I'm so glad I can write here now!! God is good!
Ok so my story is pretty boring and I'm not sure of when I ovulated or anything but I have a feeling that it was around day 16 of my cycle or before (I usually ovulate on day 17 according to my charts from earlier cycles but it can be a day or two before). Anyhow, had decided that we would have a break about 2 months ago. 1st day of last period was 31st July. I usually have on average a 30 day cycle but wasn't counting days until I realized my period was late yesterday!
Only things to note are I ate a lot of fish, salmon mostly because of the high omega 3. Cut out caffeine, but still had the odd coffee fix. Partner has been taking vits, vitamin E and C, zinc and omega 3.
Also, as we weren't actively trying, I decided to go on top (tmi alert). I do remember that I had an orgasm immediately after DP. Maybe that helped.
This month had been a little stressful and out of sorts. My beloved cat passed away and I had to basically move into my parents house for 2 weeks to doggy sit as they have gone away on holiday. Not an easy task as their female dog has been in season and, as you can imagine, the male has been... Well like a dog in heat!! So my thoughts have been elsewhere.
A few things made me think... Hhmm maybe. But nothing major. Felt very tired on 25th August and ate some pickled onions, which I never have, which I am calculating to be around 10 dpo. Had lots of headaches from then. And my gums were bleeding last night. Have had a little heightened sense of smell over the past couple of days, Other than that I've had no symptoms at all!! I did find that strange as I usually get the typical symptoms before AF comes. But not so much as a breast ache!!
So I went the shop today and picked up some 99p tests and bam... 2 pink lines! I swear I nearly fell off the toilet seat, they came up that fast!
I am kind of hoping that my symptoms come soon. Today I've had lots of twinges, unlike period pain. Like a heavy pulling feeling, so I'm going to take it easy.
I'm estimating that I am 16dpo today. We are thrilled but trying not to get over excited as I have had 3 chemical pregnancies. However, the pink line is the strongest I have ever had, didn't even have to squint!
This website has served me through every painstaking month. Thank you to all you ladies who have contributed.
Keep praying, try not to think about it too much. I am convinced I stressed myself out too much for the past two years. Try and have a break, obviously don't stop trying but cut yourself some slack. Bin the ovulation tests and bbt chart for a few months and see what happens.
I am hoping for a sticky bean :) I am praying for you all and sending healing and loving thoughts. Baby dust to you all xxx
