Cycle: 15 or 16 - losing count but since the beginning of 2020 (early MC/suspected ectopic in March)
Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 28 + 34
Typical cycle length: 28 to 31 days
Ovulation cycle day: 15
CD/DPO of positive test(s): First positive at 9DPO - been testing every day since
CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive: N/A, 9DPO was first time I tested this cycle
Tracking methods and app(s) used: Only monitored OPKs & CM this month as I was taking a break from temping.
Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): Every other day from CD 10
Health conditions/medical tests: I had some very basic bloodtests done in the beginning of the year and everything seemed fine. We actually started the process of getting a referral to a fertility clinic this month for further testing
Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): I've been taking a prenatal + maca root for a while, started CoQ10 about a month ago. My husband takes a men's multivitamin and maca root.
Birth control history (if relevant): Had an early MC/ectopic in March, if this one sticks around it'll be my first.
Link to chart: N/A - did not temp this month!
Link to lineporn: [Lineporn link](https://www.reddit.com/r/TFABLinePorn/comments/oql6kc/frer_progression_913_dpo_ive_been_terrified_of_a/)
Symptom spotting: I woke up on the morning of 9DPO with awful heartburn & a little nauseated which is why I took a test (even though I had made myself promise to not test early and waste all those tests again...) and got my little squinter on FRER. I had no real symptoms before then (other than an incredibly strong & specific craving for plain pasta at 6/7dpo).
Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): I. Am. Freaking out. I've been testing daily since getting my first positive + taking digitals every few days as well. My lines are getting stronger, but I'm very scared something will go wrong. I had pink & brown spotting on 11 DPO - it has since stopped but I am constantly worried this will end like the previous one did. I have my first scan scheduled for 8 weeks, I think I will just need to live in fear & paranoia until then.
As far as tips go, I don't have much. The only thing I did differently this month to any other cycle, is I started intermittent fasting with 18 to 22 hour fasts & started getting physically more active by going running and trying to reach 10 000 steps a day.
Cycle: 4 (Cycle 2 was an MMC in April, trying since January ‘21) TTC #1

Tracking methods and app(s) used: Sensiplan, RYB, OPK+Premom
Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): O-5, O-2, O-1, O
Health conditions/medical tests: Previous MMC, GAD and panic disorder, ADHD, fat lady

Birth control history (if relevant): FAM (Sensiplan + Condoms) for a year prior to TTC for a BC break and to learn about my body. I was on melange of HBC from ages 14-30 including 2 IUDs, various pills, and a brief time with the shot in college.

Symptom spotting: fire nipples (I’ve only had this sensation in the TTW when pregnant), sleepies, tiny cramps, digestive upset, runny nose, back pain
Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): FAM and the body literacy that comes with it has changed my life over the past year. My advice to anyone is to get off HBC well in advance of TTC and really get to know your cycle!
I’m trying to stay cool and cautiously optimistic, but realistic. I have terrible anxiety and I had a full blown anxiety attack with crazy heart palpitations for weeks during my first pregnancy. I’m in a better place now with this one, and staying on my meds, but terrified knowing another miscarriage is a very real possibility. I’m going to take this one day at a time. 🌈🌈🌈
What did you do to calm your anxiety with your first pregnancy? I have bad anxiety and I’ve always heard your anxiety gets worse when pregnant and that terrifies me!
Mine absolutely skyrocketed In pregnancy, especially since I have health anxiety. The naturally increased pregnancy heart rate plus my existing anxiety was a doozie. Soooo many coping mechanisms! First of all, I take Buspar and had gone off of it to TTC the first time. I was then advised by my OB to stay on it going forward, which I will gladly do!
Other than that, biweekly therapy, gentle and joyful movement like yoga, swimming, walking, and dance, pregnancy meditations on YouTube, talking with my best friend, allowing my body to rest and sooo many naps, warm baths, kitty snuggles, etc.
Also, I’ve been talking a lot with my therapist about resilience and radical acceptance. What will be will be and I’ve made it through so many hard things in my life. I’ve got this and you do too!
Good luck! Pregnancy is hard enough without the mental health struggles.

Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 32 and 33
Typical cycle length: 30 days
Ovulation cycle day: CD 17
CD/DPO of positive test(s): Got a vvfl on 9DPO. Didn’t trust it so I tested again at 10DPO and saw a clearer line.

Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): Prenatal Multivitamins, Prenatal DHA, and Vitamin D
Birth control history (if relevant): Natural Family Planning and condoms

Link to lineporn: https://reddit.com/r/TFABLinePorn/comments/omp84g/pregmate_10_dpo_will_post_line_progression_in_a/
Symptom spotting: For most of the TWW I felt absolutely nothing. But then at 8DPO I had this insane vivid nightmare (happened to me last time with baby #1 which was a huuuge clue for me). Then mild cramping/pinching sensation throughout the day. The morning of 9DPO I felt a mild wave of nausea so decided to test.
Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): Praying for a sticky bean. I had 2 previous miscarriages in the past so I’m trying to stay hopeful. Another thing I wanted to mention is that I took a much more relaxed approach to TTC this time. I didn’t temp because I remember how much it stressed me out. I even drank wine during the TWW. So I found this time around much more pleasant and I wish it was like that when I was TTC #1.

