BFP after Mirena Removal

Hey ladies, it's larisa again :) I posted here couple months back ... about questioning if I'm pregnant :$ ... but today I finally got my answer, I'm 8 and a half weeks pregnant :) I'm so thankful and happy to finally have my positive! blood test confirmed. xo never give up ladies xo baby dust too every lady trying xo.

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

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.

This was my second cycle trying to conceive #2! Here is the breakdown of what I experienced this month. Other than several "symptoms", I just had a feeling! Still in total shock.

BD around ovulation window.

CD19: Had the lightest spotting, pink streaked w 2 red pin-drop sized spots & had cramping. Thought could be implantation, but also felt like ovulation, so I thought I may have ovulated late and thought maybe we were out this month.

5-8 DPO: Had the most symptoms: lotion/creamy cm, irritable, more cramping & pinching that didn't stop. The pinching is what made me begin to wonder. Cm turned more clear, had some nausea, but nothing major. Definitely noticing heightened sense of smell already.

Tested first thing early this morning: very, very faint bfp thought I was seeing things, & got darker after about 20 mins so thought it was evap line. Tested again after lunch. Light BFP in 2 mins!!!

It's a very early pregnancy, since I tested BFP 4 days before my missed period. Please pray for a sticky/healthy baby! We are so excited! & I am so thankful for this site to keep me sane. I've come here for both TTC journeys and you ladies are wonderful :)

I had my Mirena removed 6 weeks ago and I got my BFP today! I am so excited.

Here are my symptoms:

1 - 8DPO: Tender breasts, especially nipples, increased appetite

8DOO: BFN

9DPO: Biggest symptom - MASSIVE THIRST! Also diarrhoea (sorry, TMI!), clumsiness, tiredness. But couldn't get over how thirsty I am all the time. Metallic taste in mouth, bleeding gums. All on 9 DPO! Oh and spotty skin started...

10DPO: Thirsty again! Spotty, clumsy, tired. Constant fluttering in my tummy. Had a workout booked in the morning so took a test.... and.... BFP!!!!

My OPK never went positive so I wasn't sure that I'd ovulated but I followed CM and temps closely to identify ovulation.

I took folic acid, vitamin C, Omega 3, vit B6 and B complex (previous history of short luteal phase). I took EPO from day 1 of period until day after ovulation. Green Tea every evening.

Thank you everybody on this site, I couldn't have done the 2ww without you!

Hello Ladies! First of all, let me thank you all for keeping me occupied during my two week wait. My husband and I have been trying for another little one for about six months. DD is six and asked for a baby for Christmas AND her birthday. Considering she was a perfect and unexpected surprise, I did not think that it would be difficult to get my BFP the second time around. After a few months of charting, and analyzing my cycles I was getting very frustrated with AF arriving every time. And every single TWW was more pregnant feeling than the next. After my ovulation in March (13th) I wasn't very optimistic. I didn't feel any differently. No sore boobs, no sudden changes... Just waiting on AF.

On March 25th we went to a concert outside of town and I was just so sick! I thought for sure AF was on her way and was going to be a doozy. I went out and bought the expensive econobox of tampons and everything. I was positive she was coming.

A few days after she was supposed to arrive, I took a test and there was the faintest line (15 DPO). I was in total shock. Three very faint tests later, I was convinced. (Boobs sore now, like beyond sore...agony almost lol) I lined those bad boys up on the toilet and left a little note for Dad to wake up to. =)

I have been to the doctor twice and got to see my little bean via ultrasound this week. 8 weeks and 2 days along. I couldn't be more happy. I have been sick as a dog, constipated and exhausted. This pregnancy is MUCH harder on me than my previous one, but I am so ready. We have already chosen our Doula.

My one thought for you anxious ladies is that I was teh crazy early tester.... I was testing at 9, 10, 11 DPO and I would get SO discouraged becasue you read so many stories of other ladies getting their BFP's so early. Try to wait until you are late to start testing just to save some money. I know how hard it is. Baby dust to all! Now I want to find another place to talk with all the ladies who have "graduated" if anyone has any suggestions.

I have had an IUD for 5 years and after 3 months of TTC I'm pregnant. This is a month after a CM pregnancy which if I wouldn't have tested right before AF I would have never known because she came right on time.

