BFP First Cycle After Miscarriage

Where too start...
Sep/Oct I miscarried naturally at 7 weeks. 28 days from the day my MC started I got my first AF.

This month I tried BBT, confirmed ovulation on CD19.

This month I took:
Fresh Royal Jelly (started day 3 of my MC - partner took capsules daily)
Soy Isoflavones (CD3- CD7 - took only a super small dose because i read the label wrong, each tablet was 15mg not 30mg as originally thought)
Pineapple Core (1dpo - 4dpo)
Pre-Seed - external only

CD17 - Stabbing pain in left ovary area
CD18 - Middle cramps
CD19 - Ovulation Day - cramps
1-4 DPO - Cramps
5 DPO - Cramps & yellow creamy CM
6-7 DPO - Cramps & EXTREME Fatigue
8 DPO - Cramps, extreme fatigue, tested with internet cheapie & saw a super super faint line, re-tested with second morning pee straight after FMU with FRER (early one) & faint line but there BFP BFP BFP!!!!! Took 1 in the evening & it was even darker!!
BETA for 8DPO (10am) = 18
9 DPO - Cramps, extreme fatigue, tested first thing & line was darker, tested again in evening & it was even darker!!!!!
10 DPO (today) - Stronger cramps, fatigue! I'm struggling to keep eyes open, going for next BETA this morning! BFP!

With my last pregnancy my progression was super slow! To the point that the test would only get a tad darker every 7 days!

I'm super happy with this progression! I cannot believe it! My partner and I are super happy & fully excited! We hope to see the heartbeat of our little bean in next few weeks!! I also could not believe how quickly it implanted & how early I got a BFP!!! My chart is fully clear & there is no way I could have ovulated any earlier!

I believe Royal Jelly helped me ovulate earlier too! It helps with egg quality & cycle regulation! My period before my first BFP was always 33-48 days, next month was never the same... this month I ovulated on CD19, 32 day period! FIRST EVER!! WOW!!!

Baby dust to all!!

P.s. Wonder if it's Multiples?

FINALLY!!! My husband and I have been TTC for at least a year. We lost two babies in 2011, the first in July and the second in October. Neither developed further than 5 week so honestly I will not be entirely certain that we were successful until I see a heartbeat. We are definitely staying positive!!! LMP was on October 26th, sex on Nov. 8th, O between Nov. 9th and 11th. Tested Nov. 23rd BFP after trying for 1 year.

This cycle I had the typical symptoms -- mild cramps, mild pms, and a single period pimple. However, I didn't feel the "churning" or "creeking" feelings I usually feel that indicate blood is coming. My husband said he noticed my bbs were engorged 1 week before my missed period. I kept feeling like AF was coming until the day it was expected. My cycles have ranged from 23-28 days all year, so it was very hard for me to predict whether or not we'd conceived. On day 28 I tested at 10:30a, that was my second pee of the day, and got BFP! BTW... I did not experience implantation spotting or bleeding.

BFP After Trying For 18 Months

Me: 30
Husband: 31
We have been trying since June 2011 and diagnosed with unexplained infertility. We got pregnant in Nov. 2011 but miscarried at 6 weeks :( We started going to the reproductive endocrinologist in May 2012 after 12 very frustrating months. The doctor ran many tests and everything came back normal. By the end of July, we were still not pregnant, so we decided to start Clomid in August. We started on 50 mg on days 5-9 and did blood work and ultrasounds around my ovulation. We also did a sperm wash and IUI to increase our chances. My blood work never showed a LH surge, so I had to self administer the ovidrel shot to trigger ovulation. In September, the doctor increased the dosage to 100 mg to give me more of a chance to produce more eggs. My lining was thinner, but I had 3 great eggs and my husband's count was strong...ovidrel again with IUI. In October, we stayed on 100 mg of Clomid and repeated the same routine of BW, US, ovidrel, and IUI. We had gotten so tired of all the medications and doctor appointments, so we decided to stop all meds in November. I got my period on October 24, and got a second period on Nov. 4. The doctors couldn't figure out if it was another cycle or just random, so we kept trying on our own! This morning, I tested because I had 14 days of high temperatures.... and BFP!!!!! We're overjoyed and we just hope that our story provides some hope to those who find themselves losing faith. It will happen!!

Symptoms:
DPO 10-13 Headache and very tired
DPO 14 BFP!!!!!

