Hello all! FInally after years of trying I get to share my BFP story. There was a time where I really felt like I'd never look down and see that second line.
I feel so humbled and blessed right now :-)

1-6 DPO - Nothing
7-DPO - Constipated, began developing a head cold
8-DPO - Stuffy nose, slight cramping
9-DPO - Stuffy nose, sore throat, heat flash during the night, constipated (still)
10-DPO - Stuffy nose, tingly nips, swollen bbs, not so much the bbs and the nips though. They burned and ached with nothing touching them (normally they only hurt before AF is something touches them)
11-DPO - Stuffy nose, headache, super bit*hy, poor OH. Super hungry
12-DPO - BFN W/FMU... thought it was over. Stuffy nose, sore chest
13-14 DPO - Same as above. More frequent trips to the bathroom, 14dpo had a dream I got a positive test and a woman told me I was PG.
15-DPO - BFP!!!!! sill sore nips, cold symptoms are going away, heart palpitations, headache.

Good luck all!!!

I have been reading these wonderful stories for a while now and am ready to share mine.
I had a miscarriage a year ago and was not ready to try again until now. It took us 3 months and now God has blessed us.
I got a positive opk on the 17th and my chart says I didn't ovulate till the 21nd (4 day diff?). So I covered all my days anyway. Sex before and after positive opk.
Within a couple days of ovulation, I had never ending cramps and super sore boobs. I tried to live normally till 8 dpo when I could not wait any longer.
I bought a dollar tree prego test and took it at a random moment.
It was POSITIVE right away!!!
My dpo count could be wrong though. I may be closer to 11 or 12 days. I say this because I am counting from the day I got my positive opk. But according to my chart, I am 8 dpo.
The real differences I have made this time around was to exercise lightly, eat pretty well, and I started taking my prenatal vitamins when we started trying.
I pray this pregnancy goes all they way.
sprinkling sticky baby dust to all you trying.
God Bless

I'm so excited to be able to report my very own BFP, after reading so many other people's stories and just clinging to the hope that one day it would be me.

Hubbie and I had been trying for 4 months with no luck so decided to get a Clearblue Ovulation Predictor which we have used for the last 3 months, making sure to BD on High and Peak days. For the last 2 months we have also been using Pre-Seed.

A little background about my cycle. I am a spotter, starting to spot 5/6 days before my period is due. I have a very regular 29 day cycle. I always have ovulation cramps and bleed when I ovulate, so I know exactly when O day is. However, this month was a little different.

The first week of my cycle I picked up a very nasty tummy bug. I still had the runs when the Clearblue started to report 'high' fertility, and it continued to report 'high' for 6 days. This is unusual - normally after 4 days it turns to 'peak'. I put it down to my illness messing with my hormones. We didn't BD any of these days as I was quite ill. Then the 'peak' 2 days finally appeared and we BD'd using Pre-Seed either once or twice daily both days and the following day (just to be sure!). I kept my hips up for 10 mins afterwards, I can't do any longer than that as I am very prone to cystitis and have been advised to pee immediately after BD'ing!

I had no ovulation bleed and I couldn't tell about the cramping because my stomach was pretty crampy anyway :( I was worried that the Clearblue might have got it wrong, as it was outside my normal pattern and I had a niggling thought that perhaps I hadn't ovulated at all this month. According to the Clearblue I ovulated on CD 15 (I normally ovulate on CD 13).

After this we had a normal week, my tummy bug cleared up and I had no symptoms at all. Then 6 days after ovulation I had some cramping, like very light period pain (implantation?). 10 days after ovulation I had further light cramps, and that feeling that AF was on her way. However, it was 5 days too early for AF and I hadn't started spotting yet. This was my main clue - I didn't spot the following day either and this make me realize I was 'late' (for the spotting if not for AF!) Hubbie wanted me to wait another couple of days before testing as I was still 3 days early for AF and he didn't want me to be disappointed again, but I couldn't resist and got a First Response out the next morning (about 5am as I couldn't sleep!) - BFP! I ran into the bedroom and woke hubbie up to tell him the exciting news. I did another test the following morning, this time a Clearblue Plus, and BFP again!

