Honestly we only got serious about 6 months ago and for the last 4 months I have been tracking my ovulation and periods religiously but for the last 12 months we have been BDing with the hopes of getting pregnant. I have an appointment on 10/31 to discuss possible infertility. Now I get to change it to a prenatal visit!

As far as symptoms, I did not have ANY that were noticeable until a few days ago. I honestly thought I was definitely going to start my period because I was really crampy. But the last two days I have had really tight and sore lower back pains and my cramps have been sharper rather than a deep ache. Today I have had a pretty bad headache all day and I never get headaches. My BB's are just now beginning to get sore, more like they are more noticeable and tingly with some random sharp pains. Other than that, I feel pretty good!

I took a test yesterday at 14 DPO FMU and watched it for a few minutes and once I saw that it was negative (or so I thought) I put it on the counter and walked away. I may have looked at it a couple times through out the day but did not see anything but the one control line. So...last night I was watching TV and my hubby was doing the dishes and he yelled over to me "hey baby, have you seen your PG test? It shows a really bright False positive." I got up to look at it and almost fell over...two very dark very pink lines. I have had plenty of evap lines (grayish lines, no color) that I would make myself believe that I was pregnant only to be disappointed when I started my period a couple of days later. We were cautiously optimistic but decided if I had not started by the next day we could retest. Well I retested at about 1 pm today with urine I tried to hold for a couple hours and low and behold a faint but very clear Positive!! We feel so blessed and amazed!!

This month I paid very close attention to when I ovulated. I have an app on my phone that tells me my predicted O day plus when I am fertile. I backed that up with OPT's. We BD'ed each day for 4 days before ovulation, on ovulation day (positive OPT) and 2 days after. We were very "busy" but I believe that did the trick! Thanks for letting me my share my FINALLY BFP story! Baby dust to everyone trying!

Hello ladies I'm so happy to FINALLY be able to post my BFP story.. I am truly a living witness that if you just let go and let God everything will happen in due time. Here's my story.. I had a Mirena in place for 5 years and once I had it removed (Sept 11) I started with the Nuva ring until the end of the year. Jan I had withdrawal bleeding and Feb I had what I thought would be a normal period (I used to be a 28 day girl) I had a cycle but I found from month to month they were irregular.. DH and I started trying in Feb with no avail.. I have a 9 year old daughter from a previous relationship now 9 cycles later (9/14) I'm pregnant with my second child and his 1st.. Here are a few of my symptoms
OD-10/2 BD
DPO- 1-5 Nothing
DPO-6 hungry and heartburn
DPO-7 EXTREME hunger,heartburn,blew my nose and blood on tissue.
DPO-8 Nothing
DPO-9-13 Insatiable HUNGER!!!!! Slight spot of red in EWCM (implantation?) Boobs are REALLY sore w/ shooting pains.
DPO-14 (expected cycle 10/16) Angry, Starving,Sore boobies, constant bathroom breaks.

I kept feeling like something was up tested when I got home... Is that a faint BFP...Yes it is EEKKKK!

DPO-15 Test w/ FMU another faint BFP... OMG can this really be happening..

Went to wal mart before work to grab another couldn't wait til later.Took it on one of my many bathroom breaks... BFP!!!!!!
Went to Dr today confirmed pregnancy and I'm 4 weeks and 2 days.. DH and I are over the moon.. He's waited and wanted for so long I am happy to be able to carrying this little bundle of joy.. For those of you that are still trying Keep your Faith God has a plan for you. Baby dust to you all!!

Hello all,

I loved reading all these stories while TTC, even though I though it would never happen to me...well it has and I am very happy. Unfortunately my cycle was a bit messed up this month (only 2nd month off the pill) so I don't really know when I ovulated so everything I write here is approximate!

