My husband and I have been trying for about 4 years. Got pregnant with assisted fertility (IUI and Clomid). Had miscarriage this past Jan 2012. I have PCOS and I barely have my menses. I had period on June 11, 2012 (Spotting) and since then I haven't had any period. Primary care physician prescribed me Metformin because the health was deteriorating as a result of the PCOS. Started taking Metformin on 07/22, which I disliked. Had pregnancy symptoms I believe 2 days after I suspected ovulation pain on 07/29. Bed on 07/29 and 07/30. Had flu symptoms with nasal congestion out of nowhere for 5 straight days after which it vanished. 2 days later my boobs were sore and started peeing frequently. I took pg test on 08/12 and it was BFN. I thought its one of those months again where I get pregnancy symptoms but no pregnancy. I started to have hurt burn and I lost appetite. I felt the urge to test anyways on 08/14 and it was blazingly BFP. I was shocked. I have never had a bright BFP before. I had my first beta on 08/17, which was 678, and the second beta on 08/20 was 2016. I believe I may be 4-5 weeks pregnant. My advice is trust in the Lord and at his appointed time he will show his blessings and it would be more than you expect. I prayed to the Lord every single day without loosing hope and faith in him. The road was tough but in end it was a blessing.

We have been trying for baby #4 for 7 months, I am 34 and DH is 38. Every month I would drive myself crazy thinking I had symptoms and then nothing! I had previously had acupuncture after a miscarriage for anxiety and depression symptoms and researched into how it could help with fertility I also found a book on a UK website that was written by a leader in Chinese medicine called "The Baby Maker" by Emma Cannon. The book was fantastic and gave me lots of advice and support and I also had acupuncture once a week for 4 weeks and took Chinese herbs to build the blood and QI.
I have just got my BFP, which was confirming deep down what I already knew from symptoms and I truly believe that when you are pregnant you just know! I can honestly say it was a mixture of the two things that has helped me fall pregnant lets hope it stays fingers crossed.
My symptoms were as follows:-
3, 4, 5DPO: Tender Boobs
6 DPO: Felt very nauseous at dinner time
7 DPO: Terrible headache, nauseous went for acupuncture and she said my pulse was superficial meaning I either had an infection or was pregnant.
8 DPO: Headache, did test was about to throw away and thought I could see very very faint line.
9 DPO: Headache, cramping. Test very faint line
10 DPO Headache, cramping. Test Very faint line
11 DPO Headache, cramping. Test faint line
12 DPO Headache, cramping nauseous. Test faint line
13 DPO same symptoms BFP on cheapie stick
14 DPO same symptoms BFP on First Response!!! Yay
I also had very vivid dreams and still do.
Hope this helps others as I have looked on this site regularly for inspiration I love the book and recommend it for advice and the acupuncture definitely did something!! Good Luck to everyone. x

I've been reading all of you girls' symptoms for months now, so it's only fair that I share my BFP story today! Here's my story:

I'm a mom (8 year old) and stepmom (9 year old) and very happy with life. Still I had one wish... To bring one more tiny being into this world to bring more light. I'm 39, 6 years after my divorce. I've struggled with my new relationship for a while when we moved in 2.5 years ago. But now: since a year we're a stable home for our two boys and we enjoy life so much. This wish came about again ... Could it be? We've talked and talked and decided: yes we'll do it. We'll see for 6 months, until my 40th birthday if God was to give us a brand new child to celebrate love and life. So we started... TTC the first round I became pregnant, but this didn't last. I lost it before I could get the BFP. Then for two cycles there was no baby... And this cycle I had so little symptoms I didn't believe in it. So I let go. Even had some wine in the first bit of the cycle (safe period though). Somehow though, I felt more tired, has (.)(.) pain and I was nauseated. But I had had those symptoms every month.... I decided to wait till 13DPO to test this time. That was this morning... And I could not believe my eyes. Neither could my husband: a Big Fat Positive! I'm SO happy that God gave us this new life! Amazing. What a gift. Here are my symptoms:

OD (cycle day 16) - Aug. 11
DPO 1- 4: no signs what so ever
DPO 5: a little tender (.)(.)
DPO 6-7-8: severe headaches, don't like food, nor coffee anymore (I'm an addict for coffee, but I quit because of TTC, but I still drank caffeine-free, now I didn't even want that).
DPO 8-13: a little nausea, mostly at night (!), very low energy, craving cheesy things (weird...)
DPO 13: test in the morning: BFP!!!!

