After three long years of trying for our first one me and my DH had almost lost hope...I had severe PCOD and had very irregular periods. Even now I had the last one in Dec 2013 and conceived in Mar 2014 hence unable to track the exact time I ovulated and my due date.
Below were my most persistent symptoms which made me believe I should be pregnant inspite of not having periods

Heavy breasts and sore nipples
Feeling hungry most of time
cramps
Had brown spotting too in between which I thought would be periods
Heightened sense of smell
Feeling tired but still unable to sleep peacefully at night

After couple of very faint lines I managed to get a better BFP. I guess its too early..however would like to give this wonderful gift to my DH on our wedding anniversary tomorrow :-)

Ok I have an 18 month old - had a MC at just over 5 weeks with low hcg and low progesterone in Feb (prog a 2, hcg 13).

This will be the start to our 9th month of trying.

Now I have just found out that I am pregnant Friday Apr 4 which was 11dpo via three faint positives and a blood draw with hcg levels measuring a 4.9... So I immediately started my 100mg of prometrium right away.

Today is Sunday, and it's the fourth day I've been spotting (brown sticky) on and off all day. Minimal cramping and lots of pressure. As far as I see it as long as there's no red blood I am ok!

I took another test today 14 dpo / 2nd day of missed period (or 13, may be one day off) still a faint positive. I am driving myself mad bc I am so extremely scared this baby won't stick and it'll be another chemical pregnancy.

Has anyone had a similar experience with a successful outcome?!

I'm so EXCITED but I'm still cautious and cannot seem to enjoy.

Thanks ladies! Baby dust! :)

So I took levonelle 24 hours after condom split about 20 days ago. I had very light spotting (dark brown) 6 days after. I'm now 7 days late, have had 3 clear positive tests 4 days ago and now negative with different tests including digital which I've never been positive with. I have a few symptoms which could be linked to pregnancy from what I've read. Experiencing mild cramping on and off and keep thinking I have started my period (heavy feeling) but not an ounce of blood just discharge - feel quite damp down there (sorry). Does this mean I'm not pregnant now? My partner and I have decided it was obviously meant to be when I got the positive test and want to keep the baby and are actually excited! I am now terrified that I have lost it. Please help :( will the morning after pill affect the baby if I am pregnant? Thank you for your comments in advance

We got married and January and I really expected it to take quite awhile to conceive (i'm 33 & DH 39).
My cycles are between 28 - 31 days but sometimes I can have up to 7 days of spotting before AF... I was sure something was wrong!
I've been charting for two months and we had no luck the first cycle. Still worried about the spotting I had my hormone levels checked this month. Day 3 was all good and day 21 also detected a 'strong ovulation'.

I have treated this month like a military operation (my poor husband!)
I took VB6, evening primrose until O & we used pressed and OPKs.

I think the VB6 worked as my cycle lengthened and I didn't ovulate until the 17th... last month it was the 14th (not sure about before that as it'd never taken any notice).

1-5 DPO - Nothing
6-7 DPO - Very sleepy and mega grumpy for no reason (other than I was sure it wouldn't work) and some light cramping which was weird for this time of the month.
8 DPO - Small amount of very light brown/yellowy CM after exercise. (Not unusual for me)
9 DPO - (BFP day) Light brown spotting which is exactly the day and type from last month so i was sure we were out. I don't really know why I bothered testing in the afternoon, probably because of those unusual days 6-7. Initially the test looked like nothing but i put it in front of me at my desk and looked at it again in about 10mins and saw the tiniest of faintest of lines. I was absolutely shocked and swore to myself!
10 DPO - Brown spotting was worse but test line comes up slightly more with FMU (still very faint).
11 DPO - Light brown spotting. Cramps on and off all day. Tummy feels really tight. Possible heartburn. Retched when brushing teeth.
12 DPO - Gush of brown cm about 10.30am. Light Cramps. Still positive and getting darker.
I only felt confident enough to tell DH this morning... I didn't want to get his hopes up as the test was still too light until now. He was stoked!
I sort of enjoyed having a delicious secret for a couple of days (weird ay).
13 DPO - Very light brown spotting. Backache begins
14 DPO - Spotting is gone but Backache in full force.
15 DPO - Nothing so far but I go in for my second BETA level today.

