BFP with Preseed

I came off the pill in January and while we did try a little in Feb, I knew I was having a wonky cycle and I didn't temp or anything. So March was our first proper month trying and I got my BFP. CD1 was Feb 25 and my period lasted far longer than normal. Usually I bleed for 5 days or less; this time I bled heavily for a week and then had a week of light bleed/heavy spotting. So all in all 2 weeks of AF. I had an *almost* positive OPK late on CD18 and all negs after that, so I'm not entirely sure when I ovulated. Going by cramps and cm, I'm saying I ovulated on CD21. I got my BFP on CD36, 15DPO.

1-10DPO: Nothing much of note other than exhaustion and some cramping.
8DPO: BFN frer
9DPO: BFN frer
10DPO: BFN IC (X4)
11DPO: BFN IC (X3)
11-12DPO: Yellowish cm, exhaustion, major acne breakout on my chest (not on my face).
12-14DPO: Very, very tired. Creamy cm. Heavy AF-type cramps which had me convinced I was out.
15DPO: Very crampy, wet cm, headache, sour tummy, gas. Tesco hpt mid-afternoon - faint but clear BFP! Second Tesco test in the evening -- BFP!
16DPO: Clear BFP on frer and Clearblue digital. Sour stomach, tired, gas, pain on left side.

We used Pre-Seed and I can't recommend it enough. We also DTD every day during the ovulation week, and not before.

Today I am 4wks 3days pregnant so still very optimistically cautious.
I wanted to share my story to give hope to all the ladies on the clomid journey with all the progesterone tests and timed bd!

Quick facts:

DH: 32yrs (healthy)
Me: 24yrs (pcos but still had periods)
TTC: 13mths

2/12: Began TTC. Stopped using contraception.
12/12: Clomid #1 5-9d 50mg. CD21 progesterone level= 0.4!! no ov
2/13: Clomid #2 5-9d 100mg. CD21 progesterone level =5 (might have ovulated..needs to be 10+ when medicated)
3/13:Clomid #3 5-9d 150mg. CD21 progesterone level = 8.9 (getting better!)
3/26/13: BFN accuclear
3/31/13: BFP!! with morning pee. Did 2 accuclear tests but bought a digitial EPT test to make sure!

Currently I only have tender breasts and occasional fatigue with on and off cramps.
The first two clomid cycles showed more symptoms of ovulation but BFN.
This month we thought we were out because I had no symptoms at all. No cramping. No implantation bleeding. NADA.
I had been feeling really negative and angry at God last week but prayed for His will to be done. It is only through Him that I found peace during TTC.
My DH and I actually helped someone move-in this past weekend, and thinking I was not pregnant, I carried LOTS of boxes!
I had a doctors appt. on Monday so decided to take a final pregnancy test on Sunday morning. Surprise BFP on Easter morning!! Glory to God!! I woke up DH and asked him to make sure I was seeing a +. I did another test but still doubtful because they were blue-dye tests and I had heard some of these were unreliable. Later that day, after church we did a digital test and PREGNANT popped up! I finally started crying and my DH literally jumped up for joy.

Things that we did:
Took my clomid w/o food.
BD with Pre-Seed
Exercising at least 3X a week
I started eating breakfast everyday. all-bran cereal with almonds, banana and apple.
Enjoyed eachother's company a lot more this month! went to the zoo, weekend trip to NC, Friday night dates, exercised together.

This is my first BFP so i am so happy but so worried at the same time. I pray that God will keep my womb and baby safe.
I wish you all luck with TTC and i hope all the ladies on clomid will find hope through my story!

After stalking this site for months I pledged that if circumstances permit I'd write my own story. After 8 months of TTC #3 with me 35 and DH 38 I am very relieved that I can at least say things are still working in there as I got my BFP this morning (from the Easter Bunny:>).

The emotional toll of TTC was starting to show, I was struggling to bounce back month after month. I even have a laproscopy booked for 10 days time - which I am happy to say I will cancel if my bhcg is ok.

I was doing temping previously but this cycle just used it to confirm o as I was finding the temping process was creating anxiety. We also used Pre-Seed (2nd cycle)

My DPO are based on my o day being day 13 - I can have up to a 32 day cycle but I think this one was probably shorter (but don't know for sure as obviously AF didn't show)

CD 12 BD (with Pre-Seed)
CD 13 BD (with Pre-Seed
CD 14/DPO 1 Temp goes up .2 degrees
DPO 1-3 EWCM after ovulation - weird
DPO 3-9 Not much to report, normal breast twinges and mild pelvic pain.
DPO 10 Bought a coffee on my way to work fri) - made me very shaky and jittery
DPO 11-12 EXHAUSTED - body felt like concrete, had to have a sleep sat arvo as I was soo tired, loss of appetite/dizzy
DPO 12-15 Same loss of appetite, just felt a bit off, one day my urine smelt very strong, intermit pelvic cramping from CD 28-33
Felt eactly life AF coming - bloating, back ache etc, found of i got up quickly was very lightheaded. Coffee did same.
DPO 15 Easter long weekend - felt a bit off driving, crampy and generally tired, even packed supplies for AF was due (CD32)
Got home late easter sat - still no AF (but had AF like pains) - googled symptoms and convinced myself I had a persistant corpus luteal cyst and resigned myself to the laproscopy.

