BFP au Naturale

I don't usually write on forums or discussion boards but I really enjoyed reading other people's success stories and promised that when I got my bfp I would share.

My husband and I have been trying for 7 months. I found the fertility friend website really useful for tracking and predicting ovulation and period. I was also temperature tracking which was very useful. I used digital ovulation predictor sticks to confirm ovulation. We dtd from 6 days before ovulation until the thermometer confirmed ovulation. I drank pink grapefruit juice to increase cm. Also used boots conceive plus lubricant.

I didn't have many symptoms before my missed period. Just a couple of very mild twinges in my abdomen. I'm still very anxious about all being ok. Good luck for your ttc journeys!!

I've been not protecting for over 4 years. I started to actively ttc in September. I have just gotten a BFP at 9dpo. I am in absolute shock! I want to post a public service announcement here like so many of you did for me. I did a lot of things different this month. Deep tissue massage of my uterus and ovaries and tubes to break up potential scar tissue/adhesions from my c-section (for first 2 weeks only), agnus castus (vitex) and b12, 6, +folic all month, EPO first 2 weeks of cycle, BD for 4 days leading up to and 3 days after pos. OPK, worked out every 2 days (lifting weights mostly), and pineapple core around implantation. I am an RN and a skeptic at heart and I kept thinking all of these things were bogus but this month I went all out. Lo and behold something worked ;) I am right here with you all. The sorrows, the heartache, and the hope! Keep that hope. Before you know it you'll be where I am!! My luteal phase is usually 11 days and I used Softcups like always again this month.

7 dpo is when anything unusual happened…. Sore sides and bottoms of breasts (HUGE sign--usually it is the whole breasts in LP) and pain in uterus..a little like period cramps and a little bit of digging and a kind of fullness. I remember now I was peeing often, thirsty, and yawning a lot. Neg on HPT haha! I couldn’t wait.
8 dpo- heartburn and reflux (huge sign only get this when PG), creamy green-yellow-whitish stretchy CM, peeing, thirst, and pain in breasts and uterus persist.
9 dpo- only thing new is nausea in waves. Very very pale pos on $ store test. Husband brought home FRER—def pos but pale. OMG!! I am in shock. I thought I was broken and infertile.

I went off an app on my phone called: my days. It calculated my fertile days and O day. And of course I also went off CM but that's it.

I thought I was for sure out this month and af was going to show because I started to get watery/creamy cm like I do before af. But I was wrong.

1-5dpo I had the urge to pee frequently, thought it was a uti (which I never get), sure enough the dr said it was a start of one so she gave me meds
And I was getting headaches

5-9dpo Felt weird pinching pains in left side
Back pains, very low blood pressure, and tingling sensations in my bbs, very bloated.

10-13 cramps

13-now watery cm, bbs starting to hurt.

15dpo Bfp

Good luck & baby dust to you all!!!

I haven't been TTC, but this month when I ovulated for some reason I just wanted to jump my DHs bones (in talking 3 times a day every day for a week.)
The funny thing is that I knew I was pregnant a couple days after. I remember googling "1 day after conception symptoms" and honestly thinking I was crazy.

I woke up a couple days later by cramps that were every AF like but I was 2 weeks away from AF, and I had never had any ovulation cramps.
I began feeling very sick all the time, the smell of raw meat making me almost vomit. My sense of smell was heightened to a point but not overwhelming. I continued having cramps for about a week before they stopped. Sore breast developed.
However the most tell tale sign of the pregnancy for me was the veins on my breasts. I noticed one morning that I had one very blue vein and a couple days after that my breasts were full of bright blue veins all over my breasts.
6dpo I took a test that was BFN
7dpo I took a blue dye test that was BFN but since it was about 5 in the morning I didn't throw it out, when I came back in a couple of hours it had changed to BFP. I thought it was an evap line and didn't think anything of it.
8dpo I took a dollar store test that did the same thing. Showed BFN and about 30 mins later I went back and BFP. I still wasn't sure if it was evap line.
9dpo (this morning) at 2:40 am I took another blue dye test and didn't take my eyes of it and sure enough VERY faint BFP
when I woke up at 10 am I took a FRER test and another BFP VERY faint.

I haven't yet missed my period.

Please trust your intuition!!

Me: 31
DH: 37
No known issues

We've been TTC since Jan so this was our third cycle. I was really in complete shock that it worked this time as I really had very little symptoms, as opposed to the last month when I swear I had every symptom under the sun (nausea, constipation, extreme hunger, pulling sensation down there). But nope, wasn't preggers. I do think something was trying to happen due to the pulling/pressure feeling about a week after ovulation (a feeling I've never experienced before). This month I actually said to DH multiple times that I didn't that this was our month. Boy was I wrong!

Anyway, back to this cycle that worked. We used OPK and timed BD every month but this was the first month we tried Pre-Seed. I never had any CM issue but thought it couldn't hurt! I also have been seeing an acupuncturist for the past year due to migraines and the last few months she's been adding in some fertility treatments as well as giving me herbs to take.

My cycle is between 25 and 32 days and my luteal phase is between 12 and 14 days.