Being pregnant for the first time is lovely but fraught with worry!
I am obsessed with googling all the bad things that could happen and can't quite let myself get excited yet.
I mean to stop temping but this morning it was nice and high and it made me feel a lot better.
When I get the blood results and know they are climbing up correctly then I think I won't be so worried.
My husband it being so cute and protective and is going to wrap me and baby in cotton wool for the next 9 months. He will be an amazing dad!
I can't wait to tell my mum she has wanted to be a grandma forever!!

Hey everyone! I promised myself I would submit my two week wait once I got my BFP, after reading thousands of them over the past few months. I am 26 and my husband is 30. This is baby #3. Started taking Prenatal vitamins and Vitamin B Super Complex the month beforehand.

Ovulation day - EWCM, lower pain in abdomen, feels sore
1dpo - EWCM, some body aches.
2dpo - Tired, a few cramps, slightly bloated and slightly nauseous.
3dpo - Tired, Moody, Tender BB's.
4dpo - Nothing much just a little sleepy.
5dpo - Gassy, tired and some bloating.
6dpo - Bad painful cramp at 4am that woke me up, only lasted a few minutes. Tired & moody the rest of the day.
7dpo - Runny nose feel like a cold is coming and super moody.
8dpo - Metallic taste in mouth all day, gassy, moody, tender BB's and slightly nauseous. Still a little stuffy nose.
9dpo - Gassy, feel like I'm getting a yeast infection (itchy down there) MOODY & irritable, some cramps.
10dpo- BFN with FMU, started spotting brown at noon. Thought AF was coming since I always spot a day or two before. Twinges on left side of uterus, pulling behind belly button. Moody & weepy. Tender BB's. Bright red blood at 9pm just while wiping and after a BM.
11dpo - Surprised I didn't wake up to bright red blood! Brown spotting all day not enough to even wear a panty liner. Bright red blood at night time again but only when wiping.
12dpo - Still spotting brown but basically only when wiping now. Cramps at night, nauseous. Another round of bright red blood at night-only when wiping, what the heck!
13dpo - Metallic taste in mouth. Moody. Still spotting brown but not enough to even wear a panty liner.
14dpo - No more spotting, no more red blood, what is going on!! Dry throat, runny nose & sneezing. BB's feel heavy but not sore. Moody & tired. Just feel "different".
15dpo - BFP with FMU FRER!!!!!!!!!! The line was super dark so I probably could have tested a few days earlier. Tired and heavy BB's.
16dpo - Another BFP!!!!!!!!! Tired, Tired, Tired!

My tell tale signs should have been the gassy-ness and the extreme moodiness! My period usually spots for 1 or 2 days and then goes into full blown super heavy bleeding for the following 5 days. So it had to of been implantation bleeding. You don't hear about IB going on for 4 days very often and going from brown to bright red. Good luck to all!!!