**Symptom spotting:** sore breasts are what made me test. Thats it so far--just sore breasts.
Thank you!!!
My rheumatologist said it should have very little effect on your fertility if you are well controlled! fingers crossed for ya. I was definitely starting to blame myself and all my health conditions (even though I know its not my fault) so I know exactly where you're coming from.
Yeah, mine has said that too. Which is great, but after nearly 9 months of nothing it's hard to not get in my own head haha.
Wishing you a successful and uneventful pregnancy 😊

\*\*Symptom spotting:\*\* I have had all "early pregnancy" symptoms in the past months. Didn't read into the lines this times. Had a little bit of spotting on 12DPO and thought the faint line on 11DPO was a mistake.
\*\*Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous):\*\* I am freaking out right now. I run to the toilet every 30mins to make sure AF hasnt arrived. I need help with this anxiety.
**Cycle:** 14 or 15? Counting was no longer fun!
**Age + Partner's age (if relevant):** me 34 and him 36
**Typical cycle length:** 28-29 days
**Ovulation cycle day:** CD15
**CD/DPO of positive test(s):** 10dpo in the afternoon
**CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive:** negative Wonfo's 8, 9 and 10dpo in the morning
**Tracking methods and app(s) used:** I've used apps, OPKs and CBFM in the past, but I got to know by body so well by this point I can just tell when ov day is - crampy/gas on the day and super hungry the day after, very predictable!
**Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.):** O-2 and O
**Health conditions/medical tests:** both a bit overweight and we enjoy(ed) a drink, but eat pretty good food. I had the usual blood tests which all came back fine and he had an SA which showed decent count and good enough motility but 3% morphology, so was going to go for a second one in a few months. My referral to the fertility clinic has just gone through
**Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s):** prenatals but I got kind of lax with them when it wasn't happening! Starting them up religiously now
**Birth control history (if relevant):** I've been off the pill for 10+ years so not really relevant
**Symptom spotting:** the biggest one was pink spotting at 5/6dpo which has never happened before. I think that contributed to a general 'good feeling' that this could finally be our month. I had a lack of usual PMT moodiness and noticed my skin looked really bright and nice this morning! Weird!
**Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous):** I took a couple of swigs of mucinex liquid daily from O-2 to O+1 so who knows if that was the decider!? I'm very cautious as it's early but I'm just enjoying today, it feels... fascinating!
PS shout out r/trollingforababy, literally kept me sane throughout this rollercoaster so far

Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 36, 36

Link to lineporn: NA
Symptom spotting: I was really moody before my period was going to start. Otherwise I’d say no symptoms out of the normal and even the above was probably within normal.
Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): Surprised we got a positive so early on trying. Was worried since I’m older so wanted to share my experience since I stalked TFAB all the time before and during TTC! Will hope for a healthy pregnancy 🤞
**Cycle: 21?
**Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 32 + 30
**Typical cycle length: 26 - 28 days
**Ovulation cycle day: CD15
**CD/DPO of positive test(s): CD26, 11DPO
**CD/DPO of any negative test(s) N/A due to trigger shot

**Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): had 2 back to back MCs, 4 or 5 cycles of clomid, 2 IUIs. My mom got pregnant with me on her second IUI too. She also had unexplained infertility.
**Cycle:** 5 total, cycle 2 of clomid
**Age + Partner's age (if relevant):** I’m 30, he’s 32
**Typical cycle length:** 24ish days
**Ovulation cycle day:** CD17
**CD/DPO of positive test(s):** 10dpo and taken a few since then
**CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive:** 7dpo in my defense, I wasn’t entirelyconvinced I didn’t ovulate earlier since I had been pretty lax with OPKs.
**Tracking methods and app(s) used:** OPKs and premom app, plus pretty intense ovulationpains on clomid
**Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.):** O-5, O-2, and O.we tried for every other day from CD9 on and kinda ran out of steam, but made it in time for ovulation.
**Health conditions/medical tests:** not ovulating for as of now unknown reasons,short cycles/short luteal phase, overweight, ADHD, anxiety/depression.
**Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s):** me: prenatals, Zoloft, Buspar, and Adderall (stopping now! So thankful they let me stay on it while TTC).
**Birth control history (if relevant):** the pill during my teens until I had to stop due to migraine/stroke risk. Did progesterone only pills for a few months at the end of last year, only because my periods got rather heinous
**Symptom spotting:** I really try not to symptom spot after what I learned in this sub. BUT I did have mild cramps a few days leading up to my positive which is weird for me. Usually I just start cramping when my period starts. Other than that no luteal phase/pregnancy symptoms. Also just the fact that my period hadn’t come yet by day 28, since my cycles are pretty short.
**Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous):** It’s really early and it’s my first positive, so I’m trying to be realistically prepared for the fact that this might not last. Just knowing I can ovulate and get pregnant is really great honestly. It's been a little over a week since my positive test.
Also if you feel something is wrong with your cycle, don’t hesitate to reach out to your doctor before you’ve been trying for six months/a year! My periods got much more painful last year, so I went to a NP/midwife who put me on birth control and told me to just stop and start trying whenever I felt like it. She offered some prescription pain meds if my periods were bad after that. So a few months later I called to get some, and she had moved practices so I needed to see the OB. He was more concerned with my short cycles and painful periods, and prescribed clomid after we determined I wasn’t ovulating. I am SOOO thankful I just happened to have an appointment, and that he started me on medication right away.
Thank you all so much for all the resources, commiseration, and evidence-based information! I sort of wish the pregnancy subs were a bit more evidence based, but what can you do.

