BFP with Preseed

First I want to thank everyone who has ever posted on here...it helped me more than you will ever know. So, I got my BFP after 4 months of trying, but honestly the first 2 months I am certain that we missed my ovulation time. I went into this thinking that getting pregnant would be the easiest thing ever, boy was I wrong! Ovulation test strips were key for me in December and January, they really do work!! In December and January we also used Pre-Seed and Softcups. After we would BD I would put a pillow under my hips, would wait about 5 minutes put in the softcup and not get up until the next morning.

1 DPO - Nothing
2 DPO - Nothing
3 DPO - BBs sore - Normal for me
4 DPO - BBs sore
5 DPO - BBs sore
6 DPO - BBs sore
7 DPO - BBs sore
8 DPO - BBs sore, diarrhea, headache, throat hurt, fever, back hurting...just did not feel well!
9 DPO - BBs sore. Do I have the flu??? BFN.
10 DPO - My 31st Birthday! BBs sore, still not feeling well. BFN.
11 DPO - BBs stopped hurting - NOT normal for me! SO tired! Feeling better! Decided not to test again.
12 DPO - So tired! Weird pulling sensation and stomach pains. I made homemade guacamole that I usually love and couldn't eat it...my husband loved it and said it tasted normal and good.
13 DPO - So tired! Weird stomach pains continue. Could I be pregnant? Had a veggie sub for lunch that I usually love and could barely eat it. Later in the day I made kale, one of my favorite foods...weird I know, but I had to toss it! Took a test at 9:30pm -BFP after 30 seconds! I couldn't believe it, so I took another - BFP! I am pregnant!!

I have taken a pregnancy test almost every day since I found out! It is so surreal! My husband and I are so excited and cannot wait for October! Good luck everyone! =)

I just found out I am pregnant! I am sooooo excited at the moment. I wanted to write here when it happened as this website has helped me get through while we are trying. We have been trying for 4months and every month I thought I was pregnant but I wasn't. I got off birth control 4 months ago and my hormones were so out of whack that I didn't know what was happening to me. I also started tempting this month and I did see the implantation dip and go back up. Obviously I didn't know for sure until I saw it on the test. Looking back my symptoms only started at 8dpo. So here is my list
Nothing till 8dpo apart from cm. I am normally dry after AF but this time it never dried up.

8dpo- Right breast burning for 10 minutes. Pain during BD. I usually get that when I am ovulating.
9dpo- No pain. Breast gone smaller. I thought that was strange as they only get smaller when AF arrives.
Did a test FRER I could see a fain line. I couldn't believe my eyes than I bought a digital test and it said pregnant.

I have to say use Pre-Seed as this is the only time I tried and only small amounts

I still can't believe it! I hope it sticks.

I'm posting here because I thought for sure something was wrong with me! I got pregnant my first cycle off BC and that ended in a chemical pregnancy. Normal right? We'll just try again. Second month, pregnant, BFP, AF arrives exactly on time. I give up. 3rd cycle (and again I'm testing early..didn't I learn my lesson??) faint BFP, AF came and EARLY! 4th cycle I was pulling out all of the big guns.. I took an extra B6, baby aspirin, raspberry leaf and green tea, royal jelly, and used Pre-Seed. I thought for sure this would work... nope. I guess when you have no control over something, you just feel like you have just a little more control over the situation by adding all of the ttc tricks, at least I did. At this point I am SO over this. I'm done.

Onto the BFP cycle :)

I completely rebel and stop taking everything. Even my prenatals. Everything pregnancy related is evil to me at this point, I'm bitter and tired of seeing people posting that they're pregnant on Facebook (Like, really, ANOTHER ONE?). I was just done. I decide that July is a better month to try and truly was okay with not becoming pregnant this month. And of course, it happened and I was in complete shock!

