Im 34yo with two boys wanting a little girl. I started Clomid in April of 2011 after months of not ovulating. My cycles were on 25-26 days long before the Clomid. I had little side effects from taking the medicine and actually felt almost normal.. My previous cycles were painful when I "pretended" to ovulate, my CM was always overboard, my bb's would get the blue veins, red little veins, and milk would even come out.
This cycle, I got a positive on my OPK on CD 17 and 18 so we would BD every other day starting CD 17. My temperature didn't peak after that nor did I get cramping indicating I ovulated. I for sure thought I didn't ovulate. My CM didn't change either.
10 days after the first OPK Positive, I took a test and it is clear POSITIVE! I have no idea which day I ovulated but I think I am only 8dpo or 9dpo if that was the case.

I am so excited and I cannot believe it is real!

Here were my main symptoms the past week.
5dpo lots of cramping in my back and left side. Belly looks 4 months prego already.
6dpo, I swear I had a UTI. Cramping in my bladder after I would void and I would go alot.
7dpo, blood drops came on to the TP after I pee'd, making me think I had a bad infection. I think it was my implantation bleeding. UTI was negative.
8dpo, belly was huge and hard. BB's have leakage.
9dpo- woke up with a stuffy nose, headache, and horrible pain in my legs and feet. They were cramping. I took a test and it was a big plus!

Baby dust to all. This was the strangest cycle ever and I didn't have any of these symptoms before on previous pregnancies.

My husband and I started trying for a baby in December and got pregnant that first month. Unfortunately, I miscarried at 6 weeks. Took a cycle off to get my body back to normal and hoped for the best.

Since we got pregnant so fast the first time - I thought we'd do it again. But it didn't work that way. It was so distressing to go through each month and get negative, negative... i kept saying to myself what did I do wrong? What am I doing wrong? The hormones were raging and i was feeling more and more depressed. Every time a friend or family member would talk about their baby or being pregnant - I'd want to burst into tears.

Then I found this website and wow! So many of you were going through the same things I was and having those same emotions. It also forced me to recognize that the months of trying was NORMAL. It just made me feel so good to not be alone and to feel like there are other folks who understand.

Anyway - last night I had some blood tinged CM and I was so worried, was it my period coming early and another month of waiting and disappointment? Or implantation bleeding that took a while to show? Anxious night to say the least. But took a HPT this morning and hoped for the best but prepared for the worst.

BFP!!!!! Digital test and was a big YES!

Hopefully this pregnancy goes full term and we'll be ringing in the new year with a new baby!

My most prevalent symptoms was very thirsty,frequent urination, annoying little headaches that would come and go, also some cramping that felt different from my normal PMS cramps in the lower abdomen, I also had weird cramps up under my ribs, LOTS of bloating, and for the last couple of days - I just "felt pregnant". I also found myself with an incredible hankering for pickled beets!

So thanks you all for your terrific support and for just being a part of this community. Without you, I think I would have lost hope.

Good luck and baby dust!

We're so excited!
My hubby and I are pregnant on our 3rd cycle of trying :)
Today is CD 29, and I'm 11 DPO with my BFP. Here's what we did differently:

1. Used Preseed- this stuff is great
2. Charted my basal body temp- This was nice because I wasn't constantly worried that I didn't ovulate when I thought I did.

I really didn't have any symptoms until 9DPO (my birthday!) I was convinced that I was imagining things.

9 DPO- Weepy (cried about everything, everyone thought I was crazy since it was my birthday), TIRED! like I wanted to take a nap every hour and a half.
10 DPO- Woke up really sore, my legs, my hips, everything...I felt like I had been doing crunches in my sleep. Tender breasts (I thought this was bad before AF but this was something to be reckoned with) and then I just had a pulling sensation in my abdomen off and on all day. Also BBT chart Implantation dip, down by .3 degrees!
11 DPO- temps back up, higher than they have been. Took a test and immediately BFP on FRER 6 days sooner!

Good luck and baby dust to you all! Now, I'm hoping that everything goes problem free, and that on January 5th we will welcome a happy healthy baby :)

well long story short we tried for over 6 months, and after negative after negative, we gave up hope, so i got on prenatals bc i wanted my hair to grow out, and me and my hubby just continuously did what was natural but, we stopped trying so hard and just let it happen... well i took the test and one line popped up i was so devastated, that i didnt even realize that i didnt let it sit for the 3 minutes, so i went with my friends to a salon and my hubby called me he had went in the bathroom and noticed that there was an extra line ;) very faint.. you had to hold it in the light to see but it was there!!!! will be going to the doctor next week to confirm it and get everything set up.. thanks so much for everyones support and baby dust to you all god bless.
