I am so excited and scared at the same time that we have finally gotten pregnant with our first baby!
I am 27 and DH is 30. We've been trying since July 2012 without any success. My doctor told me that many women conceive the month after they go off the pill (yeah right) so imagine my disappointment when we passed all of these months without the stick ever turning pink! I'm hoping that by sharing my story I can help other women who, like me, read these stories every month trying to find hope.
I have 26 day cycles, I ovulate on day 15, and I have an 11 day luteal phase.
Things I tried this month:
OPK
BBT (with Fertility Friend)
Green Tea
Laying down for 15 minutes after BD
This is all the same as past months, except for one thing. We BD on the *morning* that I ovulated instead of the evening.
Note: I really didn't think I was pregnant until I saw the BFP. I don't even know why I tested. This was the first month that I had such little hope. I'm glad I was wrong!
CD 14 - Positive OPK, BD (PM), EWCM
CD 15 - Positive OPK, BD (AM), EWCM
1 DPO - BBT above coverline, sticky CM, sore bbs/nipples
2 DPO - sticky CM, sore bbs
3 DPO - creamy CM (little compared to usual), sore nipples
4 DPO - little creamy CM
5 DPO - little sticky CM, side of bbs hurt!, some minor cramps
6 DPO - little creamy CM, side of bbs hurt, woke up with red rash on my chest that went away with hydrocortizone
7 DPO - little creamy CM, bbs hurt more as the day goes on
8 DPO - BBT drops below coverline (implantation!?!?!) this has never happened before. Very vivid nightmare the night before. I feel horrible! Cramps in the AM but not PM, bbs *burn* in the AM but not at all in the PM, very tired, bloated, headache, dizzy. I went to bed early.
9 DPO - BBT back up higher than before! Terrible sleep last night, woke up in a cold sweat. BBs no longer hurt. I feel bloated and a little constipated. Plus, I'm still tired and went to bed early again.
10 DPO - BBT still high. Still feel bloated and a little uncomfortable around the middle (like my pants are way too tight). Still tired, can't stop yawning. When I wake up, I do a First Signal with FMU on a whim. Is that a line? So I do a Wondfo, FR, and CB Digital -- all positive! The First Signal and Wondfo lines were very clear, the FR was a squinter, and the CB said "pregnant"! I had to do four because I couldn't believe my eyes!
I am so happy, and I know that it is very early, but I am hopeful! My first doctor appointment isn't until 6 weeks. Baby dust to all of you!
