I told myself I would post in here once I conceived but I never thought I was going to have to wait 10 months to do so.

We started not preventing last April. Thought I was pregnant EVERY month! When we had gotten to about the 6 month mark I started temping and then doing OPKs. Found that my timing was a few days off in regards to the day of ovulation so I was hopeful we would concieve right away. Still nothing!! We then started to use Preseed as well. We tried it all for about 2-3 cycles.

The month I conceived I actually forgot I was approaching ovulation. I hated when people would talk about relaxing and crap. It didn't work for us so i wasn't purposely trying to forget. I was preparing for a vacation, did some
House projects, quit googling everything, and took a hiatus from all blogs. We did everything like the previous months and make sure to time things as best as we could. We didn't even use pressed for the two days prior to ovulation.

I continued to exercise, drink coffee, eat sugar etc. Unlike other months where I had sworn all of that away.

I had all of my normal pre period symptoms including sore boobs, skin break outs, tired off and on, and back aches occasionally. At 11 dpo I started spotting and even told my husband we were out again this month. So, we confirmed plans for me to meet with my primary doctor after our trip to get check out. The spotting stopped about a day later and never returned. I took a dollar store test the morning my period was due and I was a standard positive! So, I took an FRER too. It was also obviously positive.

I woke up my husband immediately and we are still in disbelief.

I had a few cramps during the spotting time up until 14 dpo but they have disappeared. The only thing that remains is sore boobs and I ALWAYS have to pee.

Moral of the story is. It can take longer than you anticipate to concieve. Try not to let it run your life.

Don't listen to the people who just say relax, it will happen. That didn't work for us and I was always very hurt when people would try to tell me that.

Lastly, it's not over till it's over. I thought for sure I was getting my period but, it just never came. Instead I got two pink lines :)

This has been the hardest trial my husband and I have been through. Unless you have struggled to concieve you can't understand how it feels. I want you all to know that I have been there and that there is hope.

I'm happy to finally be able to share my story. Last summer I had an early miscarriage and it was so devastating. It threw me into a depressed state of mind that lingered for months.
I was hyper vigilant every mth after that, hoping for a BFP again. It never came.
This month, I had really given up. I had just started to think it wouldn't happen. On 10dpo, 11dpo and 12dpo I had dark spotting. I figured it was my period but when AF didn't show up on 14DPO I took an HPT. It was BPF!

Here were my symptoms:
8DPO, dizzy spell while making dinner
9DPO, sad & weepy! Super sensitive!
10DPO dark colored spotting, light
11DPO headache, medium dark spotting.
12DPO dark spotting, a little bit. When in bed that morning rolled onto tummy and felt a hard round thing in my lower abdomen... It was weird and hard to describe.
13DPO waiting for AF, cleaning frenzy - is it spring cleaning time or what?! (Unusual). Sensitive down there! What's going on?!
14DPO no AF!! Better take a test. Yay it's a bfp! I didn't think I was pregnant at all!

Hi all!
I promised I'd write when I get my bfp so here it is. I hope it gives you hope.
My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 3 years! My GP said if we try for 6 months with no result, she'd send us to the fertility clinic because I have diagnosed endometriosis. My period was wonky and really long after getting off the Pill after 7 years of being on it. We went to the fertility clinic for the first time on November 11, 2011. I was 31 years old. The dr said i probably wasn't ovulating. We tried 3 rounds of clomid first. Then 2 IUIs in the summer of 2012. Then we waited to do the 3rd. We did it on March 17th 2013. They also put me on progesterone because my luteal phase was very short (about 10 days give or take). We took a break from the fertility clinic, bought a hundred year old house downtown and rented out our house in the suburbs. I walk to work and enjoy the laid back vibe of our artsy downtown neighborhood. But all that couldn't fill the void of no children. So we returned to the fertility clinic for a follow up appointment on December 28th 2013. The doctor said with our history, there was a less than 1% chance of us to conceive naturally each month. She also needed me to repeat 2 tests: the egg count via transvaginal ultrasound and the day 3 blood test. We also registered for the ivf information session in March (the earliest we could get in).
Around the time I should ovulate, I had my ultrasound. I didn't plan it that way, it just happened. I told DH that maybe I'm crazy, but I feel like it shook my egg free earlier so maybe we'll have a better chance for a sticky egg this month. We BDd like crazy every second day before the ultrasound and after. About 4 days later, I felt a stabbing pain in the evening and again in the morning. Either ovulation or implantation. So we kept BDing.
A few days later, I started spotting: pink water color at first, then pink, then 2 days of brown. I've had this many times before: early spotting before my period. I was waiting for my period to become full blown. But it stopped. When I woke up the next day, I peed in my urine sample dish as I've done many times before. Often at this point, there'd be blood in it and no point in testing, so I didn't even get my test out. But no blood so I tested. I continued getting ready for work, occasionally looking over. I was shocked to see a line starting to form! It was very faint, but there! I dropped to my knees first thing and thanked God as I had imagined doing for years. Then I woke DH up and told him the good news.
I went to the dr right away and she did a urine test: negative. She said my home kit was probably more sensitive (weird). So she sent me for a blood test: positive. Since I am a stress case, she's sending me for a series of blood tests to make sure the hcg is doubling. I also requested to be on prometrium for 2 reasons: the fertility clinic had me on it and because I went to a naturopath who said, " if you do find out you're pregnant, you need to get on progesterone as soon as possible!"
Did I mention I've tried everything? Gluten free, no caffeine, eating pineapple, DHEA, fish oil, chiropractor, naturopath and acupuncture!!! Nothing. Two things that I did for fertility and kept up because I liked their result was trying to keep my body more alkaline by doing things like drinking lemon water in the morning, taking vitex on an empty stomach in the morning and B6.
I am 10 weeks pregnant now and I've seen the baby's heart beat and going for my next ultrasound next week.
My advice: keep hope and keep living your life.