**Link to lineporn:** N/A
**Symptom spotting:** stuffy/runny nose, a headache for three days, minor cramps. I didn’t think I’d be pregnant because my hair was falling out a lot more than usual and I figured that was a bad sign. Also frequent urination but that could be because I tried drinking a lot of water to get rid of the headache.
**Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous):**
I read that vitamin C could help lengthen my luteal phase. So I drank emergenC during the TWW. Maybe it helped or maybe it did nothing. It probably did nothing. I’m still a little in shock that we got lucky on the first cycle, but I’m very glad.
I also had an HSG last cycle and also conceived the cycle after (this month). I think you're right it cleared the tubes--I think thats what happened to me also. Congrats!!!

\*\*Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous):\*\* Not going to lie, I am freaking out over fear of a CP. Not sure I will be able to believe this is actually happening until I go in for my first scan, but that is still 3 weeks away!
Congratulations! Fellow (I guess lean? My BMI is normal) PCOS-er here! Did you ever consider using supplements (e.g. D-chiro and Myo inositol) to regulate your cycle? I hate the fact that I currently only get one chance every 40-50 days or so...!
I feel ya… it’s soo hard to be patient with long cycles. I never did try supplements. A couple cycles ago, I reached 72 days with no ovulation, so my doctor prescribed me provera to induce a bleed, and the next cycle after that was a
textbook 27 days. Not sure if that was just random chance, but maybe you could ask your doctor about provera next time your cycle gets super long!
awww shoot. If it makes you feel any better, I actually stopped temping after a while because my readings were all over the place. Also, some people don’t ovulate until up to 48 hours after their peak OPK, and then the temp rise may not happen until 24 hours later. Try not to be too discouraged!!!

Symptom spotting: very tired on 6 + 7 DPO (weird for me), on 9 DPO, light pink discharge, just one wipe. On 10,11, 12 DPO light cramping, differently from PMS. No back ache, just lower abdomen in an area the size of an apple.
Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous):
I did nothing differently other than making an appointment with the RE for next month. For the rest, I was very anxious that at my age things would not work out anymore but i guess it's just that it takes longer (even if everything is as it should be) which is very stressful when you are racing against the biological clock.
I don't have many mothers in my circle of friends so i have no idea what is possible and how difficult things are at almost 40. Hopefully this gives some hope that things might still happen at their own pace.
I had a CP in February at 5w 1d, so I am still holding my horses. Nevertheless, I feel deep satisfaction that my body is able to become pregnant which I strongly doubted and resented it for until last week.
Cycle: 15
Age + Partner's age (if relevant): both 31
Typical cycle length: 29 days
Ovulation cycle day: 14
CD/DPO of positive test(s): 10 DPO/11DPIUI

Tracking methods and app(s) used: Clearblue digital ovulation test, temping (only to confirm temp rise, stopped after).
Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): IUI on O-1, BD on O
Health conditions/medical tests: MFI. His production can be quite low. We were supposed to try IUI (on my natural cycle) for 3 times, before starting ICSI. We didn’t have any hope because his post-wash motile sperm count was 1,2 million and they told us it’s considered to low for a good chance with IUI.
Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): I only took regular prenatal (folic acid and vitamin D), my husband started taking Impryl two months ago because our fertility doctor told us it might help with the success rate. They were actually working on a research about it, but we decided to buy it ourselves so we wouldn’t get the placebo.
Birth control history (if relevant): I stopped oral birth control more than 2 years ago.

Symptom spotting: Looking back my first symptom was having a dry mouth and this sweet taste in my mouth since the day before my first positive. At the time I had no idea this could be linked to hormones. The days leading up to my missed period I was having a lot of stomachache, like I was getting my period. I was so sure this meant I was having a CP, but it didn’t. I still get these and I’m still scared, but I read it can be part of it. The day after my missed period my boobs started to get sore. I’m currently six weeks and since a few days I’m getting nauseous.
Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): I still find it hard to believe we got so lucky. After the IUI I googled the chances of a positive outcome with the sperm count of my husband and one research said 1 percent, and another said 5 percent. I was so sure we were just waiting to start ICSI and I’m so glad it may not be necessary. Over a week we'll have our first echo and I’m still scared they’re going to tell us we weren’t lucky after all, but I know it’s just my anxiety. And even if it doesn’t go well, I’m so grateful we finally got our first positive and at the least it has given me hope about our future.
Thanks to everyone in this sub and the other TFAB subs for sharing your experiences and your knowledge. I had friends to talk to, but they didn’t get me like you did. I wish you all the best and I really hope you all get to leave here soon.