DPO 1-7: Cramping (I thought at the time it was ovulation cramps, but evidently it was something else) Dry CM. Nothing else.
DPO 8ish: Wake up in the middle of the night with strong menstrual cramps, stomach ache and hot flash.
DPO 10: Very faint positive line, which then disappears. I assume it was an evap.
DPO 11: Two more tests: two more faint lines. They do not disappear.
DPO 12: Much stronger faint line.
DPO 13: Two even stronger, though still faint lines. Sore breasts and mild cramps...like PMS but nowhere near as bad!

I bought the strips off amazon (uk) for next to nothing (5 pounds for 50!), sensitivity 10 mui/L. Definitely recommended for those of you who can't wait till a missed period to test.

After three years of trying on and off (hubby is in military so is gone a lot!), I finally got my positive :) I have very irregular cycles so have no idea when I ovulated, but I tested positive much sooner than I was anticipating. The first test I used was $ store and it was left over from previous months. I tried it in the afternoon expecting it to be stark white like usual but as I was staring at it, I started to notice a very faint line. Not sure if it was my imagination, I took a picture of it to see if it would show on the camera darker that way. It didn't lol. Then I stared at it for a few more minutes so about 10 minutes total and saw a faint but visible pink line! I was sooo happy and surprised. I kept looking at it in different lighting to make sure it was still there. I called and told my hubby and he stopped by the store on the way home to buy the Clear Blue digital test to confirm. I decided to wait until the next morning but couldn't sleep so made it until about 0430 and POAS again. It read "Pregnant" after about 1 minute!
Although I thought I had symptoms every month, what was different about this month is that I have had really bad gas and lots of weird feelings in my chest/abdomen area in general. Heart burn, pulling sensations, and very bloated. I was always hungry but after a few bites would feel gross and full and have to lay on my left side to get comfortable. Also, my right nip was very sore and my right boob is sore and has become noticeably larger than the left one. As much as I tried in the past to think my nips or boobs were sore, they were nothing like this!
Also, I wasn't keeping track of anything this month really and had just started a new job so was busy and distracted. It was all natural.
Hang in there ladies! It WILL happen for you :)

I feel so blessed to be pregnant already as i had my reservations about our chances. Me and DH are both overweight and I have heard this can cause problems. I am glad to say this cannot be a reason as i got my very first BFP 2 days ago! Still not sunk in and haven't told anyone yet! This site was great for helping me gooo craaaaxzzyyy so here i go...

Sticky baby dust everyone!

Hello all you lovely ladies! So excited to share my BFP news with you all, since this site was so helpful during my antsy two-week wait! I kept careful track of all my symptoms, and got my BFP at 5:30 this morning at 13 DPO! My husband and I feel very, very blessed.
My cycles are pretty regular, usually about 25 days long. I have very noticeable eggwhite CM when I ovulate, so we BD on that day and the day after. From there, here is how my symptoms played out:

Terrible headache and food aversion, 2dpo
Right side ovulation pain, 3 dpo
Small flutters/twinges/electrical charges in lower belly, 4-6 dpo
Scratchy throat, slightly stuffy nose, felt like cold was coming but never really did 4-6 dpo
Terrible dry eye feeling, 6 dpo
Trouble staying asleep in early am, (could just be my racing mind!) 5 and 6 dpo
Small amount of thick discharge, 6 dpo
More noticeable cramps all day, more in evening, 7dpo
Tender, sore breasts, few slightly bloody nose blowing results, 7dpo
Breast less sore, but mild cramping throughout the day, overall fullness in lower belly, 2 sharp pains in vagina today, 8dpo
Very vivid dream overnight, slight right side cramping throughout morning, evening cramps on left side, terrible mood, clear-to-cloudy/yellow cm, 9 dpo
Woke up feeling like AF was coming, generally icky pre-period belly all day, clear cm, (I am usually very dry just before my period), 10 dpo
Woke up really expecting period due to overall icky belly; feels like day 1 of my period all day long, dry eyes in afternoon, full, bloated feeling, feels like period is about to flow, 11 dpo
AF due today; Feels like first day of period, crampy and a bit icky; terrible diarrhea; bought pregnancy tests!
BFP!!!!!, 13 dpo

Hope this helps someone out there, I sure loved reading all of your posts these past two weeks. Praying for a sticky baby!
Babydust to you all! XO

This is the first time I have ever posted anything on any bulletin board/website! But, these stories have helped me feel "in control" during the crazy two week wait, so I am hoping someone will get some sense of peace from reading mine.