One other clue was that my bbs didn't get sore, at all, and normally they would get very sore around the time that I start spotting. I also noticed that my areola looked slightly darker. To be honest I had a lot fewer 'symptoms' this month than I have other months when I've not been pregnant, it was more an absence of symptoms that made me suspicious!

Really really good luck to everyone TTC, don't give up hope! Especially if you are a spotter, I was worried that my lining was breaking down to early and I would need progesterone supplements, but obviously this wasn't the case.

OD - 15
6Dpo - Light cramping
10Dpo - Cramping, no spotting
11Dpo - Cramping, no spotting, darker areola
12Dpo - Cramping, no spotting - BFP!
13Dpo - Cramping, no spotting - BFP again!

This was the second cycle TTC for me and my hubby of two years. I am 9 dpo today and the test came back with a beautiful set of bright pink lines! WOO HOO!

0dpo: Typical O cramps.

1-6dpo: Nothing, nada, zilch.

7dpo: Nips are noticeably larger and VERY perky, became irritable and snapped at hubby for no good reason. Slightest hint of BFP? No, couldn't be.

8dpo: Sore BBs, only on the sides, legs are aching miserably, became ravenously hungry at dinner time and ate two full dinners plus snack and dessert!

9dpo: Achy feeling in uterus (way too soon for my usual AF cramps), BBs more tender, weepy, and HUNGRY. Took Dollar Tree test with FMU and got BFP!!! Took another test in evening when hubby got home and it was even DARKER!

No implantation bleeding, cramps, or CM changes. So there is hope for us all!

Had to write as I have been on here every day for the past 5 months..

No opk/no temping, actually thought I was out this month as I had a few cramps at the start of the week. So much so that I ordered an opk online : )

Two weeks ago I woke up with a heavy full feeling in lower tummy like I constantly needed to pee, thought it was a UTI, went to the doctors who told me there was no infection, that's when I thought this might be it!

Other then that no other symptoms other then I started craving oranges and orange juice like first pregnancy, must need the vitamin c...

Took a test 2 days before period was due saw a very faint line thought it might be an evap. Next day another faint line. Tried again today the line is now pink...

We're so happy baby dust to all xxx

Hi all, I can't believe I'm writing my story. A little bit of history about my self: it's been a year and two months since I lost my son, he was a still birth at 38 weeks. I shut down after him for 8 months. Then after that me an DH started TTC. We were lucky, after two months I got my BFP and I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks so that was 31/08/2012. I waited for one cycle, which was 01/09/2012, then tried ttc again so 04/10/2012 was my Lmp so let me break down my 2weeks. I think I ovulated around the 15th, 16, 17. BD
Oct 20 - pain on the left ovary gassy and bloated.
Oct 21 - bloated loads of gas sharp pain in the uterus twinges in the uterus until 26th
Oct 22-23 - itchy on my bikini line get full quickly.
Oct 24 - got heart burn after supper this was it for me I never get heartburn unless I'm pregnant.
Oct 25 - sensitive belly button, fuller chest but not sore got a headache after sex.
Oct 26-30 - been bloated,vivid dreams pain on my BB.
Oct 31 - diarrhea all day stomachache, insomnia very restless at night went out and buy chepie preg test.
Nov 01 - Test first urine this morning. BFP and I was suppose to my get period today and now it's afternoon... still haven't told Dh yet but supper happy. I was nauseous all morning and getting hungry quickly. I would say we got lucky we always get preg on first cycle by the way I'm 24 and DH 28.

I can't believe it!!! YAY!!!!!!! I am so excited to be typing this!! I held out on testing until 12dpo because all I had were FR and I could bare wasting all that money on BFN's. But anyways...here's the details

Me- 26, 1 child who is 6 years old
Him- 25

Us- NTNP for 3 months... nada. "Tried" this month and succeeded!

I ovulated 2 days earlier- only know because I had loads of EWCM and sore boobs the next day
1-3dpo - Sore BB's - normal

4dpo- Tender BB's and O like sharp cramp - normal

5dpo- Bloating, tired, heartburn, gas, sore BB's - All pretty much normal

6-7dpo- BB's and nausea - Normal

8dpo- Creamy CM and threw up, not normal, BB's sore - Normal

9dpo- Same as 8, but Wet CM

10dpo- Sore BB's normal, at the park with friend and I not only smell a poopy diaper from 20 yards away but could identify whose poop it was! Nasty!! Still feel out- look up preg test, ov tests, and fertility vitamins online.

