BFP with Preseed

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 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!!!

Hello! This board has kept me sane for the last seven months. This is actually the first month I haven't been hanging on to every story. The reason is, is because last month I was 100% sure I was pregnant and then my period came EIGHT DAYS LATE. There had been a very faint line on two tests (VERY FAINT) so it may have been a miscarriage. Either way, last month was devastating, and I didn't want to get my hopes up again but LO AND BEHOLD!

This is also the first month I haven't been charting my symptoms with ridiculous attention, so my by dpo is a bit loose and basically entirely bb related!
Cd13 - EWCM for the first time since we began TTC (poor ovulation? I'm only 23! Oh well I got my way now :D) bbd all around here
1-9 DPO, nothing at all
9 dpo my boobs are a little sore, which is pretty early in my cycle.
10 DPO okay, my boobs are crazy. It's like someone is holding a lighter under my nipples.
11 DPO nipple erections? Okay this is getting wierd, my nipples are constantly standing out like a half inch which they have never done before.
12 DPO still too scared from last month to test, but not my h cup boobs are spilling forth out of my bra and sitting wierd off to the sides. Usually by this time I m an emotional wreck from Pms but this month I'm just sort of happy and calm.
13 DPO bloating like WOAH, and still monster bbs. I am sure aunt flo is on the way. even get cramps ever few hours, the very gentle kind I expect to turn into a total pain party
14-21DPO waiting, cramps continue every so often and by 21 I'm like HUSBAND JUST LET ME PEE ON A STICK (we had agreed I would wait until my period is a week later than it has ever been, which is a week later than this still). He fetches the stick. I pee on it IMMEDIATLY BAM Test line just as dark as he control. That was last Friday :D still no period, still positive tests. Starting to get a lil tired and nauseous but I love it because it means we are, or at least can have a baby!! When I was seventeen because of a PID I was told I may very well be infertile so this is just freaking awesome.

What we have done different this month (and the month before):
Maca Root
Preseed
way less stress (school is out)
I took vitex last month but stopped this month because I didn't like that it seemed to remove all period symptoms (which would be great if I wasn't TTC)

thanks website, and good luck everyone! I am so excited for all of you when you POS and get your BFPS!!

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!!!!

Ok so I've been stalking this page the past 2wks and to say I'm excited is an understatement. I had Zero symptoms, I mean zero I was sure it was another month of disappointment. We are ttc #2, it took over 2 years to get preg with ds and I had been diagnosed with a rare form of endometrosis, anyway after surgery and hormone treatment, my obgyn told me I would not conceive naturally, 4mths later I was pregant after 2 years, ds is 2 now and we decided to ttc in Jan after getting coil removed, we are cycle 3 and this was my first month using opk, vitex, vit b complex and Pre-Seed. I got my 1st +opk ever as I never tracked before. We dtd around that time, I felt we had done it this month but lack of symptoms had me down, then again last time I got a bfp I hadn't a clue. I tested 12dpo and got bfn and wasn't goin to test till Friday 14dpo and af due, but I had a dream last night I got a bfp and did the test and to my shock it was a bfp. I'm breastfeeding my 2yr old ds and didn't want to wean.

My symptoms were minimal
1dpo-10dpo ZERO
11dpo- wet cm, night sweats, very irritable
12dpo- exhausted, bloated, gassy, have had bright yellow pee past 2 wks but ignored this as read vit b can make it like that, gassy and very hungry but that's not unusual for me, vibid dream of bfp
13dpo- wet cm, exhausted BFP!!!!!!!!!
I'm afraid to get too excited as it's eary but I'm so happy. So for all you ladies who have no symptoms, this could be your month x

Background info: I am 33, dh is 32. We were kind of trying for over a year when I found out that I was pregnant in December 2012, but then miscarried in January 2013. We were devastated. But then we started trying again in February...it seemed like it was never going to happen, but I was just being impatient. So, this was our third month trying after the miscarriage.

This month (April), we BD'ed on CD 11 & 14...I used ovulation tests, but never got a smiley face this month. So my DPO's are an estimate, assuming that I ovulated on CD 13 (which is my norm). We used Pre-Seed & mucinex, and I prayed A LOT.

6 dpo- Sharp pain in left side of uterus, gums sore, shooting pain in left bb
9 dpo- Felt bloated, also noticed that my puppy wants to lay/sleep on my tummy, she's never done this before, BFN at night dollar store test, 8pm-sharp cramping on right...sore teeth
10 dpo- Puppy wants to lay/sleep on my tummy again - curious...BFN at night dollar store test
11 dpo- Sore bb's, BFN FMU dollar store test
12 dpo- Sore bb's
13 dpo- BFN FMU dollar store test - I thought I was out this month for sure! I went on to enjoy my weekend...
14 dpo- AF due - didn't show
15 dpo- Where is AF?
16 dpo- Still no AF? Clear blue digital test in the afternoon - "Pregnant"; another test at night - BFP again!
17 dpo- Today

I still can't believe it. I had a lot more "symptoms" in other months...