I have a 2 yr old DD conceived first try! I got pregnant again in June of this year (2nd cycle trying) but I had my first miscarriage (natural mc at 8 weeks) at the end of August. I got my first period 33 days later (my pre-miscarriage cycles were 27-29 days) on 22 Sept. (We tried to get pregnant right away, but didn't succeed.) Well, I am currently CD 31 and got my first BFP! I am not sure how many dpo I am because I don't know exactly when I ovulated. I got a "smiley face" on a clearblue digital opk on CD 12 and CD 14 and a negative on CD 13. I stopped testing after my second smiley face on CD 14, but I probably shouldn't have because I think I ovulated later than that based on when I got my BFP. I got a BFN on FRER on CD 24 and CD 27. I didn't test between CD 27 and today (CD31) because I was too scared... but, finally, the symptoms were too convincing so I was pretty confident I was pregnant. We DTD on CD 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, and 24. Here are the symptoms:
CD 24 BFN (I thought it was 10 dpo, but it obviously wasn't)
CD 27 BFN with FRER (I was crushed)
CD 28 slight cramps
CD 29 heavy cramping in the morning, two short bouts of nausea, headache, fever in the evening, flu-like symptoms
CD 30 felt like AF was going to come any second. Felt very wet down there. Ran to the bathroom and checked about every hour.
CD 31 bb pain, heartburn, headache, still feel wet, cramping has slowed down some, but still getting twinges. cramps in lower calf.
Good luck everyone!
Some other things I did this cycle: Took FertileCM and used Pre-Seed. Not sure if either of those made a difference as I seem to be pretty fertile. (Got pregnant with my DD first cycle trying and it took me 2 cycles to get pregnant this time and last time (the one I lost).) I also stressed a lot...so, it didn't prevent anything for me!

I don't have the exact details as far as symptoms DPO because I honestly don't know when I ovulated this month! I just finished breastfeeding my son at the end of August, and I have only had AF twice since delivering my son in August 2011. My cycle seemed a little off, but I did get ovulation pain around the middle of the month both times - so I just assumed I was ovulating again and we could start trying for baby #2. My cycle was 27-28 days and I was getting O pain on Day 17. This past month, we BD'ed all 4 days prior to the day I got the ovulation pains the month before. I was expecting to get pains on day 17, however, no pain came this month, and I really didn't have any EWCM, which is weird for me because I almost always have some kind of sign that I'm ovulating. I really thought I was out this month, and told my husband we should try using OPK's the next month. I wanted to share some of my symptoms during the tww in case this helps anyone else - as I know I decided to take a test after reading stories on this site!

Symptoms - again, not exactly sure when I ovulated this month since I don't use products, but here they are:
CD 19 - cramps/burning in low belly at before bed. maybe implantation?
CD20 - two pimples on my neck - gross and never has happened before..
CD 20-25 - bloating, gas, stomach constantly making noises. I thought this was weird since I have a very strong stomach, and I haven't eaten anything out of the ordinary. Bloating/gurgling noises continued for five days.
CD 25-27 - diarrhea in the AM only. After reading some of these posts, I took that as a good sign, and decided to take a test the day before my expected period and I got a faint positive. I took another test the day after I missed my period and got a stronger positive. AF never came!

These tww symptoms were different than my first pregnancy. With my first, I experienced low/dull back pain during implantation, sore bbs and sharp pains in the sides of bbs as I got closer to missed AF, and a fever. The only thing that was the same was the diarrhea a couple days before missed AF. So maybe that is my only consistent sign!

Good luck to everyone else!