Me and my partner have 2 children already both were conceived easily, my son was a one hit wonder and my daughter was conceived on the 4th cycle TTC. We started TTC in September 2011 the same month I had a chemical pregnancy and miscarried a week later at around 20 dpo.
We visited a fertility doctor with our local trust and I was put on a diet and exercise plan and my partner underwent semen analysis' 4 times. Eventually my bmi became within range and his sperm quality and motility became increasingly better so we were given an increased dose of Clomid. on the 3rd round of 50mg we finally got our bfp, and the irony? We were sat in the drs office totally unaware I was already pregnant. We are thrilled to be expecting #3 in May 2013. It took us 1 year to get to this point and will be our 3rd and final child :)

so cd 15 + opk
cd 16 temp dived
cd 17 o day - no ovulation symptoms
1 dpo - nothing
3 dpo - nothing
4 dpo - nothing
5 dpo - temp dive starting to think I didn’t ovulate after all
6 dpo - temp rise and cramping
7 dpo - temp dive again and cramps
8 dpo - no pms?
9 dpo - something off feeling full and achy uterus BFP with FRER!
10 dpo - BFP with cb digital
11 dpo - temp went triphastic
13 dpo - bfp with cheapie brand!

Thanks for reading!

After two long years of trying and one chemical pregnancy, I am now 5 weeks pregnant!

Last month was my first round of Clomid 50mg days 5-9 and I could have sworn I was pregnant a few days past ovulation. I had sore nipples and heavy feeling boobs around 5dpo along with dull cramps. I was also tried and had TONS of creamy white CM for a week straight. When AF came I was shocked.

This month I took 100mg days 3-7 and used Pre-Seed for the first time, and up until my BFP at 11dpo I would have sworn I was out this month. I actually called my doctor and asked if there was anything different I could do next month because I thought there was no way I could be pregnant. I had NO symptoms. I felt great, actually. I started getting some AF type cramps around 13dpo and my boobs got a little sore a day or so later. Now (at 5 weeks) I still have very few symptoms.. just a nice dark BFP!

Hang in there ladies, it will happen! And try using Pre-Seed. I really do feel it helped!

Finally a BFP! Fell pregnant easily last November but sadly had missed miscarriage. Was told to wait a few months post op before trying again due to some minor complications. Started trying in April, and after 5 agonizing TWWs, I am finally posting here!

This was my first month using OPKs and charting BBT and I found it to be a very helpful process. I didn't have nearly as many symptoms as last time, but noticed a few:

1-6 DPO nothing much. Bit crampy. Is it me or are my boobs tender?
7-13 DPO definitely sore boobs. Touchy and emotional. Some twinges but nothing I hadn't had in previous months before.

Fingers crossed this one sticks! Thanks for all the messages and BFP stories, good luck to all xx

Hello! I have been reading everyone's stories for a year now and I am SO excited to be writing my own! My DH and I have been TTC for one year now. We were married in August of 2011 and started right away. I became pregnant in January and was pregnant almost 10 weeks before being diagnosed with a blighted ovum and miscarried in March. I bled for seven weeks and it was such a heart wrenching and horrible experience. We were able to start trying again in June. But nothing happened until we took a little trip to Eureka Springs Arkansas for our anniversary.