I have stalked this site for months, so I feel obligated to share my success story. I am 32 years old, husband is 33. We have a 3 year old son and have been trying to conceive since the summer of 2013 when I had Mirena removed. I got a positive HPT in September 2013, that ended in a missed miscarriage at 11 weeks. I then had a chemical pregnancy in December 2013. We have been somewhat trying since January and today I finally got my BFP! I am hoping and praying this one sticks! About the only thing we did was use Preseed, we BD'ed at night and I stayed lying down, didn't get up for entire evening each time, and I take a prenatal vitamin. I have fairly regular 28 day cycles, my period is usually 3-4 days and fairly light. Here are the details -
CD1 -3 period
CD4 - already cramping like O pains
CD5 - Breakout on chest and back EWCM BD before going to bed, stayed in bed all night
CD6 - Noticeable amount of wetness/cm BD before going to bed, stayed in bed all night
CD7 - bad diarrhea, dizzy, areolas are huge and dark, veins visible in breasts
CD8 - BD in PM, breasts/areolas still huge, CM creamy
CD9 - Diarrhea and nausea in am, exhausted, moody
CD11,12 - BD both nights, EWCM no need for preseed, felt sick - nausea, cramping, lots of pooping both days
CD15 - woke up with huge zit between mouth and nose, BD in PM, stayed lying down again for entire night
CD16 - Nipples very sore/tender, bad headache in afternoon/evening, BD again in PM stayed in bed all night
CD18 - Sharp twinge of brief pain on my left side at 6:45am
CD19 - BD
CD20 - Dizzy several times throughout the day, bloody cm when checking cervix in the evening, stuffy nose
CD21 - Peeing a lot in the morning, super moody and snapped at my husband in the afternoon, slight nausea and heightened sense of smell, legs/hips/boobs very veiny, still bloody CM when checking, nothing coming out on panties though.
CD22 - woke up at 4:30am with period like cramping, EWCM, diarrhea and headache. Realized boobs are not sore at all, normally they are after o, nipples/areolas are dark and large. Runny/stuffy nose, cramping throughout the day, still having bloody cm only when checking
CD24 - CM is now brown (old blood) when checking
CD26 - Heightened sense of smell, almost threw up on train due to smell, increased appetite, little clumps of brown/almost black cm when wiping
CD27 - BFP!!! at 6am with FMU almost immediately, used a FRER

I hope this helps others waiting. I thought it was strange when I started spotting on CD 20, I'm guessing it was implantation or breakthrough bleeding. Best of luck and baby dust to everyone!

Hi all

I got my BFP yesterday after 6 months. Faint line but clearly visible (FRER) and then took a second HPT today which came back with a much stronger line (FMU with FRER)

CD 14 EW CM
CD 15 BD (would have on CD 14 but hubby and I were in different cities!) not much CM and thought we'd missed the boat this month. Now I suspect I ovulated on this day.
CD 16 BD
CD 24 (DPO 9) tiny streak of pink when I wiped
CD 25 nothing
CD 26 (DPO 11) spotting, very light - though AF was coming (due day 27). Tired, thirsty, hot and a bit cramping...typical AF signs. Boobs a bit veiny but still breastfeeding my 1 yr old twice a day so nothing new there.
CD 27 (DPO 12) more spotting - not getting any heavier...start to wonder if I'm pregnant as I had exactly the same symptoms with my 1st baby (spotting before AF due)
CD 28 (DPO 13)...yesterday - was going to wait til the following day for the official 2 weeks wait but couldn't resist. Low and behold - BFP!!
Today (CD 29) still spotting but it's brown rather than pink now and still only when I wipe. The BFP was stronger today :) praying for a sticky one!
Good luck ladies! I spotted throughout pg 1 and baby was fine. Trying not to worry about spotting this time, but easier said than done!!

I just got my BFP today after two days of BFN. This month we started using preseed and I didn't symptom spot as much as previous months. Did chart my temperature quite religiously! Also used dual hormone ovulation tests which worked quite well, although I did test twice a day and get different results. Normal cycle 26-29 days. Normally get spotting 2-3 days before AF so hope this one sticks!

Symptoms below:

No symptoms cd 1-11
Ovulation cd 12

1dpo nothing
2dpo very bloated
3dpo minor backache
4dpo creamy cm
5dpo creamy cm. big temp drop??
6dpo creamy cm
7dpo nothing
8dpo nothing
9dpo cramps all day 9am-11pm across whole stomach/uterus area poking pains. A lot of creamy cm
10dpo nothing. Small temp drop??
11dpo brown spotting. Turns to watery pink only when I wipe a couple of times. Back to brown mucous spotting only when wipe. Woke up in night to wee and very dizzy. Emotional. Cried in the shower! Convinced AF was on her way. BFN
12dpo spotting continues brown only when I wipe. BFN
13dpo faint faint faint line on internet cheapy. FRER about 7 hours later faint but very clear positive line.

Will test again tomorrow but so far so good!!

