10	BFP on third cycle after a loss!

This was my 3rd cycle TTC after a loss in January (with one cycle off).

We used OPKs and were charting for all three cycles. I hadn't had any EWCM since my loss and I started drinking green tea in cycle two... continued in cycle three, sometimes twice a day before O. FINALLY I got some EWCM on the same day I got my first + OPK!

We had sex two nights in a row starting the day of my + OPK. My chart said that I O'd the day after those two days, probably in the morning.

At 7dpo I had VERY strong, overpowering fatigue. It came out of nowhere and suddenly I HAD to take a nap. After that my symptoms weren't very remarkable... hungry, tender breasts, frequent urination, bloating, but these were all things I usually had before my period too. One symptom that was different was that from around 7dpo on I started getting these brief, stabbing headaches once a day, just for a little while.

I tested at 13dpo feeling "sure" I was going to get a negative result, but it was a nice dark positive! - Equate brand (two lines). Confirmed the next morning with a digital (CBE).

23	Can't believe it!!

Hi all, me and OH had been trying for a baby since August 2006, with no luck we decieded to go and see a specialist we got all the tests and stuff done and were waiting on the results when low and behold we found out we were pregnant on September 2008, unfortunatly i m/c in october and had to have the baby removed at 11 weeks by D&C. it completly knocked us for 6. but somehow i managed to pick myself up and keep trying but every month i had the BFN and it knocked me back again. then in Feburary i found out my older sister was pregnant fro the third time, of bearly even trying and i fell apart. Thankfully i didn't have to wait that long to join her, i hadn't expected to be pregnant this month at all. I ovulated twice last month and thankfully caught it both times which i'm glad to say worked, my birthday was 16th April and i tested on 17th and got a BFP.

I still can't believe it to be honest because of my M/C i cannot relax about it yet, i'v had a lot of nausea and dizzyness so i am keeping my fingers crossed as i never had that the last time.

Good luck to all you girls xxxx

13	easter positive after mc!!

last june i was on the pill but got no af so i did a tst and yes it was BFP!!!! panic was my fist thought, OH wasnt really happy about it but when it sank in we realised that we could do do! on the 1st of aug i started bleeding and as quickly as it started it was all over. we were devestated!! We decided it was what we wanted so between aug and dec we really knuckled down and sorted out our finances!!! we started trying again in Jan as cycles went on we got more and more disheartened. In march we decided we would really relax about it. so we bd every other night all month and a few extra times when we just felt like it. i honestly didnt think it would work as i didnt even do the bum on pillow thing!!! Until about a week ago i woke up and i just knew we had done it!! i took a test and it was BFN!!but i knew i was so i did another test easter sunday and there it was 2 lines!!! we are over the moon. i think im due around the 17th dec09!!

good luck to everyone else!!

9	Finally!!!

It has been a long road and now our journey can finally begin! We started TTC in 2005. After a year of trying we went to the doctor and learned that my husband has azoospermia and is unable to biologically have children. We were devastated! After a year of letting it soak in and learning about our options we decided to go for donor insemination. Five ICI cycles and 1 IUI cycle later and we are pregnant. For all of you who are struggling with some obstacle in this process know that with determination it will happen. I had so many moments of hopelessness when I thought I might not be able to keep trucking down this road, but I made it! Good luck to you !!

9	Still Stunned

DH (39) and I (36) have only been trying for 5 months. But, because of my history, I can't believe we're pregnant. I have fibroids. I had 3 surgeries (myomectomy) where they remove the tumors, which were inside on my uterus. Because of scar tissue from each of the pregnancies, I didn't know if I was going to be able to have children. As a matter of fact, I told my husband when we were dating that we may not be able to conceive children, and would he be ok if we had to adopt. He was completely supportive. Plus add the age factor in there. :-\

Last month I had an HCG where they inject dye into your uterus to see if it goes through your fallopian tubes the check if they're open. That procedure was horrible for me. The doctor didn't think he was going to be able to perform it because my uterus was seriously turn to the left. After trying for about 10 minutes, he found the opening. The results were, my right tube was completely obstructed. My left tube was open, but damaged. You can only imagine how deflated I felt once I left the office.

The only thing I held onto was reading that sometimes women get pregnant up to 3 months after this procedure because it can sometimes clear out any possible blockage in the tubes.

The following OV we "really" tried. OV was Sat. we BD on Wed., Thur., Sat., and Sun. Each time I lied there for about 30 min. once done. On Sat. & Sun. I put a pillow under my pelvis, and each time was missionary style. Well, SOMETHING WORKED. This morning I got a BFP. Now I just pray it sticks. I am very relieved to know that if nothing else, I know we can get pregnant. God willing it sticks, but if it doesn't, we will do it again!!!