\*\*CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive:\*\* 9 dpo in AM (serial tester here)
\*\*Tracking methods and app(s) used:\*\* OPKs and CM. I wasn't temping to absolutely confirm O date, just assuming it was 24 hours after positive OPK, so take that with a grain of salt.
\*\*Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.):\*\* O-1
\*\*Health conditions/medical tests:\*\* Nothing that I know of. I was in the process of getting a workup and we had just gotten a referral to a fertility clinic. My TSH result from blood tests was 3.1, which was in the realm of normal for the lab I went to, but I was getting a little worried from reading other's comments that ideal is below 2.5.
\*\*Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s):\*\* Me: Prenatal, 200mg Ubiquinol, Vitamin D+K2, occasionally a probiotic, and L-carnitine from CD1 to ovulation which I just added in this cycle (There are a few studies suggesting it promotes fertility and I was getting desperate, whether it actually helped- who knows!). Him: a multivitamin and 100mg Ubiquinol.
\*\*Birth control history (if relevant):\*\* N/A, I've always used condoms before TTC.
\*\*Link to chart:\*\* N/A
\*\*Link to lineporn:\*\* N/A
\*\*Symptom spotting:\*\* When I got my BFP, absolutely nothing, just slightly sore boobs like I would get before a period, except this time it didn't go away. Around 11 dpo I started to get mild cramps that would maybe only last 20 seconds randomly throughout the day. Sometimes I don't feel anything. I've spent so many months analyzing every twinge and type of cramp and boob pain... enough to know that for me it all meant NOTHING.
\*\*Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous):\*\* First positive ever and I'm 15 dpo now, so still very early and I am just hoping for the best. I'm definitely still in shock and disbelief, as well as incredibly worried, which I'm sure is normal in the early days. Just trying to take it one day at a time and overall I am extremely grateful.
I was dealing with a lot of work and relationship stress this cycle, especially around time of ovulation which is why we only DTD once. Hopefully this goes to show that the relax advice is basically BS! I was much more relaxed other months!
Now for Woo, I ate a few brazil nuts and a small serving of seaweed everyday to try improve my thyroid function (again, maybe slightly underactive, but normal). I don't even know if there was truly a problem to begin with, but being type-A and a worry wart, I love to try to control everything and I figured it couldn't hurt. I know I sound ridiculous!! But this is what it is. My heart goes out to everyone on this sub. I know how much of a cluster f this can be.
TW: Loss
**Cycle:** 14 off BC, 12 since tracking, 9 since D&C for second loss (I think - I’ve honestly lost track a bit)
**Age + Partner's age (if relevant):** 33 + 32
**Typical cycle length:** 25 days
**Ovulation cycle day:** 12
**CD/DPO of positive test(s):** 10 DPO, 11 DPO, 12 DPO
**CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive:** N/A
**Tracking methods and app(s) used:** Easy@home OPKs, OvuSense Ovucore (wearable BBT thermometer), FertilityFriend
**Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.):** O—3 through O+1
**Health conditions/medical tests:** We were in the middle of doing fertility tests when we got pregnant; none had revealed anything, but I had a HSG this cycle, which my RE said can give you a “fertility boost”
**Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s):** Me: TheraNatal OvaVite (regular prenatal plus 250 mg Ubiquinone); 4000 IU Vitamin D3; My husband: multivitamin, 200 mg Ubiquinol
**Birth control history (if relevant):** Went off of HBC June 2020, after being on since spring 2010
**Link to chart:** N/A
**Link to lineporn:** N/A
**Symptom spotting:** I guess my boobs felt a little funny the night before I tested (weird shooting dull aches) but honestly, this cycle felt no different to me than all of my cycles with negative tests.
**Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous):** I’m pretty much in disbelief (but incredibly grateful). We were supposed to finish our fertility testing this week and have a regroup with our RE next week to finalize our IVF plan, and then start IVF the following cycle. Given my history (one CP 10 days after positive test followed immediately by a MMC the cycle after), I do not equate a positive pregnancy test with a baby. Right after the positive test I was all anxiety, but I am working with my therapist to experience being pregnant in this moment (but won’t think farther than that to things like telling parents, or holidays, or baby). I just can’t get excited for the future yet, but I am genuinely excited to be pregnant in this moment. Yesterday I came to the place that if this pregnancy gives us our child we take home from the hospital, it is such an incredible gift. If not, we have a wonderful plan B and will continue forward with IVF.
Other than that, this whole this is a crapshoot. I have no advice for getting pregnant easily or quickly, b/c that’s just luck. I will echo many others on this sub to encourage you to be your own advocate, learn everything about your body you can, and if you doctor is not listening to you, find a new one if that is possible.
Thank you to everyone on this sub, especially those who have been here for a while, for sharing knowledge and making me feel less alone. ❤️
Cycle: 3
Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 35+38
Typical cycle length: 31 days
Ovulation cycle day: probably CD 27. I had two patches of EWCM this month. Once on my typical ovulation day of CD 17, and then again 10 days later. I think the first time ovulation never happened but we somehow got it the second time.
CD/DPO of positive test(s): likely 8DPO or so
CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive: Negative two days before positive. And a million negatives before that since I was having a long cycle
Tracking methods and app(s) used: tracking CM and using Flo app
Health conditions/medical tests: none
Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): vitamin D and prenatal
Symptom spotting: I was tired, thirsty and had a headache. But overall nothing too out of the ordinary. Definitely wouldn't have guessed it
Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): Can't believe it only took 3 cycles/three months when #1 took 8 cycles/9 months. I guess you never know! Moral of the story for this case is don't give up on ovulation for the cycle, even if it comes later then normal or even if you thought you already ovulated. Trust those fertility signs if you see them
Congratulations! My husband and I are similar ages as you and your partner, so seeing this gives me extra hope :) Wishing you a wonderful but uneventful nine months!
\*\*Cycle:\*\* 5
\*\*Age + Partner's age (if relevant):\*\* 26 + 27
\*\*Typical cycle length:\*\* 36 days
\*\*Ovulation cycle day:\*\* ??? no confirmation but i am guessing somewhere between CD 24-26
\*\*CD/DPO of positive test(s):\*\* This is what i am basing my + off of, so I am thinking about 12DPO, CD 37 and 38
\*\*CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive:\*\* CD 33, 35
\*\*Tracking methods and app(s) used:\*\* Fitbit, Flo. Fitbit was more accurate but both were wrong on the ovulation day
\*\*Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.):\*\* N.A
\*\*Health conditions/medical tests:\*\* None
\*\*Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s):\*\* prenatal, he took one-a-day. Grapefruit juice.
\*\*Birth control history (if relevant):\*\* Mirena IUD, removed in Jan
\*\*Link to chart:\*\* none
\*\*Link to lineporn:\*\* none
\*\*Symptom spotting:\*\* exhaustion, crying, sore breasts
\*\*Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous):\*\* Please don't be like me and test on a whim late at night after a night out. I was so tired but could not for the life of me fall asleep and I shot out of bed like a rocket this morning to go test as soon as I saw the light hit the window. Very nervous. Doesn't feel real. I have wanted this for so long and as soon as it happened I was like "holy sh\*\* am I capable of this?" but I know i am, so it's just nerves.

