This wasn't planned. I am 39 and DH is 44, our other kids are 22, 19, and 15. ...but we are very happy. And scared!

1-3 DPO: Nothing except a feeling after realizing we flat-out forgot to pull during O week.

4-6 DPO: Kept feeling like I was coming down with a cold

7-8 DPO: PMS like cramps way down low, tired, hint of nausea, a pimple at the wrong time of the month, many dreams of dead relatives, increased sense of smell started at 8 DPO and so did aversions to some spices and coffee.

9 DPO: PMS like cramps, tons of EWCM when should have been pretty dry, short of breath, tired, 1 bad nausea spell, sharp pain in groin

10-12 DPO: milder than PMS but noticeable cramps, pulling pains, groin aches, boobs hurt in a different way than they do in PMS, they felt more burny and ripping and they area around them ached, like the pits and top of the chest), increasing nausea and smell aversions, very tired and napping a lot, noticed a darkening and widening of the nipples. At 11 DPO I passed two small brownish red flecks. I also did not get PMS acne or sweet cravings and although I started getting emotional and moody it was different than the way PMS moods develop for me. Usually I am sad for a few days than irritable for a few. This time it was all mixed together. I had a headache during these days as well. AT 12 DPO I noticed my insides felt...thicker.

13 DPO: My dog sniffed my crouch and then started humping the air. I know this is really weird, but nothing like that ever happned before and although I did feel fairly violated (haha) it was the last straw. I was going to wait a few more days but instead held my pee for 6 hours and got a BFP on a FRER. At least I have an excuse for that bizarre interaction. >_<

1- 4DPO - creamy CM, bbs not really sore (kind of unusual for me)
5DPO- creamy CM, slightly sore bbs (usually get more soreness from ovulation until AF),
6-8 DPO - creamy CM, heartburn, sore bbs, exhausted but not sleeping well (woke up a few times a night)
9DPO- creamy CM, heartburn, woke up extremely early and couldn't fall back asleep (strange for me), took a pregnancy test and think I see a faint line. Will test again tomorrow!
10DPO- heartburn, tired but couldn't sleep past 5am! (Very strange for me), took more Wondfo's and they were a little darker, took a digital test this evening and it confirmed pregnant!!

This month I used Evening Primrose Oil before I ovulated and SoftCups for the first time. So excited! to you all!

Congratulations!! Love your story about your dog! Haha too funny. Also making me wonder, because a couple of days ago my cat did a similar thing. She starting sniffing my groin area and then purring, running up against me and then she actually started licking my pyjama pants! Haha I thought she was just being a weirdo but maybe it's a good sign!

Hey ladies, I got my at 8 dpo!!! So excited for my second baby!!!

As for details, this was our second cycle trying for baby #2. I took evening primrose oil every day up until ovulation, I moved to vaginal temping this cycle (since I sleep with my mouth open it affected my temps) and we used Preseed and Soft Cups after BD. I always injected amount of Preseed as recommended in the instructions, and laid down for at least 20 minutes after BD. First, on my front and then on my back (I have a slightly tilted uterus).

Also, side note - I STILL don't have sore BBs, so it is NOT a prerequisite to being pregnant to have sore boobs!

 

[Solstyce]

My bf and I have been TTC for 14 months now and I finally just gave up and decided to relax and not try so hard anymore. If it happens, then great.

So my last AF started on April 9th and is usually a 25 cycle, pretty much like clock work. Well this one time I didn't use my CBFM, so I have no idea when I O'd, but I felt the O cramps on day 13...which is pretty normal for me. Well, today is day 32 and still no sign of AF. I've had light cramps on and off, which made me think maybe she was coming on, but nothing. I have NEVER been this late before. I did take a Target brand test at 2 days late and it was bfn. I read that it's best to test 1 week after AF is due, so I am waiting until tomorrow morning to test again.

I have had headaches, sore throat, been really hungry and exhausted...but this all can be attributed to so many other things. I also started taking Vitex about 2 months ago, which may have messed up my cycle. And I have been thru a lot of stress lately. So I'm trying not to get too hopeful. I guess we'll see tomorrow morning.