My husband and I had been trying to conceive for roughly 14 months. We tried everything from ovulation kits, to charting and herbal pills to try and help us get pregnant. Nothing was working and we were both exhausted from all the months of disappointments. Finally after a year we went and saw a infertility expert in January 2014. We had tests done and my husband was very fertile and I was indeed ovualting. Well after 2 months of seeing her she prescribed me clomid 50MG for day 5-9 of my cycle. I took these March 26-March 30. I did experince any kind of side effects and didn't think the first cycle would work. Well I started to feel nasuea and could barely eat. I then went on April 11th for my 21 day progesterone test and my levels were a 21 which i thought nothing of. On Saturday April 19th I woke up from a nap to dark brown spotting and figured might as well test. So i went bought 2 tests and came home expecting them to be negative like the last 20. To my surprise I got two pink lines within seconds!! I about cried when I saw. The next day I tested again to be sure and sure enough it was positive again. I just went today April 21st to the doctor and they confirmed I am pregnant!! Dont give up hope ladies it will happen when you least expect it!!

I was very surprised when I knew I was preg...here's my story.

What's different this month?
- Boobs start hurting the second day after hcg trigger
- it usually hurts few days before AF

9 dpo - bfn
- i gave up this cycle totally as all other symptoms were same as previous months except my boobs hurt very early on.
12 dpo - spotting (very light, only few spots)
- i was depressed and cried; no hopes at all
13 dpo - no blood at all
- i m curious as usually AF will hit full force the next day after spotting
- i decided to call the doctor for an appt as I was off that day
- the nurse asked me if i took a pregnancy test; i said yes and it came back negative
- went to the dr's office and did a blood test
14 dpo - spotting again...few big spot this time and that was it
- called the dr's office to make an appointment for my next cycle
- the nurse was asking if I'm sure AF arrived as my blood test came back positive...
- i cried and asked the nurse if that was the correct record
15 dpo - no spotting and hcg test shows i m definitely pregnant

I read a lot online and couldn't believe implantation will happen to me as this is my third pregnancy. The first two pregnancy were totally normal...and lo and behold...my baby #3 will be due in June.

Ok so let me start by saying how over the moon excited I am! I had so many early symptoms and I'd love to share...

I have a 28 day regular cycle I ovulated on around the 9-12th not sure when but I'm pretty sure on the 12th when after intercourse I spotted a little pink.

1dpo- very sore boobs, started getting pimples in my chin area (never get pimples)
2dpo- same symptoms VERY emotional
3dpo- same symptoms, have weird pain in my right armpit
4dpo- nipples started hurting very bad and peeing nonstop
5dpo-9dpo- still sore boobs and now after intercourse spotting pinkish red only when I wipe and it goes away after about an hour or two, bad leg cramps
10dpo- weird food cravings, extra emotional... Start crying for absolutely no reason, still very sore boobs(can now see veins in boobs and all over my body, very pronounced), still have pimples, leg cramps, very wet creamy CM. I just can feel I am pregnant.
11dpo- I can't wait any longer I got two dollar tree pregnancy tests and they both were positive around 1030am!!! So happy!! I feel so blessed, thank you God!

Good luck to everyone ttc, BABY DUST to you all!!!<3<3:)

I can hardly believe it's finally happened. I wanted to wait to write until I felt everything was ok. These stories gave me so much hope before my BFP so I wanted to share mine. I definitely thought I was out this month because we couldn't BD once I had the Opk positive due to scheduling issues. Thus, we had only bd'd two days prior to ovulation.

This is where it gets interesting -- In previous cycles I felt what I thought could be pregnancy symptoms about week after ovulation (tired, sore boobs, bloating, issues with smell). We've been using Opks since December. However, this month I didn't have any symptoms at all. On a random Saturday I realized I was 11 days DPO so I decided "what the heck" and busted out a FRER test out of habit. Who doesn't like POAS? In about 1 minute I saw a very faint line. I left the bathroom and told the hubster that I needed to tell him something because I can't keep things from him. He looked very concerned. I said it's nothing bad and as soon as he sat down I told him he was going to be a father. He actually had tears and hugged me so tight. I thought I was going to plan a surprise way when it happened, but I couldn't hold in for even five minutes.