35 yrs Old BFP First Try!

I have a son who is 17 from a previous relationship but my hubby does not have any kids.
We have been together for almost 4 years. I fell pregnant about 2 yrs ago and lost it at 8 weeks. I was heavily overweight and decided to lose some b4 trying again. I had bariatric sleeve surgery 4 months ago and have lost 33 kilos (72 pounds). Since it can take up to a year at my age to fall we thought we would start now. So I bought some OPK's and HPT's and what do u know - BFP! at 9 dpo. I thought I was out so I ordered some more tests online (what a waste!).

My cycle was wonky this time as a lot was going on - I ovulated a lot later than usual, my body would gear up then nothing. Finally the day before I was due to go on a trip in another state I got a positive OPK so we BD's that night and the next afternoon b4 I left. I ovulated while I was out of town.

CD 20 - + OPK bd evening
CD 21 - +OPK bd afternoon
CD 23 - ovulation dip
CD 24 - thermal shift
1-3 DPO - nothing
4 DPO - cramps and spotting (never spotted here b4)
5 DPO - more cramps, fatigued and gassy
6 DPO - gassy, yellow CM
7 DPO - Negative test - i know too early!! Yellow CM
8 DPO - cramps fatigue and dizziness yellow CM
9 DPO - fatigue and dizziness
10 DPO - BFP with IC and FRER.

I'm now 14 DPO and I had more cramps but they have settled today. I have been dizzy on standing and emotionally crazy! My heart rate has increased and my cervical mucus is wet but creamy.

I am off to get bloods done in the morning to confirm. Stick baby stick.

Hope all you ladies TTC get your +'s soon. I'm proof that its possible in your 30's to conceive right away. I have diabetes, high blood pressure and am still overweight but had no trouble.

Hi everyone,

In August I found out I was pregnant and at 9 weeks along I found out I had a missed miscarriage and was told I needed a D&C as it wasn't passing naturally. I never came on here to report my symptoms from the last one although I did find some comfort in reading all the symptoms which helped me to know it was quite probably that I was while I was going through the TWW.

Well, this time I want to post my symptoms because it helped me so much and I'm trying to do things differently to help me believe that this time the result will be different. I found out I was having a short luteal phase after the D&C but only really cracked it this month and got my BFP yesterday so now I am just eating up those progesterone tablets and hoping for a very sticky bean!

Here is the breakdown:

CD 16 Ovulated - BD'd day 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17 - surely one of these had to work
2 - 6 dpo - Diarrhea, hard bloated stomach before bed, creamy cm, o-like twinges in left ovary (I also ate pineapple core and flesh - divided into 5 pieces over the 5 days)
5 dpo - Increased appetite, had a sweet tooth, and acid reflux
6 dpo - Boobs fuller but not tender no matter how much I tried to find out if they would be
7 dpo - Phlegm back of throat, eyes heavy and feel like starting to get sick. Skin breakout, creamy cm, acute sense of smell, diarrhea still and bloated
8 dpo - Diarrhea (I still have this so I'm on day 9 currently - I got this before my very first BFP in August as well), creamy cm, bloated, slight temperature dip
9 dpo - Diarrhea, phlegm, creamy cm, a tiny bit nauseous early afternoon
10 dpo - Night sweats, temp up more, crap sleep, tested in am and got the faintest BFP that I chose to believe was nothing...although was hopeful it was something
11 dpo - Temp rise this morning, tested with 2 different brands with FMU and got 2 positives... still not super strong but at least they're clearly visible now unlike yesterdays.

Since the D&C I have very skant cervical fluid so I resorted to temping and I'm thankful that I did otherwise I would have got the day I O'd really wrong and not found out about my possible low progesterone levels. I've been taking prenatals since the start of this month. Some other things I did to help implantation was eat walnuts, eggs, drink pineapple juice (not a lot but this was as well as eating the pineapple core), drink only decaf coffee since O with half soy milk and half full fat, and have actually been on a low carb diet all month because I still hadn't shaken the weight gain from the first BFP...so high protein for me. I go in for my beta's tomorrow morning so hoping the numbers come back in a good range.

I am super excited but trying to contain it until I reach an acceptable week. All the best to everyone - I hope this has helped some of you.