Day of ovulation we BD'd and I held my pelvis up for a good 20 minutes
1 dpo- light cramping weird feeling in my gut almost menstrual like
2-7 nothing except very vivid dreams.
Starting at about 8 dpo I started having a bunch of symptoms sore breasts
Pinching and poking in my uterus area
Crazy sex dreams
My dog was all over me always having her head on my tummy :)
Feeling very "wet" down there
I poas at 10dpo and it was a VERY VVVEERRRY faint BFP!!! I thought I needed to get my eyeballs checked
I waited a couple days and then today at 12dpo I got a VERY DARK BFP!!!
I have been having really sore and full BBs and a backache, tired, and hungry but feel awesome!

I'd appreciate any prayers my way for this one to stick!

After 23 months and 2 miscarriages, I finally think this may be it. The last two cycles, I began medicated (gonal F 150) IUIs using donor sperm. It worked on the second cycle! Since I have been on progesterone, it has been hard for me to trust any symptoms...especially the sore/swollen breasts!

O day--major cramps (had 4 mature eggs)
3 dpo-dreams about an egg fertilizing, trouble sleeping
4-6 dpo-sore/swollen breasts, trouble sleeping
7dpo-sore/swollen breasts, shortness of breath, trouble sleeping, lower stomach pressure
8dpo-sore/swollen breasts, shortness of breath
9dpo-sore/swollen breasts, lower stomach pressure
10dpo-sore/swollen breasts, sore muscle-like stomach ache, fatigue
11dpo-sore/swollen breasts, sore muscle-like stomach ache, skin breakout, fatigue
12dpo-sore/swollen breasts, fatigue, sore muscle-like stomach ache, bloating, shortness of breath--went to health center because concerned about OHSS...BFP!!!

The 'only' changes I made this month were starting acupuncture and chinese herbs. I also gave up coffee and alcohol altogether and ate a healthy diet:

Check these symptoms out - got my BFP 12 DPO! BFN 10 DPO

1-3DPO:
Creamy cm (thought I mis-timed O!) have been charting cycles last 6 months. I'm def a regular/avg 28 day cycle so hoping conceiving straight forward, but have ttc 3 months with no luck. The only change this cycle is that I had acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Flatulence

4DPO
creamy cm, weird ache in upper chest above breasts in am while driving, wave of nausea while making kids banana bread, no sore breasts etc, def tired... had nap during day (very unusual for me I usually don't stop), hungry! Bloated! Flatulence

6DPO
slightly nauseous after breakfast, sensitive gums (zapping), creamy cm, bfn... I know too early, prob haven't even implanted yet! I really should no better! On the early preg forums some women getting faint line bfp at 6dpo so I thought... what the heck!? Ev pg different. Hunger has subsided somewhat, no symptoms today thinking nothing happening & preparing for AF, but have a 'feeling' this month ttc is different from others!!

However, was convinced pg before & had 'many' symptoms - stumped me... so now just going with the flow 2ww... not charting temps etc as yet. Will test when pg due in 7 days... slight cramping right side might be implantation! Larger appetite, still bloated! Flatulence

7DPO

8DPO
creamy cm, cramping gone, slight lower back pain/twinge while walking, tired, sore pain/twinge deep top right breast (right chest), strong smelling urine, woke temp up - feel hot, pain behind belly button

9DPO
creamy cm, no other symptoms, bfn tested morning & night, vivid dreams, hot

10DPO
creamy cm, constipation, cramping back right ovary, twinge pain deep left breast at bottom, bloated, strong smelling urine, hungry, insomnia

11DPO
all symptoms completely gone, no pms either ? Feel great! Insomnia :( doc said level 7 HcG on blood test. Too low to be certain. But "hopeful".

12DPO BFP! Clear blue digital reads 'pregnant 1-2' yaaaaaaay!!!

I'm 34 years old and ttc #3 baby - second marriage. 1 x miscarriage last year and now trying again. My children first marriage now aged 11 and 7. I have a daughter and son.

