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!
