Ok here goes. This will be long so maybe grab a 
but i used to love reading these so am trying to include all I can in the hope it might be useful to someone out there either now or later.
Gennibugs age 34 ttc#1 cycle 14 BFP 21/01
This was cycle 14 of us properly trying but we halfheartedly tried for 6 months before that before I realised this isn't as easy as you are led to believe! 
We've had all the fertility tests, DH has no issues at all on his side, we even forked out £500 this month on a fragmentation test for him in prep for ivf and that was fine. I however have low AMH for my age unfortunately which is an issue and was told I would have to do short protocol ivf.
This month we ditched the opks and I didn't bother temping. I normally ov around cd 15-17 so we just focused our attention on then. Being off work really helped, we managed to DtD on cd 4, 8, 13, 14, 15 and 16. I got ov pains on cd 15 so pretty sure I ov then.
In prep for ivf I have cut out caffeine, alcohol and artificial sweeteners. I also massively upped my protein. I don't personally advocate doing this straight off as it would have been a pretty miserable 14 months without some vices but I wanted everything to be right for our ivf go.
I took a multivitamin, folic acid, organic fish oils, royal jelly capsules and on the advice of my clinic a huge dose of co enzyme q10 every day (this was recommended due to my low AMH).
Re exercise - I know there is always a lot of debate about this. I love exercise and after 6 months of no joy I cut back as I was worried it was an issue. All it did was make me blobby and miserable. My consultant said to just do what made me happy and relaxed so if that was exercise to then go for it. So this month I have trained intensively 6 days a week and so far (fingers crossed) everything is ok. I will cut back now though.
I got a bfn on 15dpo and my BFP on 16dpo. Another BFP today at 17 dpo. My symptoms were exactly as if AF was coming - cramps from last Friday, sore boobs. I was convinced AF was coming. The only difference is that I didn't get my pre AF headache and DH says there's been no sign of my usual pre AF evilness and irrationality that I normally get! Oh and my cat decided earlier in the week she hated me (normally she adores me) but now is back to being my best friend
I really hope this bean sticks and all is well now for us
But I honestly could not have got through this journey without these buses. They have been a godsend for me and I've been so so happy when I've seen others BFPs -especially when it's a long timer. I will be sticking around and lurking until my fellow long timers left get their bfps for sure.
Sorry this is so long but I hope someone finds it useful