I really didn't think I was pregnant, was so sure my period was coming due to what I thought was pmt but more extreme! My cycles are regular, 28-29 days, no idea when I ovulated but from around cycle day 18 I noticed the mood swings which were a lot worse than usual, I just figured I was having a bad month, my partner was terrified at my behaviour as he had not seen this before, the crying and irritability was particularly bad, just before my period was due it got even worse. Other symptoms I experienced from cycle day 18 was increased urination, dizziness, one small brown spot on cycle day 28 from an implantation bleed I guess and a mild flu like feeling that night I thought I was coming down with a cold, still felt a bit off next day and my period hadn't started so I decided to test and was shocked to see two lines, I was so sure my period was coming due to the mood swings I was so irritable! Came as a shock but my partner and I are so happy about it.

Hi Ladies,

Me - 32. DH - 28.

BFP with TTC for Baby #2

I have been stalking this sight since I started TTC on October 2013. Every time I would test and get a BFN I would get soooo upset. It was heart breaking. My story starts like this. I have super irregular periods and when they do come they come they can last 4 days to 2 weeks, cycles would be 28-55 days long. I have had the tests and my docs say nothing is wrong just possible annovulation. I was on BC my entire life just so I could get a reg period but then stopped taking them to TTC for my daughter (she is 2 now). I guess there is no such thing as normal cycle these days anyway. Also, I don't do OPK's and I didn't temp or anything. I just followed the My Days app, making sure I always entered my period start and end date. This past cycle it said O days were Feb. 16-21. So to be sure DH and I BD'd every other day the whole month. I was a bit lazy this cycle with tracking symptoms cause my daughter and I were battling terrible cases of the flu. One thing that stood out for sure were these:

- CD 14-30 - boobs were not sore at all, but nipples were sensitive - normally if I am PMS'ing boobs are sore right away
- CD 20-30 major cramping on left side
- CD 25-30 - TIRED! but chalked this up to the flu and being up with my DD who was sick too
- CD 26 - beginning of spotting, pink and brownish colour - normal for me as I spot before AF
- CD 27 - was sure I was out when a little tiny red blob showed up on toilet paper
- CD 27 - sick as a dog with chest cold - feel like garbage
- CD 27 - CD 30 - feeling out of breath, like I have run a marathon - very odd for me - thought it was the chest cold
- CD 31 - nausea in AM and before bed
- NO AF so tested 5pm yesterday with FRER BFP - not as dark as I would like but still there
- Tested again this morning with second FRER and FMU - much darker line

Still spotting brown stuff - kind of worrying me a little though as I never had this DD pregnancy.

Any thoughts?

Thanks :)

So, I had my period a week and a half to 2 weeks ago. However, a few days ago, I started feeling the symptoms that I usually feel right before my period, except slightly different. Im feeling extremely nauseous ive had a headache for the past 3 days, im bleeding, but its barely anything, however I looked up implantation bleeding and thats usually a light pink or brown, and mine looks like dark brownish red regular ol' period blood. Except that it comes in random little spots throughout the day, for the past 2 days. Ive been feeling dizzy and lightheaded, and I hardly drank anything yesterday but i peed constantly throughout the day. All of these things are early pregnancy signs, but then again, I also get the same signs right before my period. except that I just had my period, and based on my birth control pack (which I have been taking) I have 2 more weeks till my period. So Im thinking Im pregnant, except that the bleeding seems off, and all of this could possibly be from taking my birth control at the wrong time (which I have done) right? Or am I pregnant? Any opinions?

