BFP with Preseed

My husband and I have been trying to conceive our first child together (he has a 4 year old daughter from previous marriage) for 18 months with no success. I am an ovarian cancer survivor that has left me with one ovary and quite a hard time conceiving. This month I turned to acupuncture while continuing to use conceive plus (2nd month using) and instead cups (4th month using) and prayed my little heart out. Peed on an OPK last night because I didn't want to waste another HPT and it turned ALMOST positive (it is 14 dpo for me today I normally have a 10 - 12 day luteal phase) so I decided what the heck I am late so used my only HPT this morning and strong BFP!!! We are absolutely over the moon I had started to believe it was never going to happen for us and was getting harder and harder for me to listen to my step daughter talk about how badly she wants a baby brother or sister. So I just want to say to all the ladies out there who are struggling with over a year of TTC with no success DO NOT GIVE UP it will happen!! Now for the part everyone actually reads these for! :P

1-7dpo Couple little twinges not much to comment on

7-14 dpo CRAMPS (really thought AF was coming cramps were pretty bad at times other times just pinches low down on alternating sides), dry tacky white cm, cervix low firm closed (just last night got a bit soft but still low only difference is feels more closed than normal), starting at about 9 dpo my boobs got quite sore on sides even in a bra and very heavy and sore in mornings especially (this was big sign as never sore before period but the cramps still made me think af was coming) and heartburn starting at 12 dpo

I pray this story gives any ovarian cancer survivors or ladies ttc for longer than a year HOPE. As I mentioned before I had really kinda begun to give up at this point, I stopped temping and recording data altogether. Only checked for ewcm which I had one day of, I still used the conceive plus, made sure to orgasm after hubby and then raise hips and put in an instead cup after to hold the swimmers in place, left it in for about 8 hours and removed. I started going to acupuncture about a month ago been to 3 sessions it obviously didn't hurt and was incredible for relaxing! I put all my faith in God and will continue to pray for a healthy sticky pregnancy!

Wish everyone luck and thank you for reading my novel :P Baby dust to all!!

Hi Ladies! I can't believe I am writing this. After 13 months, 2 miscarriages and a chemical pregnancy.. this is SURELY my time??

Firstly, I'll start with what I did differently this month.
- Vitex from CD2 to CD 14 (this was the first time I'd ever gotten a SUPER dark OPK result, and I believe the vitex really helped me nail down when I was going to ovulate)
- Acupuncture the week leading up to Ovulation
- Green tea once a day in the afternoon (I heard this was good for CM)
- Spirullina tablets (for general health and well being)
- Pre-Seed! (first time using the stuff and we loved it, DH loved it too!)

1-6DPO - Nothing much to note
7DPO - Had a massive fatigue feeling in the afternoon, really hit a wall that no amount of coffee would fix. Also had headaches through the day. Went to bed super early. Dry CM. Tender bbs. BFN.
8DPO - Woke up really early and POAS. Left it to dry and went back to sleep for a few hours. Woke up and saw a very obvious line! POAS again to make sure it wasn't an evap - and there it was BFP!! Was couch stricken all day. Couldn't stomach my coffee. Nausea, fatigue, really sore bbs, gassy!
9DPO - Digial BFP! Woohoo! Symptoms same as yesterday, but LOTS of CM. I'm usually fairly dry around this time.
10DPO - Doctor confirmed BFP :) Symptoms include really sore bbs, gassy, FATIGUE... as in my whole body is barely functioning. Headache & coffee aversion.

Wish us luck!! Praying my little bug sticks this time :) Good luck to you all xxx

I'm soo happy to finally share my own BFP story! So a little background, I have been off BCP since April 2012 (11 months) but I have long irregular cycles so this was my 6th cycle of TTC. We started BBT charting on cycle #2 and we invested in the OvaCue Fertility Monitor at the end of our 4th cycle, and I swear that this is the only reason we are pregnant. I had thought that I ovulated super early this month, and without the OvaCue I would not have known that I hadn't and we needed to BD! We BD only the once on O day CD27.

