Hey ladies, I am only on here for support since I need to wait another Cycle before we try again. I wanted to tell you my experience so you guys have an Idea what I experienced. On Oct 19th I was supposed to get AF however never showed and was having all kinds of pregnancy symptoms, from nausea to lower back pain to dizziness and sore boobs. So decided it was time to test and low and behold I got a BFP on Fer. Saturday I decided I would test again just to make sure and sure enough was still there and a bit darker. Sunday we had plans to do a fall photo shoot. I decided that was when I was going to tell my Husband, He was so happy and so was I was just so magical. Monday We decided we where only going to tell a few friends and we where going to wait till Christmas to tell family (glad we did)
So for some reason I had the feeling something was going on that wasn't right so I kept testing. Plus I like to pee on things LOL. Well the test was getting lighter and lighter as days passed. wasn't sure if it was because my pee was Diluted or not (found out it wasn't) Come Sunday I went out with my mom and Decided in secret I was going to tell her we where expecting. she was elated with joy. That afternoon I felt a weird twinge in my stomach on left and right side, almost like contractions. I went home and was spotting. There was no pain associated with the light twinges I thought it was just my muscles. So never thought anything of it. Monday morning I was still spotting and decided I was going to go to work, 3 hours later I was bleeding full force with clots. I went to the hospital and sure enough I was miscarrying. It sucks but husband and I are not giving up. Just those words that will haunt me forever, your pregnancy is terminated. ... trying not to cry today since I am back to work but very hard, We will get our second baby hopefully.

11 DPO I got my faint positive! I'm sorry, it's hard to pick up the color in this photo but they're pink. It hasn't truly hit me yet honestly. Not until I tell DH, but going to take more tests over the next few days and make sure the lines get darker.
What we did this cycle: We followed SMEP(sperm meets egg plan) to the exact T. Once I got a positive opk, we BDed 3 days in a row. Skip one day and then BD one more time just in case you O late. I don't know if this helps, but I put a pillow under my hips for 30 minutes after BDing. We also used preseed which helped things go "smoother" with all this BDing.
Wishing all you ladies luck!!

I agree stress affects things so much. When we were TTC our #1, it took us about 8 months to get pregnant (I think I had a CP in those 8 months but otherwise nothing). I ended up getting pregnant on the cycle I was taking a break. My husband was travelling during my fertile week so I figured there was no way it would happen and took a break from temping. I ended up ovulating late that cycle but didn't know it (my cycle were pretty much the same every month but somehow I ovulated almost a week late) and we conceived the day my husband got back from his trip. So I really think it is amazing how much good relaxing a bit can do!!

@latou I'm due ovulation on Thursday but we're using the "sperm meets egg method" this month so we're right on schedule but I'm picking up opks to confirm my ovulation date
@confused it's not so bad I chose to go to Ireland for a year or so when they immigrated which is why I didn't go with but as far as I know they're enjoying it