Last year I got a BFP in April after TTC for 15 cycles. I had been through some fertility testing but nothing definitive was found. I was thrilled to be pregnant, but I had problems early on. Three bleeding episodes....with bright red blood. Each time I had an ultrasound, and the baby was fine. Then at 16 weeks, 5 days, my water broke fully. I had to deliver. I can't say that there was absolutely no warning. The day before I had felt a lot of watery wetness that was probably amniotic fluid. I thought it was just crazy pregnancy discharge. Then two nights before I got a huge charlie horse cramp in my uterus that didn't let up for about 10 minutes. Again, I thought it was just normal pregnancy stretching...but looking back, it was probably a signal that something was wrong.

It took 7 weeks for my period to return. For the first two cycles I was eager to conceive again. I did temping, supplements (prenatal, vitex, iron, and bee propolis) and tried to time it well. Nothing. I lost steam early on. Then in December I moved....so I really had my attention turned elsewhere.

In January I tried to follow my cycle closely...although I wasn't temping. AF came just as she always does....25 days like clockwork! This month I wasn't trying as much. I always try to BD around my fertile days (CD8 - CD11) though.

The very first sign I got that something might be off is that at around CD18 or so, I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst taste in my mouth. It was like metallic and stale and the same time. I ended up getting up in the middle of the night to brush my teeth and then eat Starburst (backwards, I know!) so that I could get the taste out. My boobs felt heavy....but not sore. I get mild physical PMS, so I didn't think anything of it. However, I also get pre-menstrual cramping (mainly in my back) and that never came.

On the day AF was expected, I still was not cramping (however, I had AF cramps with my PPROM pregnancy). However in the morning I went to wipe, and saw pink spotting. Ok, well I guess she's coming. I put on a pad, and waited. However half a day went by, and nothing was getting on the pad. When I wiped, I was getting tan spotting and one little red blod clot came out. Strange. It was going to be a weird period it seemed!

I decided to switch to a pantyliner (wearing a dry pad is super uncomfortable), but kept checking because my flow is heavy when it first starts. Nothing. The next day...nothing. Although I did get lotiony CM the next morning and some pulling sensations in my tummy.....I just KNEW AF was coming now! 48 hours after the spotting, everything had calmed down (no discharge, no PMS gas and bloating, no pulling sensations).

Yesterday I decided to take a pregnancy test....just to make sure I didn't miss my period due to stress or something. A BFP popped up in less than a minute! I'm not super surprised....because my periods are so standard, this was weird, so I figured something was up. But I was shocked that I still spotted for AF right on time. Last time, I got no blood at all....just cramps. Just goes to show you how every pregnancy is different I guess!

I can hardly believe I'm writing this!! Twoweekwait has been my go-to for the past 13 months. It has both kept me sane AND contributed to my TTC distress at times too! I will start by sharing a bit of my background. DH and I (both 30) have been TTC since February 2013. I thought I was one of the lucky ones, getting my first BFP after 1 cycle of trying. Unfortunately, that pregnancy ended in MC at 9 weeks. I was devastated, but got the okay to try again. By July, I had another BFP, but sadly it was a chemical pregnancy, with bleeding starting at 5 weeks.

Fast forward a few months and I was beginning to get frustrated. By September, I had gone to see my doctor - concerned about not being able to maintain a pregnancy. Also, My usual spotting had gone from starting at 13-15 dpo to starting at 5-7 dpo and it would last right through until AF. I had a fairly regular 30 day cycle otherwise. My doctor was not concerned about the spotting and all tests came back normal. He referred me to an OBGYN only because I was in insistant and frustrated. In October, the OBGYN did a D&C hoping it would clean me out and reduce the spotting. It didn't. I tried everything from soy iso to vitex to B6. The spotting continued.

Fast forward to my February cycle. We BD'ed every day for 3 days before I ovulated. Normally, I ovulate from the left side, but this time I felt cramps on the right. I almost never have egg white CM, but this time I did. For some reason, I just felt pregnant. I just had a strong feeling I can't really explain.