I had a VERY painful ovulation this month, to the point where my entire lower abdomen felt like it was sore (weird). The very next day after I ovulated, I noticed that my finger was breaking out from my wedding ring (this happened with my first chemical, but not until right before AF). I immediately get suspicious and start my prenatals again, just in case. All of the sudden I am a psycho again! I ran to the store to try yet another trick, I can't help myself. So I go get a pineapple core (CORE not regular pineapple) and slice it into 5 parts (to help with implantation since clearly I could fertilize an egg but couldn't get it to stick). I ate the pineapple from DPO 1-5 and it was gross... but I choked it down anyways. I also used Pre-Seed for the second month in a row... not bc I was ttc, but bc it's a pretty good time lol. I actually got my BFP at 8 DPO and it was so dark I couldn't believe my eyes (much different than the other chemical cycles) and it was on a dollar test of all things! I am now 5 +1 and so far I've had no spotting or anything, still can't believe it. Ok, here were my symptoms!

1 DPO - I am in the worst pain of my life from O and it feels like someone bruised all of my insides in my lower abdomen. I almost went to the ER it was so bad, I couldn't even change position and could barely walk (finally a good egg maybe??)

2 DPO - Stomach pain is totally gone by morning. Finger is breaking out in a weird red rash where my wedding ring was. Freak out and start the pineapple core.

3 DPO - Weird tension headache. Never get a headache after O. I suffer from migraines and always get them a few days before AF like clockwork, although in all of chemical pregnancy cycles I never got a migraine so I 100% think I'm out.
Pineapple core.

4 DPO - Really stuffy nose and huge zit on my chin. This also happens before AF but never this soon after O. Now I think something is kinda up. I still have what feels like a tension headache but it goes away with Tylenol... my migraines would never. Maybe my allergies are just really bad. Pineapple core.

5 DPO - Still have a headache... now I have CM that is pure water, looks like I peed myself. This continues until I get my BFP. My finger is a lot worse than it was before, now I'm almost positive I'm pregnant as this is the only other time I have become allergic to my wedding ring. Pineapple core.

6-7 DPO - Nothing much, just the watery CM.

8 DPO - I go out to buy a dollar store test ( so that I don't waste my money) and there it was. Not even a squinter! I've never had a positive this dark on a dollar tree test. With my chemical pregnancies it wouldn't even register on those! I already know something is different!

9 DPO - Positive digi! This is real!!! I've never had a positive digi this early ever ( I did have a pos digi with my first 2 chemicals but not until AF was due).

I continue to test daily (ok, 10 times a day).. and the line gets darker and darker.
Still trying to take it all in and I'm afraid to get excited but I am over 5 weeks and know it's not a chemical at this point. My only symptoms now are sore nipples and breasts, and I'm utterly exhausted! Just wanted to share my story to give hope to you guys... I know how frustrating it can be and how easy it is to fall into the mind set that something is "wrong" with you! Our bodies are made to have babies, it WILL happen... and probably when you hate everyone and least expect it lol :)

My husband and I are both 31 yrs old. I have 1 kid from previous marriage, DH has no kids. We got married May 2012 and got pregnant in June which ended up being a chemical pregnancy in July. We took August off and began actively trying in September. 4 out of the 5 months of ttc we guessed when I would ovulate and hope for the best. After 4 cycles of BFN's I decided to use opk and Pre-Seed. I finally got a faint BFP today!!

CD 3- Started bd every other day.
CD 8- Started opk got a - bd anyway using Pre-Seed.
CD 13- Got my first + opk, bd, Pre-Seed.
CD 14- Ovulated (according to fertility calculator), bd, Pre-Seed.
CD 15- bd, pre seed, 2ww.

1-6 DPO- Crazy vivid dreams.
7 DPO- Felt sharp pain like a needle prick on right side of my uterus... implantation?? No spotting.
9 DPO- Felt feverish, sore throat, runny nose, felt tired and groggy.
11DPO- 2 dreams in a row of BFP, couldn't stand it any longer and tested... my dreams came true!