I conceived in my 20s and was 'easy'. 30s a different ball game! Chinese herbalist said ttc is easy during 30s if you get the environment right/corrected in the uterus and follicles working well to release egg from ovaries, and uterine wall strong. My friend put me onto acupuncture and herbs after she had 2 x miscarriages & lost a baby boy at 23 weeks! Was devastating. Had funeral etc for him. Now she has a healthy gorgeous baby boy after carrying him full term and is continuing the Chinese herbs for breast feeding. Happy ending!! She also has two older children and said this pregnancy & breast feeding a 'breeze' compared to other two and credits it to acupuncture & herbs. Her gorgeous blue eyed blonde haired baby boy is so healthy, settled and has slept through the night from early on. No digestive upsets etc for him or her & she has a great milk supply. He is thriving.

Got my BFP 12DPO! BFN 10DPO yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!

(PS… I'm, due 18 May 2013. NOTE: The 'only' changes I made this month were starting acupuncture and Chinese herbs. I also gave up coffee and alcohol altogether and ate a healthy diet).

No children, 39 years old, with in-complete lupus

I am 4 weeks and 5 days, had very few symptoms other than slight cramping and aching calf’s. In the last few days I have been emotional, slight breast tenderness that comes and goes, reflux, and increased sense of smell.

I tested this afternoon, I am normally regular and was 4 days past my AF, I still didn’t think I was pregnant. I actually through it in the bin and then decided to look again and there was 2 lines!

Have been trying for nearly 2 years, last 3 have ended in miscarriage, so fingers crossed. Only things I did different was a large glass of fruit and veg that I juiced with Omega 3 fish oil everyday. I am not great at eating my fruit and veg so this was a good way of getting my daily dose.

Best of luck xxxx

Wow what a rollercoaster I've been on the past few days! Ok so I posted my BFP story last month and ended up losing that pregnancy at 4 weeks and 3 days. So sad. Well two weeks later I ovulated and yep I'm pregnant again!!!

Having an early loss makes you crazy paranoid! It's so unreal how nervous I am and here's why.

This pregnancy is starting to feel slightly like last months but just not as severe. I was so positive thinking last month and I really don't want to think negative but I can't help it. Last month my back was killing me and I had lots of cramping and ovary sensations. I just knew that pregnancy wasn't normal. This month I've had some back pain on some days (something I never had with my son) but no cramping at all. Matter of fact all seems way to quiet in my tummy. No twinges, aches, cramps, nothing! So weird!

Well I'm currently 12 dpo today so WE SHALL SEE HOW THIS TURNS OUT.

Here's my story thus far...to be continued.

What I used:
Started progesterall (self-diagnosed b/c doctor refused even when I KNEW I had low progesterone) at 5po. Started with 20 mg and gradually increased to 80 mg when I got my bfp.
Take 1 baby aspirin daily starting in two-week wait.
Complete multivitamin
Use Pre-Seed every time we bd's and an instead cup if we bd during the day.
Bd's two days before ovulation, on ovulation day and 3 days after (just like last time) That seems to be my winning schedule.

1-5 dpo- not much. cm went from ewcm to wet to creamy and then dry.
6dpo- Breast are so sore on the sides. (I don't get sore breast at all)
7dpo- bd and noticed cervix felt high. Usually I can feel hubby hitting cervix when we bd after I've ovulated.
8dpo- breast still sore. Low back ache started before bed (uh oh)
9 dpo- no back aches. relieved. very hungry
10 dpo- a faint bfp. breast sore off and on today.
11 dpo- darker bfp but still faint. dull back pain all day. So scared by this.
12 dpo- super light bfp in am lighter than yesterday. WHAT!!!!!! I'm so scared. Another freaking chemical!! I retest with second morning urine and the test is darker. So relieved! A few light tummy cramps today. First sign of any kind of stomach sensations. Slight back aches throughout the day. My breast are only sore at night.

I'm suppose to get AF on Monday. I'm so scared. I just keep getting these sensations and running to the bathroom thinking I'm going to see AF.