My signs and symptoms breakdown:
O - 3 dpo: nothing
4 dpo - 6 dpo: cramping to lower abdomen on and off. Felt like uterus was "humming".
6 dpo - 8 dpo: nothing. Tested with internet cheapies. BFN. Duh. I should know better.
9 dpo: bright red bleeding with mucous and brownish clots. Enough to be considered a"light flow". I assumed AF had showed early and cried. I was devestated. Took a FRER with FMU and got another BFN. I told DH we were out and he was dissapointed. My bbt even dropped that morning. Looking back, I think this May have been implantation.
10 dpo - 13 dpo: the bleeding slowed and stopped by end of 10 dpo. Turned to brownish spotting. Enough to need a liner in my underwear. I was distracted with moving preparations.
14 dpo - 15 dpo: feeling extra tired, but assumed it was because we have been busy getting ready to move. Nausea at random times through the day and night.
16 dpo (today): decided to take a FRER with SMU after seeing a large amount of creamy CM on underwear and the second line showed up almost instantly - nice and dark!!

Things that were different this time:
- started taking CoEQ10 and OvaBoost.
- egg white CM before ovulation when I usually have none.
- "humming" feeling in uterus post ovulation.
- what I thought was AF lasted only a day and a half and was light, but bright red.
- no cramps with the bleeding (I always get horrible cramps).
- bleeding lasted 1 and a half days and turned to brownish spotting.
- I felt dizzy, nauseous and tired.

I'm going to the doctors today because of my history of MC's. FX my HCG levels are good and this little bean decides to stick around. DH is away working, but I will see him on the weekend and can't wait to share the good news! Good luck to all those TTC. Don't give up hope!!!

Got my BFP this morning!!!!!!!!! so happy and excited!! never thought I would be able to share my story on here.
Have been trying for a baby for 2 1/2 years. Don't ovulate on my own very often only like 8 months or 6 months etc. Have had 6 months worth of clomid, 1 failed IVF cycle and this was my second! swear by soy though for making me ovulate.

Well we only got 6 eggs, 5 fertilised, quality was 2 x 8 cell, 1 x 5 cell, 1 x 4 cell and 1 x 2 cell. We were disappointed as it wasn't far off our first round. We left them till day 5, where the 5 cell and only one of the 8 cells made it to blastocyst stage (one grade c and one a lower grade). We had both put back in, and this morning got my bfp! It can happen!! here are my symptoms x

1dp5dt - 7dp5dt nothing apart from bloated from the progesterone and still a little sore from collection, cried all week was sure it would be negative so much.

8dp5dt - light dull cramps like af was coming and some lower back ache, then when i wiped light brown spotting in the morning once and then once in the evening
9dp5dt - dull cramps, back ache again, thirsty, thirsty and still am so much, weird itchy nipple for a moment!, mouth ulcer - still thought i was out at this point, didn't want to test at all. Its only looking back you see the symptoms were there.
10dp5dt (today) BFP!!!! on all three tests, line came up strong straight away, bbt temp went up, small cramps this morning and thirsty, a couple of odd stabbing pains

Good luck on your journey, don't give up it will happen I never thought it would xx

I live for this site during my 2 week wait, so it's only fair I share.
I'm 31, so is my husband. With our first we fell pregnant the first month, our 2nd took 5 months and this little gem took 7.

I'm unable to give exact DPO as I'm sure I ovulated early this month.

On day 12 I noticed a lot of EWCM, more than past months. I also had bad ovulation pain. The following day I still had the pain, I would say I ovulated on day 13 or 14. I usually have a 33 day cycle where I ovulate on day 17/18.

We BD far less this month only on the day 12 and day 15 in past months we BD every 2nd day during O week.

1-4 DPO nothing
4-5 DPO I noticed a few twinges in my lower tummy. Lots of BM.
5-7 DPO I had a tiny, tiny amount of spotting, if I wasn't looking I would never have seen it. I didn't think much as it was such a small amount I questioned if I saw it at all.
8-9-10 DPO I started having bad hot flushes, they came and went all day. My boobs started to feel achy but not sore to poke, I just felt more aware of them. I also started having dizzy spells so bad I almost fell over and felt like I was going to faint, this and the hot flushes made me think something was up. I had a dream that I tested many times and got lots of BDP's. I had more trouble going to sleep but once asleep slept fine. Tested BFN.
10 or 11 DPO
BFP. Today everything felt far stronger, I was sick on and off, had less hot flushes but still was dizzy and very tired. My boobs started to really feel heavy and I had some cramping, more like random stabbing pains that period pain.

Im do glad it's happened and I can stop worrying something is wrong. The only thing different this month was we didn't BD as much and I had more CM.

Ok let try to make this as detailed as possible but not too long!

Me 36 DH 37 2daughters 7 and 11.