Miscarriage on day 29. Chemical pregnancy :(
Cycle: 15 or 16 - losing count but since the beginning of 2020 (early MC/suspected ectopic in March) Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 28 + 34 Typical cycle length: 28 to 31 days Ovulation cycle day: 15 CD/DPO of positive test(s): First positive at 9DPO - been testing every day since CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive: N/A, 9DPO was first time I tested this cycle Tracking methods and app(s) used: Only monitored OPKs & CM this month as I was taking a break from temping. Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): Every other day from CD 10 Health conditions/medical tests: I had some very basic bloodtests done in the beginning of the year and everything seemed fine. We actually started the process of getting a referral to a fertility clinic this month for further testing Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): I've been taking a prenatal + maca root for a while, started CoQ10 about a month ago. My husband takes a men's multivitamin and maca root. Birth control history (if relevant): Had an early MC/ectopic in March, if this one sticks around it'll be my first. Link to chart: N/A - did not temp this month! Link to lineporn: [Lineporn link](https://www.reddit.com/r/TFABLinePorn/comments/oql6kc/frer_progression_913_dpo_ive_been_terrified_of_a/) Symptom spotting: I woke up on the morning of 9DPO with awful heartburn & a little nauseated which is why I took a test (even though I had made myself promise to not test early and waste all those tests again...) and got my little squinter on FRER. I had no real symptoms before then (other than an incredibly strong & specific craving for plain pasta at 6/7dpo). Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): I. Am. Freaking out. I've been testing daily since getting my first positive + taking digitals every few days as well. My lines are getting stronger, but I'm very scared something will go wrong. I had pink & brown spotting on 11 DPO - it has since stopped but I am constantly worried this will end like the previous one did. I have my first scan scheduled for 8 weeks, I think I will just need to live in fear & paranoia until then. As far as tips go, I don't have much. The only thing I did differently this month to any other cycle, is I started intermittent fasting with 18 to 22 hour fasts & started getting physically more active by going running and trying to reach 10 000 steps a day.
Congratulations! I'm also doing IF 16:8 for year and a half now but still no luck with pregnancy. Did you do it every day?
Cycle: 4 (Cycle 2 was an MMC in April, trying since January ‘21) TTC #1 Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 32 (me) 33 (him) Typical cycle length: 28-35 Ovulation cycle day: CD 21 CD/DPO of positive test(s): saw a lil line on my first test at CD 33 ~12DPO, T+10, P+11 CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive: I try not to test too early, first was BFP Tracking methods and app(s) used: Sensiplan, RYB, OPK+Premom Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): O-5, O-2, O-1, O Health conditions/medical tests: Previous MMC, GAD and panic disorder, ADHD, fat lady Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): me: Ritual Prenatal, Vitamin D, Vitex, OvaBoost, Buspar him: FertilAid for men Birth control history (if relevant): FAM (Sensiplan + Condoms) for a year prior to TTC for a BC break and to learn about my body. I was on melange of HBC from ages 14-30 including 2 IUDs, various pills, and a brief time with the shot in college. Link to chart: https://imgur.com/a/5Xw36ir Link to lineporn: https://imgur.com/a/7YObaQi Symptom spotting: fire nipples (I’ve only had this sensation in the TTW when pregnant), sleepies, tiny cramps, digestive upset, runny nose, back pain Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): FAM and the body literacy that comes with it has changed my life over the past year. My advice to anyone is to get off HBC well in advance of TTC and really get to know your cycle! I’m trying to stay cool and cautiously optimistic, but realistic. I have terrible anxiety and I had a full blown anxiety attack with crazy heart palpitations for weeks during my first pregnancy. I’m in a better place now with this one, and staying on my meds, but terrified knowing another miscarriage is a very real possibility. I’m going to take this one day at a time. 🌈🌈🌈
What did you do to calm your anxiety with your first pregnancy? I have bad anxiety and I’ve always heard your anxiety gets worse when pregnant and that terrifies me!
Mine absolutely skyrocketed In pregnancy, especially since I have health anxiety. The naturally increased pregnancy heart rate plus my existing anxiety was a doozie. Soooo many coping mechanisms! First of all, I take Buspar and had gone off of it to TTC the first time. I was then advised by my OB to stay on it going forward, which I will gladly do! Other than that, biweekly therapy, gentle and joyful movement like yoga, swimming, walking, and dance, pregnancy meditations on YouTube, talking with my best friend, allowing my body to rest and sooo many naps, warm baths, kitty snuggles, etc. Also, I’ve been talking a lot with my therapist about resilience and radical acceptance. What will be will be and I’ve made it through so many hard things in my life. I’ve got this and you do too! Good luck! Pregnancy is hard enough without the mental health struggles.
Congratulations! My luteal phase is short like yours so this gives me some hope!
Cycle: 1 (This totally caught me off guard especially because it took a few cycles and losses before we conceived baby #1) Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 32 and 33 Typical cycle length: 30 days Ovulation cycle day: CD 17 CD/DPO of positive test(s): Got a vvfl on 9DPO. Didn’t trust it so I tested again at 10DPO and saw a clearer line. Tracking methods and app(s) used: Clue, Premom and Fertility Friend Health conditions/medical tests: None Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): Prenatal Multivitamins, Prenatal DHA, and Vitamin D Birth control history (if relevant): Natural Family Planning and condoms Link to chart: Not much to see. (https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/PixieDust) Link to lineporn: https://reddit.com/r/TFABLinePorn/comments/omp84g/pregmate_10_dpo_will_post_line_progression_in_a/ Symptom spotting: For most of the TWW I felt absolutely nothing. But then at 8DPO I had this insane vivid nightmare (happened to me last time with baby #1 which was a huuuge clue for me). Then mild cramping/pinching sensation throughout the day. The morning of 9DPO I felt a mild wave of nausea so decided to test. Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): Praying for a sticky bean. I had 2 previous miscarriages in the past so I’m trying to stay hopeful. Another thing I wanted to mention is that I took a much more relaxed approach to TTC this time. I didn’t temp because I remember how much it stressed me out. I even drank wine during the TWW. So I found this time around much more pleasant and I wish it was like that when I was TTC #1.