I tested with FRER for the next 3 days. Each day the test line was approx. double as dark, so I figured that my HcG was doubling correctly. On dpo 14 the two lines were the same color. I tested again a week later and the test line was super dark and the control line was super light. I freaked out. However, I learned that when you have a ton of HcG, then the color from the test line is "pulled" from the control line.

My symptoms really began at dp0 14 with SUPER SORE BOOBS. By dpo 17 I realized that was EXHAUSTED. And a few day later the fun with nausea set in. Which has been getting continually worse. My boobs have already grown over a cup size. How is this possible!?!?

Also, for all of you that didn't see EWCM. I didn't see any around the time that we BD'd. In fact, what I had sampled look as if it might even be hostile. Don't think your out until the witch comes! We all have a shot. :) Baby dust and sticky beans to everyone!

Okay so here is a run down of my symptoms. This in my fourth baby. My husband and I have been ttc for one cycle now.

April 16 ovulation. normal ovulation pain.

1,2,3 DPO no symptoms

Since April 29th fatigued like never before. I never was this tired in my other pregnancies. Hungrier than ever. Very Very emotional. Feels like my heart is beating faster, Especially when lying down. EWCM has picked up alot also. Still having vivid dreams.

Got my bfp!!! But just confused as to when I ovulated. Here's some info:
My period has been a regular 31 day cycle. Starts on the 11th every month and lasts 7 days. I started jotting down anything and everything after my dream on cd 15. So I'll start now (:

CD 15: Most fertile going by period calendar. I looked down and I was nine months prego. I have never had a dream of feeling so pregnant and actually waking up to knowing the feeling.. I have ovary cramps and feel kind of nauseous and overly tired. Food tastes disgusting.

CD 16: Still have mild cramping on and off. Veerrrryy moody & irritable. Dizzy. Wierd dull headache. Not too much of an ache but still there. I feel like I've started a cold today. Stuffy nose. Can feel it in my nose and throat a little bit. Very tired. Feel just 'different'. Starting to get very hungry. Like a bottomless stomach. Tingly feeling all over body. Upper thighs kept cramping at work (slightly). Food tastes so good. ALSO I got home and around my nipples were darker and perky. They're usually not perky when warm. Almost cried at work when bf came in to show me his new tattoo. Cold went away.. Mild yellow cm. back was burning when I went to bed.

CD 17:
Woke up really tired. Nipples are still perky & dark. I just feel 'different'. Coffee tastes funky today (never does I always enjoy a cup in the morning. Vivid nightmare had to do with work. Woke up feeling like I had to throw up but just passed out. It was very strange. Restless legs and fast heart beat when I woke up. No leg cramps tho. Mild yellow cm. sharp twinge of pain on left hip? Stuffy nose.Feeling sorta sick.. Keep thinking bf is on the verge of being done with me, which now I don't understand why I was even thinking that. Feeling bad for myself. Cried again cause mom said something insulting. What's wrong with me. Feels like pms. I do believe around 1-5, I had just a smidgen of blood on underwear but really not sure.

CD 18:
Vivid dream (nightmare about work in the morning) Woke up feeling a little sick and the beginning of work. Maybe cuz I started with coffee & no food?? Almost threw up, gagged.Nipples still darker and always perky. ALWAYS. that's very unusual for me had a good amount of energy for work. Worked all day came home to a lot of white chunky cm in panties. Craving scrambled eggs right now.. Still feeling like bf doesn't want me. Someone asked me today if I was pregnant. He asked twice. I've never randomly been asked that?? What do I look fat? Lol Omg........ I really am either tricking myself or something's up. It could be + or - . Scared to know. Minor stuffy nose. Leg cramps but possibly from working so hard. Seems to rattle in my thighs the most. Came home bloated even tho I ate early in the morning. One nostril totally stuffed while other one is fine. Don't know if it's just from pigging out at dinner but I feel tons of things bubbles and such in ovaries. Prob my digestive system?? Tingling throughout legs. Left hip dull pain.