Been TTC since oct 2012

Bfp march 2013 natural m/c at 6 weeks. I nvr had an mc so I was shocked but I didn't cry I just moved on. Had absolutely no symptoms so I knew something was up anyway. Had brown spotting on Friday a little on sat then full on AF/MC on Sunday.

Bfp JULY 2013 still no symptoms. Saw a heartbeat at 7wks. At 10 wks saw a brown spot. Went In for u/s no heartbeat baby stopped developing at 7 so right After I saw the heartbeat. D&C completely 2 days later. still no crying b/c I knew there was nothing I could do plus I had no symptoms again so I kinda knew...D&C done sept 27th 2013.

Light bleeding after D&C. AF started 10/30/13. Bd'ed only 2x nov 10 and 12 b/c it was hubbies bday. Opk was nvr positive. Nov 14th hubby was at work was feeling horney pulled out the vibrator (I didn't use it internally I dnt like anything but the real deal in there lol) only used it on my clitoris and had a good time!!! Shhhh didn't tell hubby that part! Also heard when u orgasm ur cervix dips in the pool of Sperm that may be left in there... I think that's what did it for me!

Bfp Nov 2014 after first real AF since D&C.

Red spots 2 days later said to myself, " not again!" Put myself on baby asprin and changed OBGY. Also put myself on frolic acid. No more spotting.

Started feeling super constipated saw red in cm...here we go I think it's happening again...but it stopped.

Nausea set in at 6 weeks is this real? Saw heartbeat at 6wks5days dr said very strong heartbeat.

(Oh had an old prescription of zofran that I had previous obgyn write for me in case I needed it as I had been on zofran with my 2nd daughter. ) had zofran filled didn't tell current dr I filled a prescription he didnt write until my next app lol!! Was taking matters in my own hands.

At about 10 weeks ibecame afraid b/c at this time last pregnancy baby's was no longer viable so I went to dr without an app and demanded an ultrasound! They did it for me!! They said they wound much rather take 5 mins out of the day for an unscheduled appointment to hear a heartbeat rather than hv an expecting mom stress out and wait until her next dr app!!!! Oh I'm so glad I love my new dr!!!! Heartbeat heard!!!!

Went in again between appointments and heard the hb again!!

Tested for NT defects and all and 20 week ultrasound moved up to 18 weeks by the dr b/c they knew I was a worry worm and would rather do it sooner then later yeah!! All is well no deficiencies baby "Girl" yeah I prayed for a 3rd girl, is developing normally no concerns!!!!

Stopped baby asprin at 18 weeks stopped foli acid at 12 weeks.

Still vomitting here and there matter of fact vomited today at 20 weeks! But appetite is better!

Felt fetal movements since 12weeks i know that's early but it's my 3rd and I know fetal movements when I feel them... She's moving around now as I compose this.

Ok I think that's it! I was too afraid to post before because of my history!

Thanks everyone and baby dust! Feel free to post a comment or a question u will respond to all!!!

DH:30
Me: 28
Together for 12 years, married for 1. TTC our 1st baby!
Took Orthrocyclen for 10 years, stopped taking them in mid-November 2013. Started TTC in December 2013.
BFP: on 4th cycle
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My 1st cycle off BC pills, AF came right on time! 27 days! I did get pretty bad cramps but I knew that was coming. I got a positive OPK on CD-11. AF lasted 4 days.

My 2nd cycle was a little weird. I got pretty bad PMS and I started spotting (brown) 7 days before AF! 2nd cycle was also 27 days, with a positive OPK on CD-11. AF lasted 4 days.

My 3rd cycle was terrible! We attempted SMEP BUT… once again I started spotting, 8 days before AF was due. During those 8 days I had: horrible gas, I was crazy bloated (looked pregnant), breasts were throbbing with pain! (I could hardly stand it), my nipples hurt, I was nauseous, dizzy, tired, moody, and I cried over everything, I was convinced I was pregnant, so was DH. I took multiple HPT’s all BFN. AF came, making Cycle #3 a 25 day cycle. I was so confused, and worried. Why was I feeling like that?! AF lasted 3 days.

I picked up some info on this site. I came to terms with the fact that it may take a few months (maybe even a year) before my cycles start to make sense, that I might not even be ovulating at all. All these symptoms were just symptoms of coming off BC pills. My cycles are going to get weird, and AF may not even show up some months. It was going to be a long road. I needed to be okay with that, and I was.

Here is my journal entry for cycle #4: FYI: I didn’t take any OPKs this time around. We didn’t scheduled BD, we went in this month with a “Let’s just have fun” mentality but because of the OPKs I took the previous months I knew more or less. Although, I’m pretty sure I ovulated A LOT earlier than I anticipated. Clear Blue HPT indicated 2-3 weeks since ovulation, I was pretty surprised! Not to mention… we may have conceived on our 1 year wedding anniversary! March 1st! It kind of adds up!

