To all my buddies:
You are the first to know that I got a :BFP: today!!! I just can't believe it as I stare at the Amazon strip! In fact, I was ready to try this plan if it didn't work out this month: https://www.pregnancyloss.info/sperm_meets_egg_plan.htm
If it worked for me with my hypothyroidism and the most irregular AF's (CD24-CD40 - so this time around I was awaiting AF btwn. Jan 22-Feb 7 <Dec. completely threw me off>!), I know it will work for all of you, my dearest friends.
In case you wish to know, yet again, my hx./timeline and also what I did within the two months of trying...
- Got off BCP's October 2010 and began prenatal vits.
- A few weeks later, added calcium (really I only take half the dose)
- DH used condoms until end of Nov. 2011 (sorry TMI)
- Joined BnB in Dec. 2011, our first cycle - thank God for you, and all your advice!
- Went on a three week trip to the other side of the world where it was quite difficult to BD in ice cold rooms (no heating inside), and in between travels. It was not easy to temp, and try to use the OPK's which I began using, irregularly from CD 8.
- I did NOT pay much attention to CM at all.
- Added a daily Vit. C probably November 2011?
- Had no idea what my LP is or anything like that and was automatically afraid it was short, but per some BnB member suggestions, added Vit. B6 by the end of Dec. 2011 to try to lengthen it.
- Tried to relax, despite almost EVERYONE asking when we plan to have a baby and that it's time and next time we need to return with a baby...
- Didn't get a chance to log in to BnB at all but definitely thought of all my buddies
Symptoms:-
- Sore boobs starting CD 22 which instead of lasting two days followed by AF has now lasted 12 days - currently still sore - remember I mentioned that DH said he'd have to buy helmets for my boobs, that's because I screamed every time he brushed against them!
- Stupid head cold that began 1.5 days ago and I have a fever for the past two days - coughing started last night
- My lower left wisdom tooth has been killing me since the same time I started this head cold! I just want to RIP IT OUT!!! Does this mean that I cannot get the tooth extracted? I wonder how long it's going to hurt because it's terrible
- Hunger and nausea although i haven't eaten anything since mid-day yesterday because in a way I have hunger, but no desire to eat d/t my tooth pain and cold
- Bit of constipation - but could be because of my travel/body still adjusting!
Randomly checked today which would have been post Ov. Day 10, and that is, IF I even read the OPK correctly the morning of 01/24 - it appeared positive but the line, which was darker than other days, was def. not as dark as the test line. There were days that OPK didn't even have a faint line to it. It was negative the evening of 01/24 so I don't even know what that meant!
Have NO OB/GYN - in fact need to get on the govt. ins. to make an appt. - yea, I wouldn't do that if someone gave me a part-time/full-time job by now but jobs are scarce here!
No idea if what I'm taking is bad - but I've been taking tylenol and also using Orajel for the tooth pain, several times daily and also Zicam to try to nip the cold in the bud - didn't work.
Don't know who else to tell!!! I know usually it's a three month wait before an official announcement is made but who would you tell?
Have no idea how many day(s) it is or anything and since I don't believe it 100% although the BFP happened within 5 seconds of pee-immersion (did wait 5 mins before I did the actual read) - will need to take another test in a day or two...
Can't help but think - what are the chances of a m/c?
Okay, so now what...what
do I do next?!!
Thankful for a day of rest.
Seriously, is there really something in there?!!! I'm probably going to repeat the test again soon, just in case.
(but hope not!), but the timing is really bad 
Of course first they would want to do a consult with x-rays, then to set up a second appt. where they'd hopefully extract the tooth! I'll look to see if there are any other dental clinics who can help me out at a low-cost...
every other day, but don't make it a chore, and don't worry if you skip/miss a day...I was very paranoid in Dec 2011 - plus had every symptom in the book!!! Made sure though to BD the very day I thought I saw a + OPK, and the day after.
got me yesterday CD 2 for me now. Feeling really sad today
