BFP au Naturale

Well after a year of irregular spotting and 5 months TTC I have my BFP at 14 dpo! I was so worried that the spotting/bleeding I experienced every month from as early as 3 dpo was going to keep me from conceiving. All my bloodwork and ultrasounds came back normal and the Dr's had no answers so I was quite frustrated. My bleeding would range from brown to bright red and even had clots sometimes. It would start 3-5 dpo and continue to AF. I just want to offer hope to anyone experiencing this spotting that it is possible! I'm praying for a sticky bean and can't wait to tell my DH when he gets home from work!

We BD'd 4 out of 5 fertile days in my window. I was only going by CM and O cramps this month along with tracking O on the calendar. I also have been taking B6 for 3 months to help with spotting but haven't noticed a change.

3dpo- pink when wiping once. O?
4dpo- pink when wiping once
5dpo- good amount of bright red once in morning. Very upset sure I am out this month
6dp0- nothing
7dpo- woke up to find I had bled quite a bit at night, it was all brown though.Upset then but now thinking maybe IB??
8-10 dpo - only occasional brown when wiping, nothing like the consistently heavier spotting I normally get leading to aF
11-13 dpo NO SPOTTING!!!! This never happens. my spotting always turns to AF with no real breaks, I begin to get suspicious. Also at 12 dpo I suddenly got super nauseated and had to lie down to take a nap after work until it passed
Yesterday was Easter and AF was due. we had family in town and I had no tests in the house to take. Today when I woke to see I still hadn't started I went and got one and it was BFP :) so far my breasts are already getting huge and i have a headache but that is about it. Praying for a healthy pregnancy and no more spotting!

:) love reading these lists and kept close track this time after a miscalculated oops midcycle...and bam. bfp. :)

1dpo - slightly reduced caffeine, but SUPER tired in evening
2dpo - twinges and sharp pains in left side and heartburn after eating italian sub (could just be sub, but usually no.)
3-4dpo - nothing. just feel like normal. maybe a little boob soreness and heartburn on 4do but not noteworthy.
5dpo - full, af like feeling in uterus and below. cramps that are sharp and shoot down my legs, almost cervical. warm feeling in breasts.
6dpo - no notes
7dpo - TONS of creamy cm, falling asleep on the couch while watching tv. (bfn)
8dpo - more cramps, started out family trip to San Diego, older kids begin throwing up, I am nauseous but not sure if it's pg or because I'm dealing with tons of puke. edgy and irritable.
9dpo - bfn but some serious tooth brush gaggery and feeling like a burnt orange juice throat when i wake up
10dpo - acidic feeling in throat upon waking. major tooth brush gagging. cramps, heaviness like my period. back ache and REALLY gassy (vacation food is possible culprit)
11dpo - same acidic feeling in throat, small muscle spasm in left abdomen, feels like a baby kick. super strong sense of smell upon waking. urgent need to pee first thing in am. grab test for smu and instant bfp!

Practiced Natural Family Planning since January of 2012. In November 2012 DH and I decided we are ready to try for a baby. He threw the NFP system (which works if you do it right!!!) out the window but nothing was happening so in February we decided to use OPKs and this month we finally got out BFP at 13dpo!!!!

I had a weird dream and woke up with this strange urge to take a test. All I had was 2 cheapies from the dollar tree. I took the first one and I see a line... not dark but not faint to the point where I had to squint. It was definitely there. So I took the second one I had and there it was again..... a second line. I couldn't believe it and went to the bedroom to pray! I thanked God for all my blessings and that if it is true, THANK YOU and if it isn't I accept whatever you have in store for me!

After that I got up, checked again and then it hit me... I'm pregnant! Later that day I went to the store and bought the FRER and Clearblue digital.
I took one of each and both positive and clear as day. CB said "PREGNANT" :)

Today, I tested again in the AM and the CB still says Pregnant! After taking 6 tests total, I am thrilled and excited that we are expecting our first child! Thanks be to GOD!

For all the ladies out there, don't give up hope and faith! Trust in the Lord and he will provide! He answers prayers in his time and he is never late!!! Good luck to every one out there!

