After 8 cycles...BFP!!! I can't believe it!
Things I did differently this month (since I always loved reading this):
I drank green tea like crazy, the unsweetened kind that was real potent. I also used OPK's along with my CBEFM fertility monitor to narrow down my window even more. Probably a little obsessive, but it seems to have worked. We had sex two days prior to O and the day after. That's about it. I'm thinking maybe April is my month since that is when I conceived DS three years ago almost to the day!
I had a couple of early symptoms that had me thinking this may be my cycle:
Lower back pain since 5dpo, mild cramping for approx. one week which I never get before AF, sore boobs starting at 8dpo, but now have completely disappeared and they are just very full looking. I had IB the last time I was pregnant, but no trace this time around.
I want to say thank you for all the laughs, the great advice and constant support! Although I'm still considered a newbie, I have lurked for quite sometime and tried to post as fequently as possible. You are truly a bunch of wonderful ladies who all deserve a BFP! I want to say a special thanks to all the ladies on TFAS...I hope to see you all soon on First Tri. I will miss our weekly check-in's, but will definitely be keeping an eye out for your BFP announcements!!!