11dpo- Weird cramps during Trick or Treat, Woke up at night very Dizzy...so strange, back molars were sore. BB's Less sore :( I'm out

12dpo- BB's not sore- Not normal (usually hurt till AF), boss tries to take me to get flu and dtap shot, but I just have a feeling like I shouldn't. Slightly dizzy... Hmmm... Take a $ store test... is that a freaking line? Sooo faint. Don't want to waste the FR so I take another $ store test...totally BFP. Break out the big guns and get a FAST and DARK BFP on the FRER <3

I have also been in a good mood, I usually

Hi everyone! Congrats to everyone who has finally gotten their BFP!!! I am 26, my fiance is 27 and I have been on here for the past 3 months, TTC for the past 5 years. I used the "my days" app on my phone to figure out my ovulation and I have to say the 5th month I tried I did try using MUCINEX!!! And putting my legs up after BD. Well it worked!! I just got my BFP yesterday. I will only be at 5 weeks on Monday so I am TERRIFIED of complications and miscarriage. I have no idea what to expect as this is my first pregnancy... I have quit all the medication I was on (for anxiety and depression) about 2 days before I got the BFP because I just had a feeling! I know that is probably contributing to my anxiety, insomnia and being so over emotional right now.... so I have spent the last 3 days and nights exhausted in bed, unable to sleep and researching online about pregnancy. I know that's a BAD idea!! Reading about all the possibilities of things going wrong just makes my stomach twist and turn even more!! I am so worried I did something to my baby taking those medications AND having a few drinks last Monday, before I knew.... the guilt tears me up inside. Not to mention talking to all my friends who are pregnant and have children I am TERRIFIED still of labor! DH and I are SO excited to start our family and I have great support from friends and family so I just have to keep telling myself I am ok :) I have 9 months to plan properly and get used to all of this! Tomorrow I am pulling myself outta bed and going to the clinic to take a test and get an ultrasound. I know that hearing that everything is ok and that I am doing all I can for the well being of my baby will make me feel a lot better!! I wish the best of luck to all of you and a healthy happy 9 months! :)

My DH and I have been ttc and this is our first try, 12 dpo today and I got my BFP with Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test and First Response Test. :) I literally had not much of symptoms, in fact nothing at all. So ladies out here ttc don't ever worry if u don't have any symptoms. I didn't have nausea, tiredness, EWCM, nothing. I just had pain in my boobs around 10 DPO. It lasted till 12dpo. Nothing other than that. So stay healthy and happy during 2ww. Baby dust to alllll :)

DH and I had been TTC since November 2011 with no luck. After AF showed in late September 2012, I just said to hell with it and got rid of everything TTC related. BBT, opks, everything! I was just fed up! The whole month of October we had sex freely and just because we wanted to. I had no idea when I ovulated, didn't check CM or anything. The last week of October, the 26th to be exact, I decided to test with an $.88 test from Walmart. I only wanted to test because I was going out to a Halloween party the next night and knew I would be drinking. So I tested, and there was a faint line! I tested again the next day and another line, but darker! I then used a digital and saw those wonderful words "PREGNANT". I'm so pleased and couldn't be happier!

This was our first month of trying. I had this terrible feeling that getting pregnant was going to take us forever. I feel so so so blessed. I am keeping everyone who is trying in my thoughts and prayers.

I am 26 and my husband is 25. I have a 6 year old daughter from a previous relationship.

Oh my oh my oh my! I can't believe I am typing this!!!

I usually have a 27-29 day cycle, with a 13 day luteal phase, ovulating between CD 12-14. Usually I get a strong, sharp, one sided, ovulation pain. This is followed up the next day by sore BB's and EWCM that stay sore until the day before AF.

Before my first pregnancy I never had sore boobs. I got them at probably 6dpo. I also felt baby implant. It was the weirdest weirdest feeling. I was laying on my back and all of a sudden it felt like someone was twisting a corkscrew inside me. I know it sounds crazy but...it was at about 8dpo and I had never felt that and have never felt it again.