We did it... we finally it! We have been TTC for 15 months and were told by my husband urologist back in November that his sperm count was too low and after trying meds to increase it, we were still too low and told to consider in vitro if we ever wanted to get pregnant. This didn't make sense, as we already have a 4 year old.. But I felt defeated and threw in the towel and took a break...

Because we were taking a break, I was also taking a break from temping... but I knew when I ovualted based on past cycles, so although we were taking a break we someone managed to have sex at the perfect time. My last period was Feb 16, and the last time we had sex that we could have conceived was Feb 25.

March 18- I was extreamly moody. I was snapping at my husband and very hormonal. I figured my period was on its way any day. I had a horrible headache, and was peeing more than normal. I thought noting of it.

March 19-20 Same symptoms as above and was now wondering where my period was...

March 21- Still no period and very moody. I peed on a stick and voila!! The test line was beautiful..

I was in complete shock.. After 15 months if finally happened.. After being told we would never conceive, we did!!

Do not give up!! Please! I almost did and the month we stopped trying, it happened!! Doctors don't know everything :)

Hey girls, so I have been checking out this website for a while now. I used to read all the bfp stories with all these symptoms and thought wow that's a lot for so early. Well this is my second pregnancy with my husband and I thought I was getting my period up till the day I tested. So don't get too discouraged. My last pregnancy I had really sore boobs and cramping and she turned out perfect. This one I have period like cramping and I was a little crazier then normal but other then that nothing. I tested the day after my period was to start. We are so excited and I hope you all get your BFPs soon!! Good luck!

I got two positive votes in do you think I'm pregnant bfp.
Here's the breakdown: dh and I dtd in the heat of the moment three days before o tons of ewcm
Day before o cramping (never get o cramps?) Next day barely any mucus so I ovulated next day 1dpo more cramps and a gelatinous glob of ewcm with pink tinge. (Google said this is ov bleeding) uh oh I think I've ov twice. Also this happened with my first miscarriage two years ago this starts me thinking I may get preggo here. 7dpo take a bath think I feel cramps (I only get cramps in pregnancy) after bath notice brown light spotting when I wipe (implantation) next day stronger cramps tiniest dot of pink when wipe. Also I think 5dpo sudden runny nose (no other symptoms, I never get sick) this last like 4 days. Also heightened sense of smell. 9dpo and 10, 11 sudden sweet cravings, hunger super knocked out tired each day from 1-3 in afternoon (I'm the energizer bunny don't get tired) 10dpo super faint $ store bfp (think I'm seeing things) 11 dpo little darker (and after it sits for like 20min dh sees it to. Today 12dpo after 3 min and then 4 min total definately see faint line. Will keep you posted if pregnancy continues, I'm scared so prayers appreciated.

I can't believe it happened so quickly!! I have been off BC (Mirena) since the end of September but this month was our first real month trying. I just calculated when I O through tracking my cycle the previous few months & then did the BD dance starting 5 days before O till 2 days after O. I really didn't know what to expect since this was our first month trying but I did it & I am so excited for a new baby right before Christmas.

Here are my symptoms during the TWW
1DPO - nothing
2 - 3DPO - some weird twinges in my uterus area
4DPO - started to have gas & burp a lot
5DPO - same
6DPO - increased CM (white & lotiony) also still burping
7DPO - same
8DPO - same & bbs started to feel sore
9DPO - same
10DPO - same, I took my first test on a target brand one got a BFN
11DPO - still burping, bbs were more sore, CM still there. Took another test on target brand BFN
12DPO - same symptoms. Took another test on FRER got a BFP
13DPO - same symptoms
14DPO - (today) took another test on FRER got another BFP with a darker line & symptoms are still the same

So there you go, it was a long 12 days before that BFP but it was well worth it, now for an even longer wait till Dec 1st

