How we got our BFP
caliejones
Posts: 222
I have been tracking my cycles for over a year, eating better for 6 months really clean eating for 1 month, using OPKs and temping for 2 months. My theory was to best guess my ovulation time frame then stick with the same insem schedule each time. The first time I did 2 vials 12 hours and 24 hours past +OPK. Then I figured out I more than likely ovulate within the 24 hours. So on this successful BFP I actually did 1 vial about 1hour past +OPK.
1 day past iui - nothing
2days past iui - nothing
3 days past iui- woke up with very sore boobs. I only have sore boobs about 3 days before AF and only on the sides. This was different, I had breast implants years ago and I have nerve damage on my areoles, so I don't feel heat or cold or pain on them....however on this morning I did! In the shower the stung.....and hurt, when I got out my boos both just burned. From then on the entire boob(s) were sore everyday. I could feel them when I walked, slept, ate breathed anything.
4 days past iui- nothing other than boobs
5 days past iui - boobs still hurt with added shooting pains here and there. Also uterus pains here and there but no AF cramping.
6 days past iui- same as above
7 days past iui - same as above plush I cried during the finale of the Bachelor....never happens! Normally I watch the show to make laugh at the silly things people do. (I found this very odd)
8 days past iui - sore boobs, also (tmi) when I did my cervix check out came a blob of yellowish snot like CM (this was also very odd)
9 days past iui - sore boobs, so much saliva I gagged all day.
10 days past iui - tender boobs that's it thought I was out!
11 days past iui-sore boobs......more yellowish snotty cm, burp nauseous & no pre-AF spotting. So I thought maybe just maybe.... Fertility friend said I was 9 dpo, but I tested anyhow at 5:30pm with a FRER and I got the faintest of lines. Took a mother FRER at 6:30pm to make sure the first test wasn't a fluke, and again faint BFP. I have taken 1 almost every morning since then, partly because I had them and even more because I love to see those 2 lines. My lines are the same color now, no spotting and I would be 14 DPO.
Anyone who says you can not have any real symptoms that early.....has just never had them, cause I can tell you with my other 2 kids I didn't have any symptoms until 5 or 6 weeks, but this time my boobs were the biggest red flag. I had also promised myself if AF did start, that I would make another Doctors appt to make sure there was nothing wrong with me.
So good luck, try to take your mind off of your 2 week wait, plan things to stay busy, good luck & baby dust to all of you ladies!