BFP on Third Try, After Miscarriage

I suffered a miscarriage in August of 2012 after getting off BC and trying for one month. The baby stopped developing at about 6 weeks and we were told it was likely due to 'chromosomal abnormalities' or some other unexplainable reason. One month after the miscarriage, we started trying again. Had two months of negative pregnancy tests in Sept and Oct 2012. This was our third try and two tests have come up BFP! Third times a charm, I suppose :).

I use Clearblue's Ov Test with the smiley face indicator, which I find to be effective (used this brand the first time too). I got the indication of an LH surge on CD 13, so I assume I ovulated on CD 14. We BD'd on CDs: 10,12,13,14,15.

(Note - I start counting DPO beginning on CD 15, the day after I think I ovulated)

1 DPO- Nothing
2 DPO- Moody. Became emotional and mad at my husband for saying my portion of food was "big".
3-5 DPO- Nothing that I noticed.
6-10 DPO - Bleeding gums, Creamy CM (its usually more liquid prior to AF - this was thicker than usual)
11 DPO - Insomnia, Bleeding gums, Creamy CM. Took test at night ($1 store brand) and a faint line showed up.
12 DPO - Insomnia, Creamy CM, Bloated. Took test in AM (first response) and a line showed up!

Praying it is sticky! Good luck and baby dust to all!

I was diagnosed with mild PCOS. I was put on Clomid and injectibles. Below are my symptoms for both pregnancies:

Pregnancy 1
DPO1 onwards - Sore breasts
DPO6 - Woke up in the middle of the night with sharp pain in tummy (suspecting it's implantation)
DPO8 - Very sore and bleeding gums
DPO12 - Shivering in the middle of the night
DPO16 - Tested positive
Miscarriage a few days later

Pregnancy 2
DPO1 onwards - Sore breasts
DPO9 - Sore and bleeding gums
DPO18 - Tested positive

For me, the give away were the sore breasts and bleeding gums as usually the soreness of my breasts will disappear about a week after DPO.

WOW!! BFP 2nd Cycle After MC

Well, I am sooo incredibly happy to report my BFP!! I know it sounds stupid but I didn't think this was my month as a psychic told me I would conceive in or around the month of Dec (so was holding out for a Dec BFP). Now my back story. I am currently TTC number 1. We are a same - sex couple and use the AI home insemination method (one donation per cycle). I use conceive Plus half an hour before insemination. I didn't get a +OPK this cycle, but a pretty dark line that I took as +. I ovulated on cd 21 (2 days after insemination). Got my BFP in March 2012 but sadly had a MMC. Miscarried in May and bled for 19 days. AF didn't return for almost 4 months, but I finally got AF in Sep 2012). This was my 2nd cycle after MC. I chart my BBT in degree Celsius. Currently 12dpo and got my BFP at 7dpo - here are my symptoms:

O day: cramping. Temp = 36.5

1dpo: The only thing I did have was TENDER BREASTS (not the nipple area, and they weren't as sore as previous cycles, or the pregnancy that I mc'd) Temp = 36.6

2 dpo: Nausea - Was sure this wasn't my month as I was having nausea throughout my whole cycle anyway- from cd 14, so this cannot really be classed as a symptom I guess. Mild cramps Temp = 36.8

3dpo: Tender breasts (still not bad) and fatigue. I also started with gas!! Temp = 36.7

4dpo: Gassy! Tender breasts, backache Temp = 36.9

5dpo: Boobs start getting sorer...and the nipple area was sore! VERY gassy, Nausea started up again. Temp = 36.9

6dpo: Fatigue really set in. Mild backache and cramps. In the evening I had the taste of blood in my mouth...was wondering if this was the 'metal taste' I had heard about...but dismissed it and thought it could have possibly been from the iron in Pregnacare that morning (unlikely but still possible). Veins in boobs seem prominent and raised. Temp = 36. 8

7dpo: Nausea, gassy, backache. That afternoon something just told me to test...BFP!! Tested again later that night...4 times - all BFN's - thought I had a duff test in the afternoon and was out! Increased appetite Temp = 37.2

8dpo: SKIN BREAKOUT!! Not like me at all - even when AF is due! Tender breasts, fatigue, backache and gassy! Tested in am - BFN...or is that a line...or line eye? It is...nope, it's not...aggghh STOP LOOKING AT THE TEST CARLY!!! Tested again in the afternoon on a Superdrug Early test WOW!! I see the line...definite BFP but faint!! Cannot stop looking at it. Forget about it for a while and then...*SCREECH* Cannot get my head around it! Temp = 37.1

