We did it :)

Wow! I just did a EPT digital pregnancy test and it came out "Pregnant"! I tested 4 days before my period was due. My cycles are 30 days long and I ovulated on day 15.

My hubby and I have been trying for baby #3 for the past 2 months. This month we used preseed and opk, but also had ovulation spotting. We made love the day before postive opk and also the day I noticed ovulation spotting. I also placed a pillow under my hips for atleast 45 minutes. What made me test 4 days early was that I was having mild cramping, feeling very gassy and felt light headed when I stood up. I remember with my 2nd pregnancy I had the exact same symptoms. I barely have any CM (I would have to say I'm dry). My boobs are not sore, but at times do feel fuller. I felt hot flashes and felt extremley tired 3 days before testing.

A little over a week ago I went to see the doctor beacause I was having extreme cramps. He scheduled me for a ultrasound the same day. It turns out that I have 2 cysts. One on each ovary. He did mention that on the ultrasound results it shows that I ovulated. That actually gave me some hope that this was our month.

If you are thinking of using OPK, try the Dollar Tree New Choice. For only $1.00, you can't go wrong. I bought $8.00 worth of OPK. Tested everyday till I saw a positive.

Baby dust our way :)!

Pregnant after 2 months of ttc!!!!

After what happened last month I didn't know what to think this month!!!! I was so sure August was my month! Boy was I wrong!!! You would think I would know since this is my 5th pregnancy (w/only 2 live births). I had all the symptoms, well, the symptoms I WANTED to have!!! The sore bbs, the headaches, frequent urination, even the food adversions! But what some of us fail to do is stop paying attention to the syptoms we ALWAYS HAVE and pay attention to the ones we don't usually have! The symptoms that stood out the most for me were the ab cramping around 7 & 8 dpo, (very painful might I add!), the VIVID DREAMS that begin around 4 dpo and that I'm still having now, creamy sometimes watery cm and alot of it, and the day af was suppose to show I was peeing ALL NIGHT!!!! Didn't have any of those symptoms last month and ladies we DEFINITELY can use the cervix as a sign because I swear mine was doing what it wanted to do!!! I was very tired but I'm that way before af shows her face! OAN, I begin testing 8 dpo knowing it would probably be negative. At 14 dpo I begin to give up hope. At 16 dpo I was sure it wasn't my month. But I continued to have the vivid dreams and the pain in my bbs (especially the nipples) got worst which was out of the ordinary for me. I've NEVER charted, just kept up with my cycles so I wasn't sure where I stood temp wise. At 17 dpo I used the dollar store brand which showed a faint line AFTER the 10 minute mark so I wasn't sure. So the next day (18 dpo) I sent my hubby to the store to buy FRER to use the next morning but I couldn't wait! We got our BFP @ 7pm after only 2 months of ttc @ 18 dpo!!! I got preggo my first time ttc and bfp around 17 dpo with my almost 3 year which shows if you really know your cycles and listen to your body it will happen and maybe sooner than you think!!!! BABY DUST TO ALL!!!!!!! 5 WKS and 1 day preggo with baby #3! :-))

Pregnancy Story

I got of BC in May and we TTC right away. I was hoping I would get pregnant sooner than later but I never expected to get pregnant after 2 months!!! My husband and are were shocked and so HAPPY!!

I took an EPT +- (blue ink) test on Saturday and one on Sunday, both came back with the faintest of blue lines so I thought it was a false positive since I read that blue ink is not the most reliable becasue of the ink bleeding. I had a ton of cramping (mild) from ovulation until I should have gotten my period. I thought for sure AF was coming! On the day I was expecting it, I kept running to the bathroom to check :)

I took a clear blue digital and it came back pregnant!

I didn't have any symptoms except I was extremely tired where I napped and after I got home from work and went to be early. I also was VERY hungry. I could eat something and be starving an hour later.

We are very excited!

Winning Combination!!

I for one just got my Bfp after two years of trying everything in the book, using the Instead cup! It is amazing and I cannot believe it! me and dh DTD with no vaginal penetration, and then he did his thing in the cup and I inserted it (it was O day ) then I (secretly) used a vibratror to have a very big O! Lol! well my chart started looking funky about 5dpo and I've ben cramping ever since! I thought I was out because I had NO SYMPTOMS! I usually have a TON of " symptoms" I then noticed a dip on 8dpo but my temps were still all over the place. Well on 14Dpo just for the hell of it I used a dollar tree test and it came back + within a minute! I could not believe It! So i immediately ran out and got CVS Ept.. and they were positive too. I went to the Dr and got a beta (in the emergency room) and my hcg is 321 at 15 Dpo! I cannot believe it! Dont stop trying ladies. I am 36 years old, had PID, Used U/P Clomid, had a Lap and Dye and now I am pregnant. Only thing I did differently this time was use the Instead Cup, O'd with a vibrator once it was in, Dran green tea 2-3 times a day and used Evening primrose for the 12 days leading up to ovulation, which did give me better mucus, it wasnt ewcm but is was very watery on Oday and the day before....Go and get the instead cups before they raise the price and start calling it a "conception aid"!!!

We had success!

Me and my husband started trying for our third child on our tenth anniversary. I hoped it would be an easy ride but we had three miscarriages before we had our two children and one unexpected pregnancy that ended in miscarriage two days after we found out about it. But we were hopeful.

So we started in September of 2008. We tried for a few months to no avail. Finally we got pregnant in December. Things were progressing. I developed morning sickness and felt even more hopeful. Then symptoms seemed less severe. Next thing I know I'm spotting. I go to the ER to find out that I have a 50/50 shot of miscarrying. My HCG is low but it can be in new pregnancies I'm told so they sent me home. I took it easy and didn't leave my chair all weekend. The bleeding slowed and eventually was a tad bit of brown. So Monday I went back to work and I started to bleed again. This time red. Back to the ER where they told me my HCG had dropped. We were devastated. Our fifth miscarriage.

So we went to our doctor and he told us to get right back on the horse. I went out and bought OPKs because alot of people recommended them. Used them and we got a positive on March 22nd... and another on March 23. I knew we'd accomplished it on March 23rd! Sure enough I get a positive 10 DPO! I take tests every day for the next 4 days in disbelief. I first think it will be chemical, then just a plain old miscarriage. I have a Drs appointment for 6 weeks exactly and it was hell to get there. So we finally do and on the ultrasound there is my baby and there is a healthy heartbeat! Score! Well we have spotting, even red spotting, every other week off and on and every single episode I'm sure it is going to go bad. This happens till 20 weeks and finally the spotting stops. I did get alot of ultrasounds though to confirm all was well. But Those were horrid weeks... not only did I have bleeding but I had horrible morning sickness the whole time. I was actually thankful for it because I knew it meant the baby was fine.

After that I remained high risk because of my gastro intestinal disorders but we made it. At 37 weeks I got an amnio to confirm lung maturity and we get the go ahead to induce. We find out I'm already at 6 CMs so this should be cake! Labor was easy as pie. A few pushes and my son is out and he's more than perfect.

Well I now after all the blood, sweat and tears I have a 3 month old baby. The road was very hard and bumpy but when I look at that sweet little baby I know it was all worth it. So good luck ladies and remember there is ALWAYS hope. About a million times this was going unwell and it still turned out great. It turned out with my sweet son. :)