Hi, all! DH and I decided in September to start actively trying for #1. I went off of the pill in July 2012, but waited until September to start trying so that I could return to my regular cycles. I've got no history of fertility problems, and AF comes with alarming regularity each month (27 day cycle). I O'd on or around 9/16 (I didn't chart or BBT--I can usually tell when I O because of the type of CM), so we BD'd 9/10, 9/12, 9/14, 9/15 and 9/16. Then:

6-8 DPO: crampy, like I was expecting my period. Light cramps on and off.
8 DPO: Acne breakout (usually this doesn't come until RIGHT before AF, but that was over a week away at this point!)
9-12 DPO: super tired. I came home pretty much every day after teaching and took a nap, then had no trouble falling back asleep at 10 PM. Very, very gassy. Felt as if I needed to poop--when I did poop, it was soft, not like normal. My stomach hurt and I began to have little or no appetite. On 11 DPO, I felt so nauseous; I almost barfed on a student (but didn't--I haven't actually thrown up yet).
12 DPO: took a test with FMU and got a BFN. Disappointed, but figure maybe I'm still too early along to have enough HCG in my pee yet. Feel definitely pregnant.
13 DPO: still felt nauseous (no barfing yet) with very little appetite. Stomach felt heavy. No sore boobs--odd for me at this point in my cycle. Don't want to test until Monday (which would be 15 DPO), but DH insists on buying some new tests (he was SO excited!!!). I agreed to POAS, but wanted to wait until the next morning, so I could get FMU. Again, DH wheedled me into POAS late that night. And guess what? A BFP (faint but still there)!! I was so excited!! I had felt pregnant for several days, but it was so weird to have confirmation of what I'd been feeling.
14 DPO: tested with FMU to reassure myself. Still BFP! Shared the news with just our parents and siblings.

I was the most shocked of all that we conceived the first month that we tried. I figured the statistics were against us, but I guess this little baby wants to arrive next summer. :)

I'm 7 weeks along now (10/23), and the morning sickness is kicking in big time. I am so excited to meet my little baby in June 2013!

I just got a BFP this afternoon, I'm still in shock!

For the past few months I thought it was the one then af would show!

This month I had tingly feeling in my breasts and feeling hungry as soon as I woke!

I was 3 days late for my af, I had no cm, really sensitive nipples and breasts! So much so that my clothes would really irritate them and I would get angry!

I tested this afternoon 15 dpo, thinking that it would be a negative and to my surprise it was positive! I'm still in shock, were so happy!!!!! It's amazing!!

Good luck to everyone ttc, I hope you get your BFP! :-D

I am so excited to share my BFP story. I have been on this site reading others stories for several months now. Every month I was determined that I was pregnant only to be let down with AF showing up right on time.
Every month I have had so many symptoms, everything you can imagine.
This month was so different. Honestly I did not think I would get a BFP because it was so different. I have not felt anything at all. Usually my boobs are very sore, bad cramping, acne, and sore abd.
This month I have had only acne all the time with a few off the wall things here and there.
We BD the day before ovulation, twice on O day and the day after.
4 DPO I had 2 strong cramps in the evening.
8 DPO I noticed that I had a small amount of EWCM (that was very odd).
13 DPO I had a really sharp pain on the side of my right boob.
After that I really felt like I was out. I was not feeling anything at all.
15 DPO my period was due and nothing
16 DPO I got my BFP!!!
I wanted to post this to let everyone know that the only thing my DH and I did was pray that God would bless us with a baby if it were his will. I have read so many stories of couples trying for months and even years and it really had me worried that it might be that way for us. I pray everyday that those of you that are TTC will get your blessing from God soon.
Also remember that you don't always have symptoms. That is what put me through the loop was not having any of the symptoms like I did in the previous months.
Good luck and God bless with lots of baby dust to all!!

