Hi girlies 
I got my BFP on Saturday, after 5 months of TTC and 9 months of horrible spotting, late ovulation and really long cycles since coming off bcp (and only 5 AFs in that time period). Woo!
In case it's of any use, I put this together for all those TWW obsessors like me! xxx
Things I did differently this month:
Didnt believe my iPhone app which was predicting when I ovulated trusted my body instead. Waited a week later than every other month because there wasnt enough CM for me to believe I was ovulating soon definitely glad I waited! Held off going crazy BD-ing and wearing DH out until I definitely had EWCM (CD26), then BDd every day for the next three days. Believe that I ovulated on the night of the third day was also using OPKs and had a positive for each of those three days! Also BDd in this pattern the week before (from CD22): BD, BD, BD, night off, BD, BD, BD (ovulation). Before that, over the rest of the month, tried to BD every other day though did have a few two-night gaps when I was sure I was nowhere near ovulating. FYI, I am pretty sure I Od on Fri 6th May, CD28. My temps went up after that!
Big one almost forgot to mention it. Used Pre-Seed the three days we BDd leading up to and including ovulation! DH didnt even know about it, used it internally, with the applicator, in the bathroom before coming in to bed!
Also tried the old Robitussin cough mixture (the red one, containing an expectorant Guaifenesin) in the week leading up to O to improve consistency and quantity of EWCM
Vitamins took 100mg tabs of B6 once a day for whole month, but stopped at day of O. Also took multi-vitamin (Pregnacare Conception) so was probably getting around 110mg of B6 a day. Got a bit freaked out by that so stopped dead on O and just went back to the usual one-a-day vit!
TRIED not to get too stressed out. Ha! But we all know how hard that is!!! ;-)
Symptoms:
0dpo temp 36.0 (had been between 35.8C and 36.0 for a week prior). Two dark lines days before O, but darkest line on OPK yet on this day!
1dpo temp 36.3, still positive OPK at 7pm (three days after first one). Still some EWCM.
2dpo temp 36.4, slightly sore throat on waking, twingey pain on left side of womb. Almost like a flutter (believe this couldve been egg releasing?). Also, a bit gassy and have really bad skin (have been suffering from acne like a teenager for past two weeks or so, grrr! Usually completely clear!). Also have slightly greasy hair and light cramps/tender bbs.
3dpo temp 36.3, greasy hair and bad skin continues, very sleepy. Hungry hippo ALL the time with lots of cravings for sweet things (very unusual for me as Im a definite savoury girl!) Feeling really moody, irritable and taking it out on DH! Light cramps and slight headache too.
4dpo temp 36.3, woke up hungry at 7am with stuffy nose and phlegmy throat. Hungry all day again, especially for chocolate. How odd! Mouth ulcer on gum ouch! Feeling moody again in the evening poor DH!
5dpo Terrible nights sleep! Hot flashes, night sweats, kept waking up, vivid dreams. Very tired. Slight temp dip at 4am, 36.2C back up to 36.4C by 7am. Slight bloating, cramps and backaches.
6dpo temp 36.3, tired yawning all the time. Burping a lot too! Nice! Still feel full and bloated, some EWCM which is unusual at this stage after O. Feel very hot under my skin like Im getting ill or a fever. Very tired. Had to leave the awards ceremony I was at, at 11pm because I was tired and yawning! Slightly bloated and still some EWCM.
7dpo temp 36.3 at 7am, but up to 36.6 an hour later. Very stuffy nose, same hot under skin feeling. Few cramps but nothing major. Throat feels thick and mouth ulcer sore. Very tired by 10pm had a few flutters in my belly, almost like a pulse, a couple of times during the evening (implanatation?). Light cramps and headache.
8dpo temp 36.3, very thick throat, very slight nausea (possibly because of thick throat). Had a bad dream. BDd for first time since O.
9dpo woke up to go to the toilet at 4.50am, very stuffy nose first thing (could be hayfever!). Temp 36.3 at 7am. Very achey but did play hockey yesterday! Mild craving (odd) for asparagus ate a whole bunch. Never do that! Feeling forgetful and a bit weepy. Slight cramps and aches all over. Slight tender bbs.
10dpo woke up to go to the toilet at 4.40am. Temp 36.3 at 7am. Felt very nauseous on way to work partly because of thick throat, but also really hungry even after muesli. Picking on random things/snacks eg. A McDonalds caramel milkshake. Never eat junk food! Had three diarroeah attacks in the afternoon and evening. Belly very bloated. Feel really cold and bit shivery in bed. Slight backaches, bodyaches, tender bbs.
11dpo Woke up to go to the toilet at 5am and couldnt get back to sleep. Temp 36.3 at 7am, a little faint and shaky having to stand up on tube this morning. Starving! Three more diarroeah attacks throughout the day. Could smell steak from a restaurant really strongly on walk home! Eyes a little sore and sensitive with contact lenses in. Feel very wet down there.
12dpo woke up at 2.41am really thirsty downed a glass of water. Diarroeah attack first thing (6am), slightly nauseous/hungry after that and a bit cold and shivery in bed. Temp 36.4 at 7am. Really tired for whole day, eyes sore. Cricked my neck stroking the cat in a lot of pain! Huge massive flutters on right side of womb at 8.30pm beating like a pulse. Could even see it through the skin! Lasted about half an hour. Weird!
13dpo temp 36.7 at 7am higher than ever before! Absolutely starving at 8am. Slept very deeply, but did wake at 5.22am to go to toilet. Stuffy nose on awakening. Tummy very swollen and tender, lots of toilet trips throughout the day! Thirsty too drinking loads of water.
14dpo temp 36.6 at 7am, unheard of. LP usually around 10 or 11 days! Starting to feel hopeful now. Hungry and a bit nauseous (because of hunger) first thing.
15dpo temp 36.5 at 6am, woke up, did FMU in a pot, but was very sleepy so left it in bathroom and went back to sleep for another two hours. How did we resist it?!!! I dont even know! Then woke up again, went back into bathroom, tested using Clearblue Digital. Immediate result PREGNANT 2-3!!!!!!!!!!! BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
