BFP Cycle #2 - Baby #2

I'm so excited to annouce that I am expecting baby #2. Here's hoping that I have a happy pregnancy and a healthy, sticky bean. I can't wait to meet this baby in August 2016!

Here's my cycle story...

The first day of my last period was 11/21/2015. During my fertile week my hubby and I BDed on CD 13, 14, 16 & 17. This was also the first month we used Pre-Seed. I'd definitely give it two thumbs up. Great stuff! It felt so natural... and I'm now 4 weeks pregnant. I ovulated on CD 17. I know this because I also use OPKs.

DPO Symptoms -

1—5 DPO: nothing out of the ordinary.
6 DPO: pinch/poking "cramp" on right side of uterus. This was my first sign that I may be implanting. I didn't have any spotting.
7 DPO: continued to have the same odd, almost pin-like poking on my right side (off and on).
8 DPO: BFN, not surprised it was still early. I'm POAS addict. ;-) I'm beginning to feel nausea when hungry, hot flashes, acne breakout, extreme fatigue and hormonal (cried while watching TV). :-)
9 DPO: BFN, same symptoms as above.
10 DPO: same symptoms as 8 and 9 dpo, but now fighting a mild headache. Got a VERY faint line that evening on a Clinical Guard internet cheapie. I have NEVER got a stitch of a line when not pregnant, so I knew something was up.
11 DPO: I continued to get faint lines on ICs. Same symptoms. Fought a mild headache. Got a faint line on a dollar store brand HPT. BFN on Clearblue digital.
12 DPO: Same symptoms. Still a BFN on CB digi. BFPs on internet cheapies. Lines are slowly getting darker, more visible. My hubby could finally see it. ;-) I got really hungry (empty stomach pains) 11:30 at night and had to get a snack. This is definitely not normal.
13 DPO (TODAY): Same symptoms, no headache yet. Yet again, BFN on Clearblue digi. BFP on pink dye FRER and my internet cheapie. Seeing line progression.

My period is due on 12/22/2015. My cycles are usually 31 days long. I'm obviously pregnant, but don't have a high enough HcG level to trigger a digital HPT. I've also heard Clearblue digitals are not very sensitive. I'm hoping to announce to grandparents on Christmas day. So excited! My EDD is August 27th-29th (depends on what day I use. LMP would be 11/21. Ovulation was 12/7). My hubby have the same birthday (August 28th), so there's a big possibility this baby could have the same birthday too! Kinda cool!

BABY DUST TO ALL! :-)
