I've never wanted something more
I've never wanted something more! Cried like a baby this morning when I saw the second lines starting to develop. Now, I'm praying for a healthy baby and a healthy pregnancy.
Here is what I learned on my journey. I hope this helps someone the same way other people's stories helped me.
About me:
•Third month trying for baby #1
•I'm 30 years old
•my husband and I have been together since we were 22
•30 day cycles, very regular
*(I take the iron free gummy prenatals from whole foods because anything with iron makes me feel sick to my stomach)
What I did differently this month:
•tracked my ovulation. The first response brand where you start tracking on day 5 of your period was the most accurate for me.
*BD 4 days up to ovulation, and a couple of days after just in case. Take away is BDing BEFORE (1-4 days) and up to when you ovulate is the key!
•put feet in the air and stayed on my back post baby dancing. 15 mins
*hubby said that lots of foreplay is important for the guy. Helps the swimmers get where they need to go faster. Hopefully that's not tmi! Just trying to share what worked for us.
Felt these symptoms before I took the test:
(fyi- everybody is different!! But this is what I felt)
2-3 days dpo: lots of gas
5-7 days dpo: cramps, lower abdominal pain, fatigue-couldn't get off the couch , felt like I was about to start my period but it felt a little different, headache, teeth ache, felt nasutious, heartburn
7-8 days dpo: boobs started to feel achy, lots of burping (this was weird for me so it was super noticeable), somewhat sore but mostly sore nips (Almost felt icey/hot). Vivid dreams start.
9-10- less symptoms, but light cramping, boobs felt a little weird
10-12- symptoms barely there. Starting to feel great again. A touch worried, but trying to stay positive
12 days dpo- can't wait any longer! Had to take the test. Get 2 BFP!! Best day ever. ( I had a dream 3 weeks ago that I had a bfp with a clear blue pregnancy test so I had to buy that brand!)
Husbands bday is tomorrow!! Can't wait to share with him the best news ever! :)
Good luck to all those trying. Pinpointing ovulation is key!!
