BFP after a lot of Worry
I just want to give you ladies a little hope with my story. I am 24 years and I was told that I would probably never be able to have children. I suffered from Anorexia from the age of 13 to 18 and I went for years without a period. I contracted an STD from the first guy I ever let myself love, he was a cheating looser. The STD caused sever inflammation and made me very sick. When I finally recovered from my eating disorder, my periods returned but with a vengeance, and doctors suspected that I had endometriosis. Anyways, two years ago I met the love of my life. I prayed every night before falling asleep that some day I would be able to give him a baby. Well guess what?! on our second month of not trying but not preventing, I am pregnant. I feel so blessed.
I am now 6 weeks pregnant with very few symptoms. Firstly, i'v never had ewcm and I have not noticed any increase in cm yet. I was extremely constipated and gassy after ovulation (which isn't unusual for me). I didn't have my usual sore breasts the week after O, which was a big sign. The day my period was due I had terrible cramping in my back, I always get this the of and the day before my period. I was so sure AF was on her way. The following two days I had a dull ache in my back. I kept checking my CV but it changed position about 3 times a day so that was a useless activity! It was only yesterday that I started to get very nauseous and my breasts are very sore now also. So sometimes no symptoms is the biggest sign of all.
Four months ago I started taking Angus Cactus, Maca, Evening Primrose, Cod liver oil, ground Flaxseed, and honey. Alot I know! But I was obsessed with fixing my fertility problems and it worked. My periods were regular, every 29 days, for the first time in my life and my lutheal phase was 15 days, way longer then before.
Please keep faith ladies, it will happen. If it happened for me it can happen for anyone :) Keep positive, try not to stress, and believe your time will come. x
Baby dust to all

BFP at 10 DPO
10/24/2011
Hi! My husband and I decided that instead of TTC, we would just not prevent it. Well, it turns out that it was a great method of being semi-stress free about baby-planning and IT WORKED! =) I was to get my AF today 10/24 & she will not be existing for the next 36 weeks as I am officially 4 weeks pregnant! (very surreal to say!!)
This site was very helpful to me when I was experiencing symptoms, so I thought I would share mine as well.
10/8/11 CD 13: BD at pm <3
CD 14: nothing
CD 15: normally have OV pain & EWCM, but I didn't have it this cycle, so I thought my OV was late or skipped this month. We will say this is OV day anyway.
3-5 DPO: creamy CM, yellow tint in CM, vivid dreams, bright yellow urine in am, thirsty!! nauseated (normal around OV)
6 DPO: bright yellow urine in am, slept till 11 am (I am always tired but never sleep in this late!), vivid dreams, creamy white CM, very tired (more than usual), irritable, nauseated
7 DPO: clumps of CM, very tired, bright yellow urine in am, thirsty, nauseated
8 DPO: sore bbs (not unusual before AF), tired, heartburn (strange!), headache, bright yellow urine in am (again), thirsty, nauseated
9 DPO: tender swollen bbs (not unusual), swollen areola/nipples (hmm?), great mood (unusual before AF, I am normally extremely cranky & emotional when I PMS), sore throat, dreamed I was pregnant!!, bright yellow urine in am again, thirsty! not even 8 glasses of water can quench my thirst, nauseated
10 DPO: tender, swollen bbs (not unusual), bright yellow urine in am, thirsty, irritable, tried to wait by POAS at 8 pm & got a faint POSITIVE with an ept ahhh!!! =) legs & low back are so crampy, feel like growing pains in legs when I lay down or sit, nauseated
11 DPO: POAS in am using a $ General Baby brand & got a faint, but darker POSITIVE! holy cow! I am pregnant!!
12-14 DPO: just feel nauseated & thirsty. sore bbs & crampy legs. very tired. no AF today on day 14!! I am so thrilled. It's such a surreal feeling =) I am still nauseated & smells are really bothering me. Still feel sooo thirsty, but I am so excited! God has blessed us sooner than we expected but we are thrilled! I am due July 3, 2012 <3 This goes to show you that things happen when you least expect it. Baby dust to all!! =)

BFP after three months!
We have been trying for about three months, and I was so used to seeing the ONE dark pink BFN line on the HCG strip! I had a busy day at work yesterday (on the day AF was due) and only took a test to see if I could have a beer. There was the faintest second pink line! I asked DH if he saw it, and he wasn't convinced. So, I took another and it also had a faint second line! DH ran out to the store to get a +/- test and that was the faintest of positives, too! I decided to not get too excited until I could test this morning...which meant a night of restless sleep! I woke up, took a test, and the second line was darker! I can't believe it. This is the only month I haven't really done anything special. I didn't track my cycle for the first time in several.months, didn't alter my lifestyle in the slightest, and had virtually no symptoms except a deep soreness in my boobs (which I figured was mostly due to all the intemse exercise I've been doing!). Best wishes to all! I know.how devastating the BFN tests are.

