Hello ladies,
Been TTC for 8 months and finally have my BFP!! Every month Ive been google-ing like crazy, trying new stuff, and feeling lots of different things. Now when my ttc journey is over, I would like to share with you my story, maybe it would help some of you. The most important thing Ive learned is that WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT!!! There is no rule when it comes to ttc, it takes a different amount of time for each of us, it takes different methods, there is NO miracle product that works for everybody.
The second thing Ive learned is that 'just relax' is bullshit and the worst advice you can give/receive. Yeah, of course, stress doesnt bring anything good in your life, but for some, having a baby needs to be more than just having sex. You need to actually TTC and to understand what is happening with your body in order to have that BFP, which for me is not equal with stress but more with implication/dedication.
Anyway, I think the most important thing when ttc is to use ovulation tests, apps are not accurate. Ive been taking prenatal supplements forever now, DH only took them for 1 month, having my legs in the air every single month, eating healthy, having 1 glass of grapefruit juice every day and taking evening primrose oil to help with my CM, eating pineapple core or brazil nuts in my TWW, tried conceive plus lube, different positions, different days or hours, keeping my feets warm, relaxing, not relaxing...nothing worked.But glad that I tried because that was the only way of finding out what the problem is . This month we dtd 3 days in a row (day of ov, 1 day before, 2 days before) nothing before that , nothing after and using Preseed lube. Now this is definitely NOT a miracle product that fix all the fertility issues, but if you notice you dont produce EWCM please try it. I knew my cm is not the best but tried to resolve that with EPO without luck.So now I m one of the people saying that Ive got my BFP first month of using this.For me its not a coincidence, but keep it mind, it only works if you have issues with your CM.
Now when it comes to early symptoms, the only thing I felt in my TWW was pressure in my uterus 4-5 DPO.It was not pain and not even cramps but just a feeling like doing many many sit-ups or having a full bladder for the whole day. 10 dpo is when my period type cramps started so I was sure my af is around the corner.BFN 9, 10, 11 DPO...faint line on IC at 12dpo, clear bfp on FRER and clear blue at 13 dpo.
Was very very hungry at 13 dpo, 14dpo hungry and exhaustion.
15 dpo my nipples are extremely sensitive, never felt something like this, is so different from my PMS symptoms.17 dpo today and I cant touch my nipples it hurts so bad. Still hungry and so tired. Thats all...the months Ive felt everything it was BFN for me.
Wish you all good luck and hung up in there, its not easy I know but it is not impossible and you can do that!!!!!