Anyways... here we go!

CD 12- Suspected O- Didn't not feel O pain... maybe I was sleeping?

1-3dpo- Normal Sore BB's

4dpo- Sharp cramp similar to O, normal sore BB's

5dpo- Bloating, indigestion, gas sore BB's- normal

6-7dpo- Sore BB's, nausea- normal

8dpo- Sore BB's- normal

9dpo- Sore BB's- normal, vomiting- not normal (seriously thinking I am just making myself crazy). Notice little pimple looking bumps on nipples. I always have mongomerys tubercles when my nipples are hard...but these are much different looking and are there when they are soft (still have these). Creamy CM- unusual

10dpo- Sore BB's- normal, strong sense of smell- the smell of ketchup makes me throw up- not normal
Feel so out, start looking up fertility vitamins, Pre-Seed, bulk pregnancy and ovulation tests. Watch "live pregnancy tests" on youtube and cry and cry with the women who get their BFP

11dpo- BB's less sore- not normal, figure my period is on the way. Feel soo out. Try to not be sad and get excited about next cycle! Weird low cramp- warm feelingish? Back molars feel sore in the evening. Wake up in the night and the room is spinning- weird and not normal

12dpo- BB's not sore, and a little bit dizzy. Just feeling "off". Had a pack of FRER but really didn't want to waste them on a BFN. I stopped at the 99 cent store and bought 2 test. Take the first one and after 3 min. Can see the faintest faintest line... could take a pic of it even. Start freaking out! So I wait a little and take the 2nd its positive. Take the FRER get a pretty dark BFP!!!

13dpo- Take another FRER 12 hours after the last and it's as dark as the control line. BB's are sore again but its "different" than usual. The sore feels deeper and not as tight as my post O tenderness.

Other weird things I noticed- I was in a pleasant not meany pms mood all TWW- which is WEIRD for me. Usually I am pretty constipated but about 6-8 dpo I always have a few really great bowel movements :p but this month I never got my relief!

We are also newlyweds...so we BD every day after AF leaves...well maybe starting when it gets light towards the end. I also just never got up after we BD...I just went to sleep. I would also visualize the sperm making it to the egg...haha.

Praying of a nice sticky healthy little baby!!!

For those of you who need a little chicken soup for your BFP soul... please read. I hope you find some encouragement.

My husband and I were TTC our second. I went off the pill in early August, but my cycle was very irregular. It lasted 35 days, which is long for me. So we decided to focus on September. I did the ovulation calendar on FF, but it was hard to predict ovulation without knowing how long that cycle might last. I tried OPK and couldn't get lines of the same color. AF showed up in early October. Sigh... we will try again!

The "trying" part was foreign to us. We have gotten pregnant twice before by accident. Our first ended in a miscarriage. Our second was a welcomed surprise and is a healthy toddler! We really wanted one more, and we never imagined it would take us more than one month to conceive. I guess we were a little too confident!

October was a new month, and I was as determined as ever to figure out my cycle. September had been shorter, as it only lasted 30 days compared to 35. So here is the rundown...

I based my ovulation calendar on a 28 day cycle. That's what I usually can count on, and I figured my days would decrease again.

BD every other or every third day before, during and a little after the fertile window (according to FF calendar)
1-3 DPO no symptoms
4-5 DPO horrible pain in my abdomen... felt like a bladder infection but wasn't... frequently urinating
6-7 DPO getting up in the middle of the night to pee, hungry, moody... tested BFN (way too soon)
8-10 DPO started getting cramps and lower back pain... reminds me of when I was pregnant before... tested on days 9 & 10 BFN
11-13 DPO still cramping but not as much, think AF is on her way... convince myself I am not pregnant, but take a test every morning to be sure... BFN... no other symptoms... not pregnant... Tell hubby that I have bad news, good news, and depends on his mood news... we are pregnant, we get to keep trying, and we can DTD as much as he's in the mood for next month.
14 DPO (today) wake up and feel like there is no possible way I didn't get pregnant this month... even though I haven't missed a period, all of these BFNs are bringing down my hopes... Decide I will take one more test. Pray I won't see another BFN. It's the middle of the day, maybe I should wait until FMU tomorrow. Nah! I go for it... BFP!!! I can't believe my eyes! Hubby is out of town. Will have to wait to share the good news with him.