DPO 16 Woke at 6:30am - still no AF?? CD 33! - decided to put myself out of my misery and use FMU and do HPT. Did test and left it in ensuite bathroom and set timer on phone for 5 mins and walked away. Went to kitchen to prepare breakfast for DS x2 and heard phone alarm go off - walked back to find two VERY DARK lines!!!!!!!!! OMG!!! I started crying and DH gave me a hug!

I am relieved and feel very blessed - at a time when it has been feeling like nothing has been going right for quite some time I am happy to see those two lines - and super clear! I am praying that my bhcg is good and will take great pleasure cancelling my laproscopy. Everything is crossed xx

I don’t know where to start – we are so excited!! We have been TTC on and off for a year. I just turned 35 and hubby is 41 and not one little itty bitty BFP… until now OMG!
I felt like we tried it all in 1 year!! Tried temping but it only caused more frustration. So we stopped doing that after 2 mths. I used Pre-Seed, OPKs and CBFM on and off. Took prenatal, legs up, legs down, handstands, no coffee, some coffee, stopped drinking, full fat dairy, pineapple, you guys know the drill. I went through all the motions and emotions…I tried “just relaxing” …making pretend I was not trying and then obsessing around the 2ww mark. I have researched and googled until my eyelashes fell out. I also visited this website countless of times for hope and support. So I wanted to do the same for you girls.

So for the details!!… Since the end of Dec. hubby took multi, B Com, B12, Zinc, selenium, Vit C, COQ10 (it varied depending on how he ate that day but always took multi, the B’s and COQ10) I took prenatal, B6, B12, COQ10, Magnesium and every 1 or 2 days I would take Zinc, Selenium and Vit C.
This month I used CBFM again – I had stopped using it last year after 5 months bc it would stop testing after the first surge and I thought I was just missing it.
What I did different this month –
1) I used more Pre-Seed since I before only used tiny bit 2) One night after Bding I just went to sleep for the night without getting up once (TMI) 3) drank Female Toner Tea everyday right before bed, 4) Cut back (again) on caffeine to 1 cup, no alcohol and just tried to eat low carb diet w/ a lot of veggies and fruit. 5) Lemon water almost every morning and some afternoons hoping it would help PH 6) Really prayed for courage, strength, and most of all His blessing. I let go as much as I could.
I had started getting mentally ready to do first HSG next month ….. AF NEVER CAME!!

We have been offically TTC since March 2012. I had a chemical pregnancy in August 2012 at 6 weeks (broke my heart!). Biggest difference this cycle from others was lack of symptoms until after, what I suspect, was implantation. I was also more relaxed as I didn't think it was going to happen!

1-8dpo: Really very little. Nothing that I could attribute to conception.
9 dpo: Twinges and slight cramping on left side. Temp 36.92
10 dpo: Very very light bfp on IC (didn't believe it, neither did dh). Temp 36.85
11 dpo: Again a very very light bfp on IC. I took 3 tests and all the same, started to think tests were bad batch. Temp 36.87
12 dpo: Headache, light-headed, slighly nauseous. Slightly darker bfp, still not convinced. Bought an FRER and clear as day BFP straight away! Temp 37.00
13 dpo: Headache, dizzy, nauseous, lots of smells grossing me out (I'm not a squeemish person) Darker bfp on IC :) Temp 36.94
14 dpo: Took another FRER (just to be sure) BFP again! I think I just enjoy seeing that line pop up! Headache, dizzy, nauseous, creamy CM, strange cramps in evening, similar to AF but not the same. 37.07
15 dpo: Today I have all the same symptoms but they aren't too bad. Also got a darker bfp on IC. I've stopped taking temp as it will only worry me if it drops!

I will probably keep testing with ICs until after 6 weeks. I am very nervous but hopeful we have a sticky bean this time. x

Hey girls, so I have been checking out this website for a while now. I used to read all the bfp stories with all these symptoms and thought wow that's a lot for so early. Well this is my second pregnancy with my husband and I thought I was getting my period up till the day I tested. So don't get too discouraged. My last pregnancy I had really sore boobs and cramping and she turned out perfect. This one I have period like cramping and I was a little crazier then normal but other then that nothing. I tested the day after my period was to start. We are so excited and I hope you all get your BFPs soon!! Good luck!