CD-1 Normal flow. Pains on right side of pelvis.
CD-2 Lighter flow.
CD-3 Very light flow.
CD-4 Normal flow.
CD-5 BD
CD-7 BD
CD-09 BD
CD-10 Feeling a little nauseous, light headed but overall… good.
CD-11 BD. A lot of EWCM this morning. Breast’s a little sore, very little dull cramping on right side.
CD-12 BD. CM is wet. Pink spotting after BD. Breast’s kind of sore. A little cramping.
CD-13 A little pink in CM when I wiped. CM very wet.
CD-15 BD
CD-18 BD at midnight (spotting brown after BD). A little pink with CM after wiping this afternoon. Bloated, VERY gassy.
CD-19 Spotting brown when I wipe. Bloated and gassy. VERY gassy. AF coming soon? Convinced it’s over. Bought BB thermometer and pre-seed for next cycle.
CD-20 Spotting brown
CD-21 BD. Spotting brown
CD-22 Spotting pink bloated, a little gassy.
CD-23 BD. No spotting. Not feeling anything! Feeling great!
CD-24 No spotting. Some small (chunky) fleshy colored clots after peeing. Never had that before.
CD-25 No spotting. Feeling good! So close to AF? That’s weird, no symptoms.

I decided to test because I felt… nothing. I usually start to feel pretty awful around this time, so I tested using an Equate 1st response at 5:45 pm, expecting a BFN…. BFP, instantly! I couldn’t believe it; it was as dark as the control line!

Waited for DH to come home, he was super happy, we both cried. I was a little hesitant because it turned positive so fast, I thought… could it be a false positive? DH ran to the store to get a Clear Blue… BFP with a 2-3 week since ovulation indication, we cried again, LOL!

So I’m 3 weeks and 5 days, according to the 1st day of my last AF.
This morning, I woke up with a lot of gas, painful gas. My stomach feels full and tight (like I ate a big meal), I feel like I did a bunch of crunches last night (tummy feels sore), urine looks very cloudy, and I’m starting to get lower back aches, and achy legs, very sharp aches. I had a tiny bit of pink CM when I wiped this morning, very faint. That’s about it right now.

Just when you think it’s over… something beautiful happens, I just REALLY hoping it stays that way, praying for a sticky bean! Good luck to all of you!! Babydust, babydust, and more babydust! I hope this was helpful.

Im a 32yr old mom of 5. Youngest 5 mo. My lmp was 2/21 of 28 day cycle. My fertile days were between 3/4 to 3/9 ov 3/7. Had unprotected sex 3/3, 3/5, 3/6 and 3/8. I havent noticed early preg signs.. Around 3/9 very light headed. And cm off and on. I cant get warm and feel emotional, been going thru alot. 3/15 cramping in center abdoman. 3/18 felt nausaited. Kinda sleepy feeling. With pain under right arm with cm thick stretchy white. 3/19 cm to lesser degree clear thick small amountd. 3/20 white cm in am. Later on afternoon had yellow look, no infections, then few hours later pinkish spotting when wipe. Few more hours bright red on tp and then small clot in stool. Mild cramping. Ive never noticed any of these earlyer preg. Possibly early preg, chemical preg, implantation bleeding or af? Input please

I just got my BFP after 2.5 years of trying. DH and I tried for 1.5 years before finding out that he has MF, morphology issues. We did one unsuccessful IUI and then IVF with ICSI and PGD testing. I had 15 eggs retrieved, 7 made it to day 5 and 4 embryos remained after PGD testing. 2 embryos were grade A and did not pass genetic testing, they would have been the first ones chosen for transfer. I highly recommend PGD testing if you are over 35 and have more than one or 2 embryos to choose from. We had one embryo implanted for an FET cycle.
My 2 week wait symptoms are as follows:

• very thirsty, but probably more due to Estrogen and Progesterone support.
• zero breast tenderness. I think because I was a FET and not a fresh transfer.
• no symptoms up until 6dp5dt, then I had back ache, slight cramping. Nothing too intense but just aware of my back.
• Small amount of brown spotting/discharge on 6dp5dt. I always spot before my period so I was pretty sure I was out. But this spotting was much more watery and light brown in color, compared to my pre-menstrual spotting.
• Back ache again and more brown spotting on 8dp5dt. This is when I started to get hopeful. It definitely seemed different than my typical spotting, starting/stopping and less in amount and different in color.
• The night of 8dp5dt, I couldn't sleep and felt slightly crampy. I noticed pulling and twinges in my abdomen. It was very subtle, I thought it's probably gas. But I also knew that twinges/pulling is a symptom so I definitely paid attention.