I have prayed for this day for over 2 years, and I have finally felt the overwhelming joy that comes with knowing that new life has been created! A positive on a Clear Blue Digital today (11 or 12 dpo) has me over the moon with happiness and relief!

Long story short, my husband and I (both 26, fit and healthy) have been trying for our first child for over 2 years. 1 1/2 years into the process I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis and lean PCOS. After a laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, tubal perfusion, and D&C, several ovarian cyst ruptures, being prescribed Metformin, failed Clomid cycle, I started Follistim injections with an hCG trigger shot in April.

I responded favorably to this treatment and had one mature follicle to trigger on CD 14. We were active CD 13, 15, 16,17, and 19. I believe I ovulated on CD 16 but am not 100% sure. In addition to the Follistim, Metformin, and trigger shot, I also used progesterone suppositories, Preseed, and remained laying down for 20 minutes after each time we were active.

The only symptoms out of the ordinary are from CD 8-11: I have had hot flashes that wake me up out of a dead sleep and strong smelling urine.

This was going to be our last month with our fertility specialist. I needed a break from all of the blood work, internal ultra-sounds, doctors visits, and scheduled intercourse. We were coming to terms with our infertility and had begun looking into foster-care and adoption options.

Over the past 2 years I have prayed for God to "remember me" in the way He remembered Hannah (in the book of Samuel). The Lord is faithful, and has remembered me. My husband and I are praying that this miraculous gift will stick, grow, and be healthy and strong!

Good luck to all who are struggling. It can be a long and painful journey, and I pray that each of you will be given the same gift that I received today!

I promised I would share my BFP story for those of you who stalk this site like I did reading inspirational stories and keeping hope alive. This is long but full of very helpful info if you are TTC!!! This is my 3rd cycle TTC. I removed my Mirena IUD in December and suffered no period for 2 months with crazy pregnancy symptoms for the whole 2 months. I did a 2 week detox and started Fertiliade to regulate my cycle (got AF 2 weeks after starting pills). This month I pulled out all the stops. I used BBT charting, Ovulation strips (I bought them in bulk on ebay 50 for about $8), grapefruit juice and Mucinex (during ovulation), preseed, and Softcups (I rolled the edge down one to make the plastics tighter and added preseed to it before I put it in. I rolled it down to create less space, it puts the fluids up on the cervix and keeps it right up against it and I left it in for 12 hours), Prenatal vitamins, and my hubby and I were both taking fetiliaid (GNC sells it) I know it may be TMI, but I wish someone would have said this when I was trying to figure it all out. He has poor motility, morphology, and low count! The doctor told him it would be near impossible to conceive but we proved them wrong! We BD 2 days before OV and the day of OV and the day after since I still had EWCM. My BBT Charts are normally the same and around 8-9 DPO my temp starts to drop slowly until AF comes. This BBT chart was all over the place. I had a major temp drop to the cover line at 4DPO (fall back temp?) and a slow rise and then another drop at 7DPO with a decent recovery the next day (implantation dip?). All temps are lower this month than previous months but after last drop in temp it’s been a steady slow rise. Baby Dust to all! I'm living proof that if you stay positive and trust it will happen that against all odds it will. Here are my symptoms.
OV- Lots and lots of EWCM, OPK test still dark positive in am but I know I OV because of my temp spike. I was also still taking antibiotics for an UTI (sorry TMI) 97.6 (97.3 the day before OV)
1 DPO- Nothing to note.
2 DPO- Nothing 97.8
3 DPO- Stuffy/runny nose (TMI warning: clear runny drainage), sneezing, off feeling in stomach like something wasn’t sitting right. Dizzy spells, hazy feeling. Thought it was my allergies, but allergy meds didn’t really help. Soft poops (sorry, TMI), very tired/lazy feeling most of the day, needed a major nap in PM and went to bed early-very tired. 98.2
4 DPO- Fall back temp? 97.7 (too early to be implantation dip) breast tender (but I ignore this because I get cramping, tender breast, and nausea every cycle but AF still came). Tired/lazy again. Dizzy, very runny nose all day (driving me nuts because it won’t stop), headache, very hungry.
5 DPO- Off feeling in stomach (kinda like I over ate and I have indigestion), runny poop (TMI), tired again nap at lunch, same runny stuffy nose with sneezing. 98.3 temp back up.
6 DPO- Light cramping, dizziness, light headache (not quite like a full on headache but like one was coming), watery mouth (nasty taste in mouth) off stomach feeling off and on. 98.2
7 DPO- Temp drops again 98.0 (feeling sad because this normally happens and it doesn’t rise again so I know AF is coming), runny nose, dizzy, sneezing, light headache. Normal energy today. No cramping (this is odd) Bad mood last night, ripped hubby a new one over the dog (poor guy) sleepy early at 8pm, cant sleep through the night up by 3 am with major heartburn and reflux. Neg opk test. (im a POAS-aholic!!)
8 DPO- Temp back up!! (98.4) I just know at this point something is up. I fought the feeling all month because I didn’t want to get my hopes up but I just knew it. Runny nose, sneezing, headache, cramping but not ovary cramping on the right or left side like before, it was lower and in the middle of uterus like period cramps. First real bout of nausea, decrease in appetite with bursts of hunger in between. To bed early and sleepless night again. Took FRER Pregnancy test even though OPK test was negative (OPK test will turn positive in the presence of HCG also, they were much cheaper than pregnancy tests but never a substitute) VERY VERY VERY light line, so light hubby thought I was seeing a shadow line…lol. I knew it was a BFP!!!! It was ever so lightly pink and was within the 10 min window before it is considered an evap line. By morning the line had gotten darker. If yesterday’s dip in temp was in fact an implantation dip then the line should be as light as it was because my body had just started producing HCG when implantation happened. No spotting this month at all. I normally spot every month about 5 days before my period. Major burning sensation in stomach. Finally I felt that “tugging” sensation behind belly button that everyone keeps talking about. Feels like a lil string attached to the back of your belly button and like something is pulling on it.

