How I got pregnant and how I felt.
This was kind of what I was looking for when I was going through my TTC journey. I hope this helps someone.
Went off birth control pill (Cryselle) November 2017. So I don’t really count December as a month trying because I’m not positive I was ovulating at that point.
Tried without anything January and February.
March I started using generic OPKs. But still nothing.
April is our magic month. PRE SEED!! Bought it based on all the wonderful things I heard about it on this app.
We BD’d the day I got my positive OPK and the day after ovulation. Not actually on the day of ovulation. Used pre seed both times. So on the 3rd and the 5th:
I didn’t get implantation bleeding or cramps.
7 to 8 DPO - breasts started getting sore. I started losing hope at this point because this usually happens to me in the days leading up to AF.
9 DPO - overcome by a super strong metallic taste in my mouth.
After asking about it on here and everyone telling me it’s a pregnancy symptom I decided to test. I didn’t have a FRER so I used a Clear Blue that I had (the top one below) but I wasn’t really convinced.
The next morning I took a generic and saw a faint line and with the encouragement of the ladies on this app I went out to buy a FRER!
I never thought I would be lucky enough to get a positive at 10 DPO. It’s beyond words.
Thank you all again. It’s so nice to come on here everyday and get my positive energy fix. Good Luck to all of you - it will happen!
