BFP @ 10 DPO...WOW!!!
After only 2 months of trying we did it! I am still in shock and I keep looking at the test to make sure it's real. I took one this morning at 10 am and again at 4 pm and the one from the afternoon is slightly darker than the one from this morning. I wanted to make sure it wasn't a faulty one lol! Many of my symptoms I had were very similar to other months, except my boobs didn't hurt as badly. I still had cramping, this time a bit more intense...especially the last couple of days. The fatigue hit pretty badly by about 2-3 dpo and again today. My acne also got really bad...more than even around AF time. That kind of gave me a clue since I haven't had it this badly in a really long time.
My cervix was high and soft right after ovulation, which hasn't happened before. I already feel like I have gained 20 lbs, but that just may be from the insatiable hunger I have had for the past week. Crazy! I can't believe I can eat like that!
What we did differently this month was:

Used OPK's
Preseed
Softcups by Instead
Vitex

Good luck to you ladies in getting your BFP's! I am crossing my fingers for you!

We're Having #2
After disappiontment, after disappointment, today I got the result that i have been longing to see again.

We've been TTC for just under five months and all we got was disappointment. I got really concerned after I had some VERY bad menstrual cramps that prompted me to see my OB/GYN.

We decided to start a plan of action which included a hysterosonogram ( a toned down version of an HSG), then do a post-coital mucous test and have progesterone levels drawn.

After having the hysterosonogram I was VERY encouraged that this was going to be our cycle. I felt "cleaned out". When we got a thumbs up on the post coital test I really thought that we were going to see it this month.

Tuesday, November 11th, I got a phone call from my OBs nurse regarding my progesterone levels. It was 7.4. Every ounce of encouragement that I had prior to this phone call was stomped down and I was beginning to dread starting a new cycle.

When I woke up the next morning, I was surprised by a still very high temp and absolutely NO signs of AF. Thursday, November 13th, was my estimated AF day.

This morning, when I woke up, no signs of AF, my temps were still high, and I just thought I would take a test for fun. When I got up to use the bathroom, I immediately felt dizzy, and I had a VERY good feeling. With second morning urine, I took the test and up came a BFP!!

I couldn't have asked for a better day. I'm looking forward to telling my husband this evening!!

1st cycle post m/c
2 days after my birthday in September, I lost my bean at 6w4d. Devastated, I was told to wait 3 cycles before TTC again by the ER Doctor. I felt good emotionally and we kind of got lost in the heat of the moment. We bd two days before ovulation this cycle; and I finished on top! I totally thought there was no way that I could conceive given that.

My most convincing symptom had to be my lower back ache. I never have lower back ache during the 2ww unless I'm pregnant. That and my temp has been sky high for me (98.5 or higher) and I'm usually hovering right around 97.

We have been TTC our 4th blessing since our third was 6 months old. He'll be 4 in November. Hang in there girls, and don't sweat the small stuff. Relax and just have good old fashioned 'relations'. Worked twice in a row for us!

Almost Successful
I can't call my story successful until I have this baby in my arms. I've had 3 miscarriages in the last 12 months, so I am scared to death. But here I am, 3w2d pregnant, with a positive test in my hand! I still can't believe it!

Hopeful!
I used FRER digital gold and got a positive (it displays a "yes +") at 9 dpo. I had one chemical pregnancy in March, and so I am hopeful that this one sticks! Good luck to all.