I am so pleased to share that I got my first bfp today! Still in shock. I tested yesterday and 14 dpo, (or at least that is what my chart says but I think I ovulated later), with a dollar tree brand and got the faintest line ever. Like you had to squint and turn it at the right angle to even see a thing! I posted it on canyouseetheline.com and 44 percent said they could see it and 44percent said they were unsure. It's a cool site. This morning I ran out and tested with first response. Two very visible lines.

I didn't start to feel sore boobs until like one week ago.

FYI: This is my second month trying. We used Pre-Seed this time and bam!

Doctors say you don't exp. pregnancy symptoms until implantation occurs but I have to disagree. I began having symptoms at around 5dpo. People can call me dramatic but I know my body. Something felt different.

1 to 4 dpo- Nothing
5dpo- Tender Breast, slight movement in my abdomen.
6dpo- Tenderness in my breast still and lots of pull and twitches in my lower abdomen.
7dpo- Slight cramping in my lower abdomen and gassy, sharp pains in my breast on occasion.
8dpo- Slight pulls in my lower abdomen and very gassy (TMI).
9dpo- BFP!!!! Very faint line on First Response Early Results test.
10dpo- Didn't test.. All the same symptoms.
11dpo- "Positive" on First Response Gold Digital Test.

Hi All,

So my husband and I started TTC last month (September) and we got our BFP this month (October) :)
My cycles are around 30-32 days and are regular.
CD1 27th September
BD'd lots this month, especially during the fertile days where we BD'd everyday. Used OPK and determined LH surge occured at CD18 (so ovulated at CD 19, 15th October - 2 weeks prior to expected AF)
As far as symptoms:
1-6 DPO - Nothing
7-11 DPO - Gassy and very irritating eye twitches (though not sure if eye twitches are a symptom?)
Faint line at 9 DPO using FRER
Faint but darker line at 10 DPO using FRER
And again faint but darker line at 11 DPO using FRER. Went to the doctors today at 11DPO took a test there and got a faint positive, but confirmed that it still meant preggers :D She recommended I come in again in 2 weeks and gave me a bunch of pregnancy pamphlets to read.

Things we did differently this time round:
*Used Pre-Seed Lubricant
*Used OPK. Didn't realize last month that I ov'd 14 days prior to AF as I was counting 14 days into cycle (last month).
*Stayed lying down after BD and put a pillow underneath my hips

All the best to those TTC!!!

xx

I have been trying for so so long and reading these stories kept me going throughout, miscarried 2 months ago at 5 weeks, now happy to say I am pregnant again :) Here are my symptoms:

4dpo Sore boobs
5dpo Sore boobs, sharp pain down right side (implantation)
6dpo Sore boobs
7dpo Sore boobs, strong metal taste, started to feel under weather with cold symptoms
8dpo Still sore boobs (actually not mentioning boobs again, they are still sore now), more sharp pains on right side, feeling ill still sore throat, runny nose, yummy coleslaw!! Ate half a tub with a spoon out of fridge...hmm could I be pregnant! Didn't think I ovulated properly this month.
9dpo Backpain started, vivid dreams (still have both of these), bit constipated.
10-13dpo All of the above nothing new
14dpo All of the above and some fertile CM! Spots errr, 3 big ones on face grrr
15-16 dpo 5 faint positives, done so many to see if they get darker as I am panicking since miscarrying recently. They are getting slightly darker each time.

Baby dust to you all, healthy babies :)

I am SO happy to be writing on here having followed everyone's posts this month and wondering if it could be me one day! We only decided to start trying this month and we're completely shocked how its turned out! DID NOT EXPECT IT and CANNOT AFFORD IT LOL!