I scoured this site during my TWW and said when I got my positive I would share my story in hopes it would help someone else.

Me 30 and DH 31 are high school sweethearts and married for 3 years. I stopped using nuvring July 2012 and my cycle returned to normal 27 to 29 days. We have been trying to conceive since September 2012. I downloaded the I period app and began taking my BBT in October.

When we did not conceive in November I ordered fertility blend for men for my husband. In January we began using preseed still no luck. On Jan 3 af came again and I was devastated. On this day I was listening to Klove and the encouraging story of the day came on and it was a woman who had been trying to conceive for a very long time. She talked about how she resented God for not getting pregnant and her doctors told her she would never have a baby. She repented for hating God and being jealous of others who were pregnant. The caller said she was pregnant the following month. I felt as if the Lord was speaking to me through her. Although I didn't resent the Lord I didn't want to get to that point either.

In February I went to my ob and she did a day3 test. The results came back with slightly elevated dhea. I was rx'd dexamethasone to take beginning cycle day 1 through 16. Next I had a day21 that which confirmed ovulation had occurred.

In February my husband got a SA and he had 2%morphology but excellent count and motility. The dr office suggested IUI but we didn't want to go that route. I downloaded the fertility friend app in February and noticed I missed ovulation the 1st 3 months that we have been trying with the I period app.

In March I began taking dexamethasone with no success.

In April I began taking fertile CM while still taking dexamethasone. I do not recommend fertile CM as I believe it delayed my ovulation. I usually ovulate between day 12 and 15, but when I didn't ovulate by day 14 I stopped taking fertile CM. Finally I ovulated on day 17. I didn't not get any EWCM either. April was the first month we tried the SMEP. It was exhausting but it worked!!

I told my husband by having our dog wear a shirt that said I'm going to be a big sister. He was in shock.

O day- nothing
1DPO - 6DPO nothing
7 - 9 DPO af cramps. This is when I started to think something was up since I do not get af cramps until 2 or 3 days before she arrives.
10 - 14DPO blood in my nose when I blew and when I brushed my teeth. Closer to 14 DPO I started getting extremely exhausted at work around 2pm which is not typical. My sense of smell heighten. POAS 12 & 13 DPO and BFN on early pregnancy test 10miu.
15 DPO day af is supposed to show. Take FRER very clear BFP!!! Took internet cheapie and a faint positive. Took a CBD and it said not pregnant.
16DPO took another CBD it said pregnant!!!!

After TTC since June 12 we finally got our BFP this month! Addicted to all of the TTC forums we came across the idea of Preseed and Soft cups and read all of the success stories so decided to give it a try last month and who knew we would get our BFP first time with the preseed and soft cups?! It wasn't looking too good when I had no cramps or any signs of implantation around that time and had cramping 2 days before AF was due so I was completely expecting her to show up on time! The cramp very quickly went away and on the day AF was due - no sign of her. I usually have terrible cramps for about a week before AF and I didn't have anything to show AF was coming. I took a test when I was 2 days late and it showed negative. The only other time I had been late I was 4 days late with heavy cramp for over a week and this was nothing like that. I left it to the next day to take another test with morning urine and still negative. It wasn't until I was 6 days late that I took another test and it came back a very clear positive (still no symptoms of pregnancy or af). I couldn't believe it I took another test and got a second BFP. I am now 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant and giving all praise to preseed and soft cups after reading all of the success stories and eventually having our own success story to add. We had also been using boots pre-conception supplements for months.
