BFP with PCOS

Even though we finally got our positive test after three months of finally seeing the reproductive specialist/endocrinologist! Before that it was a total of 2 yrs trying after our first child turned one! So thankful and give all glory to God! I took metformin 850 mg twice a day, parlodel to lower prolactin, synthroid to lower thyroid levels, prenatal and a baby aspirin. Thankfully all these combined leveled out hormones and I was able to ovulate! Got a positive pregnancy test 10 days after ovulation which I followed with answer 20 day ovulation kit. I used this same kit while trying with my first and it works awesome and is just under 20 bucks! It's good for women as myself who have longer cycles or ovulate at all different times! I highly recommend! Good luck and God bless all you sweet women out there still waiting. It is the hardest part I know. But one day the wait will be over in a flash!

Finally after years of trying I can say "I'm PREGNANT" Can't believe it! I have stalked this site for years and always dreamed of contributing my story. I started trying in April 2009. Have gone through many rounds of clomid and was told by the doctor that the only way I will probably get pregnant is through IUI or IVF. Since I don't have the finances for those I pretty much just gave up until I became rich in the future (If that would ever happen). This cycle I had one prescription left of my prometrium and I started taking Vitex (which did wonders, it took my pain away) I also lost 70 pounds. So here are my symptoms even though this month I stopped stressing and calculating every little thing.

CD 18 - Ovulation
3dpo-12dpo- Hungry and very tired, I slept and ate a lot this week... I am known to binge so I never thought it could be that.
12-13dpo- Cramping low down in the pubic bone on and off
14dpo- BFP in the PM, before I drank wine just to see. I was exhausted and had nausea on and off. Very tired but sleepless, still have cramps
15-17dpo- Cramping, hot flashes, nausea, exhausted (like can't keep my eyes open at all) LARGE breasts and very sore nipples. Broken Cappilaries on my arm too (never seen these before)

Due Date is January, 16 2014... Can't wait... This only happened by power of prayer, God has listened to me over and over and he now is giving me my time, I love him so much... this would have never happened without him!

I am now 5 weeks pregnant and still exhausted and have cramps on and off

I have spent the last several days stalking this site. I am amazed that I am actually here posting.

Me: 29
Partner: 34

This was our first month trying. I have an almost 3 year old from a previous relationship. It took 3.5 years to conceive my 3 year old. I have an abnormal form of PCOS. Started with Letrazole days 3-7 of cycle.

-2 dpo trigger shot and BD
-1 dpo I was out of town no symptoms
0 dpo received positive OPT in the morning, BD that night
1 dpo emotional dry
2 dpo emotional dry
3 dpo very emotional dry
4 dpo I "knew" I was pregnant, started getting sore BB dry
5-6 dpo same as 4 dpo
7 dpo felt cramping, but not like af cramping, more like a pulling, that evening I had what I think was implant bleeding (4-5 drops of bright red blood almost like I had a cut)
8 dpo felt very sick in the afternoon (gagged 3 times, sorry tmi) pulling feeling continued
9 dpo no symptoms
10 dpo small amount of creamy cm, sore BB, felt sick again in the afternoon
11 dpo bfn in the morning, sore BB, felt a little sick, a little more creamy cm, bfp at 5pm!

I FINALLY GOT MY BFP AFTER 8 yrs of trying. I dd try naturally for 6 .5 yrs and then I tried clomid for 6 cycles after no success we decided to take a break... I moved onto injections. It only took ONE CYCLE! I got my BFP on mothers day. I went and had beta today I'm 14dpo and my hcg is at 136. Does anyone kno if these are high enough? Or seem high enough? From what I've seen it's rather good....

My period was 6 days late. I was having symptoms that matched up with my usual PMS symptoms - but no AF! I was so frustrated and felt like I was crazy. I peed on two sticks and BFN. I happen to go to my family doctor for an annual allergy medicine refill and I requested a blood test. The next day I got the call with a BFN. I was disappointed, sure, but more confused because STILL no period. Friends and sisters told me to just move on, but I still didn't feel like it was time yet. Yesterday I happened to be at a store and there was a sale on pregnancy tests, so I decided to stock up considering we are 'trying' and it never hurts to have extra. "Just for fun" I took one of the tests - at this point I was 15 days late and no AF but my boobs hurt a little- and BAM. There it was! BFP!!! I took two more tests thinking they were malfunctioning or something- nope! All BFPs!

I want to take this time to encourage all of you and let you know that even if multiple tests come back BFN and you think it's the end of the word- DON'T GIVE UP! Try not to let it get you down! You never know- you could be like me and find that 3 negatives do turn into a big fat positive!!!

