Morning ladies. I hope everyone is doing okay. Last night, my husband went back to the hospital so I didn't get much sleep. Woke up this morning and my temp went up to 98.3 from 98.1 and achy breasts. Last night before bed, I checked my cervix as it was so low and even though I don't know what I'm feeling for (open/close) but it felt closed to me. I know this shouldn't be done but I am going to test with an expired test as I really don't want to use my FRER even though it may result in a fse negative or a false positive. If I see something then I will use it. Good luck everyone who is testing soon.

OMG guys, I got 1.5hr ago frikin BFP!! I just woked up and went to bathroom, actually I took the test and it was three minutes later when I was like "who am I kidding, why am I doing this to myself? taking tests and looking at empty test being sad" I picked it up to throw it away and the frikin line appeared!!! I still can't believe it, my period is due tomorrow. I have 4 more quality tests, gonna take one tomorrow morning. The reason I decided to take it, my boobs have gotten HUGE, they always get bigger before period, but atm they are just like 2 times larger than normally and yesterday evening I was eating and midway done with my plate, the smell of food just made me sick, I was holding my nose closed for 30 minutes. I'm in shock, I don't believe it yet, but OMG I think I'm pregnant??? sry for being how I am, I'm just frikin excited and Idk what to feel or think or just omg....

If I really am pregnant, the only thing what's changed last 3 months is iron supplement. I've had problems with a little bit too low iron levels, because of my heavy period. I've been taking non heme iron (it's from nettle leaf and acerola) for last 3 month every other day first thing in the morning. And I've been drinking raspberry leaf the for around 4 months too, not last cycle, but this cycle I drinked it a lot, it should help to regulate hormones and get your uterus lining ready for implantation. TMI but now last cycle we used that babystart lube too, I took one time syrenge and I put the lube really up inside there... But I think the iron might be what was my problem, I've had problems with it all my life, especially after I started my period in my teen years. It's been just a little bit more down than normal, not much, but maybe, just maybe, that was our problem.

@Nasake. Yay. Congrats. Have you posted your picture in the gallery?

Thankyou!! I just did! And funny story, I had forgotten my pee cup on the shelf... and quality test said it' fine to use up to 8 hr ago taken pee what's been kept in room temperature, so I dipped the test there, and line came after 1 minute. Irl they are a little bit darker than in the pics. I just still can't believe it, I'm so frikin happy and terrified at the same time those are happy tears!

nasake I'm so happy for you. Now that you are pregnant, no more raspberry leaf but keep taking iron pills. I also have a mild anemia and Dr. Doubled my dosage since bfp. Apparently it is linked to difficulty ttc and miscarriages.

Alex I'm so sorry. I wished I could talk to your husband. Doing iui or taking fertility pills do not change your beliefs. God gave intelligence to humans so that they could develop method to help each other. All those pills are not just synthetics. Most of the components come from organic organisms plants and animals which are natural. There is no shame on asking for help. God uses multiple ways to help us. Please, just tell me your feelings. I too believe like everyone else that you deserve a baby. You are so nurturing, nice , maternal. You tried on your own now it s time for help. I hope that you can do it. Or maybe just the fertility pills. About macca I also heard great stuff . Maybe if you make a smoothie for husband and mix it in there, he wont be able to taste it but still take it.

Mill I feel your pain. Cry but don t give up. It will happen.

AFM I wish I could respond to everyone. I will try again next time. Welcome to the newbies.i have been tired but I think and pray for all of us everyday. Please check out Madagascar and Covid 19 remedy, I think we will be out of the woods soon. They found a natural remedy but the WHO does not want to recognize it bc they want to give it for free to everyone.
Keep the faith.

MrsB I’m so sorry AF came! I really hope you’ll get your bfp soon!

Nasake I’m so happy for you love! Congratulations it was about time to see a bfp this cycle! So glad we did

Dragonfly can’t wait to see the results! I have everything crossed for you!

Lalou hubby is now taking the maca powder no matter how bad it tastes. I do take it too!
It’s not so much a religion thing... is more just how he feels. He do believe that some things are meant to be in certain ways and he doesn’t trust anyone else to interfere with something like it. But if his father would say so he maybe consider it.
I mentioned it before, I don’t know if you remember but his dad who lives in Russia (My hubby is Russian) is a gynecologist and a good one too! Well... He is the only one who My hubby trusts and I don’t blame him. And yes, I would love some help but I don’t know what they’re talking about on this subject or what exactly my hubby shared with his dad. I don’t speak Russian so I cannot have a conversation with his father on my own about it. I don’t feel that there is a will to help though.. it’s been so long and whenever I ask my hubby what his father says, he’s telling me that he says that everything is gonna be alright and to have faith that it will happen... I’m sorry but I find it very difficult to believe that a doctor who’s been a clinic supervisor have this opinion about a couple who’s trying for 9 years and also knowing our fertility issues.. I don’t know what is going on and I’ve been shut down every time I try to discuss about it. So yea..

@Alex. Thanks girl. I made a post on my BBT chart as I never temped passed 6dpo before. I tested yesterday with my FRER and it was stark white. Glad your hubby is finally taking it. Hope it helps him.

AFM, yesterday was a very rough day. Was crying over everything. Which is normal for me before my period but still having symptoms. I woke up half an hour before my alarm and I keep getting the chills... my temp today is 98.5 and yesterday was 98.3. I did temp a couple times after that as I couldn't believe it and it read 98.3 so, I'm taking the first temp. Any ideas anyone? Can you check my post?

Dragonfly I also posted this on your board but in case you haven’t seen I believe It’s very tricky when it comes to implantation dip since you could still have one and not be pregnancy related. This is happening cuz it’s common to have a second estrogen surge middle tww. I had it several times and got my hopes up! Unfortunately you have to wait to see the whole pattern. If you are pregnant this cycle this could totally be your implantation day. Positive tests should start showing 2-3 days after this! I’m hoping for a positive soon

I have a feeling we getting less and less in here which is a very good thing of course cuz it means people are getting pregnant!
I will always have in my heart some of the friends I met when I was new in here who are now pregnant or already had their babies! I’m so happy for them and hopefully I’ll be in the same position too!
I also missed and very often thinking about some friends who haven’t been around in a while like Scuba or Pandorica! I hope they got their bfp
While we’re still here ladies waiting for our little miracles, please tell me.. do you have any special way you want to announce to your SO when you get your bfp?
Personally I always wanted to film my reaction when I get the positive and also his reaction when I’ll show him and then make a video which I can share with my family as an announcement! As for hubby I want to buy him a pair of mini adidas shoes since we both love this brand. I’m thinking to put them in a normal size adidas shoe box and tell him that I got him a present.. I want to also have the test inside...
I wish someday this will become true...

@nasake CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so thrilled for you!!

@Alex I'm not sure how I'll tell my husband if/when we conceive #2. I haven't thought about that! I'd love to secretly film his reaction, that's a great idea.

AFM, 7dpo. Tender breasts, super tired, moody (I've had a rough week with little/no time for myself to recharge properly so I'm pretty on edge) but not much else. I feel hopeful this cycle because my husband has started praying more, and as soon as he did several prayers were answered (we're getting a car for one!) So hopefully his prayers for another child will be heard too! Chiro adjusted my sacrum again and released my hip flexors which were twisting my hips really badly and contributing to (TMI) my trapped gas around ovulation, and I'm feeling much more comfortable in general now. Home improvements coming along slowly but surely... Keeping me focused!
