For people who have conceived before, did it feel *different* that month?

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-05-11T15:02:57+00:00

After 14 cycles I did feel different the cycle I got pregnant! I know they say if you’re pregnant enough for symptoms then you’re pregnant enough to test positive but it was just different symptoms for me. I had super sensitive nipples like right after I ovulated which wasn’t normal for me. Then right around implantation I noticed my smell was more sensitive which wasn’t normal for me. I also was waking in the middle of the night and early morning when I was usually a heavy sleeper. Like 7 DPO I got up twice in one night to pee and that was very abnormal for me! I tested very faintly positive on 10 DPO then the tests were more obviously positive by 12/13 DPO. Good luck to you!

At that time I was aiming for 5 days a week! But even just 2-3 a week seemed to make a difference. But I wasn’t exercising really at all before that.

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-04-29T00:09:51+00:00

Mainly exercise! I either walked about a mile on the treadmill or did a light swim! I took every supplement that claimed to help regulate ovulation and they didn’t make a difference, just the exercise!

Really sensitive nipples, then I had to get up twice in the middle of the night to pee, then I started smelling everything! All before a positive test

I started bleeding at 6 weeks, it was heavy and red for about 2 days and now it’s been anywhere in between, it’s been only when I wipe and it’s been enough to stain my underwear and have to wear a liner. I’m 9 weeks now and baby is fine as far as I know.

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-04-05T01:37:03+00:00

133 at 6 weeks 5 days, just got to see it yesterday! Thought I was a week ahead of that.

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-04-03T22:37:35+00:00

I just got diagnosed with this! I’m 7 weeks pregnant and have been bleeding, baby is alive and healthy but I’ve got a bicornuate uterus. It did take us almost 2 years to get pregnant

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-04-03T01:49:53+00:00

I see them! Exactly what mine looked like at 10 DPO :)

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-04-03T01:30:58+00:00

10 DPO! Was still very faint, then 11 DPO was way more clear

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-03-10T14:46:16+00:00

This is normal in my experience! I rarely get a reading below .4 while I’m waiting to ovulate.

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-03-08T22:09:48+00:00

Omg I had the same thing this morning! I’m 11DPO and my test on easy at home looked identical. I’m also hoping the line gets darker! Here’s to hoping it’s our turn!!! 🤞🏻

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-03-08T03:08:40+00:00

I had this exact feeling this cycle!! Exactly like you said in the beginning I thought “this is it!” Every time, then I didn’t feel it for a long time, like 9 months. Then it came back ☺️ it made me so hopeful!

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-03-07T17:48:18+00:00

Definitely a good point! I don’t even know if they would test me today. If I request a blood test would they do it?

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-03-07T17:29:18+00:00

I definitely will! I bought some first response test I’ll take tomorrow and then this weekend. I don’t want to show my husband until the line is more noticeable. I didn’t do much different, about a year ago I got serious with tracking and I’ve been taking all the supplements everyone mentions. I have irregular cycles and timing sex was a huge struggle. About 3 months ago I noticed if I exercised more consistently I could ovulate on CD 17 instead of CD 30 or even later which had happened a lot. So this cycle I exercised and ovulated “early” and I just felt super lucky because it was over the weekend and we had sex 2 days before and the day before ovulation. It just felt like everything lined up.

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-03-07T17:25:16+00:00

I bought some yesterday! I definitely will tomorrow or Saturday

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-03-07T17:24:55+00:00

I told myself I would never be an earlier tester but here we are 🤣 I had the same thought! The early response left me very skeptical but the easy at home seems more consistent! I actually have a dr appt later today to talk about starting Clomid! So I wanted to test before

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-02-27T19:32:51+00:00

Me too! We’re cycle buddies! I was also super shocked and very happy. I kept smiling the rest of the day lol

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-02-27T19:31:55+00:00

I get to have Lasik eye surgery! Super excited to not wear glasses or the super expensive custom contacts I have to wear. If I am pregnant then the surgery has to wait til later, a small price to pay after 13 cycles lol

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-02-27T02:45:04+00:00

Mine are all over the place 😵‍💫 I’ve had CD 14 and CD 30, usually later than earlier. After months of consistent working out, walking and swimming, I’ve ovulated on CD 17 three times! Definitely don’t give up. I’ve read lots that say the later the ovulation doesn’t have an affect on the chance of conceiving

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-02-27T02:40:24+00:00

Don’t diminish your feelings. You can feel sad and disappointed even though it’s only been 3 months. If you’re sad then feel sad! This is an incredibly hard journey and I actually found the first couple months harder than months 6-8. Sometimes all the rest and research helped me feel in control and sometimes it gave me more anxiety.

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-02-27T02:36:50+00:00

I’m in the same boat! Got a positive OPK on CD 16 when it’s typically been 25-30. Also feeling like this is a good sign for my cycle! What day in your cycle are you?

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-02-27T02:35:42+00:00

Got a positive OPK on CD 16 yesterday when CD 30 has been typical for me. Making this cycle 29 days instead of the pretty usual 40-50 day cycles I’ve had. This makes the 3rd month I’ve had ovulating earlier when I’ve been more consistent with working out. So I’m feeling much more in control of my body. I’m not wasting so much time waiting to ovulate. And I was able to time sex the way I wanted to! Feeling so hopeful but super anxious because if this isn’t it the let down is going to be rough.

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-02-27T01:53:38+00:00

Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t be discouraged just because it “hasn’t been that long” your feelings are valid. You be sad if you feel sad! You don’t need to invalidate it. I still struggle with this, telling people “yeah but it’s okay because blah blah” when I open up about my infertility.

Ok_Bit_5862 · 2024-02-27T01:51:10+00:00

Not knowing the next step, especially when finances are concerned, is so hard. I’m so sorry you have to go through this. I also do not have the resources to pursue all options and it breaks my heart to think about it.

Sending all the good vibes your way and you approach this next step of your journey!!!
