I was told I may never even be able to get pregnant but God is good and after 2 years I got a BFP this morning. No fertility treatments either. It just happened. :) I am so beside myself after staring at sooooo many negative tests including YESTERDAYS test. Then today I figured meh what the heck might as well use up my tests....and BAM Pregnant!!

This is our second month of ttc. The first month we just timed intercourse after my assumptions of when you are supposed to ovulate. The second month, I started taking women's prenatal one a day vitamins with DHA, took tussin three times a day, five days before I suspected I would ovulate, and drank two cups of green tea each day of my cycle. I tested at 16 dpo, one day after expected period, and got a "PREGNANT" shown on the clearblue easy digital test I took. Tested again a couple hours late with an EPT, and another clearblue easy digital and got two more positives! Cannot believe it!!! Trying to come up with a special way to tell my husband! Now, I just have to make it through the next eight weeks or so, and I can tell everyone else! I'm soooooo happy!!!

We have been trying for a year and a half and finally was giving upon wasting so much energy and money on Ovulation and pg tests. I had one left and it was a week before I was late but I kept feeling shaky, hot, sore and sleepy so I figured I'd waste the last test and was SHOCKED when 2 faint lines showed up. 4 more tests and 1 week and a day later I'm Still pregnant!!!!

I am 34 and have two children from my 1st marriage. (10 and 4) I had really tough pregnancies and two c-sections. I have adenomyosis and endometriosis. I also had scar tissue from both of my c-sections that was so bad, I had to have surgery last year in May and the year before in August I had a D&C. The doctor told me and my new hubby (as of November 20th, 2011) that our time was very limited. The doctor has worked with us quite a bit and I've had to be on various hormones to shrink the scar tissue before he had performed the major surgery, etc... It has not been an easy ride. We tried in December and were unsuccesful. I was not ovluating right, my period was not coming and the Doctor gave me something to help my period come and a round of clomid to help me ovluate. 10 DPO, I had some signs that made me think I was pregnant, but got a BFN TWICE!!! I was bummed. At 12 DPO, I had more symptoms and wanted to wait until 14 DPO, but decided to try anyway. BAM! Just like that BFP!!! We are so excited!!!

Here are my signs that sent me stalking the internet;
6 DPO LOTS of cloudy and clumpy white cm; tinged pink one time, and then all day and night more CM. Cramping.

7 DPO More white and clumpy CM and crazy dreams, extreme exhaustion. Cramping.
8 DPO Backache, Cramping.
9 DPO Nausea, cramping, sore bbs, Woke up starving.
10 DPO Nausea, cramping, sore bbs, Woke up starving.
11 DPO No more nausea, no more cm, TONS of cramping... kept thinking AF was coming, sore bbs, emotional. Woke up starving.
12 DPO No more cramping, few stomach pains here and there, a little bit of pain in my pelvic area if moving too fast and when I sneezed. WOKE up STARVING!!! Finally gave in and tested at 3:30 and BFP!!! :))

We had been trying for five months, the stress (and fear) had JUST began to creep into both our heads right before we got the best news EVER. I'm finally pregnant! I know that some people try for years, that their journey is long, sad and frustrating because I've seen some of it. When we began, we were all ovulation tests, bbt, sex every other day, etc. We didn't consider that we had been stressing ourselves out a bit, but also, I didn't want to take a chance that we weren't doing all we could to begin our family. So, after much thought and talking with DH, we decided (after the second month of all that) to stop it all and just relax, try (TRY is the key word here, folks) to forget that we are trying to conceive. We went back to drinking coffee when we felt like it, having cocktails on weekends and just doing "it" when we felt it naturally. I can't deny that every 15th of the month (when I ovulate) I was trying to seduce the poor guy, but basically we just stopped worrying. This last month, the worrying and stressing ACTUALLY happened. This is when we got pregnant. I can't suggest this as a technique because it's different for everyone, but I just had this feeling way down inside that that's when it would happen for us.

So, I began to feel my boobs get really sore and sensitive... I was hopeful, but quiet about it. You ladies know how it is, you don't want to "jinx" it. :) So, once I started feeling heartburn, fatigue, gas and bloating, I knew I had to test. Yesterday, before a meeting, I ran into the drug store and got a pack of three FRERs and when I got back to the office, I peed on one and IMMEDIATELY got two lines. I was only 10 DPO at this point, mind you. I was shocked. I thought when I found out, I'd cry or something, but I was just stunned! I texted DH and told him to call me as soon as he could. He is taking this week-long class at the local college and was busy; when he called me back, I told him. I could hear his smile, I immediately felt that happiness we've been waiting for... the rest of the work day was nuts because I just couldn't stop thinking about it!

I say: relax... we put SO much stress on ourselves! GOOD LUCK to everyone trying!!!