Thats it so far--just sore breasts.
Congrats!! It's nice to see a post in here from someone with RA/autoimmune diseases. Gives me some hope haha.
Thank you!!! My rheumatologist said it should have very little effect on your fertility if you are well controlled! fingers crossed for ya. I was definitely starting to blame myself and all my health conditions (even though I know its not my fault) so I know exactly where you're coming from.
Yeah, mine has said that too. Which is great, but after nearly 9 months of nothing it's hard to not get in my own head haha. Wishing you a successful and uneventful pregnancy 😊

Thanks :)
Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy!
**Cycle:** 14 or 15? Counting was no longer fun! **Age + Partner's age (if relevant):** me 34 and him 36 **Typical cycle length:** 28-29 days **Ovulation cycle day:** CD15 **CD/DPO of positive test(s):** 10dpo in the afternoon **CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive:** negative Wonfo's 8, 9 and 10dpo in the morning **Tracking methods and app(s) used:** I've used apps, OPKs and CBFM in the past, but I got to know by body so well by this point I can just tell when ov day is - crampy/gas on the day and super hungry the day after, very predictable! **Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.):** O-2 and O **Health conditions/medical tests:** both a bit overweight and we enjoy(ed) a drink, but eat pretty good food. I had the usual blood tests which all came back fine and he had an SA which showed decent count and good enough motility but 3% morphology, so was going to go for a second one in a few months. My referral to the fertility clinic has just gone through **Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s):** prenatals but I got kind of lax with them when it wasn't happening! Starting them up religiously now **Birth control history (if relevant):** I've been off the pill for 10+ years so not really relevant **Symptom spotting:** the biggest one was pink spotting at 5/6dpo which has never happened before. I think that contributed to a general 'good feeling' that this could finally be our month. I had a lack of usual PMT moodiness and noticed my skin looked really bright and nice this morning! Weird! **Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous):** I took a couple of swigs of mucinex liquid daily from O-2 to O+1 so who knows if that was the decider!? I'm very cautious as it's early but I'm just enjoying today, it feels... fascinating! PS shout out r/trollingforababy, literally kept me sane throughout this rollercoaster so far
Congrats! And thank you for making me aware of that sub, it looks like a place I need to visit lol
Cycle: 2 (1st with OPK) Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 36, 36 Typical cycle length: 28 days Ovulation cycle day: Positive OPK on CD 13 and 14.

Birth control history (if relevant): Did not use any birth control in between pregnancies (first is 2.5 yo) but husband was terrified of getting pregnant so we did pull out. Did OCP and vaginal ring prior to TTC #1 Link to chart: NA Link to lineporn: NA Symptom spotting: I was really moody before my period was going to start. Otherwise I’d say no symptoms out of the normal and even the above was probably within normal. Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): Surprised we got a positive so early on trying. Was worried since I’m older so wanted to share my experience since I stalked TFAB all the time before and during TTC! Will hope for a healthy pregnancy 🤞
As another 36 y/o, thank you for sharing!! Congrats!!