BFP at 11DPO!
My husband and I have been TTC our 1st and finally got our BFP on our 3rd time at 11DPO! I have no known fertility issues and have a very regular cycle. This is such a neat website and since I stalked it for about 90 days straight, I thought I should send my symptoms in as well! So here are all the juicy details:
1DPO - Stuffy nose, sneezing, watery allergy eyes, and a small backache. Temps at 97.29F
2DPO - Stuffy nose, coughing, sore throat, pain in armpit and yet another backache. Temps at 97.48F.
3DPO - Woke up with a headache, sore throat, cough, some uterine area cramps, dizziness, backache, yellowish CM, sharp but mild stabbing pain on left side of right breast, toothache. Temps at 98.16F
4DPO - Poking in right side of uterus area. sore throat, stuffy nose, tired, headache. Temps at 98.21F (still climbing? WTH?)
5DPO - Cold symptoms like crazy, Fertility Friend moved my crosshairs to CD16 for ovulation and we had stopped BD by then - crap. I'm out. :( Still wondering about the high temps though and not convinced the website is correct. Digging pain in uterus, heartburn, nausea, tired, toothache (like wisdom teeth are coming in), possible low-grade fever (?). Temps at 98.62 (HIGHEST EVER!)
6DPO - Have a cold, feverish but no fever, temp spike (Implantation, Triphasic, Fever? WHO KNOWS!), shooting breast pain, AF-like cramps early then gone, extremely tired (because I'm sick?), nausea, headache, some EWCM, insomnia (2am and 5am - UGH). Temps at 98.58F
7DPO - FF keeps moving my crosshairs - SO confused, decided to stick with my gut (and hope) that O Day was CD14 and not CD15-16 like FF says, temps down slightly today, still have a cold, Ab muscles feel like Ive done 1000 situps but I think they are sore from coughing, sticky/creamy CM, SO EXHAUSTED, AF-like cramps off and on, sore gums, heartburn, weird electrical sensations down "there", insomnia (AGAIN) at 2am and 5am. Temps at 98.32.
8DPO - toothache, tired, no CM then slightly creamy in afternoon, congested, coughing, temp up slightly, nervous tummy in morning, dream of BFP!!!!, irritable, full feeling fast then nausea, NASTY taste in mouth that will NOT go away no matter what I do (metallic?). Temps at 98.43.
9DPO - possible implantation dip on FF chart this morning, toothache, breasts SORE when touched, crampy, loose stools, BAD taste in mouth again, sour stomach, slight nausea, dizzy, "wet" feeling down "there", congestion, coughing, dried blood in nose (maybe?). Temps at 97.99.
10DPO - Crap. I definitely don't FEEL preggers anymore... Oh well, just waiting for AF and another month of trying. FF must have been right on as usual with my O Day. Some AF cramps, temps up but only a little, dried blood in nose, toothache, breast tender when touched, backache, hips sore, gassy. Temps at 98.10.
11DPO (THE BFP DAY!) - Temps back up (yay) - usually they have started going down for AF now!, creamy CM, "feel" preggers again, sensitive gums, strong urge to pee early in morning but not much comes out when I go, then I have to go bad again 30 mins later, bbs sore, full and sharp pains through them, HUNGRY (OMG hungry as HECK as soon as I wake up, and I'm not a breakfast person!), loose stools, AF Cramps. Temps at 98.43. Decide to test late in the evening after returning from an overnight trip and sure enough a BFaintP!!!! Dollar Store brand ... not convinced, but hopeful. Will try again in the morning
12DPO - crampy, gassy, loose stools, toothache, congestion, tummy bubbles, backache. Temps at 98.15. Tested twice and a darker BFP on Dollar Store test in the morning and a clear and bright BFP on an Equate test that afternoon! I'm PREGNANT!!!!!!! :) Praying for a sticky bean!
I guess after all that has happened in the past 2 weeks, my biggest signs were the breast tenderness (which I never get), the creamy CM (I'm usually completely dry after Oday), and the odd twinges/cramps that were slightly different than AF. Honestly, thought I was out and had more symptoms during the 2 months I wasn't pregnant. All the glory to GOD!!!