CD 19: Freaked out at work yelled at my boss!! Freaked out on my bf and he didn't know why.Seriously I'm feeling wacky at this point. Going to Reno (randomly) to visit family. Decisions decisions. Bubble crampy feeling in right ovary. Cramps. Hurts when dogs stepped on ovaries while sitting on couch. Was walking and it feels like I started af. Was only very wet white/see through cum. Had sex with bf that night. To Reno I go...

CD20:
Mild heartburn little twinges yellow cum(possibly from having sex) sex yesterday was weird felt like my vagina was deeper than normal? Waves of nausea today. Sick in car(from looking at phone)? But feeling sick at 10? Stomaches digesting fast. Very warm head.

CD21: arrived in Reno and just wanted to sleep.

CD 22: kept getting a worried feeling that I was pregnant. Didn't want to do anything really just kind of depressed.

CD23: wanted to drink a lot of corona & lime today.. Just relaxed and still didn't want to go anywhere.

CD24-25-
Woke up with minor sore throat and stuffy nose. Very tired all day. Threw up (cold medicine nothing in stomach?) got a bloody nose right nostril while throwing up. Back hurts. Not sure if it's from laying all day. Feel minor tugs and pulls down there. Very fast heart beat(from medicine?) not sure.... Hot head and hands. Ugh achey legs. Just ate artichoke dip and felt nauseous along with hot flash? It had jalapeño in it. Still fast heart rate. Pretty much all day. As for sleeping at night, I was tossing and turning both nights. Thought It was from cold medicine I took before. I never take cold medicine so don't really know how body reacts. Back was burning both these nights made me wake up.

CD26: nothing really just very tired lazy with cold.

CD27: yeast infection started. Burning itchy and just very uncomfortable..

CD 28: got back from Reno and has sex with bf that night. Too uncomfortable. Had light pink discharge after but went away just like that.

CD29: nothing

CD30: had sex and bled light pink again!!!

PERIOD DAY: BFP!!!!!!! Boobs started hurting.
the next day: Took another test very early. Faint line again! Feeling super hungry wanna make food. Stomach burns makes me a little sick. Cramps all day with spotting.

2 days after BFP: Nipples sensitive to touch. Cramping here and there. Slight brown spotting during morning. None later.

When was ovulation and was my cervix just veerry sensitive to sex or was that implantation bleeding?

Sorry for such a long post but I would LOVE to know when I ovulated and what you ladies think. And if some of you had any similar symptoms. Hope this helps some of you too! (:

I'm 12 dpo as of today! I took a ept as well as two pregnancy strips. All came back with faint positives thank god ! But then maybe a hour or two later I've been spotting brown blood mixed with my cm. Period is supposed to be due in two days (praying it doesn't come !) has anyone else had this experience? I had cramping yesterday but not really today ! Praying for sticky baby dust to all you lovely ladies :)

So I have long hoped to be writing my own BFP story down. I have read and been inspired by many over the months of trying, so I hope this inspires you too!

This was my first cycle using an OPK and it worked well. We BD'd on Easter and the next morning I had my first positive on the OPK. We did it again that evening and the next day. (I used preseed at least one of those times) That was on CD 14 and 15 (usual cycles are 28-31 days long.) On CD 22 I had a few drops of bright red blood when wiping, but other than that I had no symptoms. On CD 24 (Derby day) I woke up and decided to use my last Clear Blue digital with FMU. I kept telling myself that it was way too early to tell, but I decided that if it was negative it was probably too early, and if it was positive... fantastic! It took a while to come back, but eventually it did and said "PREGNANT". I of course, ran in to tell my hubby. I didn't notice any symptoms that day except extreme nausea after taking my multivitamin, but that happens often when I don't eat enough.

That night, I woke up (wide awake) at around 5 am, sweating. My hubby said I was a fireball all night long! Throughout the day Sunday I had heat flashes, and I took another Clear Blue digital (this time that indicated the weeks gestation) at around 2:00 having not had anything to drink for about 2 hours. It was again, pregnant 1-2 weeks.

Sunday night I continued my now daily trend of a 5 am wake up call. Each morning having to pee. Sometimes I can't tell if I'm nauseous or just super hungry in the am, so I was eating crackers for the first few mornings just in case.

