O my word...Praise the Lord! 6 months ttc and I finally got a positive..it's faint..but the FNP I work with confirms with me!!!

My husband and I started using preseed 3 months ago, I took a positive OPK on the 21st of April...guessing I O'd on April 22nd. WE BD'd every other day this month and doubled up on the weekends.

Here were my "symptoms"...if that's what you want to call them. They are almost identical to my pre-period symptoms..

1-8 dpo-nothing
9dpo- tiny tiny tiny pin prick of red after wiping, headache
10 dpo-11dpo- headache ( nl before period also, but hanging out longer), diarrhea (which I usually get before my period but it has lasted longer than normal), chills, achy, kind of a dry mouth? No sore boobs at all! SO irritable, and cranky, and emotional, and crying all the time, and sensitive at my work place. Not extremely tired. Cramps on and off( seriously thought my period was right around the corner!)

11dpo- chills, HA, diarrhea...took preg. test at 10:30 and after drinking a lot of water....faint positive within 3-5 minutes!

I will continue testing this weekend to confirm that the HCG is darkening!

So excited I can't stand it. I'm literally shaking all over! Can't believe it! Praise God!

In Oct 2012, I was diagnosed with a Pituitary Tumor, causing my body to create the hormone Prolactin. The doctor told me this would keep me from being able to get pregnant without treatment. After hours of praying, a week later I went back to hospital to have a MRI, the tumor was gone!! That was my first miracle. I then started taking the medication Bromocriptine, to lower Prolactin levels. I have been having blood work done every month to test the progress, and at the end of March/first of April I tested with a normal healthy level on all my blood tests. I also had a perfect pap smear. My doctor told me my body was for sure ready to be pregnant. In December 2012 I started taking a prenatal vitamin, just so I could have some good nutrients packed up for my baby to be lol. In February 2013 I also started taking a supplement called Royal Jelly, it is supposed to level out hormone imbalances, and improve the health of womens eggs. I took one prenatal and one Royal Jelly at night every night. My period this cycle started on April 8 2013, my doctor had me chart my BBT just so I could get an idea of when everything was happening. The chart on here detected my ovulation, and then I noticed a dip (this was implantation dip) then a day later it began to rise again, I knew that this was a good sign but too early to say yes I was pregnant. From 5-8dpo I had off and on cramping, and on the night of 8 dpo my cramps were a little more noticeable, and I noticed I was spotting just a little, it was like the toilet paper was just a little pink. This went on for about 3 hours until I decided to check my cervix. It felt way higher than normal and closed. I just kind of brushed it off and went to bed. This morning at 9 dpo, I woke at 8:30am and I checked my BBT, and it's still elevated, got up and fixed breakfast. At 10 am I started getting really tired and told my husband I was going to take a short nap, I set my alarm to go off at 10:45 am, once I got up I just was like I need to take a pregnancy test, (I used the Dollar General Brand) and in 3 short minutes BOOM there was an obvious unmistakable positive! I am so excited and thank God for answering our prayers, now our prayers are that we have a happy and healthy baby and pregnancy. So just keep trying, when it is your time it will happen, we just have to wait our turn. If anyone has any questions I will be more than happy to answer. Baby dust to all you ladies!!!

Just got my BFP after 50 days since last period on the 11th March.
I assumed i ovulated around 25th March (cd15) based on my average cycles and cm checking. My cycles vary about 32/24 days. Shortest being 20 and longest being 52.
Tested everyday from about cd26 being hopefull and all negative.
I randomly did a OPK on cd36 as I had brought some to try on my next cycle and got a positive at lunchtime then negative at teatime and next day.
So unsure when i conceived.
Symptoms for me were:
2nd April cd23 Lots of beigey coloured lotion cm
3rd April cd24 Really felt 'the burn' convinced af coming early negative HPT
5th April cd26 pink spotted clear cm when checking cm inside me Negative HPT
6th April cd27 Brown spotting on pad Negative HPT
8th April cd29 Pink on tissue when wiping
11th April cd32 Really bad cramps on my left side (BDed)
13th April cd34 Creamy CM Negative HPT
14th April cd 35 Really strange sweet smell from my vagina. When checking CM it smells really really sugary/sweet
15th April cd35 Positive on OPK Mild cramps (Bded)
16th April cd36 Negative OPK???
18th April cd39 Increased appetitie and bloating Negative HPT
19th April cd40 Increased appetitie and bloating. Feeling pig sick and gained some weight.
20th April cd41 Feeling really tired and sick and bloated Negative HPT
24th April cd45 Feeling sick Negative HPT
25th April cd46 Feeling sicky Negative HPT
26th April cd47 Faint positive on asda HPT outside of time limit though?
29th April cd50 BFP on FRER
So after all them negative tests and period 2 weeks-ish late got a bfp and then confirmed at the DRs with a urine test there.

I can hardly believe that I am writing this post but after three years of TTC we have success with IVF in the first round! When the doctor called today to tell me the great news I started to cry! Good luck to all who are TTC hopefully your journey is a short one but, if not know that there are great resources for you here and out there! Hugs!!

Hello I miscarried on March 1st 2013 and waited 5 weeks for my cycle to come back. The miscarriage was natural and I was 7 weeks pregnant at the time I miscarried. We decided to wait a cycle to start trying again. Well hope this is a sticky bean. Good luck ladies!!!