Well, I thought I would share my story because I thought that maybe it would encourage those that have had trouble getting pregnant (or staying pregnant) in the past or maybe are struggling now. Just because that has been the case, doesn't necessarily mean it's your lot in life, and I'm proof.
To give you a little background: I get pregnant fairly easily, I got pregnant on my third month TTC in October of 2009; that ended up being a chemical pregnancy that I lost at six weeks. I knew from the beginning that I would lose it though, so it didn't hit me too hard. I found out I was pregnant again a mere 5 weeks after losing my first pregnancy, but lost that baby on Christmas Eve of 2009. I was devastated, crushed beyond measure; I did not see it coming. To add salt to the wound, I had five LONG months with no cycle. After much begging and pleading, I convinced my doctor to test my progesterone level when I got pregnant again (she wanted to wait until after three miscarriages.) After my cycle decided to finally return, I got pregnant on the second one, progesterone level tested borderline low, and with the aid of supplements, went to term with my now 18 month old little girl. First symptom with her: sore boobs several days before AF was expected, so I suspected I was pregnant before even POAS.
Fast forward to June of this year: we went off of BCP in May with the plan of TTC starting in September. I wanted to give my body some time to adjust to being off of the pill and was going to prevent pregnancy by avoiding the fertile days. Well, I ovulated 5 days late the month of June. I knew when I ovulated because my back hurt like menstrual pain but lighter, and I knew since we'd just done the deed that I could be pregnant. I even told my girlfriends that I thought I'd just gotten myself pregnant. At around 6 dpo, my back started hurting again, which I attributed to implantation and REALLY thought I was pregnant. At 9 dpo, I got the faintest of lines, couldn't even tell if there was color to it. I bought a "big sister" shirt for my daughter just in case, and low and behold, at 10 dpo got my BFP and my daughter got to wear her new shirt for my husband. I'm now at 13 wks. I was on progesterone supplements for the first 12 wks, and have spotted off and on through the whole pregnancy, annoying, but as long as baby is fine, I'm fine! I've even felt it move already.
It took 10 months the first time to get my sticky bean, and I think of the ones I've lost often, but keep your heads up, ladies; it's worth it in the end! While in the midst of miscarriages and infertility, I never thought I would get pregnant as easily as I did this time. It's such a blessing to have an easier road this time, and I want you to know that I read the stories on this site often and pray for many of you. Blessings and baby dust, ladies!

Sometimes the best symptoms are no symptoms.

I found out I was pregnant Nov 2011, only to miscarry in January 2012. I've tried just about everything to get pregnant since then Pre-Seed, evening primrose, vitanica's pregnancy prep, baby aspirin, randomly taking the progesterone supplements that my ob/gyn prescribed to "prevent" the last miscarriage. (I know, I know!) That only ended up screwing my cycles up and causing me increased pms. Headaches, dizziness, sore breasts, nausea and vomiting... horrible the past three or four months. So this month I stopped everything and started taking vitanica's adrenal assist to rebalance my hormones back out...and boom the pms symptoms stopped. I had no symptoms...I thought it was just the Adrenal Assist and I was preparing to write them an awesome review. Then the day AF was suppose to come, I realized I hadn't taken my usual pregnancy tests (I'm a poas addict) and the line popped up instantly. I used the same urine to dip the opk tests just for fun...and the result line was instantly darker. Yay!

Heyy. I posted Saturday in 'Do You Think I’m Pregnant,' it was titled 'AF 8 Days Late, Could I Still be Pregnant??' Since posting I have had 2 BFP!!! It was also confirmed by an OB. There are a few things I forgot to mention in the post that I wanted to share now. They may be able to give a few ladies out there some hope!! I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 20 after my husband and I had 3 very unsuccessful years of ttc. I was basically told by my dr to let go of the dream of a family. I didn’t have the money for fertility treatments and had no insurance. 1.5 years later I found out I was 11 weeks and 6 days pregnant without any medical intervention. All I had done was switch to a fully raw diet, cut out tobacco and soda and exercised my butt off. June of 2010 I gave birth to a healthy beautiful little girl. Soon after, my husband and I started trying for baby #2 knowing it wouldn’t be an easy task. By December 2010 I had lost a pregnancy at 15 weeks. It crushed us so we stopped trying. April 2012 I lost another at 4 weeks. I had only found out I was pregnant 3 days earlier... once again I went to a fully raw diet, exercised my butt off and here I am today 4.5 weeks pregnant with what could very easily be twins according to my blood work. Don’t give up hope if you have PCOS!!! What is meant to happen always will when it’s the right time... I’ll keep you all posted as the pregnancy progresses.