My cycles vary from 27-30 days so I feel like the opk's helped a lot. I also feel like I don't have a lot of cm so that being said I think Pre-Seed helped those little swimmers get to where they needed to be! AF is supposed to show Feb. 4 so I'm going to take a HPT on Sunday to see if that faint line gets darker. I hope my story helps you guys and good luck to everyone, it will happen!

Praise the Lord, ALL THE GLORY GOES TO HIM. I am 33 and dh is 32. I have three teenage daughters and we have a 16month old son together. In July 2012 we lost our last baby at 3months to a partial molar pregnancy, it was the worst thing I have ever been thru. I was full of anger, frustrated, and envious of other people getting pregnant…which is not like me. Recently I started seeking Gods face again, and asking for forgiveness and healing for my heart. When the Lord started making my heart right, He was so faithful to give us our BFP!! I could not feel more loved by my Provider and Savior!! I gave a inch and He gave a life!!! Thank you Lord!!!
And I just want to apologize ahead of time for tmi!!

I'm still in shock! I can't believe it. I was feeling like it was never going to happen.

I started Synthroid back in September and it took until this cycle to normalize my cycle. I had my first normal period/flow this month, O'd on day 14! It was pretty amazing to me.

Other things I did this cycle- took a baby aspirin everyday, stopped caffeine (had a cup of green tea here and there), cut WAY down on alcohol- indulged in maybe 4-5 drinks all month. Plus, took a bunch of vitamin D.

I used the softcups. This was my 2nd cycle using softcups. I don't know if they helped or not.

I didn't really have too many symptoms:
DPO 7: In the morning, I was having these weird feelings in my stomach. Like muscle spasms or something.
DPO 8-10: Breasts were a little tender.
DPO 10: Cramping after orgasm
DPO 11- 12: Uterus feels inflamed or something.. not crampy, but I feel like I have a gas pain that won't go away or something like that.
DPO 12: BFP- same as above, plus a headache.

I had an RE try to tell me that I had PCOS (bloodwork was fine) and Endo. He said I needed to do a Lap. I followed my intuition and started seeing an acupuncturist and Chiropractor to balance my body before we did anything invasive.

Finally I can share my BFP story with you all. My DH and I have been TTC for about 1 year. We got pregnant 3 times in the last year all resulting in early miscarriages (around 6 weeks). Hoping this is it for us

1-3 DPO- Nothing really. I mean when you’re TTC you symptom spot but just some standard cramping.
4 DPO- I noticed my BB’s felt heavy and my nipples were super sensitive.
5 DPO- Cramping and tender nipples. Lots of CM
6 DPO- Felt very hot and some spells with dizziness. Lots of CM creamy like lotion.
7 DPO- Tender nipples, Temp dropped. Feeling bloated. The cramps are more mild than AF cramps and they are lower. It’s not ovary pain its uterus pain. Couple sharp jabs. Lots of CM.
8 DPO- Tender nipples, Temp back up…. Way up 99.4 (cover was 97.6). Feel so warm all the time. More tugging and bloated feeling in uterus. At this point I just knew I was pregnant. More CM, it’s more watery now.
9 DPO- Temp still high, Nipples still tender. Slight cramps, lots of CM. Held out till the morning of 10 DPO to test.
10 DPO- Still have all my symptoms and got a light but totally there BFP with FMU!!!

Hoping this baby sticks and I get to finally be a mother. So excited. Baby Dust to all you ladies xoxo Will be taking more test’s to watch it get darker.

I still cant believe it. After stalking this website for months..Have been TTC for over a year. Thanks to all the support and all the baby dust you ladies shared, I am 8 weeks pregnant and have never been happier. Baby dust to you all.

I really didn't have any symptoms, I still don't. One thing that I observed was, I started sweating a lot at night and that never happens. My Doc said since the body temp goes up we tend to sweat. I tested after missed period and it came positive. Still sinking in the moment :)

Tracking ovulation helped, I ovulated really late this time. Used Pre-Seed. I generally used to apply it on outside, this month I used it inside, I guess that helped. Had sex pretty much every day. And yes plz don't stress, keep yourself calm n happy...