For all of you ladies out there that like to POAS before AF is due to arrive, don't give up hope. You might just get that positive you're desperately looking!!

Side note: I have read so many posts on this website. Many of you have been trying for so long to conceive. I wish you all the very best of luck and lots of baby dust!!! I can't imagine what you go through month after month. Please keep your hopes up, too!

I have been trying to conceive for 4 months. I know this in not very long compared to some of you on here. I went to my ob doctor because I have been having a lot of lower abdomen pain the past two cycles. This month I decided to try opk. I have two children that are 8 & 9. My last period started October 13. (I was 4 days late) On October 23rd I got a fairly dark line on opk. I hare not ever used them before so I bd that night. The next night I got a very dark line (positive). DH was sick that night. We had a death in the family on Thursday so every one was really tired no bd the rest of the week. :-( I had an ultrasound on Friday because the doctor could not feel my ovaries the week before. They said my biggest follicle was 15mm. So I went home to check on sizes of follicles after ovulation. Everything that I read said they should be at least 18mm for ovulation to release a healthy egg. I should have ovulated Thursday or that Friday. The doctor called me that afternoon and said that I need to. Come in to talk about the results. I was worried all weekend. I went in Tuesday the 30th and was diagnosed with a bicornate uterus. They had never noticed this before even though I have two other children. They were both 3 weeks early. Ob set up an appointment to have a dye test done of my uterus. I was to call her after my period stated. They do it then so they know you are not pregnant. Well I get to call in the morning because I am pregnant. Here are my symptoms.

1- 6 nothing
7 dpo Super gassy tummy rolling. Felt like I had ate a ton of beans.
8 dpo Everyone asked me if I was ok because I looked sad. Cried on the was. Home over something 1g stupid. Felt depressed. Took a test thought I could see a faint line. Really had to look close thought I might be seeing things.
9 dpo Took another test fmu nothing no line: Took another test that afternoon. Possible line again? Not for sure though.
10 dpo femur took 2 tests. Light line on both tests not really dark.

I finally got my BFP yesterday and I'm still in denial but I took two different tests and it's definitely it! I've had so many ups and downs over the last year and a bit, and previous months I was convinced this was it saying things to my partner like "I'll eat a hat if I'm not pregnant I just know it!" Only to feel like an idiot when the witch arrived! This month I thought I was out for sure, I had a couple of symptoms but nothing that made me convinced as I read so many charts where I wasn't experiencing much symptoms like other women. I kept my cool when my period didn't arrive on time and still didn't say anything, we even went for a grocery shop and I bought pads. Felt like it was coming at any time!.. I didn't keep track of which days I experienced these but here's what I can remember :)

1dpo- Ovulation was early? Boobs feel fuller like they do at this time- a little bit sore, increase cm a couple of days prior, gassy.. Twitches in ovary lasted about a minute..
2-7dpo- CM dried up, still gassy, boobs still feel full not sore at all though.. Not bloated. Had a dream around implantation time that I could feel implantation and it felt real.
7-10po- Next to no cm, boobs still slightly full not sore at all. Noticed more prominent veins in boobs and areolas appear darker. Still gassy. Thought I was out because I haven't felt any cramps and it should have happened by now! Well I've had very mild twitchy feeling although other months it's been more full on :/
11dpo- For a minute I felt 'warm' in my uterus going to sleep, it's all in my head? Stalked sites for more info.. Boobs still slightly full not sore. Still veiny boobs & dark nipples, not that obvious though.. a bit of reflux..
12dpo- Felt an ache below my belly button that lasted a few minutes, nothing to get my attention really.. achy feet going to bed! Was wanting a foot rub. Also noticed I've wanted more milk lately.. Not bloated, same boobs as previous. Don't 'feel' pregnant at all.
13pdo- mostly same as above. Feel like the which is on her way, I've experienced short feelings of cramping as I always do about now! A little bit more hungry.. When going to sleep I dreamt I took 2 pregnancy tests and both positive!! Woke up sad that it was only a dream.
14dpo- Feel a bit lazy today, definitely PMS'y cranky and irritable. More warmish crampy feelings only mild.. Boobs should be hurting by now if I was pregnant? Nope! They actually feel less full, still a bit hard though, and yep still veiny and slightly darker nipples. Increase appetite. A couple more spots on my face, but still no period! They say 14-16 days after ovulation so I'm convinced she is gunna show soon..
15dpo- Almost was going to test but didn't want to see another negative. No new symptoms..
16dpo- Come 2pm and I'm getting the urge to test. My partner ducks out for a couple of hours and I decide to do it! Felt kinda anxious about it like deep down I knew I was in for a chance as still no period! Took pregnosis test, glanced at it straight after and could see the control line forming, so I thought that was it. Didn't look at it for another couple of minutes and OMG I can see the second line forming and it's getting darker! NO way :D !!! Partner comes home and I tell him the good news & he's stoked! Took my second early first response test and it's even more clear!!! Yayy!!!

