BFP with Clomid

I finally got my bfp back in March, I am almost 15 weeks :) This was our 16th cycle trying. We had all the testing done and nothing was wrong so my doctor put me on clomid 50mg days 3-7. I was originally pregnant with twins but we had a disappearing twin around 6 weeks, other baby is doing great though :)
Here are my symptoms:
-nothing, really absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. I was absolutely convinced that this was not my month, I even cried to my hubby about how it was never going to happen just a few days before my bfp
-I did have increased cm the entire month, not just in my tww but I'm pretty sure it was the clomid. In my tww it was this weird stretchy, creamy stuff I've never really had before and I do still get it but I distinctly remember my cm drying up around 9 dpo.
-my boobs were very sore from around 8 or 9 dpo which is also completely normal
-very tired and hungry during entire tww, again completely normal
-I had a very small amount of spotting for a few hours on the day af was due, I was sure she was here but it stopped completely so I tested the next morning at 15 dpo and got a very dark bfp!

So the moral of the story? You can be pregnant with no unusual symptoms :)

I can't believe I am able to finally say I am pregnant! After about 7 months of trying, my doc agreed to test since I just knew something wasn't right. Turns out I wasn't ovulating. She recommended Clomid 50 mg to start. I was so hopeful but it didnt make me ovulate. Round two we upped the dose to 100 mg, I had lost 10 lbs, quit my stressful job, started accupressure and Pre-Seed. I did ovulate but still no BFP. This month, I repeated the 100 mg along with the accupressure and Pre-Seed, but I also added Robitussin. Yesterday, after days of sore bb's and no other symptoms I decided to randomly test, 12dpo. I only had two ept digitals left so I took one. I couldn't believe when it read PREGNANT! I guess I was so used to negatives I couldn't believe it so I took the other digital 2 hours later and it was negative. Wow what a way to screw with my head lol! I ran out and bought two FRER non digital tests. Ths morning, I took one with FMU and got a super faint line. If it weren't for the previous positive digital I probably would have tossed it out! And then this evening I confirmed with yet another positive FRER, this time the line was light but darker than the previous test. So thats 3 BFP! I know these forums helped me through all the emotions every month and I really was losing hope. I read so many peoples stories and didn't feel so alone. I want all of you waiting for that BFP to try not to lose faith! It finally is my turn and it was all worth it seeing that BFP! :)

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year. I had a laparoscopy and a hysteroscopy in February to remove endometriosis and a uterine septum. This is our 2nd cycle trying post-surgery. Before surgery I had done 2 cycles of Clomid, that were successful in achieving ovulation but not pregnancy. This is our first cycle of Clomid after the surgery. We are beyond thrilled!! I quit drinking caffeine in February. I exercise with yoga and on the elliptical. We also had an HSG in March, and some people say that there is an increase in pregnancy rates for about 3 months post-HSG.

CD 2: Appointment with RE. Ultrasound to check for cysts. Very large cyst on left ovary. RE says to come back in a week.
CD 8: Ultrasound with RE to check on cyst. Cyst still there, but getting smaller.
CD 13: Ultrasound with RE to check on cyst. Cyst gone! Start Clomid today!
CD 13-17: Clomid 50 mg (later start of Clomid than I even knew was possible, but my RE is the expert!)
CD 21: BD
CD 22: Ultrasound with RE to check on follicle growth. 4 follicles present, 3 at 25mm and 1 at 15mm. All in right ovary. Positive OPK in the afternoon right after RE appointment.
CD 23: Ovulation, BD - laid with a pillow under my hips for about 30 minutes post-BD. Used Conceive Plus (which is like Preseed).
1 DPO: nothing
2 DPO: nothing
3 DPO: twingy/crampy feeling in ovaries
4 DPO: twingy/ crampy feeling in ovaries, sensitive nipples
5 DPO: twingy/ crampy feeling in ovaries, sensitive nipples
6 DPO: sensitive nipples, vivid dream
7 DPO: sensitive nipples, breast tenderness, cramping feeling in pelvic area, constipated, vivid dreams, gums bled a little when flossing
8 DPO: sensitive nipples, breast tenderness, twingy/crampy feeling in left ovary, mild breakout on forehead, constipated, vivid dreams, thick-white-creamy CM
9 DPO: nipple sensitivity, breast tenderness, creamy-white-lotiony CM, cramps on left and ride sides throughout the day
10 DPO: nipple sensitivity, breast tenderness, creamy-white CM, vivid dream, pulling feeling on pubic bone
11 DPO: nipple sensitivity, breast tenderness, constipated, heavy/pulling feeling in uterus, pain/cramps in ovaries when stretching/transitioning from sitting to standing. Vivid dream. Bloated in the afternoon – it feels like I’m really full.
12 DPO: nipple sensitivity, breast tenderness, cramps in abdomen, bloated feeling, pulling feeling on pubic bone, lower back pain on right side. Broke down and took a pregnancy test (First Response) – BFP!!!! 2nd pink line came up within about 10 seconds and it was dark.
13 DPO: Took a digital First Response Early Result test this morning. YES +! :) Just love looking at that thing! Nipples and breasts are still tender. Still have the bloated feeling. Creamy CM.