Thanks to all, this website has been my strongest support and I wish all TTC ladies hear good news soon :)

Never thought it would've ever happened. My husband and I have been TTC for nearly a year with 2 years NTNP and we got our BFP confirmed on my birthday!!!! We are beyond excited!!! I started temping for the first time this cycle along with pre-seed and softcups and heart to hearts with GOD!! I had gotten so discouraged and stopped temping and caring mid-cycle because I just knew I was wasting my time. But on 12 dpo I decided to just check. Never expected there would be a faint line!!

Dpo 1-7 nothing!
Dpo 8- headache
Dpo 9- headache
Dpo 10- headache and backache
Dpo 11- headaches still nothing else. Thought af would come on time. Preparing to try again next cycle.
Dpo 12- cramping on left side, noticed my cm was quite clumpy and I can't remember ever having this. Decided to take a IC test and low and behold a second line shows up!!!!!! Tested with digital and BFP!!!!
Dpo 13- same!
Dpo 14- confirmed BFP with my doctor!!!

Noticed this website 2 weeks ago because I was wondering if there was any way I could know if I was pregnant early. It was really helpful to read first hand symptoms. I thought I would do the same to help others..So here goes...

DH and I are 35 yr olds this year. TTC 1st baby for 3 months.
Month 1: no change to our lifestyles, alcohol and baby dancing every 3/4 days except when DH was naughty :0).AF came bang on day 27.

Month 2: I stopped antihistamines and sleeping tablets with antihistamines as I discovered this limits EWCM production!
Started using ovulation charts too. I have been taking antihistamines a few years and only noticed I hadn't had EWCM for a good year. Had little wet CM this month but AF came bang on 27 days.. Was sad but decided every time I had a period I would treat myself to something good, so had a really great night out with friends food and alcohol included.

Month 3: Learned about listening to my body.
1)Bought OVK online
2)Got Fertile CM ( can apparently increase headaches in susceptible individuals)
3)Took EPO for the first 10 days
4)Bought Pre-Seed: used every time we BDd. Didn't use as much as recommended because was too wet, apologies tmi.

5)Gave up alcohol for January. That was a coincidence as DH had a boozy December, (apologies we are British). I then read alcohol can decrease chances of conception. Can be only 10% for a fertile couple depending on how much consumed.

Details month 3:
DH and I BDd every 2 days (can get tiring after work, also had a few LOL moments at task ahead)
OVK says ovulation approx day 10. Felt pain right lower abdomen, wet CM++++ no stretchy CM :0(

2DPO: Pain lower left side and Brown CM
4DPO: White wet CM, wet and migraine headaches (typical for me as I have hormone related migraines very month). A bit sad cause it meant no change from last month. Was already planning next AF treat.
5DPO: Headaches
6DPO: White wet CM
10DPO: Headaches mild earlier than usual and different
11DPO: Headaches as above and stomach cramps
14DPO: Back pain, cramps and brown blood, like start of AF
15DPO:White CM sticky clumpy with yellow discharge
DUE AF and usual monthly migraine due when Oestradiol low (already been for blood test as I think I may be Oestrogen dominant)
16DPO: Woke in the morning with a clear head! First day like this in 2 years with no migraine auras or throbbing head! Only time I suspected might be pregnant!
Bought cheap PT and very faint line, my imagination could have made it up it was so faint. Line marginally clearer (just) after 15mins so good idea not to throw them away straightaway. Did not tell DH till the evening when I took another, faint line but clearer.
This morning first pee, took another PT and BFP!!! So happy. I hope our bean says stuck!!!

Hope this helps, all our symptoms are terribly different but it helps cause there may be one person who is going through the same as you. Lesson I learned is to relax and not get too stressed but also allow yourself to be sad for a couple of days after AF.
It must sound like we haven't been trying long, but I had reason to believe I may not be fertile because of multiple Gynae problems in the past. Wishing you all sweet baby dust and good fun trying. Stats show 85% of couples would conceive in a year, that made me feel better. Lots of love..