I feel like we've been blessed, I've prayed for this for so long! I just have to point out I have had barely any noticeable symptoms of pregnancy. Just a few of the typical PMS ones!.. no spotting, barely any cramping! boobs still feel normal! Main ones are just veiny boobs and darker nipples, gassy and a bit moody.. & how weird is it about my dreams!? I guess my body was trying to tell me something ;) Hang in there all you TTConceivers! It will happen just have faith, don't overly obsess and just imagine you being pregnant and seeing your BFP for the first time! Good luck all and wish us luck for the months ahead! <3

My husband and I were TTC for 3 months. I stopped BC in late April, waited for 3 months to get back on schedule and started TTC in August. We tried the ovulation prediction kits but for some reason, this didn't work for me. My temperature spiked the next morning after getting a positive OPK in both August and September. So, we winged it in October. BD'd every other day for 9 days around the time when we knew I would be ovulating. It worked!! I had BFP 12 DPO and this was after work and after drinking lots of water all day. Here were my symptoms:

1 - 8 DPO: Nothing to report. I felt totally normal.
9 DPO: Woke up with sore throat, sneezing and stuffy.
10 DPO: Felt a little more irritable than usual --cried before work. My BBs were really sore with pain under my armpit on the right side that night. Starting to get excited!! Still have cold symptoms.
11 DPO: It was my birthday and all I wanted to do was lay down -- "crappy cold" I thought. Also, cramps were off and on all day. Of course I blew out my candles with a wish for a positive test Saturday!
12 DPO: My husband sent me a list of early pregnancy symptoms at work saying "you have almost all of these symptoms". I felt sleepy and kind of zoned. Went home and snuck in a test while he was in the kitchen. Sure enough, it was positive!!
13 DPO: Still have a cold, cramps, sore BBs and winded going up the stairs. Took another test in the morning [like you're supposed to!]. Very positive.

Best birthday ever! I'm 35 and hubby 41. We are so excited!

Finally our turn! I have to write this since I am waiting to tell my DH after work and the wait it killing me!

Me 32: 11 year old daughter from previous
DH 32: no natural children

After 7 months TTC I was sure something was wrong. My daughter was a surprise on BC at 19 so in my experience, pregnancy is always looming at the door. Turns out, it's not that easy!

I did nothing different this month. I forgot to use Pre-Seed on the key dates, I was as uptight and fretful as ever, and we had two weekends of libations since ovulation. I must say, like others on here, that I had fewer symptoms this month than ever . . . I know, I know.

The only real difference this month is that we got the results of DH's SA and were told he only had 2% normal morphology. We thought we were destined for IVF and felt totally deflated.