I have had a few stomach aches since that day, drinking a lot of water due to the heat flashes (and the fact that it's been almost 90 each day this week.) Sometimes it feels like I'm cramping from the water (during walks) but that's unusual for me. Also, I love walking, I do it often and lately I've been struggling to walk as far as usual... very fatigued.

My boobs have become very sore over the last few days as well. These are my biggest symptoms.

Yesterday morning I had a fright because I started spotting (about 2 bright red drops of blood, twice when wiping) and I feared I was losing it. (Backstory, in February I got a faint positive on CD 29 and CD 30 using the PT where you have to analyze the darkness of the line and then spotted on CD30, 31 and all out period on CD32. This has been making me feel more nervous.)

I've been taking almost daily PTs but I've used different ones and I think that makes it harder (I'm much more at ease seeing "pregnant" than seeing a line and analyzing if it's lighter than it was yesterday.) Today I stopped into my OBGYN to have my blood drawn (this is not standard but I asked for it and they appeased me.) I won't get those results back until tomorrow though.

Sore boobs today, positive pregnancy test on HCG dipstick, and no spotting so I'm feeling fairly confident we get to keep this one!

No one is promised tomorrow, so my hubby and I have chosen to delight in each and every day that I get to call myself host to our littlest one!

Hey Everyone

I guess I wanted to write my story because during my most recent 2WW it seemed impossible to find any stories of people having Proestrogen supplements to help get pregnant.
This is my Third Pregnancy (2 missed carriages beforehand) and I have now been trying for 7 months since my last miscarriage to get pregnant. Before the last miscarriage I had found it easy to get pregnant but this time round it took me ALOT longer!
My main problem seems that my periods became very short (around 25 days) and I spot several days before which I always thought must have meant that the egg if fertilised might not implant in time. I decided to see a private specialist and he automatically put me on proestrogen pills which I had to take for 10 days after a ovulated... well first time round using them and I've finally got a BFP!
I haven't had too many symptoms, which made me believe I wasn't pregnant and I thought maybe the pills had just delayed my period etc but I was wrong! I really do think that using proestrogen pills can increase your chances if like me you have short period and suffer from spotting.
Below are my symptoms:
OD - didn't see my bf until about 12 hours after I ovulated so im still surprised that I got pregnant!
Days 1-5 post O - not many symptoms at all, just usually cramps and nipples feel a little sore
Day 6 post O - pretty bad cramps, really bad back ache, a lot of discharge and what I noticed most was feeling VERY tired!
Day 7 post O -Saw the smallest spot of blood, hungry and tired all day long, feeling nauseous,
Day 8 post O - Felt sick and dizzy all day, my nipples are starting to get tender, still got cramps
Day 9 post O - Boobs felt tingly and weird, heavy nausea and more discharge
Day 10 post O - I could smell everything which made me feel very sick all day, nipples still sore, more discharge.
Day 11 post O - a lot of discharge now, nipples are sore especially when wearing a bra, backache is back, still very nauseous
Day 12 Post O - Suddenly feel like I have a cold, very sore throat, had stabbing pains in uterus, felt dizzy + nauseous all day
Day 13 - 15 post O - very bad back, sore throat, cramps, nauseous, nipples very sore!
Day 16 - I had a tiny amount of pink/brown spotting today, plus all symptoms above

I didn't test until today (21 days post Ovulation) as like I said I didn't think I was pregnant as my usual first sign is swollen breasts (which is till don't have). My symptoms always seemed worst at night aswell... the sore nipples/tender breasts, bad back, and feeling nauseous were always worst then.

PLEASE don't be afraid to try out new supplements etc to get pregnant, I was VERY reluctant at first to try proestrogen pills (everywhere talks about cream) but I really do believe this is what helped me get pregnant this month after several months of no luck!

Good luck to you all! :)

Wow!!!! What seems like a very long journey and finally I get to share my story!!! Had an HSG test this month to see why periods were so painful and also why we were having trouble conceiving.... One week after HSG I ovulated. On 8,9,10 and 11DPO I experienced spotting. Very light and mostly only visible when wiping after going pee. On 11DPO spotting totally stopped so I decided to test (even tho AF wasn't due for another 7days) and my cheapie dollar store test showed a VERY faint line!!!!!! Ran to the store to buy a CB difital and 3mins later it said pregnant 1-2weeks! I am on cloud 9! Going for bloodwork confirmation tomrow!!! Baby dusk to all!!!

