Wow!!

I have been using this site since Oct 1 2009. I am 36 years old and just got married July 2009. We are trying for our first child together (my husband has a 9 yr old son)When I didn't get pregnant in Oct (ovulated Oct 15), I decided to try something different for Nov. I used Evening Primrose Oil from cycle day 1 (Oct 31 - yes Halloween!) until I ovulated on Nov 14. I stated using low dose asparin everyday (I have continued to do so). Note: I did not get my doctors ok for the asparin. I took matters into my own hands. I figured it was worth a shot.

In Oct, I realized I get Mittelshmerz so I felt really pregnant. I have been on the pill for about 20 years so I was still trying to figure out my body. I came off the pill after my wedding and have been religiously taking folic acid and prenatal vitamins since Aug 2009. We wanted to wait a couple of months before we actively started to try.

Overall, this site has given me a place to track the way my body feels. It has helped a lot during the 2 week wait time. I was told by my gyne that it would take 6 months to a year to conceive. I was hoping it wouldn't but I was prepared for it.

My husband and I feel so blessed and elated right now!! We had the blood test done today (Nov 29) to confirm the pregnancy and IT IS OFFICIAL!! YEAH!!! There were tears and laughter all at the same time! It truly is a beautiful moment to share with the person you love so much.

Baby Dust to you all.

23	God Did That Thang!!!

I finally got my BFP, after 8 months of trying. God is sooo Good!!! Everybody knows I love pecan pie, last week I was eating a piece and couldn't because it tasted funny too me. That was my most convincing symptom, my taste buds were completely off. I also had cramping and pinching in the lower part of my stomache. The strangest symptom, I had like popping, gas on my left side of my stomache, very strange. My cycle was different, I had the HSG procedure on Nov 5th, due to 3 miscarriages and one death. We also used Preseed on this cycle. I would say to any one who is still TTC, keep the faith, your blessing is on the way.

21	My shocking day of discovery :o)

I didn't have much hope for this month at all - only had sex twice and I wasn't even sure I had covered the day I ovulated. I was sure I was out, no way at all could I be pregnant! My nipples have been super sensitive and sore but I didn't think anything of it, I just assumed it was to do with my period coming. However, the night before yesterday I went to bed feeling a little crampy. I woke up feeling as if my period was actually coming right that second. Well, I kept checking and there was nothing there! This happened all day and I could have sworn she had arrived, but everytime I checked - nothing! I started getting suspicious about it and then out from nowhere, I just KNEW I was. I have no clue how, I just had this really strong gut feeling. Well I bought two tests this afternoon and originally I was going to do the test tomorrow morning. But, I couldn't wait and I rushed home to do it straight away. I left it expecting my usual result of negative.. and then picked it up and squealed. Positive!!! There was no doubt about that. I had had quite a bit to drink earlier, and had been back and forth weeing but it was still a pretty strong line! Now I am starting to realize why I have been so moody, tearful, tired and achy. I am absolutely over the moon, cannot believe it, totally in shock! My biggest symptom was definately the cramping. It's odd because about a week ago I got so upset and told my other half that it was so unfair that others could get pregnant and I couldn't - he told me not to worry at all and that it's going to happen really soon for us! Lo and behold, I'm with child! My best advice to all you lovely ladies out there is do not get yourself worked up into a state, just relax and take it easy. Fingers crossed for you all and millions of babydust! I hope my story has helped a little. Hoping you all get your beautiful BFP's - good luck! xxx

20	They aren't kidding when they say "When you least expect it"

So My story began technically 10/1/09. My Nana who I was very close with, passed away. In the wee hours of 10/5/09 the day of her funeral, my fiance and I TTC for the first time. We figured, what a beautiful thing to come from something so sad.

The month of Oct. was full of obsessing, feeling every twinge, cramp, pressing my boobs to see if they hurt, and going down the checklist of pregnancy symptoms, all the while getting BFN's starting at 8DPO until...a day after my missed period. I took one that morning and got a FAINT BFP! Wow! Went straight for bloodwork and the next day, I woke up to bright red blood (mind you, I had a LOT of cramping the day before...I thought this was "normal".) My bloodwork turned out a Low Level Positive. Three days of clotting and bright red blood later, it all ended. Not a period in my book. on 10/27 I took another bloodtest to be told "no."

I started November with a cold/virus/cough and completely put pregnancy thoughts out of my head. I felt my ovulation kick in right on time and I tried not to monitor any feelings. In fact I noted to myself that I hadn't felt much this month.

What I DID note was...a few harsh headaches, aching hips/legs/back, a cough (post nasal drip) that wouldn't quit, a low temp (99.x) which I found out at the dr's for the cough, I broke out horribly on different places on my face, I was moody and irritable, I had a cold sore come and go within a week and then I got what I thought was oral thrush (from the antibiotic)...all this I thought was because of that silly virus.

On 11/18 my next period was due. Since I ovulated on time I thought for sure I'd be right on schedule. Nothing. No spotting, nothing. (OH I did actually notice the VERY slightest spot of brown blood on my panties on 11/14 -- SO small I thought it was a stain lol...I didn't have anything when I wiped -- small as in the size of one of these letters.) When I STILL did not get my period on 11/20, I decided to use the last of the POAS that I had shoved in my drawer.

At 2:40 am on 11/20 I woke up to coughing (Surprise) and decided I'd give it a whirl knowing that would kickstart my period. To my surprise it was postive! We NEVER even Tried in November! I think we may have had sex 5 times in the past three weeks! I am not on any BCP and we use the withdraw method (successfully for a year now.)

An EPT positive and Dr's Urine test positive later...I'm waiting for my HCG levels from my bloodwork.

So when people say...stop thinking about it, don't dwell on it, it will happen...it really will happen.

When I started this little story, I said it started with my Nana passing...well, my due date (If I'm truly 4-5 weeks) will be right near her birthday (8/1). How special if our little miracle baby was born on that day! I say miracle only because I cannot even figure out how this happened (funny but I really just don't get it!!!!)

Don't give up hope! If you can put it behind you and try again...it will happen!

OH! and lastly...It must be my fertile time of year because on 11/12/1996 I found out I was pregnant with my daughter...who is now 12 lol... Go figure?!!
