Hello Ladies,
I can't believe I am finally able to write this but I got my first BFP yesterday on Father's Day!! Me and DH are both 25 and have been TTC for 7 months. I've had really irregular cycles during a few of which I don't think I was even ovulating. I ovulated around the 7th of June and got my BFP on 9 DPO!! We were up early and I decided to take a test before we went to Father's Day breakfast with my dad. There was the faintest of faint BFP!! Even DH saw it! we didn't want to get our hopes up though since it was so faint so I decided to take a digital today and sure enough there it was "PREGNANT". No denying that!!
So breakdown of symptoms:
O-day: I had the worst migraine ever which is not abnormal for when I ovulate.
1-5 DPO: Nothing really sore nipples but this is normal right after ovulation for me.
6 DPO: Very loose bm's (TMI) and ++ cramping, thought AF was coming since this is usually when I start spotting.
7 DPO: Still no sign of AF, I could smell EVErYTHING today, the air conditioning smelled, flowers stunk and DH did too:) weird
8 DPO: Still no AF, still smelling everything, BB's are aching like crazy which is also weird since its usually just my nipples right after ovulation that hurt. They feel on fire.
9 DPO: First BFP!! very faint, feeling nauseated all day.
10 DPO: Digitial BFP!! nausea persists. but I am sooooo excited!!
Good luck to those wishing for their BFPs!! Baby dust to all!!

I have waited 7 long years for this moment! I have a 9 year old son and have been trying two years after him! I have been through hell and back! I have been through many test, unexplained infertility, and many cycles of clomid! I have a 26-30 day cycle (basically whenever it decided to show up!). DH and I decided to give up a couple of years ago and well...this year just seemed to be the year we decided to try again! I was started on 50mg of clomid. This time, I decided to try Pre-Seed! I have heard that it's helped so many and I'm so glad I tried!

Here is what I went through!

Clomid Days 3-7
Positive O on CD 12
We BD on the day of the positive and two days after!

1-9 DPO - Nothing! No symptons whatsoever!
10 DPO - The fun seems to start!, my left bb was only hurting?! weird! headache, cramps, irratable
11 DPO - Headache gone, can't sleep, extremely irratable. DH cannot touch me, everything annoys me! very tired! hungry, white creamy cm , nausea
12DPO - Cramps, very tired, more hungry, DH tired of my attitude!! Decided to test...OMG OMG BFP!!!!!! Shaking unbelieveably, one day t'll fathers day!!! Can't believe my eyes!!
13DPO - Cramps are on and off, feels just like AF cramps, so scared, keep running to the bathroom, lots of CM. Very tired, waves of nausea

I am still in disbelief, I am so scared and excited! Never-Ever give up hope!! Be willing to say to yourself you will never give up!! and be open to trying new things! Baby Dust to all !!!!!!

So yesterday I realized that I had a one day temp drop on my chart at 8 dpo and I was having cramps, I never have cramps early so I decided I would go buy a couple tests even though it was early I was was fully expecting the tests to be negative but they were not! I still cannot believe I am pregnant. This month I thought I didn't even have a chance because I had nose surgery right around ovulation time that seriously impacted our bd schedule but the time off work probably helped me to relax. I will do my best to remember the symptoms by dpo, here goes...

1-8- Nothing
8- Temp drop, cramps, headache, eggwhite cm it was stretchy and clear, a little bit of nausea and lightheadedness at night.
9- Temp back up, creamy cm, some weird cramps in the morning that were really strong but they were really low and more in the hip/top of thigh area (ligaments stretching?), nausea, very sore breasts (they are typically sore before AF but nothing close to this), bloating (I look 4 months pregnant),
10- Cramps on and off, headache, nausea, bloated, sore breasts, exhausted, positive test!

So that's it that I can think of right now. I have felt a little foggy brained and I have been having the most vivid strange dreams at night, they are so weird!

I've been stalking this site a lot since DH and I decided to stop using BC at the beginning of the year! It was funny, as we had planned to just let it happen, but as soon as we were off the BC the control freak in me wanted results... and after the first month, I started wondering is something wrong with me? us?
This surprised me, as I always thought, I would be ok with just letting it happen....

