1	Finally, finally!

After two cycles with Clomid, three IUIs, and two IVFs...I'm now pregnant! It is now 12 dpo and so it's still really early. I've had two miscarriages so I'm really cautious. But so excited!

20	First times a charm!

This is our 1st month ttc. All I did was use the ovulation calculator and gauge sex around that given time frame. We did it the day before and the day of ovulation each time I stayed lying down for about 10min! First time missionary second time rear entry and it worked!
First week DPO- Nothing much, a little cramping and tender bbs (nothing out of the ordinary)
9 DPO- Tested with first response BFN! Didn't loose hope I was having very strange vivid dreams.
11 DPO- Tested again with wall-greens brand test still BFN. Still having crazy dreams, and bbs becoming sensitive then would stop just felt kinda weird. Plus wanting to be pr-ego sooo bad!
14 DPO- Bbs just seem very full, heavy and vainy near the nipples! Something def. feels off plus missing period! Scared to take another test, so decided to wait until tomorrow!
15 DPO- Woke up still no period!? Kind of procrastinating about going to get another test so I go on the computer for a while then suddenly become very tired and have to lay back down for a couple hrs. Wake up and take the test BFP! I almost couldn't believe it, part of me thought I was and the other not really but there ya go. My bbs are so, so, so SORE! Darken aerola noticed yesterday and more today. Very vainy around nipple. Feel exhausted yet cant seem to fall asleep! I wish everyone to be happy and healthy! Baby Dust

15	Success finally!

My fiiance and I had been trying to have a baby for 6 months or so. I stopped taking birthcontrol in June but it took until September for my cycles to return to normal. Then I just continued to check my cervical mucus to tell when I was fertile. I had been experiancing very tender nipples, cramps, and frequent urination but the one symptom that seemed to really stick out was the fact that I was hungry all the time! I just couldn't seem to eat enough. I waited until a week after my missed period since my periods have never been regular. At 24 dpo I tested and got an immdiate postive! I'm so excited! Good luck to the rest of you and just remember sometimes it takes a while to get there but you will get there!

4	Our First Pregnancy, Our First Try!

My husband and I just got married at the end of August and we began trying right away for a baby. We were constantly reminded how difficult it is and to be prepared not to get pregnant right away. I was prepared for maybe a positive pregnancy test in the Spring - especially given the short window of time a woman is fertile in a month. So anyways, I started feeling funny at the beginning of last week and I was not due for my period for a few more days, but I broke down and took a HPT - it was a faint positive. I had been feeling bloated and gassy and having sore nipples ... I didn't want to get my hopes up, but still no AF ... I took another test 3 days ago and it was a positive, but still not strong. So today, to ease my mind, I took one last test and it was, without a doubt, a very strong positive!

4	BFP after m/c

I decided that it would be fun to buy a PG test and then give it to DH as a present, as it is my and DH's one year wedding anniversary today (10/4/09). Funny enough, the digi's were cheaper than FRERs, so i bought those.

So I POAS this morning (10/4), at 10 dpo, really wishing it would be a BFP just so my plan works, but knowing that I won't be heart-broken when a "Not Pregnant" shows up, because really, I'm ONLY 10 dpo. I wash my hands, taking my time, watching that little timer blink at me. It took a full 2 minutes before "Pregnant" popped up!! Shock & awe! I'm going to have my June baby!!! Dream come true! When we first started trying in April the whole time i just wanted a June baby. We had a m/c late June w/ my first pregnancy. This is the perfect anniversary gift and I'm SO thrilled and just trusting God that this baby sticks.

My symptoms are very strong so I'm wondering if I'm later than 10 dpo. In fact I took some Pepto last night b/c I was just feeling so awful. I keep track of my symptoms on this site and my PG symptoms were more than double those of my last cycle (PMS symptoms)! I loved going back and forth between the two cycles and comparing, it made me feel hopeful that this could possibly be our month... and it was!

Baby dust to all of you!!