Things that were different for me this cycle: twinges and cramps in my ovaries and uterus constantly. I have never felt that before. I can never feel my ovaries, even when they have huge cysts on them. Also, lotion-like CM on 9DPO, bloated feeling, and the vivid dreams. Breast tenderness and nipple sensitivity are normal for me so I didn't pay too much attention to that until it didn't stop. Usually it gets less intense the day before I start. I pretty much always have an 11 day LP. So when it was day 12 and my breasts still hurt I got suspicious.

Good luck to everyone with their BFPs!!!!

28 years old with PCOS, diagnosed in January. I always knew something was wrong but finally got answers. They started me on Clomid and I did three cycles of that. This month I had my 21 day progesterone tested (actually it was day 22 cause 21 was Sunday) I was devasted to hear it was a 7. The first month it was an 11, the 2nd month it was a 13 and we had no idea why it was so low this month. I really thought I wasn't going to get it this month.

I think we missed the window the first two months, but this month we were determined. So we BD's every night between days 10-25 except twice, which was days 17 and 19. I just went directly to sleep afterward without standing up. We used Pre-Seed a couple times. I never noticed the eggwhite cervical mucous this month, so I was afraid I hadn't O'd. But I guess I did!!

I swore I felt weird pinching on days 8 and 9 post ovulation so it must have been implantation. But that progesterone of 7 had me sure I wasn't going to be pregnant. I took a pregnancy test about 11 dpo and it was a BFN. Then I decided to take one on 14 DPO not thinking it would change. It didn't change instantly so I just laid it to the side and waited for AF. In the moring when I got ready for work, I happened to pick it up and there were two pink lines!!! I was so excited but skeptical, I was shaking. So I went and bought another test and tested at work, and there was a plus sign. :)

I called my Dr and told her I was pregnant so she ordered the blood tests. I went and did those right away. My HCG was 50 and my progesterone was still only 13. I think they are going to put me on the suppositories just to be safe. I will get blood work again tomorrow to make sure my HCG doubles. I bought natural progesterone cream from amazon and I am rubbing that on a few times a day to be safe until we figure out the progesterone deal.

Other than thinking the implantation cramping, I had no symptoms. I have a three year old (conceived naturally after 3 years) and I was sick with him so I thought for sure I would have symptoms, but I didnt find out till I was six weeks with him.

Good luck to everyone that is trying!!!

OMG - I'm so excited. I know that this tww is just the killer and there is nothing to do but just WAIT!!!!!

I have two boys, 14 and 9.... We have not been on any birth control for over 15 years so we were wondering why we don't have any more kids. When we decided to really try again, I didn't want to wait a year of trying to we moved to doing fertility to speed up things since I'm turning 38 this month.... Here is what I did and felt?
I was on 150 Clomid on day 3-7
Went in for an US and they found 3 normal follicles. Size 17, 12, 12
2nd US, uh oh, there is 4 follicles now.... WOW.... Good chance they said. Size 21, 20, 15, 15
Trigger the shot the next day and 2 days later, when in for an IUI....
Day 1 - Cramping but low (figured my blood is killing off my husband sperm)
Day 2 - Cramping - False Positive (I wanted to see when the HCG shot was out of my system)
Day 3 - Cramping - just felt like something was going on..... False Positive
Day 4 - Cramping - Same feeling, my stomach started to bloat, feeling dizzy sometime and a head ache, runny nose, peeing like crazy false positive
Day 5 - Cramping - Same feeling as day before but I noticed when I wiped there was a little pink spot.... hmmm , peeing like crazy NEGATIVE TEST
Day 6 - Cramping - Dizzy and headache, running nose again, still peeing, BFN
Day 7 - Just cramping at night and my pants are right, I must be need to poop....lol.... Call my RE to see what I can take. I don't feel bad, just my stomach is bloated and it isn't going down. - BFN
Day 8 - Less cramping but I did go to the bathroom... That night, gassy and thinking, all this cramping is just me needing to go the bathroom.. BFN
Day 9 - Crying to my husband, thinking I'm not pregnant... I told him I don't feel pregnant and I'm just getting fat and this doesn't make sense. He said we will try again next month. I felt so different, I didn't have any cramps but I was still peeing and that's not normal.
Day 10 - 5:00am, BFP (on 2 HPT) and now I went in to do blood work.... So I should get a official blood tomorrow.

