I had a chemical pregnancy last month. It was the first month hubby and I had tried for our second baby, and I think the egg had trouble implanting. This month I took baby Aspirin starting at ovulation and also took extra Vitamin B, in addition to my prenatal vitamins. I really think the Aspirin made the difference! I took it the month I got preggo with my first baby but never knew until now how much it mattered. I plan to keep taking it unless my OB says to stop.
Because I had a chemical last month, I don't know when I ovulated. I had ov cramps 3/5 but I'm not sure if those come before or after ovulation. Hubby and I BD'd 2/28, 3/1, 3/2, 3/3, 3/4, and 3/6.
I tested 3/13 and 3/14 and got BFNs both times. Got my BFP today 3/17. Much stronger than last month and came up right away! Soooo excited!
Here were my symptoms:
-7ish-9ish dpo? Nausea. It came and went and was very much like last month.
-Somewhere between 2-8 dpo - sleepiness!!! Fell asleep early two nights in a row.
-One night I had insomnia. NEVER happens to me!
-Horrible nerve pain in my arm one night, woke me up, thought I was dying.
-Definitely peeing more! Peeing ALL THE TIME.
-One night I had a headache.
-VERY emotional. MUCH more than last month when I had my chemical. Raging, sobbing.... Kind of insane!
-Toward end of TWW I started getting very, very, very thirsty.
-Cravings.
-Fuller boobs, with more blue veins and occasional stinging pains.
-More frequent hunger pains than usual.
-Occasional mild cramping, but unlike chemical last month, NO spotting with the cramps!
-Occasional backache.
-Cervix closed.
-Pinkish CM after sex, probably due to taking baby Aspirin. Also saw some gel-like goop after sex... not my norm!
-Things felt tighter down there during sex, and hubby noticed this.
-MUCH FULLER BOOBS were my most consistent sign, the only thing that kept me going. My boobs are porn star boobs. I am usually a small B cup. You can't explain that with PMS!
-Having spotting one day followed by three days w/o spotting was also a big sign.
-Contacts started getting dry around 7 p.m. each night and I had to change to glasses, just like when I was preggo w/ my son. Normally I sleep in my contacts.
-Occasional hot flashes.
-Really strong orgasms.
-Vagina lips look slightly blue. My great-grandmother, born in 1912, told me this was a sign in her time, and the only other time I had this was when preggo w/ my son!
-Tummy poking out a bit! Feel like I will show pretty soon this time.
Good luck to everyone! Lots of baby dust and prayers for happy pregnancies!
