Hi! So I got my bfp this morning, which puts due date December 23, so we will see if it is a Christmas Baby! We have been trying since October, shortly after we had our DD. Since then, cycles have been irregular and Pms symptoms all over the place. I used to be a 28 dayer like clockwork. Since October, my cycles were 54 days, 32 days, 31 days, 26 days, and now bfp! So in the past we were timing things, and had no luck. With dd it was first cycle success. So this month I got serious, I cut out ALL coffee, and all alcohol. From cycle day 1 to about day 14 I drank 2 cups of red raspberry leaf tea every day, at least. I also quit taking all supplements this cycle, like iron, folic acid, baby aspirin, and evening primrose oil. Just took prenatal vitamin. And prayed for it. I also used zestica, which is like Pre-Seed here in Canada, I made sure to be very excited before each BD. and I layed with legs up for 30 minutes each time. May all seem like overkill, but it worked first cycle trying it all. Here are my symptoms
CD 10- BD.
CD 13 - BD
CD 14 - BD. sex was super easy today, very excited, have a very hopeful feeling. EW Cm
CD 15- BD. sex was uncomfortable today, felt dry. Crampy. Sticky cm
CD 17 -BD. twice. Used zestica. EW cm
CD 18 - Went on vacation with dd to go see my parents, dh had to stay home. Figured I would take this opportunity to relax and try not to think about any of it. EW cm
CD 22- Creamy cm, tired, vivid dreams. Very stuffed up with clear mucous in nose. This was tell tale for me with dd, and as soon as this happened I had a hunch cause I had no other cold symptoms at all. Creamy cm
CD 23- Vivid dreams about being pregnant, felt a baby kick in the dream, just the same as with dd, tired, very stuffy. Thinking I'm preggo. Creamy cm
CD 26- Slight spotting. Think for sure I'm out cause I have been spotting before AF the last few cycles.
CD 27- Spotting continued, but still light. Supposed to have a doctors appointment tomorrow so figure I should test just in case. Faintest line ever on dollar store test. Use another, faintest of faint lines.
CD 28. - Today. Got up, and right when I was about to test I got a nosebleed. Probably haven't had one since the first couple weeks of my last pregnancy. Tested with fmu. Darker lines, on both dollar store and Internet cheapie. Still very very light spotting, assuming it was implantation, which I never had with dd. Hoping that it sticks, praying hard! Going to tell dh. Haha I put a dinner bun in the oven and I'm going to tell him I'm making him something special and to check the oven.
Trust your intuition, I knew with the stuffy nose and no cold that I had to be pregnant but talked myself out of it to not get my hopes up. If your gut tells you you are pregnant, you probably are.