There is hope and I just couldn't believe that it happened on the first try.... Now I have to wait to have an ultrasound in 2 weeks.
I'm continuing to pray and hope all goes well.

Hello Ladies,
I came here nearly everyday for so long and was so grateful for the women who shared. We recieved our BFP on April 28th, but I waited until it was confirmed with a blood test before posting here. When I saw the lines, I didn't believe it and tested again to be sure, then I cried and thanked God. Oh, and told the hubby!
Our story: Hubby is fine, he started out with lower morphology but we were able to turn that around with the fertility life vitamin, no alcohol, and he stopped training for his triathlon. I, have PCOS, Endometriosis, recently had 5 polyps removed, and was anovulatory. Also have a tilted cervix. Before this round I lost 20 lbs. We did two separate 5day clomid doses (stair stepping) followed by a trigger shot and IUI. (two beautiful follies)
1-5 dpo: Nothing special and what symptoms I did have were clomid and trigger shot related. (swollen ovaries)
6-8 dpo: Slight breast tenderness, mild/occasional cramps, and tmi mild diarrhea
9-12 dpo: Extreme fatigue (going to sleep at 7 after having fallen aslepp in the middle of the afternoon), breast tenderness more severe, and mild cramping
13 dpo: Thick creamy cm with a pick tint, breasts, fatigue, and cramping still
14 dpo: Woke Up dizzy, other symptoms continued.
BFP!
Sticky dust to all of you.
I hope you get your BFP soon!

I promised myself that I would post my success story if it ever happened. I am now 13 weeks pregnant. Things I used/did to get pregnant: 50 mg Clomid (3rd month), had an HSG 2 months before bfp, Mucinex (2x a day starting 2 days before ovulation and ending 4 days after), preseed, and sex every day 3 days leading up to ovulation, day of ovulation, and 2 days after, and laid with my legs up for 20-30 minutes after sex. I also didn't drink any caffeine or alcohol. I used the Clearblue Ovulation Predictor. I got a bfp 3 days before my period was due. I took tests morning and night for the next 3 days and got all positives. On February 23rd, I went to get bloodwork done to check my HCG level. It was 340! I don't think there is a better feeling than being told YOU'RE PREGNANT! Symptoms: I started getting sore breasts 4 days after ovulation. I had some very light bleeding (pink) 6 days after ovulation. My right breast was noticeably bigger than the left. I was also exhausted that whole day. The day before my first bfp and 4 days before my period, I noticed small bumps on my nipples and I had a slight pain in my right ovary. I had a good feeling I might get a positive the next day and I did! Biggest Signs I was pregnant: tender/swollen breasts and pain in right ovary. Good luck everyone! It's a tough road, but you'll get your positive!

Hi to all. Reading all of your stories during this wait gave me hope and now I'm here sharing my own!

We've been trying to conceive for 2.5 years... I had 2 early miscarriages (one Nov 2011 then March 2012). We took a break from TTC for 6 months and when we decided to try again my Dr put me on Clomid. I got my BFP on 1st round. Took Clomid CD 3-7, then trigger shot on CD 14, BD on CD 14, 16 and 19; had progesterone test taken on CD 21 and results were 40 nmol/L.

I didn't have any symptoms compared as to when I feel AF is coming... only that I've been very sleepy and hungry! No implantation bleeding, some watery clear CM.

I'm beyond happy but also scared.. hoping and praying this baby sticks!
Good luck to all of you :)

Hello ladies, I wanted to share my story, this site really helped me on the past months.
Background: I have a 6 year old from a previous marriage. I am 27 and husband 31.
We started trying last year on June after I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks, and I didn't know I was pregnant as we weren't trying.

