Trying To Conceive

Birthdays · Dec 19th, 2007, 17:04 PM

Ok ladies, I've done a load of tests and I'm definitely pregnant. I posted a few days ago but wanted to wait a bit longer before announcing it properly.

Things I did differently this month:
-This was my 2nd month using the clearblue fertility monitor (I would recommend it), it told me exactly when my peak fertility day was (cd20)
-We only did the deed once and that was on my peak day as dh was on a stag for 4 days previous. I think he had a good store of swimmers when he got back
-I lay in bed and went to sleep, so nothing escaped, I also put my legs up of the headboard for about 10 minutes
-I drank loads of water throughout the month, I don't have much cm and I found this increased it slightly! I also felt better and more energetic just from drinking 2 litres a day!
-I said a little prayer to St Gerard on the advice of my mother as she knew I was ttc (he's the patron saint of motherhood)
-I was also on antibiotics for the first week of the month for a water infection, I think they may have given my system a boost! I was on antibiotics when I got my BFP with dd!
-I have a short Leautal Phase and have been taking pregnacare which contains B6

My symptoms were:

-Nothing at all until about 7 days past ov, when I had a slight headache on and off
-8 days past ov, sensations in my (.)(.), but not painful and it only lasted for a few minutes-I wouldn't even have noticed had I not been symptom spotting
-10 days past ov, the most horrible af cramps that kept me awake. It was like contractions, they would come and go. I think this was implantation as I had shooting pains down below as well
-Definetely felt alot wetter down below (tmi) with increased cm (not loads), but there is normally nothing before af

I hope this has been a bit of help, because I like to know how people got there BFP and what there symptoms were. I really didn't think it was my month. I really really hope all you ladies get your BFP soon, you are all so lovely and helpful.

Baby dust to all
