After months of seeing friends and family announce pregnancies it is finally our turn! It took us 4 cycles to conceive. The first 3 cycles I tracked everything and it got to the point where sex felt like a chore. Our successful month started with taking a step back and trying to relax.. as difficult as it was, I cannot be happier with the results! I didn’t take OPKs, but with a regular cycle I had a rough idea. We took a romantic weekend trip away and just had fun with each other. I drank wine, hot tubbed and BD’d more than once a day for quite a few days of my window and at least once a day. Also, It was our second month using preseed, so I totally recommend it. Not sure if it helped, but definitely didn’t hurt! I tested positive faintly at 10Dpo. I experienced tender breasts from 6DPO on, constantly, not sporadically (it’s still going). Also very tired, back pain, and random sharp cramps throughout the day. I had a feeling I was pregnant because I just felt different overall, but I tried to push it back and deny/ not symptom spot because I didn’t want to be let down again. Anyways, I know everyone is different, but these are the things we did/ I noticed the month we GOT PREGNANT!! Woot!! Just wishing for a healthy 9 months 💕 baby dust to all those still trying! ✨
