8	BFP after almost 1 year of trying!

Just got a BFP for my 4th child! We have been trying for almost a year (excluding two months having a surgery). I knew something was different because I had 2.5 days of bleeding when I ovulated, so I knew that an egg was on its way. I got a + OPK on Sunday but we only did the baby dance on the Friday night but used Pre-seed for the first time (looks like it worked!) Ok, so here is the stuff you actually want to hear, my symptoms!

3DPO-gassy and constipated
4DPO-bloated feeling, tired, gassy, and increase in cm
5DPO- tired, mild bouts of nausea that came and went, increased cm, feeling like I had a UTI but didn't
6DPO-mild cramping and heaviness in abdomen, backache, increased milky white cm
7DPO-nausea on and off, backache, bloated feeling, occasional cramping, sleeplessness, increased stretchy white cm
8DPO-achy legs, constipated, tingling breasts, exhausted, gassy, nausea

I had negative pregnancy tests from days 4-7DPO (internet dip strips) but got a very faint positive on 8DPO in the early evening. I had positive OPK tests for 7DPO and had a very dark positive on the OPK for 8DPO.
It sounds crazy but I could tell on the Monday following ovulation that I had conceived. I just felt pregnant from the get-go and the cramping was a big clue for me, as I know what pregnant feels like after having 4 of them!
Good Luck to all and don't ever give up, it can happen for you too!

4	I am living proof!

Ok, so like probably most of you guys, I stalked this site every month during the 2WW and it made me feel less crazy! I just got my BFP (officially via digital test) today, so I wanted to share what happened.....

We already have three children, but I was yearning for another, so we were just not NOT trying, you know? So, this month we did the bd on day 9, and I ovulated early, day 13. So, this is why my title is "I am living proof"....

Apprently sperm DOES live 4-5 days. I did the bd ONCE on day 9 and I o'd on day 13 or 14.

I had NO symptoms except for a weird WEIRD sore throat that lasted like 10 days! It was very strange. No other signs of a cold, just the sore throat. Weird!

I took tests on day 9 and 10 and it was the whitest of white BFNs. I mean NOTHING. On the morning of day 11, I took at FRER with FMU and it was a BFN, although when I tilted it here and there, I swore I saw something. So I came home after running errands and I looked at it again after FIVE hours. It was positive. I know you're not supposed to look at it, but I did. I had NEVER seen a FRER turn positive after being negative, ever. And I have taken MANY MANY MANY FRERS! This led me to take SEVEN more tests...all with the faintest of faint lines. So faint that I wouldn't even show dh because I knew he'd tell me I was crazy. The 8th test was a FRER digital taken about an hour ago and wa la! "Pregnant" it said.

So, during the 2ww, I was googling "sperm life" like crazy, and also "can a BFN at 10 dpo still turn out to be a BFP later on..." and all of that stuff. Guess what..IT CAN! Hang in there...yours is coming!

Due October 2010.