The next day I had a blood test at my dr office in the am. They called in the afternoon, and said that they didn't have the results in yet! OMG! The nurse actually started the conversation off with "Unfortunately". Of course my stomach dropped. So DH and I went out to get a HPT. I test on a EPT digital and a generic test. Both came up quickly with a strong positive. Still waiting on the blood test tomorrow to find out levels.

I think I've read every google link mentioning spotting and implantation bleeding, since I've had such a long history of early spotting. The lesson I learned is if it is different than before, that is a good sign. Different timing, amount, texture, etc.

My husband had a vasectomy after our son was born as we were very young and had 2 babies under 13 months old. He had a reversal in April 2012. We tried for a year and no luck. Started getting hardcore after the year and got a semen analysis: 48 million total, 50% motility, 4% morphology. And then we tried everything, clomid, one IUI, meds for me, vitamins, Fertilaid, Countboost for hubby, I ate pineapple and took B6 for my spotting issues, etc. My RE suggested I might need a lap/hysteroscopy so I did one last July where he found one tube bent and the other full of debris. He said he wouldnt call it endo, but leftover scarring from a D&C I had to have after my son was born for retained placenta. I finally said God I give it all to you, there is nothing we can do on our own and tried to move on.

I stopped the clomid, prenatals, & deleted my fertility friend app. I won't say I didn't think about it or didn't hold out hope, and I still stalked the tww. I have hashimoto's disease (thyroid) also & take synthroid. This month I just knew something was going on because I spotted only once on 7ish dpo (implantation) and my boobs got sore as usual, then stopped. I always spot, like every time I wipe spot, at least 2-4 days before AF, all the way until she comes. I was dry as a bone down there and my boobs got sore again. After I gagged and almost threw up at the smell of hot dogs at my best friend's son's first birthday, I ran and got some dollar tree tests. I prayed and told God I trusted his master plan, and opened my eyes to a big fat BFP a day before I was supposed to start, at 7 pm at night! All that to say, GOD WORKS MIRACLES! Also, this cycle was super stressful as my husband's sweet Mamaw died on my birthday, and several friends & family had just found out they were expecting, which so many of you know, is so heartbreaking.

I think the symptom spotting can be a fun/obsessive way to pass the time, but what really gave me hope was stories like mine that beat the odds, so I pray it blesses someone and gives you something to hold onto on those hard TTC days.

For all my sisters who spot before their period and always think it means AF is just around the corner.... you are not out yet!
ME- 30 yrs old
DH- 31 yrs old
Cycle #3
I spot every single month about 5-7 days before my "real period" starts. When I saw a brown spot at about 8dpo, I thought "Great. Not only am I out this month, but AF is taunting me by coming early." The next day I had a couple more brown spots. Barely enough to get on my undies.
I've been doing so much research lately because I was concerned my progesterone might be low. I've read it can sometimes cause spotting early and possibly make your LP too short to get a good lining in place. So I started taking Vit B complex to lengthen it. If we missed this month, I planned to have my hormones checked anyway because I turn into a sleepy, weepy lunatic before my period. Just almost not even functional I'm so tired and blue. One time I had to actually leave work early because I fell asleep at my desk. Anyway, this morning I was so incredibly tired, I was planning to call my dr and make an appt for blood work. I'd had no spotting today so far. When I got home from work at lunch, I took a FRER on a whim. Immediately two lines popped up! I couldn't even get the cap back on the stick before there were two clear lines. I FREAKED out. I called my dr because I was nervous the spotting meant something might be wrong. They worked me in. The ultrasound showed healthy ovaries and a nice, thick lining. They did another urine test and I thought "Oh no, I peed on a stick less than an hour ago. This one definitely won't show up positive." But it did. It took longer, but it was definitely positive. They took blood to make sure my levels are normal, so I'll get those results tomorrow. The dr thinks it was IB, and because I've had no pain and the spots were dark brown, he said there's no reason to be concerned. I'm praying my way through this, but at least now I know that I can GET pregnant. If I lose it for some reason, I know God is in control, and we'll try again. For now, I'm just in shock and so hopeful!!
As for symptoms:
1-5 DPO Nothing
6-9 DPO strange bowel movements. Everything seemed to slow down. Like I couldn't empty completely. (sorry tmi) And tender, itchy nips.
Night of 8 DPO Vivid dreams. REALLY sad, emotional dreams where I woke up feeling utterly drained.
10 DPO Two BFPs! Still feeling backed up. And extra gassy.
Note: Used Conceive Plus at lubricant. A med I take tends to dry me out.
Baby dust to all! Don't count yourself out when you see that spot!