Yesterday I got my very first BFP!
I hope this will make people feel better and give hope like it did with me, but I didn't get any symptoms what so ever. I got my first BFP yesterday at 12DPO, and again today 13DPO, nice and clear. I used first reponse early result. I also used to 10miu internet strips for curiosity, I don't think I would recommend them, the line was so faint it was barely there. Think they could cause some confusion.
We have been ttc 10 months now, I'm praying that this one sticks, hopefully I'm passed the risk of it being a chemical by now. I don't know what to do next as I'veve spent so much time researching how to get pregnant, that I forgot what to do it if actually happens!
I would recommend the clearblue fertility monitor to those who don't mind spending the money on one. It replaces OPK sticks. I got it for £65 off amazon (£100 in boots!) and I continued to get the test sticks from amazon. I also recommend Pre-Seed.
I didn't temp because all it did was stress me out, I couldnt sleep the night before for fear of waking up too early and getting an incorrect temp-waste of time! Just dtd every 2/3 days around Ov instead.

I went off BC 7 months ago and have had long irregular cycles. Once we got back from our honeymoon, we decided to ttc. I bought Wondfo lh/hcg test strips and concieve plus (Pre-Seed). I knew my cycles were long started testing at CD 16. I would only test once daily after work and finally got a positive at CD 22 and CD 23. I BD'd on CD 20,23,24 & 25. Here were my symptoms:

1-5 dpo: Nothing
6 dpo: Small amount brownish cm
7 dpo: Itchy boobs
8 dpo: Sharp pains above pubic bone on right side on and off all day, emotional, boobs slightly sore on sides, exhausted
9 dpo: Boobs slightly sore, heightened smell, sharp pains, I tested this a.m. (way too early) BFN. Told myself I wouldn't test again until Sunday
10 dpo: Craved shrimp (never do), tired, boobs still sore, tired, stinky pee
11 dpo: Tired, lightheaded, thirsty, peeing every 30 minutes (from all the water) stinky pee, can smell everything which is making me naceous. I also had vivid bizarre dream that I tested and was pregnant (a sign?)
12 dpo: My dream made me decide to test a day early. I used a wondfo hcg, watched and got what I thought was going to be another BFN. I left the test to go lay back down, and when I came back about 20 minutes later to thow it away there was a faint but visible line. Concerned that it was possible an evap., I tested with two $ tree test and got similar results. I went and bought a pack of clearblue digitals so I would have a clear result. I tested with my left over morning urine and with fresh and both were BFP!!!I tested again mid-day because it just didn't seem real and another BFP!!

I have been stalking this site so I thought I would share my story too :)

I just thought I'd share my BFP story and symptoms with you. This cycle I used a generic expectorant (mucinex) it's kirkland brand from Costco, I bought it on amazon, you get 200 pills for 10 dollars! So ladies, please, quit buying way overpriced Mucinex!!! I also used Pre-Seed for the first time, but only used it the 3 days around ovulation.
Symptoms:

1-4DPO: Boobs hurt. I just had a strange feeling like I was pregnant, I kept telling DH "I think we did a really good job this cycle."

4DPO: TMI but had a big glob of white CM with a yellowish tint

4DPO-9DPO: Felt sluggish and my boobs hurt really bad, especially the sides. Started noticing little pinches around my belly button. I tested BFN (duh!). Other strange thing I noticed was my veins all over my body were SO dark. I had big veins encircling my nipples and my areolas looked darker. At 9DPO I had another glob of CM

10DPO: Went to the doctor (unrelated) showed her my breasts, she said they definitely looked funny with the veins. More pinching in the belly button. Tested BFN

11DPO: Tested and got a faint BFP!!! Went to work and got sick. When I got home I did a 2 hour hold and another BFP!!!

12DPO: BFP on FRER slightly darker. Light cramping and lower back pain. Starving, ate more than usual. Once I realize I'm hungry, I'm starving!

13DPO:Even darker BFP on FRER. STILL hungry! Boobs still hurt. Still cramping. Always sleepy.

14DPO (Today): BFP on a digi, and actually so far feeling pretty good!

I hope this helps you guys, I know everyone is different but we all love to symptom spot! The biggest symptom I had was the weird blue veins and sore boobs, but it's true that some people have symptoms early, I sure did.
I wish *babydust* to you all, and I ask that if any of you are praying women that you pray for all of us bees now in the 12 week wait!

Please excuse my lounging haha

Wow I'm pregnant!!!!!
I am 31 and DH is 33. I had been on BCP since I was 18 and was not too sure what to expect being off of it.
I ended up having 3 m/c within 7 months of coming off the pill. Each was the same- extreme nausea and bloating, no spotting or sign of AF, temp would stay high. Then between 6 - 9 weeks I would have heavy bleeding. Each doc confirmed it was a m/c however with each one I never got a bfp.
This is how this how this month was different...
DH and I bd'd on both "peak" days and high day after that (I was using CBFM).
1-4 DPO nothing
5-6 DPO heaving spotting with lots of clots (I am super upset tell DH we are out again)
6-10 DPO bbs are so sore. Nipples feel like they are on fire and both breasts feel really bruised
10 DPO do $store test with evening urine- faint faint line
11 DPO FMU as DH if he can see line- he says its faint but def there. Do CB digital in afternoon and BFP 1-2!!!!!!
Since then bbs have gotten WAY more sore and CM is VERY heavy.
I am soooo excited!
Wishing everyone a healthy and happy 9 months!!