Here are the symptoms I had, some of these are normal for me in my 2WW and none of them were consistent or all day, they were off and on throughout the day. (Normal for me; acne, cramping, gassy and bloated, headaches, creamy CM)

O day - watery/creamy CM, heavy acne break out, slightly crampy, woke up starving that morning, and was nauseous at bedtime
1DPO - creamy CM, woke up starving again, stomach ache, frequent urination, gassy and bloated, heavy acne, tasted blood for a few mins but no blood?
2DPO - stomach ache, heightened smell, super dry lips, nauseous at bedtime, acne, gassy and bloated, cramps and a headache
3DPO - Sex dream?! acne, sore lower back, frequent urination
4DPO - creamy/watery CM, acne, slightly nauseous, cramps, frequent urination
5DPO - gassy and bloated, cramps, frequent urination, acne
6DPO - sex dream?! Started not sleeping well, tossing and turning every other night, cold sore (yuck!), headache, acne, cramps, frequent urination
7DPO - creamy CM, cold sore, headache, acne, frequent urination, cramps
8DPO - cold sore got BAD, acne, frequent urination, headache, gassy
9DPO - BAD cold sore, acne, headache, bloating, cramps
10DPO - BAD cold sore, super dry lips, acne, loss of appetite
11DPO - nightmare, shooting cramp when sneezing?! super dry lips, cold sore, cramps, creamy CM
12DPO - cold sore, second cold sore came up (double yuck!) super dry lips, stomach ache, really red eye, itchy everywhere! darkish CM, acne, cramps, heartburn? bloating and gassy, creamy CM
13DPO - cold sore x 1, super dry lips, tender nips, yellowish watery CM? super tight swollen vagina (VERY VERY strange!!) acne, bloated and gassy, nausea, cramps, very moody
14DPO - 1st cold sore almost gone, growing pains in lower legs? itchy boobs, itchy everywhere, stomach ache, nausea, cramps, loss of appetite, watery CM
15DPO - second cold sore got worse! weird/intense dream, sharp cramps when sneezing, acne, cramps, loss of appetite, bloating, nausea, creamy CM
16DPO - 2 intense/sad dreams and woke up crying, bright bright yellow pee, frequent urination, nausea, loss of appetite, cramps, creamy CM
17DPO - AF DUE TODAY, no AF first thing in the morning so tested with cheapie test, barely barely there line.... thought I was seeing things, woke up DH and he can see the line too. Dipped FRER (same sample) medium dark second line!! Now I'm freaking out/crying/shaking! Dipped CB digital (same sample), Pregnant 1-2 weeks! OMG! Freaking out!!
Afterwards we went to tell our families and give them our surprise gift, then went to do blood work HCG test for my doctor.

Oh and things that we did differently this month....
-halfway through last month we switch from External Pre-Seed to Internal Pre-Seed
-Layed on my back with my legs elevated up against the headboard with a pillow under my butt for min 30 mins after BD
-Did not BD for 9 days leading up to ovulation, only BD once on O day.
-DH was on FertilAid for Men (only 1 pill per day) (not sure if DH was an issue or not)
-More relaxed about TTC since having the OvaCue
-Second month with OvaCue Monitor

It took my husband and I one month to conceive our first child. I just turned 34 at the time, never been pregnant before, I take levothyroxine medication ever since I was 24 for hypothyroidism, so I didn't know what to expect. I definitely didn't think it would take just a month to get pregnant. Anyways, she is now a beautiful, healthy, smart 2 year old. I'm 36 now and wanted to try for baby number two. I thought to myself now that I am 2 1/2 years older it would probably take a little longer. But amazingly enough I got pregnant first round again.