After reading so many blogs and stories of women TTC I discovered a whole new world of support, advice and tools and this became my secret pastime as I didn't want my DH to know how quietly obsessed I was becoming... I loved getting to know my body and how it talked to me to let me know flag-signals to when to BD! I was amazed!

So for those of you who love the symptoms (as I did), I tracked them as I promised myself if my day ever came, I would share mine. You gotta pay it forward!

I had been keeping track of my periods for about 2 years now, so I knew that my cycle was roughly 30 days. I pinpointed cycle day 12-17 as my fertile days and decided to test with an Clearblue ovulation kit (liked that it gave you a smiley face... cute!). I was also testing my CM, as I thought that was my best bet.

We BD cycle day 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17.
I first did an O test on cycle day 15 and it was negative, but noticed EWCM in the afternoon and by morning the O test was positive... so I knew I had a good chance. (we hadn't quite nailed BD on O day in past months).

1DPO - CM was watery and I woke up BAM! sore boobs, I do usually get tender BBS leading up to AF but, have never linked this to Ovulation - cause I didn't know quite when that was happening, so this might have been due to conception or just what always happens? I'm not sure.... but they were heavy and v tender.
I also had one BIG stabbing pain in my lower abdomen... it was like a knife for about 5 sec. Hard to miss.

2DPO - Sore BBS still (this didn't stop) and sneezed a few times today.

3DPO - Sore BBS, especially when I remove my bra, can see veins, almost no CM

4DPO - Woke up and boobs not as sore... they returned in the afternoon/evening

6DPO - Sore boobs (broken record) feeling a little tired, so take a nap during the afternoon.... big mistake as am awake half the night!

7DPO - I have started a bad sleeping cycle, I am whacked by late afternoon, crash, then wake up and alert until 2-3am! Today I also had some brown CM, I google this, and its perfect timing for implantation bleeding... start to suspect that something is going on down there! Have a few cramps in lower back and pelvis.
Have noticed more veins appearing on bbs - they get darker as the days go by.

8PDO - Very tiny bit of Pink CM, feeling twinges and cramps in my lower back. Still not sleeping.... it's driving me crazy! Going to the toilet more frequently... especially just as I was drifting off to sleep! V annoying.

9DPO - I am going to self combust! I am on fire, I didn't test my temperature, but DH said that I was even hot to touch!

10DPO - Still feeling over heated - air con is on arctic temperatures, DH is layering up! My gums bled today when I brushed my teeth, not uncommon for me, but it hasn't happened in a long time. Went to the gym, didn't have much energy at all... when I was exercising it felt like I had yoghurt in my lower throat! V thirsty.

11DPO - Went to the gym again. Same thick feeling in throat... but only when I'm exercising. Tiny cramps in pelvis.

12DPO - Thick throat, sore veiny bbs, peeing... this is my life now!

13DPO - DH calls to say we've been invited to Bday drinks tomorrow night, I have a sneaking suspicion that I shouldn't be drinking and should take a test just to be on the safe side! I did a test in the evening at about 7pm in the Supermarket toilets.... I've held out for 13 days... I couldn't wait to take the test until I got home! HAHA
A faint line, but it's a line - BFP!!! I'm so excited. I go back to the supermarket and get a Father's Day card for DH and after writing a note, I put the (cleaned) BFP test in there! It was such a special moment telling him... he had no idea!
Now just hoping that the little one holds on in there!

I wanted to say once again to all you ladies who write down your stories, you really saved me and gave me amazing knowledge and advice to achieve my goal. I had no idea where to start! I hope this helps someone out there in this TWW world! Good luck ladies! xx

I promised *when*, not if, I got my BFP I would type out all my symptoms and thoughts day by day to help you fellow two week waiters through the restless nights of wondering. I sure did alot of that and thought I was losing my mind!

I have not always felt ovulation. I only started feeling it since I took the Plan B pill a year and a half ago, which I strongly advise against. I think it is to blame for my onset of anxiety attacks. I always got my period one day earlier, i.e. 18th, 17th, 16th etc. In April 2013 I got it on the 14th. May was the 13th. I flew to SC to see my boyfriend the weekend of May 25-27th. We TTC twice on sat and sun (25th and 26th) and once the morning of the 27th before my flight back home to MA. When I woke up that morning I was nauseous, in a way I had never felt before. I just felt pregnant. But I don't think I ovulated yet haha.