I received my BFP two days after my missed period and to be honest I wasn't expecting it. For the last year, since I had a miscarriage I have been peeing on a stick routinely the day after every period - even if I do bleed, just because I've been wanting to have another child (for what feels like forever) - maybe even reaching the point of obsession for a while, to be honest. But after speaking with my doctor, she advised that I stop tracking my ovulation, stop obsessing about having a baby and just go on with living and enjoying my 4yr old daughter as usual. So I did and wouldn't you know, three months later I got my BFP! So what everyone says is true, stop trying and it will happen. As hard as it is to put it from your mind, especially when you know ovulation is right around the corner, do something to take your mind off things. For example, I started to take walks - on my lunch breaks at work, in the evening with my daughter, and wouldn't you know I lost 15lbs (which of course now I will gain back) but still, it put me in a healthier position to have a baby and kept my mind off of having a baby.
My symptoms were pretty close to typical period symptoms:
Tingly nipples
Cramps, that felt like period cramps but were more centered
Some sharp pains on the left and right side
Two days before I tested I noticed some brown spotting when I went to the bathroom
Certain smells made me queasy, like when my daughter would eat peanut butter bread in the car - which never bothered me before
And frequent urination - this was a biggie for me because I never get up in the middle of the night to pee, but for three days in a row I did.

I hope this helps everyone. Keep your chins up and don't get discouraged. God is good - always and he will bless you with a child when the time is right.

I was diagnosed with PCOS and yesterday 9/11/12 I tested and finally BFP after 2 m/c. I can’t be specific as to how long I am because I have irregular periods.
And as far as symptoms, I have none whatsoever!!! Only tender boobs :-) No food cravings or anything.

We have been TTC for 18 months. I was pregnant in April but miscarried at 5 weeks. I've been on the waiting list for a fertility appointment for 6 months. I was starting to get fed up waiting so decided to try acupuncture. I think I have a hormonal imbalance. I went for 6 sessions of acupuncture and just got my BFP. I found the acupuncture relaxing and I'm sure its the reason I got my BFP. I didn't have a lot of symptoms. The symptoms I had are:

DPO 1-8 mild af cramps (I have this most months so thought I wasn't pg) From 9 DPO onwards I had a cold that would come and go. My biggest clue was on 10 DPO, I felt really unwell with a cold in the morning but was fine by the evening. I tested the next day with a FRER and got a strong BFP. Other symptoms included sore bbs and cramps.

Good luck everyone. Baby dust to u all

So here is a quick history. @19 years old I had an ectopic and took the methotraxate. I was about 5 weeks pregnant with that baby. Met my DH when I was 22. We got pregnant in April of 2008 but sadly that pregnancy ended in an early first trimester loss at about 6 weeks. We got another bfp with our darling daughter in July of 2008. Haley was born March 19 2009 5.15oz so we decided we would like to add to our family and started to ttc in June of 2011. We had a chemical pregnancy in December 2011. It ended way before it ever began. But lo and behold we got another BFP March 15 2012! Sadly our angel grew wings @ 11 weeks we had a missed miscarriage in May 2012. We decided that we wanted to TTC right away. 2 cycles later and still nothing. Then finally in August at 8 dpo i got the urge to test. I thought I was out from the start as I didn't have any of my classic symptoms like sore bbs or increased CM like I had in the past. But I POAS an internet cheapie and I swear I could see the faintest line ever. DH couldn’t see it. So I bought a CB +/- and BFP right away! But I was still apprehensive as those blue dyes are not so great so I got into my RE office the same day got my beta done. @ 8dpo my beta was at 17!! Two days later at 95!!! I am now currently 7 weeks 5 days and taking this pregnancy one day at a time. Just when I thought that lack of symptoms meant I was out I got my bfp!! But let me tell you it didn't last long cause I jumped on the m/s train right at 4 weeks!! Something that I never had with our last pregnancy so I thank god for the m/s it is encouraging.