We started trying on July of last year. I did OPK Cb every month, check Cm and temperature. I usually ovulate between CD 12 and 14. With a 26-28 says cycle.

Every month I would think I was pregnant and always got my period. Last month I took Clomid from CD 2-6. And nothing. This month I didn't, because it made me really moody.
I also stopped taking b6; b12; mucinex, EPO and everything else. I did do opk. I ovulated late on Cd 17' thought it was from last month Clomid, but wasn't sure. (Thought I might have not ovulated at all)

I had sex on Cd 15 and 17 only around ovulation. Not like other months that I would start 5 days before and after ovulation.

On dpo 9 I had a faint dollar tree HPT. My friend couldn't see it. At night that same day I did a Frer AND got a second line, husband couldn't see it. 10dpo in the morning got pregnant on Cb. I was extremely happy.

Symptoms: not many compared to other months
felt with fever on 8 dpo.
6 dpo my throat started hurting. Thought it was allergies.
From 6dpo felt tired and hot. No implantation pain or bleeding.

This month I was relaxed and really didn't tried hard. I wanted to star exercising for summer and smoked a cigarette from time to time. I had quit from last year.

I even thought Clomid didn't help last month. It did the trick this one, since it can stay in the system for a while. I was losing hope.

I should be around 7 weeks now, and have my doctor appointment for next week. Praying for a sticky babe.

Good luck to everyone, don't lose hope. It will happen when you least expect it!!
I started taking all my vitamins again, and I am feeling hungry all the time, really sleepy.

Babe dust to all the ladies here :-)

Wow, I can't believe I'm here actually writing about my own BFP!
Where do I even start?
After 1 long year and 9 months, my fiance and I have finally fallen pregnant for the first time!
I would come to this site without a doubt every single month, and try to match my symptoms with other ladies ones, in hope that they were real and that it was finally my time. I would note every twinge, every weird symptom possible I would try to match it. Through doing this I learned, no matter what symptom you think you have, whether it be an itchy knee or hair loss, if you google 'itchy knee early pregnancy symptom', something WILL come up matching it.
I was diagnosed with PCOS three years ago, and never thought much of it until we started trying for a baby and nothing was happening. The PCOS made my periods VERY irregular, at one stage I didn't ovulate for 9 months.
In October of 2012 I was referred from my GP to a specialist at our hospital, where I attended appointments every 6 weeks. After much poking and prodding, blood tests and scans, the specialist decided to put me forward for surgery in which I would have a dye test in my tubes to make sure they weren't blocked, and for a bit of exploring too I suppose.

I had my surgery on 12.12.12 and when I woke up a nurse told me good news, that my tubes weren't blocked.
It took me a few weeks to recover from the surgery because I picked up an infection from the hospital, but once I was recovered I attended another appointment with my specialist, where they put me on Clomid for days 2-6 of my cycle.
Because I wasn't getting my period naturally, I was also put on Norethisterone, which brought on an aritifical period, to kick start my Clomid cycle.

Once that kick started it, I didn't have to take any more of those particular pills. These pills gave me some side effects....
* Feeling sick
* Headaches
* Bloated
* Feeling tired

Clomid also gave me some side effects as well...
* VERY sore boobs and nipples (usually noticeable two weeks after taking Clomid, and lasts until just after my period starts)
* Bloating and abdominal pains
* Vaginal Dryness
* Feeling sick

Clomid actually mimicked pregnancy symptoms I believe, giving me false hope... BUT on my 2nd cycle of Clomid (I had to do days 5-9 because my appointment was scheduled later than it should have been) I finally got my BFP.

I was using OPK's and they seemed a little confusing to me because I didn't know if the second line was dark enough to be thought of as ovulating or not, so we just had sex whenever we could. I noticed my EWCM and this is how I usually tell when I am ovulating, or about to. So we had sex that night, and instead of getting straight up to 'clean up' I turned around and put a pillow under my bum and put my legs up on the headboard. I felt silly doing this, so my darling fiance did it with me to make me feel a bit better about it hahaha, he is very sweet. We did this 'duet bum lift' every time we had sex for about half an hour afterwards. We had sex every night after that show of EWCM for about four nights.

I actually started taking my temperatures this cycle because I had heard it can help to detect pregnancy and ovulation. I will list my symptoms below from 7DPO.

7DPO:
- Temperature of 36.8 at 9pm.
