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! :)
