Hey, so my fiance and I have been ttc for 11 months, he's 37 I'm 23. We're both very healthy, active, great shape, eat right, regular cycles, so it was surprising to both of us that we were struggling with conceiving.
I decided to stop temping this cycle, because every month I found myself obsessing over the temps and when we had intercourse and the possibilities, etc. I don't know exactly when I ovulated. Well, not on paper. But I'm almost 100% sure I know the day we conceived. We had a great little morning session right before going out to our favorite sushi place, and I had this weird bubbling feeling on the car ride over in my lower abdomen just under my bellybutton that I've never felt before. It's hard to describe.. I don't know how else to describe it except it felt like my body was just drinking everything in very strongly, and kind of felt like bubbling. I was so happy and enjoying the day, felt very close and in love with my fiance, we were laughing and talking, bonding, both in a happy care-free mood. Not a worry in the world. (I guess it was really good sex haha)
Then 3 days later, I'm going pee (sorry tmi) and when I finish I hear something else fall into the toilet, and look and a drop of blood was floating in there. It's WAY early for my period, almost 2 weeks too early, and I'm not a spotter. So I think OMG. And I spotted like a tiny little drop every morning for about 2 weeks. Still no period. So I buy a dollar store test, pee on it, one line shows up automatically. So I threw it out thinking it was negative (I thought when one line shows up, that's the only one that's showing up. so I didn't wait 3 minutes)
20 or so minutes later, I use the bathroom again, and glance down in the garbage can, and see 2 strong lines on the test. I'm like, could this be real???????? Immediately ran out and got a first response 3 pack. BFP all around. Saw the doctor, and saw my tiny little angel on the ultrasound!!!
The only other symptom I had before the BFP was extreme fatigue. I don't just mean I was tired, I would pretty much pass out from exhaustion when coming home from work, and I'm not and never have been a napper. I normally am unable to fall asleep during the daytime.
We are so beyond excited!! I wish all you women all the luck in the world, I would suggest taking a break on the temping, and obsessing and reading into all the symptoms (trust me, I know it's not easy) and just enjoy your man and your relationship.