9dpo: Nausea, tender breasts even more tender. I test in the morning and my line is super faint still...is this a chemical?? Tested again in the afternoon...Woohoo darker line for definite!! Get Clearblue Digi - PREGNANT 1-2 weeks!! OMG OMG OMG...O.H cried!! EXCITED!!! Temp = 36.9

10dpo: Frequent urination, gassy and tender breasts - vivid dreams start! Temp = 37

11dpo: Fatigue, cramps and the usual. Temp = 36.9

12dpo: Dreamt of Madonna last night hahaha?! Definite vivid dreams going on! Another skin break out. Line much darker on IC. Temp = 37.1

I am praying for a sticky bean!! Good luck to you 2ww ers and best of luck!! BABYDUST!!!

BFP the Month We Took a Break!

Hi, like so many others I have been haunting this site for the last 12mths trying to keep my hopes up and enjoy others BFP's. 12mths ago last week we lost our first pregnancy at 12wks, mmc followed by 2 d&c's due to retained product, I was devastated. I fell pregnant again quickly getting my next BFP in march this year, only it wasn't quite the BFP more like the faint positive and finally by almost 7 weeks I was diagnosed with an ectopic and after 2 round of methotrexate still ended up in surgery and lost my right tube. Again my world fell apart 2 weeks before my 37th birthday. Every month that went by after that I got more stressed at not getting my BFP again until finally I realized I just wasn't myself anymore, BD wasn't fun it was a chore. No oral (cos it's bad for sperm!) poor DH was getting performance issues having to rise to the occasion on command. So we decided to take a month off, no charting, stopped all vitamins (vitex, pre natals, vit b, coq 10 yes almost everything) enjoyed ourselves even though we only bd'd 3 times!
Today, dpo 11, on DH 37 birthday I got my BFP, with very few symptoms although I'm sure there were more every month before.
This month I was doing acupuncture still and ate pineapple only because they're in season and lovely, most if all I relaxed, didn't chart and tried not to stress. I said goodbye to my cat 1 week into the 2 week wait which emotionally was huge as she had been with me for 16 years but after 2 weeks nursing her as she was very unwell it was a relief to see her at rest.
Symptom by day:
Cd9 - bd
Cd12 - bd
Cd13 - suspected ovulation day bd again.
Dpo 1-6 - no symptoms
Dpo 7-8 - slight cramping remarked to DH that for first time in months I actually don't feel anything and feel quite normal
Dpo 9 - at shopping centre and smell of sushi hits me like a wall from 5 meters away (first clue)
Dpo 10 - bbs starting to feel tender on sides and heavy and sore when bra taken off
Dpo 11 - mild headache off and on, couldn't wait any longer something definitely going on. BFP with FMU on FRER.

Sorry for the long story, but all I can say is I was stressed and everyone telling me to relax was only annoying me more. But I'm going to say it now to you all, find something else to worry about, don't think about ttc. I've proved it's not just emotional stress because I certainly had plenty of that with cat dying, just not to do with conceiving. Bd'ing 20 times in the month isn't going to work any better than 3 quality times and most of all enjoy each other and RELAX, yes I know I hated hearing it too and easier said than done.
Hoping now for a sticky bean, and healthy 8mths more.
Baby dust to you all

Got BFP After 3 Years of TTC and One Miscarriage in April 2012

Never give up on your dream. My doctor told me I had 2 more months of trying before she was going to pull the plug. She increased my clomid from 50mg to 100mg after being on 50mg for 5 months. She was hoping it would give me a chance that at least one egg will make it though my swollen tubes. I'm only 26 years old but my endometriosis was so bad that even after laparoscopy it still didn't look good for us to get pregnant. I got pregnant in Feb 2012 and I had every symptom in the book. My doctor called it our miracle baby. Everything looked great until around 9 weeks. I woke up with the worst cramps. They would go away then a couple minutes later they would be back. No bleeding but I decided to call the doctor. They asked me to come in asap. Did a ultrasound and there was no heart beat. I'm not trying to scare anyone but I was always told if no bleeding you are fine. Well lets get to the good stuff. I got my BFP after a 2 negatives we are so excited. Here were my symptoms-

CD 14 - 18 Got a positive O test, ran out of tests but we bd 12-19, had never gotten more than one positive test even before my first pregnancy. Decided it was the increased clomid.
CD 19 - 24 No discharge, felt bloated, so much that I couldn't eat at Thanksgiving
CD 26 Took a test came up negative, discharge came back
CD 27 Had a bloody nose for first time in life, could have been due to weather it was very cold
CD 28 No symptoms but cramps telling me that flow was coming, toke a test any way it was negative
CD 29 Flow late but I thought due to Clomid because I have never taken 100mg before still have cramps
CD 30 Keep thinking flow was coming but didn't
CD 31 Took a test after 4 days being late I got my BFP!!!