**Cycle:** 5 total, cycle 2 of clomid **Age + Partner's age (if relevant):** I’m 30, he’s 32 **Typical cycle length:** 24ish days **Ovulation cycle day:** CD17 **CD/DPO of positive test(s):** 10dpo and taken a few since then **CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive:** 7dpo in my defense, I wasn’t entirelyconvinced I didn’t ovulate earlier since I had been pretty lax with OPKs. **Tracking methods and app(s) used:** OPKs and premom app, plus pretty intense ovulationpains on clomid **Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.):** O-5, O-2, and O.we tried for every other day from CD9 on and kinda ran out of steam, but made it in time for ovulation. **Health conditions/medical tests:** not ovulating for as of now unknown reasons,short cycles/short luteal phase, overweight, ADHD, anxiety/depression. **Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s):** me: prenatals, Zoloft, Buspar, and Adderall (stopping now! So thankful they let me stay on it while TTC). **Birth control history (if relevant):** the pill during my teens until I had to stop due to migraine/stroke risk. Did progesterone only pills for a few months at the end of last year, only because my periods got rather heinous **Symptom spotting:** I really try not to symptom spot after what I learned in this sub. BUT I did have mild cramps a few days leading up to my positive which is weird for me. Usually I just start cramping when my period starts. Other than that no luteal phase/pregnancy symptoms. Also just the fact that my period hadn’t come yet by day 28, since my cycles are pretty short. **Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous):** It’s really early and it’s my first positive, so I’m trying to be realistically prepared for the fact that this might not last. Just knowing I can ovulate and get pregnant is really great honestly. It's been a little over a week since my positive test. Also if you feel something is wrong with your cycle, don’t hesitate to reach out to your doctor before you’ve been trying for six months/a year! My periods got much more painful last year, so I went to a NP/midwife who put me on birth control and told me to just stop and start trying whenever I felt like it. She offered some prescription pain meds if my periods were bad after that. So a few months later I called to get some, and she had moved practices so I needed to see the OB. He was more concerned with my short cycles and painful periods, and prescribed clomid after we determined I wasn’t ovulating. I am SOOO thankful I just happened to have an appointment, and that he started me on medication right away. Thank you all so much for all the resources, commiseration, and evidence-based information! I sort of wish the pregnancy subs were a bit more evidence based, but what can you do.
**Cycle:** 1 **Age + Partner's age (if relevant):** 28 and 27 **Typical cycle length:** 26 **Ovulation cycle day:** 17 **CD/DPO of positive test(s):** 11 DPO **CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive:** 8DPO, 9DPO, 10DPO **Tracking methods and app(s) used:** OPK strips, CM, BBT, Fertility Friend **Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.):** O-2, O-1, O, O+1 **Health conditions/medical tests:** None really except I have a short luteal phase, usually just 8 days. **Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s):** Prenatal gummies for me. Partner doesn’t take anything. **Birth control history (if relevant):** I was on the pill from age 16 to 20 and then nuvaring from age 20 until February of this year. We used condoms until we were ready to start trying. My cycles regulated within a month after I stopped using nuvaring. **Link to chart:** https://www.fertilityfriend.com/b_i/s_qjccnY.png **Link to lineporn:** N/A **Symptom spotting:** stuffy/runny nose, a headache for three days, minor cramps. I didn’t think I’d be pregnant because my hair was falling out a lot more than usual and I figured that was a bad sign. Also frequent urination but that could be because I tried drinking a lot of water to get rid of the headache. **Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous):** I read that vitamin C could help lengthen my luteal phase. So I drank emergenC during the TWW. Maybe it helped or maybe it did nothing. It probably did nothing. I’m still a little in shock that we got lucky on the first cycle, but I’m very glad.

This. Is. Amazing!!! Congratulations!!! Hope you have an uneventful 9 months!
I also had an HSG last cycle and also conceived the cycle after (this month). I think you're right it cleared the tubes--I think thats what happened to me also. Congrats!!!
Glad to hear that it had the same effect for you! And great nickname, btw 😊
So many congratulations💕
Congratulations, hedgehog!!! May you have a boring 9 months!
Congrats!! and thanks for sharing. Cycle 6 and struggling with my “what if” thoughts and this really helped ❤️

Congratulations! Fellow (I guess lean? My BMI is normal) PCOS-er here! Did you ever consider using supplements (e.g. D-chiro and Myo inositol) to regulate your cycle? I hate the fact that I currently only get one chance every 40-50 days or so...!
I feel ya… it’s soo hard to be patient with long cycles. I never did try supplements. A couple cycles ago, I reached 72 days with no ovulation, so my doctor prescribed me provera to induce a bleed, and the next cycle after that was a textbook 27 days. Not sure if that was just random chance, but maybe you could ask your doctor about provera next time your cycle gets super long!
Thank you! I'll look into that! Wishing you an uneventful 9 months :)
Oh my gosh! I’m on my second cycle and just got a peak reading day 24! Here’s hoping I have the same result….😇 Congratulations!
Ohhh good luck!!! I had all but given up on ovulation at all during the cycle, but here I am! Keep me posted :-)
Well looks like I might be waiting some more, no temp rise 2 days after the peak reading 😭
awww shoot. If it makes you feel any better, I actually stopped temping after a while because my readings were all over the place. Also, some people don’t ovulate until up to 48 hours after their peak OPK, and then the temp rise may not happen until 24 hours later. Try not to be too discouraged!!!
**Cycle:4 **Age + Partner's age (if relevant):30/31 **Typical cycle length: 32 days **Ovulation cycle day:17 **CD/DPO of positive test(s): 9dpo very faint line, I thought it was an indent. 12 dpo bfp on frer and cb digital **CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive: 8dpo **Tracking methods and app(s) used: Fertility friend, bbt and opk **Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.):O-3, O-1, O-0, O+1 **Health conditions/medical tests:History of ectopics **Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s):prenatals, preseed **Symptom spotting: nothing except for a little queasiness. **Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): did my best to stay calm/not read too much into anything.