CD12 - negative OPK, EWCM, tightness in uterus - BD w/ Preseed
CD13 - positive OPK, lots of EWCM, dull pain right side on/off - BD w/ Preseed
CD14 / O day - another positive OPK in AM, cramps - BD w/ Preseed
O day / 1 DPO - EWCM, slight cramps, tightness on/off
1-2 DPO - tightness, EWCM, went on vacation
2-3 DPO - mild cramps, tightness at night
3-4 DPO - nothing noticeable, vivid dream
4-5 DPO - slight tightness/cramps, another vivid dream, very emotional (burst into tears when fighting with family member, very rare for me)
5-6 DPO - very light cramps
6-7 DPO - vivid dream again
7-8 DPO - cramps light in morning then again at night with tightness, vivid dream yet again!
8-9 DPO - light cramps at night, test with IC at night when returned from vacation and thought that MAYBE I saw quite possibly the faintest line on the planet. Thought I was probably just being crazy and ignored.
9-10 DPO - gas, test with IC again in AM and again MAYBE saw the most ridiculous faintest line ever - ignored again, weird slight pain on left side of uterus in afternoon for about 15 seconds, tightness at night again, tested again at night and was sure I saw a faint line this time on IC pulled out a CB and it said PREGNANT!!!!! very thirsty in middle of night with cramps, barely slept!
10-11 DPO - BFP again in morning on both CB and IC (line still faint but slightly darker)
11/12 - 13/14 DPO - AF like cramps all that weekend, test again each day and kept getting BFPs! wohoo!
13/14 - 17/18 DPO - cramps slow down but are replaced by very light brown spotting, get worried and call doctor, go in for beta testing, went very well and more than doubled in 48 hours! they said it's just old blood making it's way out and not to worry.
last couple of days / today (4w4d) - spotting now gone and only symptoms are extreme thirst, light cramps, more hungry, and sleepiness yet insomnia

Praying for a sticking bean! GOOD LUCK to everyone!!!

You ladies have been so amazing to me I had to share. I'm 25 hubby is 34 we have a wonderful 18 month old daughter and we decided in February we anted to try for number 2. Well today I was confirmed by a blood test we are pregnant!!!!!!! YAY BFP!!! My biggest indication was my mood swings. I cried watching toy story and watching the pajanimals and I lashed out at my grandmother Monday.
Here are some of my others

2dpo twingy feeling in my uterus
Between I had a lot of cm the non fertile kind.
7 dpo loose BMs
12dpo very moody
12/13/14 dpo crampy

We had sex every single day from the day I ended my last period until about a week after my calendar told me my suspected ovulation was.

My bbs never felt sore but they never did with my daughter either I just noticed my nipples were a little bigger. Due date December 14th!!!

Ah my TWW friends, I am thrilled to be writing this. Long story short, I had a miscarriage on 2/14 at 7 weeks and was devastated. DH and I have 2 DSs and would love a DD, knowing we will most likely have another DS, but we just really wanted one more. After the miscarriage my OB said wait 1 cycle, I OVd exactly 14 days later and started tracking symptoms for comparison. My new cycle started 3/13 and I OVd on CD 13. We BDd on CD11. My O - 4dpo symptoms were identical on both cycles. Starting 5dpo all symptoms disappeared on my in between cycle, this cycle my symptoms were as follows.
O day Super duper gassy, strong sense of smell, bloated
1dpo CM throughout the day, runny nose in the AM, multiple BMs, extreme nausea, heavy breasts and so sore I couldn't lay down, poking pain in nipples
2dpo Stuffy nose AM, loose BM, little CM, vivid dream about seeing implantation spotting, exhausted, massive body acne
3dpo Woke to pee middle of the night, runny nose, little CM, heartburn, bloated, horrible face acne
4po Woke to pee in middle of night again, stuffy nose, little CM, slight AF cramps in the AM, nausea and hot flashes throughout the day, super thirsty all day
5dpo Little CM, heartburn
6dpo Little yellowish CM, breast pain shooting down sides, heartburn, little popping feeling while watching TV at night, like bubbles in my uterus
7dpo No CM, crazy sense of smell, acne cleared up, more breast pain
8dpo Lots of yellowish CM, nauseous after lunch and while grocery shopping, crazy sense of smell again, still more breast pain on sides
9dpo Tested with FMU, BFN, af style cramps after breakfast then bout of diarrhea (sorry, TMI) an hour later had brownish and red CM when wiping (yay!)
10dpo Body was really quiet, out and about all day and started to notice that I had the nursing "let down" feeling in my breasts all day as well as some uterine poking. Swore I was going to wait until 12 dpo to test but then had the urge about 3:30, on CBE Digital "Pregnant" popped up right away!
So thrilled, clearly following my miscarriage I'm scared as well, but just praying that this will stick!

Hello hello, ladies!!

I read these bfp stories every day when we were ttc so I thought I would list mine and hopefully help some of you!

A little background info: I'm 25 and DH is 23 and we had been ttc for 6 months when we finally got our little blessing! I didn't temp or use OPKs but I did use the WomanLog app to track my periods and forecasted ovulation dates.

Many women say they "just knew" when they finally got pregnant and let me tell you- that couldn't be further from the truth in my case!

Symptoms: I had sore boobs from Ovulation to my bfp. I usually get them about a week before my period but never this early. I also had bloody sinuses almost immediately as well. I had very few waves of nausea so I didn't think much of that and my face started breaking out which is normal for me. I still clung to a little hope until I started cramping around 12dpo. They felt EXACTLY like AF cramps. I just knew I was out yet again. I even cried and was a little moody to the DH. I continued to cramp daily but AF never came. I tested for the first time when she was one day late and the line came up right away and was darker than the control line! I.was.shocked. I showed DH and he prayed and thanked God for our baby and asked for a healthy pregnancy.

Fast forward to today: I'm 8 weeks 3 days and we saw our little baby last week and got to hear the heartbeat! We are praying God sustains this life in me and we give Him all the glory for this miracle!

Hi all!!

So I'm 10dpo and just got a very dark positive! Is it normal to be this positive?? A bit shocked but happy. This is our third month ttc.

Have not really had any noticeable symptoms however boobs and nipples been a bit tingly today and had a terrible cold since 2dpo that's just clearing up now.

Can't seem to upload a pic of it but it's darker than the control line.