CD 1-4 AF
CD 5-11 nada
CD 12 crampy and EWCM, BD
CD 13 crampy and EWCM
CD 14 crampy and EWCM,
CD 15 crampy and EWCM, BD
CD 16 no more EWCM, positive OPK, BD
CD 17 still positive OPK
1-4 DPO (I think?)
5 DPO sore BBs (typical PMS), some tugging cramps
6 DPO big and sore BBs, round ligament pain, especially bad after a walk
7 DPO less sore boobs, achy legs, moody and feel like AF is on the march
8 DPO AF cramps, moody and tearful, bit of brown cm at cervix (never made it to panties)
9 DPO AF cramps, brown/pink cm at cervix
10 DPO AF cramps, slightly less pink cm at cervix
11 DPO mild cramps, achy legs, no sore BBs, exhausted
12 DPO all PMS symptoms gone, only some super mild cramps/tugging sensation in my groin, exhausted evap line that my DH couldn't see (I am officially losing my mind)
13 DPO same as 12 dpo
14 DPO same again, insomnia, vivid dreams, very few other symptoms
15 DPO BFP with FMU on super sensitive, another BFP with afternoon wee on less sensitive!

Holy %*&$!!!

Come on sticky bean!

Hey everyone,

It's my birthday today.... got a BFP this morning.... and I have to wait for my husband to get home from work to share this wonderful news and I just had to tell someone! I am currently at 12dpo (2 days before AF is supposed to arrive), took a First Response test with FMU and got a light test line (but most definitely there) and then ran out to the store to get a Clearblue Digital and right away.... Pregnant!!! I really didn't have much in the way of symptoms this month. Every other month I had symptoms coming out the ying yang.... but always BFN. This month, the only symptoms I had were sore BB's (but I get those every month, so I was trying not to get excited) and the only other symptom I got (which I don't know if it's attributed or not) was that I am very very hot lately and I seem to have a racing heart beat at weird times during the day in the last few days (like anxiety). Other than that....nothin! So all you ladies out there who are wondering if they are PG, but have no symptoms.. don't give up... it's not over till AF arrives!!! This is the best birthday present I could ever ask for! And the best part is that I get to tell my parents at Christmas!! I just thought I'd add that my husband and I have been trying for 4 months. For the first 3 months, I was stressing and obsessing and it was always a let down. On the 4th month, I decided to tone it down a bit and relax and that's when it happened! So all you ladies out there who are waiting for BFP, just try and relax and it will come! Good luck and baby dust to you all!!!!~

My husband and I found out that I did not ovulate on my own earlier this month. I had lab work done last winter before I started fertility treatments and my doctor at the time never informed me that I wasn't ovulating. I got pregnant last March on my third round of clomid but lost my angel at 7wks. Last month I decided I was done being sad and trying to control everything so I turned it over in God's hands. I prayed and stayed positive. My husband is in the military and was in the field so I decided we were probably out for the month since he was going to be gone. To my surprise, I ovulated later than I ever do at cycle day 20 and he just so happened to come home early. It was like everything fell into place. When I got my BFP I could barely believe it! WE are soooo excited. My symptoms are pretty mild and I have to remind myself that this is real everyday. I'm 5 wks and 3 days so please pray that this one is healthy. I believe in the power of prayer! God Bless all the ladies trying. This was our 24th month!

So excited to finally be able to contribute my own story! Here it goes:

I am 27 and my husband is 30. This is our first pregnancy. I actually charted BBTs and documented pregnancy "signs" for 4 months. Last month (month 4), I was 4 days late and had a negative hpt, but hcg blood level of 4, which according to my doc is "indeterminate". I think I had a very early miscarriage or chemical pregnancy, because the doc had me take another blood test 3 days later, and the level was back down to almost 0. I was very disappointed and depressed and decided to take a month off from charting and documenting my every symptom. We even booked a vacation for April, and went on our scheduled vacation for October. I really tried not to stress and didn't check this site at all. I noticed I ovulated on CD 22 because I had O pains, and confirmed the temp rise the next day. My luteal phase is always 10 days and on day 11 I didn't get my period, and noticed my boobs were unusually sore. Like if I jumped, they would hurt. They also hurt on the bottoms/sides when I gently pushed them. Also, I had/have a lot of random twinges of pain in my uterus, but not the normal period cramps. I have no other noticeable symptoms. Today, one day late (12 DPO), I took two dollar store tests in the middle of the day, both with faint positive positives! I went to CVS for a digital one and will take it tomorrow morning just to confirm, but I am positive I am! My husband is still doubting/in shock haha! I think once he sees the readout of "PREGNANT" it will sink in more.

Good luck to all of you. When people say to "just relax", it's SO annoying but it was true/worked for me!