On the plane home, cramps set in and it was the same cramps I got every month for one day always 14 days after my LMP. 13th-27th, right on track. I felt pregnant for a few days, then doubted it for a day or two, then felt it again and was uncertain right before my BFP. Here's a day by day breakdown of symptoms:

O day: Cramps, nausea

1DPO: Cramping

2DPO: Cramping, Craving chocolate

7DPO: Itchy all over, Cramps, Backache, Right side back twinges, Headaches, Abundant CM Clear milk like (this has stayed since and increased), Morning Fatigue, Runny Nose, Metal Taste

8DPO: Tingly boob for a moment but no other feelings so far, AF like Cramps, Very Leaky, Twinges in Tummy, VERY HUNGRY (like eat and 20 minutes later stomache growls all day long without fail), Morning Fatigue, Indigestion, Gas, Intense Backache, Constipated

9DPO: BFP! Headaches, Minor Cramping, Hot Flashes, Backache, Bloated, Gas

11DPO: BFP(pink line keeps getting darker and I had better results at night) Headache, Hungry, Twinges, Stuffy Nose, Fatigue, Boobs start to feel slightly sore if I poke the sides hard enough

12DPO: BFP! Anxiety for the first time since i stopped my medicine when I left SC, Thirsty, Dry Mouth, Pee more, Cramping, Warm

13DPO: BFP! (last pink one before my digital) Hungry, Pee more, Minor Cramping, Metal Taste

14DPO: BFP digital! Boobs hurt! Roadmaps appear, Gross Taste in mouth, Minor Cramps, Twinges, Bad Diarrhea :(

15DPO: Cold Feet (literally), Boobs more sore, Hungry, missed period, Fatigue, Vision not as good, Cramping, Craving Peanut Butter

16DPO: (TODAY) Bleeding gums, Twinges, Hot Flashes, Headache, Constipation and Cramping.

On a side note, I started temping at 8DPO thinking I could see implantation and I'm not sure if I did soon enough but my temp has gone up and down everyday and stays around 97.6 which I thought was low, but yet BFP!
I think it is a boy. I want a boy, and I feel like he's in there :)

Good Luck to everyone, Baby Dust!!!!

So blessed and thankful to finally receive BFP. My BF and I have been trying to conceive for 3.5 years with a M/C 3 years ago. In October of 2012, he went in to have a specimen sample. All #'s were great. A relief yes... but now we have to figure out what is wrong with me. I was on BC for 8+ years which I believe to have messed up my hormones after. Irregular cylces made it difficult to determine when I would ovulate. Some months it would be a 32 day cycle and other months 66 day cycle.

Tried 50 mg Clomid X 2, earlier this year and it didn't work for me because it thinned out my lining something that is common with Clomid. This cycle - I used Femara 2.5 mg on days 3-7. Trigger shot on day 14 with a 21 mm follicle.

BD- Day 12, Day 14, Day 17 - Used Pre-Seed for the first time. Good stuff!!!

Temperature spiked on Day 18 so I'm thinking I ovulated on Day 17. Not exactly sure because my temp was increasing by .2, .3 and on Day 18 it jumped by .6.

Ovulation day: 97.6
1 dpo: 98.2
2 dpo: 97.9
3 dpo: 97.92
4 dpo: 97.4 and woke up with swollen gums and the sniffles. Implantation? Had my 21 day progesterone completed. Found out 5.4. Anything >3 = ovulation. Good news.
5 dpo: 97.7
6 dpo: 97.6
7 dpo: 97.5. BFP with FRER at night. Noticed spotting. cramping in lower back, Called Dr. to request a second Progesterone test.. and HCG Beta Test.

8dpo: 97.55. BFP with another FRER in the morning. Still spotting. Moody, sore boobs, cramping in lower back, HCG and Progesterone Test. (Dr. initially didn't want to do another Progesterone.. but I pushed for it).. HCG: 15 miu/ml,

9 dpo: 97.7 Spotting, cramping, moody, tired. Sore boobs.