* Here is a pic of todays BFP

After 9 months of trying, I finally got my BFP. I'm 33, my husband is 34. It happened just when I was starting to get really scared and discouraged. I don't think that anything I did differently this month was the key. It just needed time. For all those ladies that are still waiting, just hold on. It just takes time. I know it's hard. I don't think it mattered but this month I did cut back on coffee and started drinking tea as the alternative. I couldn't cut out my morning hot cup of caffeine entirely. I did put away the charting and the OPKs - it made me anxious to do all that and I knew from checking CM when I was fertile. At the first sign of EWCM, we BD'd every other day until O day. We had tried every day before and that was just too much of a chore. This was much nicer and my DH appreciated it as well. Then the wait, the dreaded wait. While in the TWW, I went a little mental and made doctor's appts for both me and my husband to start getting tested. I made an appt for acupuncture and I also ordered $100 worth of vitamins for both of us for fertility. Well, needless to say, I was shocked when at 10/11 DPO I got a clear BFP. I took another test 3 hours later and the line was even darker. So I canceled the doctor's appts and the vitamins, but I think I'll keep the acupuncture and tell the acupuncturist to help make this baby stick! As far as symptoms goes, I felt like normal but I will say that my breasts are a lot more tender, especially the nipples, and a lot more swollen than they normally are at 11 DPO. That was pretty much the only noticeable difference. As I said, nature just needed to take it's course and needed time to find the right egg and the right sperm to come together. I don't think there was much that I did or didn't do to make a difference.

2dpo- Developed thrush on my nipples.
5dpo- Stood up from the couch and felt dizzy. Had to grab the wall.
1-5dpo Felt really wet. Not like slippery cm, but almost like pee. I also had loose stools.
6dpo- Dull cramps on lower abdomen
7dpo- Still feel dull cramps and now I have a backache. Poas. Bfn
8dpo- Ouch at the backache. Not normal! Poas. Bfn
9dpo- Dull cramps and one clump of cm on panty. Only cm I've had all my luteal phase. Poas. Bfn.
10dpo- Today. Felt completely normal! Wth? Lol! Tested at evening after holding pee for 4+ hours. Bfp!!

Hi all! I've been hanging out on this website for about a week since I've started to get strange "signs" from my body. I thought it was all in my head, but it was so hard to not get obsessed! So I thought I'd share my experience, maybe some of you will find it useful. If you don't want to read the whole thing, here are my major early symptoms - implantation spotting on 10-12 dpo and cramps after orgasm (NEVER happened before).

So, my husband (29) and I (27) have not officially started ttc, but I stopped taking BCP's after the new year's to watch my cycle for a few months. I'd been on BCP's for over 7 years, so I thought it would take a while for things to get back to normal. We've been using condoms meanwhile, and "pulling out" occasionally (but once! and it just happened to be a few hours before I felt ovulation cramps..). The strange thing is, I think I felt the whole process!

0dpo - Ovulation cramps on left side (dull pressure for a few hours, then sharp for a few seconds before it stopped). It happened on cd11, 3 days earlier than my cycle app predicted based on a 28 day cycle.
8dpo - Got a pap smear
10dpo - Pink spotting and cramps after sex. I thought it may have happened because of the pap smear 2 days ago. About 2-3 nights before that I felt a localized pinching pain on one side of my uterus (or at least where I think it is). Not sure when it happened exactly, but I remember thinking through my sleep that this is a baby implanting :) In the morning, of course, I thought that that was ridiculous :)
11-12 dpo - Light brown spotting. For the first time ever I felt cramping after orgasm (sorry if that's tmi, but that was the weirdest thing after which I started to google IB and other pregnancy symptoms).
12-13 dpo - Mild lower back pain on one side which lasted for a few hours each day (which I also never get). Some breast sensitivity, nothing too major and it's been happening ever since I stopped BCP's.
14-16 dpo - "Bubbling" and warm sensation in lower abdomen, feeling "wet" down there (sorry, tmi). I kept checking for AF until the tests arrived today and one turned out to be a BFP! (I am not imagining it, right? :) ) Just hoping now that things go well, and freaking out a little bit at the same time :)

Good luck to you, girls! Hope you get your BFP soon, no matter how long you've been trying!