Nothing stood out but feeling bloated. I get a little bloated before flow but never like that. I can't believe I didn't have many symptoms. I'm now 5 weeks pregnant and only have a little nausea, cramps and still bloated. I didn't feel like this at all with first pregnancy.

Praying it is sticky bean! Good luck to everyone and baby dust to all!

BFP After m/c in April... So Excited!!

This is my first post, I have been following posts for the past few months. We had a blighted ovum m/c in April, didn't find out until 11 weeks and we were devastated. Took a break for a while to recover emotionally. This was our 4th month TTC after the loss. I have been praying for God's will for our baby, and I knew he would make it happen when the time was right. This was also my first month charting, also I used ClearBlue Digital OPK and found out I was ovulating later than I thought. Timing is in fact everything!

So here have been my symptoms so far:
O day 18
dpo1-8: mild nausea, constipation, and excessive creamy white CM
dpo9-16: sore bbs, nausea, constipation, and creamy CM
Also crazy, vivid dreams and a few nose bleeds.
dpo11: BFN
dpo14: BFP!! Light positive line on ClearBlue test, confirmed positive with ClearBlue Digital!

I am having Hcg levels done this week to make sure they're increasing on schedule, then we have an ultrasound scheduled for Dec. 20. I am praying and hoping for a healthy heartbeat so we can tell our families at Christmas! Nervous and excited for our ultrasound apt. I am trusting God and hoping that this will be our take home baby in August! Prayers appreciated!

Birthday BFP With No BIG Symptoms!

Hey ladies! Super excited to post over here, here's a little background: This is our 4th month TTC our first baby, first two months were more like NTNP, and the last two I used OPKs to detect ovulation which was usually around day 17-19 of a 32-33 day cycle. Last cycle, I got a very early BFP on a blue dye test, followed by early bleeding and BFNs, so I'm not sure if that was a false positive and a wacky cycle or a possible chemical as it was never confirmed by a doctor.

This cycle, we got our first REAL BFP on my 29th birthday, and we couldn't be happier! Here is a breakdown of my TWW, although I must say it was pretty uneventful compared to previous cycles, where I had every symptom in the book, so don't be discouraged if you have minimal symptoms!

BD'd pretty much every other day after the end of AF til our first + OPK, then BD each day of + OPK
CD 16 + OPK, BD
CD 17 + OPK, BD (probably O day)
CD 18 + OPK, BD

1-4 DPO creamy cm, gas, bloating, nothing too unusual
5-6 DPO creamy cm and that is IT, I'm telling you, pretty uneventful
7 DPO creamy cm, light backaches, start of period like cramps that were way too early for me, increased appetite and cravings (I HAD to have chocolate milk and spicy Doritos which I NEVER eat), start of fatigue
8 DPO creamy cm, still craving chocolate milk and Doritos, and so tired I had to take a nap after work and didn't work out
9 DPO creamy cm, bloating, light period like cramps, and fatigue (took ANOTHER nap!)

When I woke up from my nap at 9 dpo, I just had this overwhelming feeling that I should test, and I took an FRER at 6 pm and got a faint BFP! Followed by a digital the next morning at 10 DPO that read PREGNANT--so unreal.

The only thing that has stood out and made me test was the extreme fatigue and period like cramps that started so early. I had no implantation signs this cycle (I had what I thought was IB last cycle). I'm currently 14 DPO, confirmed pg at the doctors through a urine test, and awaiting my 8 week U/S to confirm that everything is on track. So I'm still very early at 4 weeks 3 days, and having no real symptoms still.

