We have a lovely soon to be 4 year old who was conceived Jan 2009, a few months after first time pregnancy that turned out to be ectopic. Then had another ectopic pregnancy April 2011. Started to try again Jan 2012 and finally got BFB March 2013, over a year later, but then miscarried a few weeks later. Doctor told me at my age, I could try naturally for another 3-4 months, then I needed to call her for an appt to talk bout IVF. DH meanwhile left for an overseas trip. We BD the day he left, and it was 3-4 days before I ovulated, and thought, I am out again this month, there is no way I will conceive with him gone, and time is ticking, so set up an appointment for to IVF clinic set for tomorrow. Here are my dpi symptoms:
Day 1-6: A lot of CM, and breaking out on face and chest!
Day 7: Emotional, more CM,
Day 8: Insomnia. Cannot get to sleep until 2 am, then so tired in the morning
Day 9: Temperature dip a whole degree!, insomnia continues, hungry
Day 10: Insomnia, hungry, nipples a bit sore. This is when I first suspected
Day 11: Insomnia, same sore nipples, hungry and tired
Day 12: Insomnia, sore nipples, hungry and tired. Tested BFN
Day 13: Insomnia, sore nipples, hungry and tired. Tested faint positive!
Husband returns tomorrow and will test again! After 3 losses, BD only 3-3 days pre-ovulation, turning 42 in 3 months. Can't believe it.
Looking back, I think what may have helped was that I took Robutssin (google it) to keep my CM thin (longer sperm survival) an that I had sort of given up o ever naturally conceiving again and was focusing on preparing myself to go the IVF route.