ovulation day: Not much cm, I think I had a slight yeast infection. So I took preseed. BBT 96.8.
1 dpo - bbt 98.0. Tingling feeling in my left ovary. No cm.
2 dpo - This was the absolute give away that I was pregnant. I had a METALLIC TASTE in my mouth. Water started to taste gross. I had this in my first pregnancy so I knew I was pregnant. BBT drop 97.2 (fallback rise). Can be common for some women on the second or third day past ovulation. No cm.
3-5 dpo - Lots of gas, bloated. Metallic taste. Tingling feeling now in my left fallopian tube. Very little cm. BBTs between 98-98.2.
6-9 dpo - Very little cm. Vivid dreams. Insomnia which I never get. BBT 98.0 steady. Metallic taste. Somewhat tired. Tingling feeling now in my uterus.
10 dpo - Some cm. Vivid dreams. Insomnia. BBT 97.8. No implantation bleeding. Definitely felt the implantation. It was a STRONG pinch in the left side of my uterus.
11 dpo - More cm. Vivid dreams. Insomnia. BBT 98.8. Twinging in the same area in my uterus. Still metallic taste in mouth. Faint BFP!
13 dpo - Stronger BFP line. Some wet cm. Throughout this whole time my breast or nipples have not hurt me. My energy level is not bad. But harder to get out of bed in the morning.

I hope this helps anyone who is just wondering if they are pregnant or not. Blessings to all.

My husband and I have been TTC for more than 2 years now. We were really discouraged since my husband sperm count was very low. However, this cycle I decided that I would REALLY try. So I started using OPKs (wondfo brand), charting my BBTs, taking Vitex (800mg from last day of period till ovulation), BD everyday during my fertile window (twice on O day) with Pre-Seed and ate pineapple from 3DPO to 7DPO.
I really didn't feel much of symptoms this cycle compared to the other cycles.

1DPO- Insomnia
2DPO- Insomnia
3DPO- Dull backache, headache, sneezing (unusual), cramps (usual for me after ovulation), disrupted sleep.
4DPO- Cramps (usual), sneezing (unusual), constipation (unusual)
5DPO- Bloated, constipation
6DPO- Bloated, skin break out (usual), emotional (usual)
7DPO- Bloated, constipation, nausea, skin break out, tender breasts (hmmm, they never get so tender this early), metal taste, emotional
8DPO- Bloated, stuffy nose and sneezing (felt sick), tender breast, disrupted sleep
9DPO- Bloated, hungry, tender breasts, metal taste. Took a HPT (wondfo brand) and left it beside the sink. I didn't even bothered to look at it because I knew it was so early. Went to have breakfast and when finished remembered the test I left in the bathroom. For my surprise there was a super duper faint line there? I thought it was an evap so I throw it away.
10DPO- Constipation, skin break out, tender breasts are killing me!!, sneezing, metal taste. It was my BDay and I love wine so my husband went and bought 4 bottles to celebrate. I had the super faint line of the day before on the back of my head so I went and took another test just to have peace of mind. After like 10 min a faint line appears but this time it's a little more visible and it was light pink!. I tell my husband and he thinks I'm crazy and that it was all in my head. Didn't touch the wine just in case.
11DPO- More of the same symptoms. Took another test and the line was darker, still light but more visible. Told hubby and he went to get me a CBD from the pharmacy. Waited like four hours and took the digi which was a BFP!!!

We are very grateful for this blessing and hope to have a healthy nine months and a healthy baby soon.
Wishing the miracle happens soon to you all!!!

I'm very excited to share my BFP after stalking this site for so many months. We had two heartbreaking losses in 2012 and were using the SMEP for a couple of months and then my mother in law moved in with us in November so it was a little bit of a forced but needed break. I was still testing for ovulation but never got a positive that month but was using Pre-Seed for the first time just for the heck of it. When I took a test in Dec. My DH joked 'congrats, who is the father?' because of our ONE off month. I told him I was as shocked as he! We are 13 weeks with a healthy baby, praise Jesus?

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!