Here goes:

CD 13, 14, 15 - Followed Fertility Friend's prediction re fertile time so BD every day - DH was very happy :)
CD 14 & 15 - LH surge. BD.
CD 16 CD - Negative LH surge, Fertility Friend says I ovulated. DH and I had a rest that evening ;)

1 - 6 DPO - Cramps almost immediately after Fertility Friend's ovulation prediction, sore boobs and prickly nipples, tired. Got a flu/cold but something told me not to take medication. BD.
7 DPO - Feeling very tired, cramps, sore boobs and prickly nipples, cold still there. Baaaad mood (thought it was the frustration of the 2ww!). BFN on Clearblue strips. Got drunk at a friends house. Very bad trapped wind.
8 DPO - Still tired, bad mood, arguing with DH over silly things (we don't argue like that). BFN which upset me even though I knew it was too early. Bad cramps thought AF on way soon. Had a Brandy.
9 DPO - Keep waking up in the night and can't get back to sleep. BFN. Had a Brandy.
10 DPO - BFN. Really weird nauseated feeling, dry mouth, on and off appetite, cramps exactly like period pains to the point I had to keep going to the bathroom to check. Burping a lot. Really bad mood, PMS symptoms poor DH! weed a lot (for me) that day.
11 DPO - BFN am - starting to become obsessed with testing! Faint faint faint line on First Response that afternoon. DH could not see it so I got upset. Felt very tired and had a headache. Felt like I was in a dreamy place, tingly eyes, strange nauseated feeling, cramps and almost felt a tiny tiny movement in my womb for a split second. Pains stopped when I sat still. Slept well that night. Weed a lot that day.
12 DPO - BFN in the morning (5am). Very crampy and nauseated just like AF was due. Dry mouth, soft headache and stingy eyes. Prickly boob thing has returned. Creamy mucus has appeared so I start obsessing about that. BFN 3 hours later (I know!) looked a bit darker so pulled thing test apart and compared the strip to the one I had done in the morning. It looked darker and hooray DH agreed but said it was ridiculously faint. 3 hours later I bought a Clear Blue Digital to stop all this messing about - BFP!!!!!!! "Pregnant 1-2 weeks." Shocked shocked shocked!!! Now nipples are sore and I still have cramps (as if AF will come even though she isn't likely to!) and I LOVE it! Still have my cold too. No more Brandy!

MASSIVE LUCK to all of those who are waiting xxx

I have a little girl turning 2 in 4 days! We were not even trying but one night after sex I was online looking up stuff about ovulation. Come to find out after using an ovulation calculator I was ovulating that night! So I began stalking this site just waiting to take a test, not really thinking anything would happen. I began taking tests @ 5dpo! Don't try it. Big waste of money! This morning I got up and used my trusty frer and after 2 min it came out bfp but extremely faint. So of course I did not believe it. This evening I took another one and another bfp! Btw, I used the rite aid brand e r that come in the pink box thinking they were fr knock offs. They are not @ 8 dpo I took them and got blue evaps within the time frame and I know that bc the next day I took a frer and bfn! So steer clear ladies!

I found this board when we were TTC with DS a little less than two years ago and it was addicting and awesome to read everyone's TWW stories. I'm back again, just got a BFP this morning! This is our third month TTC but the first two I was super sick with a cold and was living on Nyquil 24/7. This month I tried not to think about TTC and keep busy. My last AF was 9/27 and my cycle is regular at 30 days. We BD almost every other day from the 2nd till 14th... and then again on the 19th. I was thinking I was a late O girl so we had one more shot. I thought we were out this month and had OPK and Pre-Seed in my Amazon shopping cart for next month but no need!!

Symptoms- Last pregnancy I found out I was PG because my BBs were SO incredibly sore.... so this is what I was expecting but have had NO BBS soreness at ALL! The week before my BFP I noticed I couldn't finish a glass of wine for the life of me. I would have a sip each night and that's all.... which is so unlike myself. Also, I was DONE at 7pm and in bed two days in a row. Two days before missing AF I had brown spotting and I thought for sure AF was on her way... I NEVER spot so when she didn't show up I figured something was up.

We also used Pre-Seed because it's amazing and I think it works amazing... we used it on the first PG and got a BFP the first month. Also, I started taking my gummy prenatals two months ago to get myself ready.

Other than that, relax, enjoy BD and TTC and it WILL happen to all of you!! ~*~*~baby dust to all~*~*~*