Things I did this month is charted my temps, used OPKs, BD everyday of fertile period, took prenals and two Evening Primrose pills everyday. I have a 25 day cycle. My symtoms were:

1 DPO-13DPO Cramping on my right ovaries and abdomen. NO CM, which I thought was abnormal. They say you stay wet when you concieve :)
5 DPO- BBs tingle a little bit.
7 DPO- On and off headaches
8-12 CPO Tired and bad backache
12 DPO- Small amount of blood on tissue when I blew my nose. They say this could be from implantation but you never know. I never have nose bleeds so I decieded to test with a cheap Dollar Store test with urine right before bed and got a faint positive
13 DPO BFP!!! Day before AF took and EPT said Pregnant and a FRER both morning urine.

Please stay positive about your TTC. Stress only slows you down. I am 3 days past AF and hope baby sticks.

I've been not protecting for over 4 years. I started to actively ttc in September. I have just gotten a BFP at 9dpo. I am in absolute shock! I want to post a public service announcement here like so many of you did for me. I did a lot of things different this month. Deep tissue massage of my uterus and ovaries and tubes to break up potential scar tissue/adhesions from my c-section (for first 2 weeks only), agnus castus (vitex) and b12, 6, +folic all month, EPO first 2 weeks of cycle, BD for 4 days leading up to and 3 days after pos. OPK, worked out every 2 days (lifting weights mostly), and pineapple core around implantation. I am an RN and a skeptic at heart and I kept thinking all of these things were bogus but this month I went all out. Lo and behold something worked ;) I am right here with you all. The sorrows, the heartache, and the hope! Keep that hope. Before you know it you'll be where I am!! My luteal phase is usually 11 days and I used Softcups like always again this month.

7 dpo is when anything unusual happened…. Sore sides and bottoms of breasts (HUGE sign--usually it is the whole breasts in LP) and pain in uterus..a little like period cramps and a little bit of digging and a kind of fullness. I remember now I was peeing often, thirsty, and yawning a lot. Neg on HPT haha! I couldn’t wait.
8 dpo- heartburn and reflux (huge sign only get this when PG), creamy green-yellow-whitish stretchy CM, peeing, thirst, and pain in breasts and uterus persist.
9 dpo- only thing new is nausea in waves. Very very pale pos on $ store test. Husband brought home FRER—def pos but pale. OMG!! I am in shock. I thought I was broken and infertile.

I can't believe it happened so quickly!! I have been off BC (Mirena) since the end of September but this month was our first real month trying. I just calculated when I O through tracking my cycle the previous few months & then did the BD dance starting 5 days before O till 2 days after O. I really didn't know what to expect since this was our first month trying but I did it & I am so excited for a new baby right before Christmas.

Here are my symptoms during the TWW
1DPO - nothing
2 - 3DPO - some weird twinges in my uterus area
4DPO - started to have gas & burp a lot
5DPO - same
6DPO - increased CM (white & lotiony) also still burping
7DPO - same
8DPO - same & bbs started to feel sore
9DPO - same
10DPO - same, I took my first test on a target brand one got a BFN
11DPO - still burping, bbs were more sore, CM still there. Took another test on target brand BFN
12DPO - same symptoms. Took another test on FRER got a BFP
13DPO - same symptoms
14DPO - (today) took another test on FRER got another BFP with a darker line & symptoms are still the same

So there you go, it was a long 12 days before that BFP but it was well worth it, now for an even longer wait till Dec 1st

* Here is a pic of todays BFP

Just got a BFP and am SO excited!! My symptoms were:

1-7 dpo: no symptoms except lots of creamy/watery cm.
8 dpo: extremely tired! Slept a lot that day.
9 dpo: tired and emotional. took a test frer, couldn't be anymore negative! No faint lines or anything. :( felt a little defeated but decided to try in a few more days.
10 dpo: couldn't wait so I took another test with first morning urine, frer, BFP!! Faint but not a squinter! Confirmed later in the day with a clear blue digital, BFP!

This cycle I tempted, didn't use opks, monitered my cm, and used preseed and soft cups! I LOVE preseed! Definently recommend it, as well as the softcups. Good luck to all of you ladies! Best wishes!