10 dpo: 97.7 BFP with ClearBlue digital Progesterone: 2 ng/ml (Super LOW Progesterone!!!! It apparently drops) Dr. immediately prescribed Prometrium 200 mg. I took it right away. Very scared.

11 dpo: 97.9: HCG at 50 miu/ml. Great to see it rise.

Fast forward to 16 dpo: I've been taking prometrium religiously at night, went in for HCG test and Progesterone. HCG came back with 981.26 miu/ml. Amazing. Hopefully Progesterone will be in the good range. Praying for good #'s.

Going in for 7 week U/S in 2 weeks. Praying for more good news.

Tried for 3 months last year and took a break to 'find myself'... cheese I know but I needed to make sure I was trying for #3 for the right reasons. Plus I was getting a bit stressed about it all :-/ I started college, volunteering, swimming..art.. Writing you name it. I still wanted it. So we started trying again in March, my cycles are so irregular it's unreal but we got there!! Well here's my symptoms, little nausea and spots and a little heartburn.. Identical to cycles ending in af sooo yeah. I am soo happy but will be a lot more at ease when my test gets darker!! Gl to you all, I'm obese but fit and have the wonky cycles but me and dh got there in the end. Wishing you all luck xxx

Wow so I never...really expected this would happen! I guess I'm that mixture of thrilled and terrified that this kind of news creates. Here are my symptoms-none of the ones I expected or was thinking about, of course.
O- lots of EWCM, much more than I usually get, on CD 15 ( a Monday). BD the Saturday a.m., and Sunday and Monday nights
1-10 dpo- no real suspicions. The things I noticed during this time were a couple of odd spots in places I'd never usually get them, and thinking that my DF smelled bad/weird whenever I got close. But I just thought that the spots were due to weather changes and that my DF hadn't been having showers...poor guy!
11 dpo- metallic taste in mouth, lots of watery cm, literally dripping (sorry if tmi)
12 dpo-lots of watery cm again
13 dpo- some really bad stomach cramps during dinner, thought I had eaten too much, constipation, gassy
14 dpo- gassy, constipated, very short of breath when taking a short walk, woke up with waves of nausea that made me start suspecing
15 dpo- AF due. Nausea throughout the day. I'm on a really regular 28 day cycle and I was expecting it at any moment. Felt crampy, twinges on both sides of lower abdomen, constipation, needing to pee a lot. Really really moody. Nearly cried when something went wrong with my train ticket- and I'm normally a very cheerful person.
16 dpo- No AF in the morning. BBT was 98.6. Watery cm, but on the whole quite dry. So surprised. I go and buy a pregnancy test and take it in the supermarket bathroom because I'm too impatient. BFP appears really quickly...can't believe it! Needing to pee a lot, and nausea during the day. Feeling quite warm. Don't enjoy the taste of chocolate, but it might be the shock.
And here I am! My first ever pregnancy (I'm 23)...and I'm starting to realise I really don't know what's in store. Would appreciate any help etc, especially with telling Christian parents as I'm not married yet.

I'm totally new to this and pretty scared to be honest! This wasn't really planned, but I'm that mixture of thrilled and terrified that I guess we all feel when we get that first bfp.
O- First signs of ewcm in ages, lots of BD the 3 days before and the day of O
1 dpo- 10 dpo: Didn't really think about it, nothing unusual, except some moodiness and fatigue, finding that my DF smells kind of bad/weird?
11 dpo- Lots of creamy cm, way more than ever before, metallic taste
12 dpo- Same as above
13 dpo- Nausea waves in morning, couldn't get up, stabby pains in stomach
14 dpo- Nausea again, starting to suspect
15 dpo- Nausea in am, so moody, I've never felt so depressed, anxious, or spaced out in my life! I feel nuts... I'm usually very cheerful but this is just odd. Almost like I'm on the outside of my life looking in and I just know it's going to be awful... Af due today, no signs! And I'm never late
16 dpo- Nausea in morning, feeling hot, lower back pain. Take a pregnancy test in the supermarket bathrooms because I'm so impatient... Bfp!! Any of you who are mothers and have been through this, please help. I'm thrilled but never thought it would happen so soon