Praying that this little bean sticks, and praying for all of you ladies on this TTC journey. This cycle I just tried to put this decision in God's hands, and prayer for his will to be done, rather than for him to give us a child. I also talked to the little bean pretty much every day, praying for it to stick and be healthy. God is so good, and He knows the desires of our hearts. Keep the faith ladies!

Almost gave up this month, but knew when I was ovulating so I made sure to have sex (thinking I'd be disappointed again)
2 dpo - Gums bleed when I brushed my teeth
3-5 - Nothing out of the ordinary, but my temps were high
6-9 - Very hormonal, cried over the Christmas tree and commercials on tv. tested with a very clear BFN @ 9dpo!
10 - Cramps, pulling feeling, very bloated, just had a feeling to test again.. So I tested and got a faint BFP! Couldn't believe my eyes. Figured I was just wishing the pink to be there :p tested again with a yes/no test.. and sure enough A POSITIVE... whoo hoo!!
I am very scared of miscarrying again, but am trying to stay only positive! Good luck to everyone trying!


Trying About One Year After Last Miscarriage. I Have PCOS.

$
0

I've had 2 missed miscarriages in the last 3 years (1st one - heartbeat stopped at 9 1/2 weeks, 2nd one - blighted ovum that measured at 6 weeks). I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2008 and I take metformin for this. I was not taking it during my previous pregnancies because I was trying to regulate my symptoms naturally. This time around I was drinking Fertilitea and taking metformin for 2 months before we officially started trying. My last two cycles were consistent (which never happens). I seem to ovulate on day 18 which is a little late compared to the average but still, much better than it has been (used to have 45 day cycles, down to 32 day cycles). We also used an OVWatch, an OPK and tracked temps, cervix texture and position, and CM. We were determined to succeed and we did. Below are all of my symptoms according to my chart on fertility friend.

1 dpo - Backache, bloated, gassy, skin break out (all normal after ovulation), very light crampy twinges (never felt it before but probably just normal post-ovulation stuff).

2 dpo - Same as above but with mild nausea, heartburn, mildly tender breasts, congestion and fatigue (think I'm getting sick)

3-5 dpo - Heartburn, fatigue, mild nausea (like when you try to read on a moving vehicle), mildly tender breasts, sensitive nipples, gassy, frequent urination, runny nose in am, congestion in pm, very light uterine twinges (like fluttering or pulling). Still thinking it's just normal post-ovulation stuff and possibly me getting sick.

6 dpo - Everything from before plus constipation, cramps (in uterine area and legs), two different dizzy spells, very irritable. Starting to feel like maybe it's possible we succeeded. :)

7 dpo - Lots of my symptoms have disappeared today. just having frequent urination, mildly tender breasts (you have to push on them for them to hurt), sensitive nipples, slightly acute sense of smell, increased appetite, irritability and big time increase in CM (kept thinking I had somehow wet my pants).

8 dpo - Backache is back, everything else is the same as all of the days before. Definitely testing tomorrow.

9 dpo - Had to pee like a racehorse first thing in the am. Took a test - BFN. It's ok, it's still early. Not much of a change in symptoms today, just maybe a little milder than previous days. Maybe we missed this month. That's ok. We can try again next month.

10 dpo - Breasts more tender than before, nausea a bit more severe, very emotional (started crying in the middle of a convo with one of my BFFs for no reason), very vivid and colorful dreams last night, slightly strong smell to CM (not fishy or yeasty, normal smell just strong).

11 dpo - Freaking out in the AM. Symptoms have pretty much all left the building. Texted DH and said I thought we didn't succeed this month. He says he thinks it's the calm before the storm. Around 4:30-5 pm all H*ll breaks loose. Lightheaded and motion sick, can't catch my bearings, light sensitive, headache, nausea, whole body ached, major pinching in abdominal area. Sat in our recliner when I got home from work and did nothing for the rest of the evening. Felt worse than flu.

12 dpo - After last night I wanted to test again. BFP!!! DH was right! Motion sick most of the day (especially when riding in car). Craving spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's (I mean CRAVING). When I got home I meant to watch a movie and fell asleep. Could not wake up! Slept from about 5:30pm - 10:30pm when I had to get up to pick up DH from work. Came home and went straight to bed. No troubles falling asleep despite the 5 hour nap I took earlier!