I have read the BFP stories on a daily basis. They give me hope. So, I hope this gives someone some hope as well. A little history. I am 32 and DH is 34 turning 35 in three weeks. We have been married over 5 years and have been actively trying for 4 years now for our first child. We did get pregnant a little over a year ago but miscarried around 7 weeks. I was devastated to say the least. After the miscarriage, we took a little time off and then started trying again. I decided to finally go to an OB and seek medication. I have PCOS and endometriosis. She started me on Clomid in November of 2012 and I did that for 5 cycles. Then last month (April) I was put on Femara 5mg daily. Guess it did the trick because I got my BFP on May 4 (14DPO). Now, I really believe some other factors came into play as well.

I just quit my job about 5 weeks ago because it was extremely stressful and a really bad situation. I truly believe that my body was finally able to relax this past month because I was no longer working there. During this past month I also worked out every day (just 30-40 mins. of walking) but I could feel the difference. We have tried a lot of things, and if I had the magic formula then hey we'd all be pregnant. But, I have learned that everyone is different and it comes down to timing as well.

I know some of you out there want to know about symptoms so here you go: I was extremely tired starting 8DPO and it continues! I can hardly stay awake. I also have been experiencing mild cramps since 12DPO. I also had severe headaches last week but they have subsided and I'm starting to feel just kind of yucky with my tummy. That's it.

I guess I just want to say that I know it's hard and I understand the struggle. My heart is burdened for all of us who struggle so hard to just be moms! My journey isn't over, but I'm going forward with a positive outlook and huge faith in God. None of this is possible without God. We have been praying as well as our families and friends for this little one for many years. Keep the hope and faith alive.

I never get my period (maybe a few times a year), so when I got it in March, we decided to try TTC. My opks were positive most of the time (because of PCOS). I thought I might have ovulated because of other symptoms, although my temperatures never changed. At a doctor's visit about 7dpo, she told me I didn't ovulate that month, probably never ovulate, and would need to force a period with Provera, then try Clomid in order to get pregnant.

So I took an HPT at 12dpo (BFN) before I started Provera. 7 days after I finished the cycle, I wasn't bleeding...I had crazy symptoms, and my boobs felt like they were going to explode. I knew that it could take up to two weeks to start bleeding after Provera, but I wanted to test mostly for fun. I DIED when the test was positive instantly....a super dark line!

Three tests later and a full blood panel at the doctor, I am officially 6 weeks pregnant. We are beyond thrilled that we managed to do this despite a 0% chance from the doctor, and I am praying that the baby sticks.

Symptoms: Sore boobs (they're murdering me), bloating, insomnia, and fatigue later in the day. I feel pretty great, and felt much worse when I was ovulating.

Good luck, everyone...stay positive, and trust your body.

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!!!

Got my BFP on "April 29, 2013". That date changed everything in my life. In a very good way :-) I was diagnosed mild PCOS two years ago.. Been married for over three years now.. Never took any "precautions" thinking we are always ready when God gift us with a baby of our own.. And nothing happened.

Then we started actively trying a year ago, doing the "deed" whenever possible hoping its on the right days. My hubby goes on tour very often so the probability of me getting a positive in those zillions of test kits I bought became very less and less.. And God, did I get all worked up thinking about it! :-)

Whenever I got so depressed, I went thru BFP stories, especially from this site and it sure helped me keep my hopes up.. Last two months we became busy, too busy to think about anything. This month, we just "did" it thrice!! I NEVER thought this month is going to be it!! I mean it really is funny. God sometimes likes it really really funny.

Hmmm my last month period date was March 28 and I been having a 28-32 day cycle for past few months since I reduced 4 kgs. Before it was around 42-45 days! And when it dint come on 32nd day either.. I got a bit worried thinkin maybe my cycles are getting messed up again!! On April 29, the 33rd day, God only knows why, persuaded hubby to buy a test kit. Hope never dies right. I was laughing at myself when I put the kit on the table waiting for the result. I KNEW it was gonna be a negative.

BUT.

POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't say I had much symptoms.. Was slightly tired and sleepy but I don't know if that's because of this or the work load... Nothing else!! I am 6 weeks now, and doc is keeping me on folic acid, vitamins, progesterone suppositories and I still have NO symptoms whatsoever!!!! Nothing!! And I keep testing occassionally just to be sure am pregnant!!!!

Dear friends who are hoping for a positive, hang in there!!! Please maintain your diet healthy, excercise properly, keep yourself busy, do the "deed" and try enjoying it too whenever possible, and rest leave it to God.. He will DEFINITELY hear you. You are hearing it from me who never believed, although hoped, that I will ever get a positive!!! So am sure. When the right time comes, when it's the perfect time for your baby to come into this world, you will definitely see a positive!!

Stay Positive. Love. I am attaching the first Faint Positive I got :-)
