Well, I have not been posting here long, but I have been ttc since September of last year. It appears, folks, that I am finally pg!! I think I am in shock. I took an hpt yesterday morning and re-tested this morning...both turned up + (although the test line still looks faint to me, it is there). Wow!!! I go for a blood test next week...so, I will not really really believe it until then, I think. Anyway, the symptoms that tipped me off were: 1) I was 15-18 dpo with continuing high temps (not triphasic though); 2) I was very tired out last week and feeling quite "out of it"; and 3) weird, constant nasal congestion starting last week. Also had minor squeezy pains in my abdomen at times...some hunger/cravings. I o'd quite late--I think cd33 or so. I also did NOT think I bd'd anywhere near o (4 days before/2 days after), so I was really disappointed. HA--when you least expect it!! So, that's that! My daily update is a good one :)! I hope everything goes well at the doctor's next week!
THANK YOU everyone for your wonderful posts--

We bd'd on Cd24,25,27. I did check cm on those days and didn't find any, which made me think the opk was wrong. When I went for an u/s on cd29 they showed lots of big follies, assuming at that time that I had not o'd yet. There was a small spot on my left side which we now think was the fertilized egg. If we go by the opk then here were my symptoms very dark + hpt! My first u/s is on Nov. 5th
After ttc for almost 2 years now, don't give up, it
will happen!

I'm pregnant -

Well I think I feel comfortable posting my story. I am 8w3d pregnant with twins. Its been a long road. I got off the pill December 99. I have a 4 year old son who I got pg with no problems right after getting off the pill, so I figured I would be pregnant by April at the latest. Well it did not happen. I did not know about timing of ovulation or anything. My cycles were short and then long. My friends told me dtd on day 11, and some say day 14. Well by July I was getting kind of worried. My ob told me to use opks. So I did, but could never get them to work for me. In August after reading this site I decided I needed clomid after charting for one month. I called my ob and told him and he gave me some. Got pg after 3 cycles of clomid. My betas did not do too well and my progesterone was kind of low so I had a m/c in December of 2000. It was kind of a mess. Went to see and RE and started ttc again in Feb 01. Jan cycle was perfect Feb not too good and March terrible. My re put me on clomid again. I did not ovulate until day 20-25. We decided after 3 months of clomid I would start injectable. Did one iui the last cycle of clomid and could not even time it right. I was sooooo discouraged. Well af came and I was going to start gonal f. Went in for my day 2 u/s and they found a cyst so I had to take the month off. I was soo disappointed. The nurse told me to try anyway that I would probably ovulate b/c the clomid was still in me. Well I decided I would temp until o was confirmed and then put it away. The day to day fluctuations made me crazy. So I o on day 20. after that I told myself If 14dpo no spotting or af I would take my temp and see what it was and if good I would test. I was so tired of those neg tests. I also did not use opks or anything. Just tried to dtd every other day. Well at about 7dpo My boobs started hurting and my appetite kind of went away.
I already had $800 worth of shots ready to go and how could this be. I think I finally relaxed b/c I knew the next cycle we were being aggressive. Well at 15dpo my beta was 1186 - the nurse said don't be surprised if twins. The next one almost tripled. I have had 3 u/s and will get one more next week and If all is well I will be released to my ob. I can't believe I am having twins. I am still walking on eggshells everyday and run to the bathroom if I feel anything. I have been really sick and I am on anti nausea drugs. I also got Sea Bands to wear on my wrists which helps. I have lost 6 lbs from not eating the first couple of weeks. Last week and this week I am doing better. I just wanted to tell my long story and thank all my ttc friends. I would have not gotten this far without everyone and the good advice. So yall hang in there and keep fighting for what YOU want and deserve it will happen. I pray that all goes well for me.
love to all

First I would like to thank Momma Kath for this board, I have been on this board for 3 years ttc and finally I am pregnant: my history, I had the depo shot in 1998 which made me have bad side effects, had a lap done in 1998 also and the found endometriosis 1st stage which they removed and told me to get pregnant. after IUI's and clomid no success. ok ok now for my story. this cycle my lmp was Sept. 23 I took clomid 50mg on days 3-7 and I o'd on October 5th I bd every other day from Oct. 2nd til October 7th. well apparantely it worked. 3 dpo I started cramping really bad and I though af was coming early, the cramps did not stop I still have the cramps, I tested on Thursday the 18th and the test came out negative but af did not come, my temps were still up 98.8 on saturday so I tested and a BFP. started having some uterine pains and I went to the ER and the doctor told me it was normal first time pregnancy pains. My symptoms: swollen breasts, af like cramps and unterine streching pains, dry heeves and mood swings like crazy, oh yeah and constipation I am so happy that after 3 years of ttc I finally have success. |

++++++++++++++++++++ HPT, FINALLY! Here's my story. DH and I have been married 3 1/2 yrs. Decided we wanted to have a baby sometime last year. Went off BCP in Dec. Started trying in March...still trying in July. Then my periods stopped. At first thought I was pg, but HPT's came out a big fat --------! Waited until September and went back to OB/GYN. Took a urine test and she came in and said that it was +. We were so excited. I couldn't stop shaking. She said we were 10 wks pg. We did all the new OB work-up...pap, bloodwork, scheduled the ultrasound, etc. On our way home, the Dr. called back and said that she was wrong. They had just got a new urine test and they read the results wrong. I know she felt terrible. But not as terrible as me and my DH. She said she took the test around the the rest of the staff and that they miss read it too, so the collected them all and threw them all away. ANYWAY, she sent the blood work in anyway to see why we hadn't gotten pregnant after 8 mo. She call right away and asked it we had DTD lately. We had. She said good, because I was surging and to DTD a lot more. That was on the 4th. It is now the 23rd (5:35 am.) and I finally gave in a took the HPT. Praying all the time it was positive!!!! IT IS!!! Here are my stats: I half heartedly took my temps. I knew that I was around 96.9-97.4 all most of the time. When I started getting suspicious my temps were in the 98.0+ I started out with very sensitive nipples and then moved to sore bb. I had what I think was implantion spotting on the 15-16th. I had cramps kinda like AF, but somehow different. A tiny bit tired, but not really. A little nausa yesterday, and my dinner didn't settle well last night. Oh, and I broke out in acne.
Good luck ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!
