Finally got my BFP!
After 4 months of trying, a lot of stress, a lot of questions, and whole bunch of tears, I finally got my BFP! Since I relied on this app so much in the process, I felt obligated to share a few of my learnings:
1- unfortunately Glow (along with other apps) was not on target with my fertile days. I don't suggest relying solely on apps.
2- I started using ovulatation tests on month 3 of trying. Once I started tracking the results on Glow, my fertile days were much more a accurate.
3- In regards to ovulation tests, I used first response. I never got that big bold line everyone (including the box) said you would get during the peak. However, when the two lines were the same in color, I acted and apparently it worked. Just wish I didn't stress myself out over trying to figure out if I was truly ovulating.
4- my husband and I BD 2-3 times a week. Life is busy and sometimes there isn't enough hours or energy in the day!
5- don't waste your money on pregnancy tests. You become addicted to testing and every time you see a negative, it's heartbreaking. Wait until your period is late to take a test. Took a lot of stress out of the equation.
6- Here are some signs that drove me to take a pregnancy test on month 4:
My boobs were the most sore they have ever been. And it never went away. Meanwhile, period boob pain usually only affected me two days.
Same deal with cramps. I had cramps for over a week straight when I usually get them for two days.
I was slightly more emotional than usual over things that normally don't affect me. For example, crying over a tv show :)
I am so excited for the rest of my journey but hope some of the above advice could be appreciated by others. Good luck!
