Alright ladies, I know yall have been quiet and so have I. I just wanted to take a break from TTC forums during my unmedicated cycle. But, I just wanted to come back and give you ladies and update, we received a Christmas miracle and got our BFP Christmas morning! I had my first beta yesterday and it was 154! I go back for my second on Monday.
here's what I did and how I was feeling leading up to my BFP. I'm pretty sure that i ovulated on 12/10, CD13 as that was the darkest my OPKs got. We BD every other day after AF ended and used preseed and soft cups and that's about it. I didn't want to stress myself out this cycle so we didn't pull out all the stops. And because of that "sexytime" (as my DH calls it haha), was more enjoyable, less stressful and not like a chore. As for how I was feeling prior to my BFP, 12/19 I started getting heart burn and nausea every night and I didn't think much of it. Then my boobs started hurting and felt very heavy, again didn't think anything of it since my past few cycles they have started hurting right before my period. Then now that I think about it I've been exhausted, but I've been blaming it on the holiday and trying to get our house ready for hosting christmas. And the last thing, I started having vivid dreams/nightmares, one even being that I got a positive pregnancy test and my sister called me 20mins after to tell me she was pregnant, so strange. So that's about it. The reason I ended up testing on 12/25 is because that's when AF was due and I woke up very nauseous and ended up puking. So, looking back at my symptoms, I was a ding dong for not catching on, but I guess that's what happens after 16 bfn's! I hope this helps, I know everyone's different. Just please stay positive and 2015 will be your year!