I am 5 days late and I have had spotting not enough to fill a pantyliner but I was checking my cervix and there is a lot of blood that is syrup type and is dark red. It will not gush out at all it stays there. I have not had to use more than 2 panty liners cuz it is always a dot of the blood. Has anyone else had this problem?

Just like all you ladies I've been stalking this site for the past 15months this site has truly helped me! I have pcos and it was very hard to get here! But it finally happened!!!!
Soo I am not 100percent sure when I ovulated due to my pcos but I had taken provera last cycle after 6months of no period I had the induced one and I can only assume that this is what jump started my ovulation so I think I ovulated on 3/15 my birthday! Yay! So Ill go from there here are my symptoms
3/15 ovulation
1dpo really bad right ovary pain hrts when I step
2dpo nothing
3dpo dizzy spells, nausea, nipples ache
4dpo hot flashes all through the night, bad cramping felt like AF, nipples really ache
5dpo nothing
6dpo spotting implantation bleeding?
7dpo a bit more spotting nipples really bad!
8dpo nausea, dizzy spells, BOOOOOBS!
9dpo same
10dpo BfaintP fmu, blood test done BFP! Yaaayy!!
I'm beyond ecstatic baby dust to all of you girls especially my pcos ladies as I know how hard it can be!

We have been trying for only a couple months. I think this was only our second or third cycle so I wasn't really expecting to see a BFP at all. I got a feeling I should just take a test for some reason. I first tested with a FRER about 10dpo and got the faintest of lines. I was really skeptical because I was spotting and had been spotting since right after ovulation, which is what I've done the last few cycles. I took another test (digital) and it was negative. So, I waited until the next morning and got 2 BFP, one being digital! I don't really think I have any symptoms. I might be a little more tired and a lot less hungry. My head hurts a lot but that's pretty common for me. I took another test today (2 days before my period is due) and the line is getting darker. I'm still spotting and I'm pretty sure I have a yeast infection. I am feeling more confident in the pregnancy the darker the line gets. My period still isn't due for another 2 days but the spotting is getting lighter. I do still feel like I could start at any time but I don't think I'm going to. :) So, if you get discouraged because you feel nothing or you feel like you are about to start AF, there's still hope!

We definitly did not expect it to happen this month for us, realizing that falling pregnant is not easy. We know this from watching my sister ttc, it took her 3 years. So I knew that when we made the concious decision to ttc, we knew that there was going to be chalenges. All I can say is that I am so grateful for this gift from god/the universe.

A little history, I'm 26 and Dh is 27. First month we had a cp flushed out on my 24th day of my cycle, second nothing and 3rd month was our suprise lucky month.

Here's our TWW;

March 14th and 15th 1-2DBO: positive opks for 2 days strait no symptoms

O day must have been 16th or 17th of march: Negative Opks both days. But a lot of watery, egg white cm.

1-6DPO: Constipation 100%,small cramps, I didn't think anything of it and brushed it off gas. Headaches on and off.

7DPO: This was when the symptoms started more, although I really didn't think anything of them, I sleeped for almost 11 hours, woke up with a headaches and minor cramps and I was quite tired I was still Constipated.

8DPO: Tired, boobs heavy and sore, Cm is creamy, still cramping, felt some pulling in my abdomen. Still Constipated

9DPO: Pulling in abdomen, could not sleep major major cramps and brown spotting, I usually get spotting right before af is due so I thought forsure I was out. Still Constipated.

10-11DPO: Woke up with a headache, right boob sore on the side, pulling in abdomen. Very tired, very vivid dreams but I usually get those anyways no sign of af. A lot of cramps down my left leg.

Today 12 or 13 DPO: Extremely vivid dreams last night, I could not sleep just to many dreams, woke up at 8 am took a cheap hpt It's was BFP. Dh and I were such in shock and couldn't believe the results, we decided to go get first response and a clearblue digital with how far along and still BFP with afternoon pee.

I just wanted to add that Dh and I started taking vitamins. Dh started a multi vitamin just about a month ago and well I've been taking prenatals for 2 months now. This month we used opks, That's the only difarence then the other months.

We are super happy, exited and in shock. I honestly thank the god/universe for this wonderful gift of love. We both cried for joy, I really wish all the women out there baby dust, a sticky bean and a healthy 9 month to all.
