DF and I have been TTC for about a year now. Every month it's the same thing. I get every pregnancy symptom in the book and convince myself I'm pregnant only to get countless BFNs and eventually AF always shows her ugly face. It's been really heartbreaking trying so hard month after month only to realize it may not ever be in the stars for us.
This month I was sure to not get my hopes up. DF and I BD'd very frequently (as we do every other month). One night I slept with a pillow under my butt because I was that desperate to find something, anything, that may help. I also started taking vitamin d3 everyday which is supposed to be extremely good for fertility.
When AF didn't show up CD 28, I wasn't too concerned as I frequently have irregular cycles. 26 days one month, 34 the next, etc. I waited until CD 33 to take my first test with first morning urine. Another BFN. I was certain I was out. I was feeling like AF was just around the corner and I was just ready to get it over with and move on to the next month! But AF never came, I spotted a few days but it was very dark almost brown, and only tinged in CM... Never fresh blood. DF and I decided it was time today (CD 41) to re-test. This afternoon I took the test and less than 1 minute later a BFP- clear as day!
The month has been almost symptom-less. Except for this past week, in which my BBs have grown incredibly tender, and BIG! Had period like cramps all week. Even got the heating pad out one night cramps got so bad. Also, had a hard time getting out of bed in the morning. Just couldn't get enough sleep ever! Took naps during the day a few times and had really vivid dreams (one about getting bfp). Looking back this week, I even cried at dinner one night because I missed my mom.
Still have trouble believing its true! Can't wait start this incredible journey into motherhood!