I'm five weeks and 4 days! I have irregular period so I figured it would be difficult for me to time my ovulation but I succeeded on my first months try (without a ovulation kit) I actually went off of my cervical mucus! I checked it everyday after my last period ended and about 20 days after my last period I noticed what seemed to be clear stretchy fertile cm! So I'm sure you can guess what happened after that (; we only tried 2 times! And I didn't know when to test so I waited until what I think was 17dpo (yesterday) to take a test and BOoM clear and darker than ever 2 lines on the stick not once not twice but THREE TIMES! Btw I have NO nausea, but my nipples are very sore and painful headaches, no food cravings..but I am hungry quite often. My very first indication was sore breast and light period spotting (implantation I'm guessing) and LOTS of fertile like cm but cloudy mixed in with white lotion like cm! I'm happy for all the bfps and baby dust to the ones trying for bfp. You'll get there (:

Ok so this is long so I apologize but I felt that I needed to be a little more specific.

A lil back ground ttc for 8 cycles for #1. I'm 27 and Dh is 33 So I am mainly sharing my story because I was never able to find enough info about monthly spotting 7 days before my period every single month for the last 2 years! It was so frustrating because every doc I went to told me it was normal! Well I honestly never believed that. I also had a bad case of appendicitis 13 years ago and my mother never stopped putting it in my head that the docs said I would have scarring. So because I was spotting and having horrible menstural cramps plus the appendicitis I decided that I wanted to be proactive and investigate further.

We started with my investigated cycle blood work and ultrasounds and everything looked good except that after my first blood work up they had noticed higher then normal prolactin levels tmi but I always thought it was a bit weird that sometimes I had a small white dried mucus in my nipples. I thought it was like dry skin. Well apprently if your prolatic levels are high it can affect you from ovulating. After only being on the med for 3 weeks my levels normaled out and I ovulated on cd 17.

On CD 10 I went in for an Hsg test. Let me just say it was very uncomfortable but well worth it obviously because I was able to find out that I had opened tubes and no scarring. I was so relieved so hubby and I decided last min during ovulation week to relax and go on vaca.

Well on vaca 5 days after HSG hubby and I were bding and a gush of liquidy pink fluid came out and freaked us both out! Turns out it was left over dye from the test and hubby must of some how put pressure and made it come out. Gross. After that I spotted pink cm for a week! I thought I had an infection but wasn't sure to take the antibiotics just in case there was a lil bean.

On 7 dpo I started spotting....as usual but this one was different. It looked like implantation because my heart started racing when I saw it. It looked like day one period. Red mixed with mucus on tp. I called the doc office and asked about a possible infection but the nurse said no I would of got one only a couple days post Hsg not two weeks. She said it sounded like implantion for the timing. I got off the phone crying because I was mad she put that in my head to get my hopes up. I said to myself noooo way it's just my reg pre period spotting.

On 11 dpo I had no more spotting didn't think anything

12 dpo I was off work lying down bored and all I could think about was how I thought I was preg. I had a feeling of a dull pressure but not cramps. So mid day I peed on an internet cheapy. Nothing so I got in the shower....got out and looked once more and saw the faitest of line I could only see it when I held it up to the light. I was still in denial.

Decided to hold my pee a couple hours and took two more one internet cheap and a clear blue -/+ the internet cheapy did the same thing and the clear blue came up + instantly. So I rushed to the drug store to buy a clear blue digital. Pregnant 1-2 weeks Showed hubby and he didn't believe it.

14 dpo no spotting no period no symptoms. Poas fmu and it was still so faint. I went for blood work and they called me same day and it's BFP hcg level at 77. Approx 4 weeks.

So for you chronic spotters out there don't give up hope. I am also convinced the Hsg did some spring cleaning ;) Baby dust to you all! Xo
