3 + hpts!!!!!! Praise God! But after April's early pg loss
I am trying not to get too used to the idea that I may be pg.
I had a - ept Friday am. Faint + Sunday am with Fact Plus
(found out later that afternoon that this is one of
the least sensitive hpts). Another + Sunday afternoon
w/Clear Blue Easy and yet another Clear Blue + this am.
Does it matter if the line is not as dark as the control?
After what happened in April, I'm so scared that this
pg could stop progressing, or has alreday stopped, at any minute.
I guess I would feel a lot better if the line were extremely dark -
somehow signaling that my levels were off the charts!!
I am going to call my dr this am and ask for a
quantitative blood test so I can know for sure that all the
levels are where they are supposed to be.
I will post details very soon! ladies,
thanks for everything!!!!!!!!!

Well I wanted to start off by thanking everyone
on the board and give a special thanks to Dawn
my friend and my cb's Judy, Tamera, and Camille.
I will fill you in on a little of my history....
I was told I would probably never have children,
I have a condition call Congenital Adrenal hyperplasia
and our chances are low of having kids. When I was 18
I had a tumor that ran down the opening of the vagina,
I had cervical cancer at 22 and several female problems.
I thought my chances were slim. I had told my DH before
marriage and we always knew adoption was an option.
Well at 31 after trying for 6 months I got pregnant with
my DS and everything went fine and Nikolis will be 3 when
this one is born. I started out on this journey in Dec.99
I went off the b/c and decided I would just get pregnant,
again this didn't happen the way I thought it would.
I only used the cm method the first time with Nik and
I got lucky. After the first 3 months this time I found
this sight and got very serious about ttc. I started temping,
cm and cp charting. I noticed that some months even if I O'ed
the O was not very strong and I would start AF 10 days after
and my temp would drop on day 8 dpo. I had one month that it
finally looked and felt right and my lp was 12 that time.
I was hoping for another one of those cy. and I got it this time.
I do believe that it took several months for my body to
adjust coming off the pill and now the details of this cycle.
I knew by day 7 dpo that I was, but there is still that
oh no maybe not feeling. I would not have known I was if
I had never been pregnant. I do believe that you feel
different but it's not something you can put your finger
on till later in the month. I started taking vit. E and b6
along with my prenatals and I would like to say it helped but
hey I won't know for sure since I just started this month.
I drank a gallon of water and had great ewcm this month.
I had all the signs of being pregnant, I would have missed
them if I had not had Nik. I missed them the first time around
so have heart if this is your first you may not know it till much
later in the cycle.

  • 12 dpo no temp big breast sore, cramps, cp still high +++ test
  • 13 dpo no temp- same as above +++ test
  • 14 dpo everything went away I freaked out B/W came back +++++
    I took ept's in the AM on day 11
    I fell back asleep and freaked because
    when I got up a line was there so I emailed
    Dawn and she held my hand for 24 hrs till I
    timed the next test and it too was +++ I than
    tested with old test I had around the house all
    of them were positive. My blood work was +++ and
    I go to the dr today for my first appt. After I
    O'ed my breast didn't hurt till 6 days past and
    my cp was the biggest hint, most months it jumps
    around but this month it went high and stayed high.
    My cramps are high up on either side of your lower
    stomach or as I call it the "pooch". I don't think
    they feel like af but I did think they did with Nik
    so the first time around I would have thought af was
    coming. the biggest shock is the m/s I didn't have that
    with nik till about 8 weeks. I've had it off and on
    since day 8. If anyone has any questions just ask
    I will be happy to tell you. I hope I have covered
    everything and thank you all.

my details.....what there are of them
first off let me say I had NO real symptoms till
after I tested ++++ . I think even now it is mainly nerves.
When we were on vacation there was a baby bird on our
patio and also we went to a chinese restaurant
and my fortune was that
"good news will soon be heard in your home".
I didn't temp the whole cycle.
just checked O by cm * cp. thought for
sure this cycle was gonna be a bust.
I temped a few times after O and saw that temps
just kept getting higher.
When we were on vacation I tested
(so I would have dh to cry on with a -),
when that second line came up I was so happy I cried.
I am extremely nervous right now. I just wish
I could snap my fingers and have a healthy baby in my arms
right now. I want to enjoy this pg as much as possible
but I know I will never rest easy about it.
I thank you all so much for everything.
I Thank God for this wonderful gift he has given to me.

I did it!!! Well technically we did it.
I can't believe it. I wasn't even due until today,
but I got anxious and tested on Thursday after waking from
some very weird dreams. I mean very weird. One of which was
me giving birth to a chicken egg and when I cracked it open
there were 6 yolks!! Earlier this month I started having
the dreams where I am sleeping with everyone
except my husband again. I started to think
oh my goodness am I pregnant?
Thursday morning I took a Clear Blue Easy
and it showed up right away. I
called my husband at work and he said to test again.
I did with a Confirm, and again POSITIVE.
Later in the day the CBE test faded and got me nervous.
I tested yesterday with a Confirm and it took a bit longer
to show but it finally did. Somebody was messing with me
because i was a wreck. Am I or am I not??? I AM.
According to my temp chart ovulaton was detected on day 13.
CM said I ovulated between days 14-16. I sure am glad we
danced alot this month--Pre ovulation anyway.
My husband said he felt like a sperm donor.
I guess that is how i treated him because I
was one track minded. But at least now I can
treat him like a great father.

I charted my temps on www.fertilityfriend.com/home/7128/"

Thank you for sharing your stories, they were inspirational