Never had symptoms that were this intense with previous two miscarriages so hopefully this one will stick!! Fingers crossed. :)

We got pregnant in Sept after having mirena removed in July. I miscarried completely at 6 weeks, it was my first pregnancy. November I was convinced I was pregnant, my boobs grew, I was cramping, creamy cm-just about every symptom but I started AF 9dpo.
Then for Dec my husband went to the field for 3 weeks so I thought we were out - BUT he ended up being a driver and got to come back in every few days for a few hrs. And we took advantage! I started temping this month so I knew when I o'd. We bd'ed 4 days before, the day of and the day after. At 7dpo I got a huge dip, below cover line. At 9dpo I was at the gym and got nauseated on the elliptical and I was so tired I could hardly finish my workout. So I went and got some $ store test and tested mid afternoon with a BFP!! A very clear BFP, not a faint one! Took 2 more test the next morning w/ fmu and both positive as :D
My symptoms so far are morning (all day) sickness, constipation and a few cramps by my right hip. I was 3w4d when I got a +. We are so excited!

I finally get to tell my story. I am 33 yrs old and dh is 37. I had a miscarriage on Nov 2011 and started ttc in Feb 2012. My cycles are very irregular after my miscarriage it ranges fr 30 - 45 days. From Feb to May, I used the ovulation calendar and then from June to Aug I used the OKt and finally from Sept to Oct I used the Clear Blue digital Ovulation monitor which was recommended by one of my friend. Guess what after 2 cycles I got my bfp!

Cycle day 27 got (+) with clear blue monitor, did the deed with olive oil recommended by my doctor to help with the lubrication.
Cycle day 28 is Ovulation day, also did the deed again this time no olive oil.

Dpo 1 to dpo 8 - nothing
Dpo 9 - was at a family wedding and got super emotional and couldn't stop crying
Dpo 10 to dpo 13 - sore bbs & napped a lot
Dpo 14 - af due but never came
Dpo 14 to dpo 22 - sore bb, took frequent naps & still no af
Dpo 20 - took hpt and got bfn but I swear I saw the 2nd line but it was super duper faint. Thought I was going nuts.
Dpo 22 - at 50 days of my cycle I woke up at 10 pm to pee and then 2 am. Decided my luck on another hpt test at 4 am and I finally got my bfp.

Woke up the hubby he was half asleep but I told him the great news. Of course I have to thank the lord for giving me another chance.

Good luck ladies and it's especially hard when all the women around u are getting pregnant or popping out babies like nothing. But don't give up!

I'm pregnant at last! Had a miscarriage at 10 weeks in August 2010 and have been ttc since Jan 2011....

So the BFP came 4 days before my period was due.

7 days before period due I had spotting while I was photographing a wedding (my job!) Not as heavy as a period and only lasted that day
Boobs really sore
Nipples seemed larger and squishy! (TMI!)
Increased vaginal discharge (not a large amount but not dry as usual at this time of month!)
A sense that I 'knew'
Tired...

BFP 1ST Cycle After Laparoscopy With Severe Endometriosis

My story is of great chance but I believe it will bring hope to someone... I have been with my husband for 9 yrs. Trying for a baby for 6, miscarried 3 before 3 months of pregnancy. It took 2 yrs to diagnose endometriosis, I get crippling pains around o and af, endo blanketed one ovary, stuck the other twisted onto my womb and I have a mass filling up my 'pouch of douglas'. I was ovulating but the egg was lucky to get anywhere and when it did my womb could not grow with the pregnancy because it was restricted in a web of endo. I had a laparoscopy to remove the endo around my womb and ovaries and a blue dye test to check my tubes (they were clear). After I was on antibiotics for 2 weeks and told to take it easy. We didn't plan on trying for 6 weeks or so. I was due af 1 day after my op. We bd a few times without the pressure of 'trying' and i thought nothing of it... Symptoms were metal mouth, very tired and peeing lots (thought it was the antibiotics) when af never came.... BFP 2 weeks later! I had no sickness and feared loosing baby all the way through the pregnancy.
That was last year, I now have a beautiful 1yr old whose a treasure to us. My endo disappeared in pregnancy but has since returned with a vengance...but the pain is worth it. I've been told I may need surgery if I want to try for another but I'm happy with what I have. The staff at the hospital that did my operations also delivered my baby. I took pregnancy vitamins all the way through and my church prayed for us every week and she was 2 weeks overdue... 9lb 6oz!
I had an emergency c section as I had pre eclampsia. We both survived!

It happens when you least expect...
