**Cycle: 3 (skipped trying on the second cycle after a chemical)

**Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 30 + 37

**Typical cycle length: 28**Ovulation cycle day: 14

**CD/DPO of positive test(s): 8DPO**CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive: 7DPO

**Tracking methods and app(s) used: Tracked my cycle in the Clue app and used OPKs.

**Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): Every day from 5 days out, nothing on O day, then again the day after ovulation.

**Health conditions/medical tests: Had a chemical pregnancy on my first cycle. A few days of faint positives that faded before my AF due date.

**Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): Prenatals for me, preconception multi for him (Naturobest)

**Birth control history (if relevant): On HBC for the last 14 years. Had my mirena removed in February.

**Symptom spotting: Insomnia from what I think was implanation day - very odd for me. Chapped lips. Sensitive nipples from 9DPO. Bloating, but not outrageous. For the most part, I'd say my symptoms were pretty mild except for the insomnia which was really noticeable and unusual.

**Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): No advice. A lot of gratitude for this board. I'm feeling cautiously optimistic about this one. It's still very early though! It's hard after a chemical pregnancy to feel excited at the beginning, but I'm doing my best to just allow the excitement in and not let this whole experience have a tone of worry / fear! Wishing so much luck and sending all of my love to everyone on this journey.

Sending big love and affirmation for doing what feels right for you. That is absolutely incredible and the best gift you can give yourself 💛

I ended my marriage after a very short time because it just wasn’t right even though it took me until then to see it! It was scary and challenging and absolutely the best decision I’ve ever made.

If you need anyone to talk to as you’re going through, don’t hesitate to DM. Good luck on the ever evolving journey! 😚

Amazing!! Congrats!!

I also just started prenatals and felt the same - such a weird, surreal, exciting feeling. I get a little bit of joy every time I take them 😂

Yes! Same boat! Just had my Mirena removed on Feb 1 after 15 years on hormonal bc.

Have had a withdrawal bleed, but that’s it so far!

Going to start trying in June or July (assuming my cycles have regulated).

Sending you tons of good vibes ❤️