History: DH and I are 31 and have a healthy 3 y old son who was conceived after 11 mo of TTC. I was diagnosed with PCOS while trying to get pregnant with him. I have no PCOS symptoms other than irregular and sometimes annovulatory cycles (I am a healthy weight and have no excess hair growth or acne). We started TTC #2 in August 2010 and got pregnant in November 2011 (after 15 months on metformin which helped regulate my cycles). Unfortunately, we found out at 14 weeks that the baby had died at 10 weeks and I had a D&C. Had complete fertility work-up done- DH's sperm count is good, my tubes are clear, but luteal phase is short and still having annovulatory cycles despite the metformin. Started clomid 50 mg d 3-7 2 cycles after D&C since we did not want to wait so long to get pregnant again. On our third cycle, we got a BFP on CD 32!

Symptoms:
We BD'd on CD 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20. EWCM noted on CD 15, 16, and lots on CD20. Assume O day is CD20. Quit temping a long time ago-too stressful! Did not notice much different until about 7 DPO- twingy cramps that could have been implantation (??), then lower backache and hip pain started and hung around for at least a week. My biggest clue was feeling super hungry all the time, dizzy, and hot. Also very gassy! Finally POAS on 12 DPO and got a BFP with FMU (Life brand). Repeat BFP on 13 DPO. Today is 15 DPO and breasts are tender on and off, still feeling hungry (need to eat often), fatigue is setting in, constipated, peeing all the time, and dizziness comes and goes. Feel a lot more symptoms than the last "failed" pregnancy, which is a good sign.

What we did this month: legs in the air after BD (who knows if this works or not) and BD'd more often (usually we don't on CD20 so we may have been timing it too early). Also, I was less stressed (passed angel baby's due date in August), and felt more accepting of my body not always doing things according to my "grand plan". Focused on my wonderful DS and how blessed we are to have him. Now we are blessed again with hope that he will have a sibling next May.

God bless all of you in your TTC journey, whether it is long or short, it's never easy!

With my first pregnancy the only symptom I had before I found out (which I used the First response and found out 5 days before my missed period) was being extremely tired. He ended up passing away at 36 weeks. (He was a stillborn)
Today I am happy to say that we found out this morning that I am expecting again (I took the Walgreens brand test which is cheaper then the generic brands and all three test came positive)
Here are my symptoms with my second pregnancy:
-A lot of white discharge which is thick 2 days before my expected period (which was so much that when we and my husband bd it looked like I was ovulating still there was so much white discharge)
- Extremely tired (so tired that I would wake up and by 2 o'clock I was ready for a nap again)
- My boobs were extremely sore ( without touching them they hurt but this only lasted one day)
-I didn't get bloated like I usually do a week before my period
- I was craving broccoli which I hate (which only lasted a day of craving)
-My back hurt so bad (which I never get back pains so at first I thought something was wrong)
That’s all my symptoms so far. I didn't keep track of the days because this is the first month that I finally gave up trying to get pregnant again. So don't give up hope. What helped me get pregnant was just not worrying about getting pregnant. We finally just decided not to try and the first month we didn't try I got pregnant. I know it’s hard I think we all have been there. I have spent countless amounts of money on pregnancy test to test early just to get a negative result and start 3 days later. If you wait until the day of your missed period its more accurate of a result plus you won't get a broken heart of just seeing negative test because you tested to early.