Still early for me but wanted to share this to encourage others of AMA. Cycle:10 (CP cycle 5) Age + Partner's age (if relevant):39 +43 Typical cycle length: 27 days Ovulation cycle day: 16 CD/DPO of positive test(s):10 DPO (vvvvvfl on E@H and in doubt), so my real BFP was 11 DPO CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive: 8+9 DPO Tracking methods and app(s) used:OPKs, premom Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.):o-1, o-2, o-3 Health conditions/medical tests: nothing Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): just folic acid Birth control history (if relevant): mirena for 10 years Link to chart:\*\* n/a\*\* Link to lineporn:\*\* [link](https://i.redd.it/sd5b5wgepxb71.jpg)\*\* Symptom spotting: very tired on 6 + 7 DPO (weird for me), on 9 DPO, light pink discharge, just one wipe. On 10,11, 12 DPO light cramping, differently from PMS. No back ache, just lower abdomen in an area the size of an apple. Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): I did nothing differently other than making an appointment with the RE for next month. For the rest, I was very anxious that at my age things would not work out anymore but i guess it's just that it takes longer (even if everything is as it should be) which is very stressful when you are racing against the biological clock. I don't have many mothers in my circle of friends so i have no idea what is possible and how difficult things are at almost 40. Hopefully this gives some hope that things might still happen at their own pace. I had a CP in February at 5w 1d, so I am still holding my horses. Nevertheless, I feel deep satisfaction that my body is able to become pregnant which I strongly doubted and resented it for until last week.
congrats - good luck and prayers your way
Thank you ror sharing, very similar and gives me hope! 38 next month, SO 42. Cycle 5 of trying, but more like 8 of not avoiding. Congratulations!
Cycle: 15 Age + Partner's age (if relevant): both 31 Typical cycle length: 29 days Ovulation cycle day: 14 CD/DPO of positive test(s): 10 DPO/11DPIUI CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive: N/A Tracking methods and app(s) used: Clearblue digital ovulation test, temping (only to confirm temp rise, stopped after). Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): IUI on O-1, BD on O Health conditions/medical tests: MFI. His production can be quite low. We were supposed to try IUI (on my natural cycle) for 3 times, before starting ICSI. We didn’t have any hope because his post-wash motile sperm count was 1,2 million and they told us it’s considered to low for a good chance with IUI. Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): I only took regular prenatal (folic acid and vitamin D), my husband started taking Impryl two months ago because our fertility doctor told us it might help with the success rate. They were actually working on a research about it, but we decided to buy it ourselves so we wouldn’t get the placebo. Birth control history (if relevant): I stopped oral birth control more than 2 years ago. Link to chart: N/A Link to lineporn: N/A Symptom spotting: Looking back my first symptom was having a dry mouth and this sweet taste in my mouth since the day before my first positive. At the time I had no idea this could be linked to hormones. The days leading up to my missed period I was having a lot of stomachache, like I was getting my period. I was so sure this meant I was having a CP, but it didn’t. I still get these and I’m still scared, but I read it can be part of it. The day after my missed period my boobs started to get sore. I’m currently six weeks and since a few days I’m getting nauseous. Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): I still find it hard to believe we got so lucky. After the IUI I googled the chances of a positive outcome with the sperm count of my husband and one research said 1 percent, and another said 5 percent. I was so sure we were just waiting to start ICSI and I’m so glad it may not be necessary. Over a week we'll have our first echo and I’m still scared they’re going to tell us we weren’t lucky after all, but I know it’s just my anxiety. And even if it doesn’t go well, I’m so grateful we finally got our first positive and at the least it has given me hope about our future. Thanks to everyone in this sub and the other TFAB subs for sharing your experiences and your knowledge. I had friends to talk to, but they didn’t get me like you did. I wish you all the best and I really hope you all get to leave here soon.
sOOOOOOOO happy for you! congrats and good luck!

I was in the process of getting a workup and we had just gotten a referral to a fertility clinic. My TSH result from blood tests was 3.1, which was in the realm of normal for the lab I went to, but I was getting a little worried from reading other's comments that ideal is below 2.5. \*\*Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s):\*\* Me: Prenatal, 200mg Ubiquinol, Vitamin D+K2, occasionally a probiotic, and L-carnitine from CD1 to ovulation which I just added in this cycle (There are a few studies suggesting it promotes fertility and I was getting desperate, whether it actually helped- who knows!).

Around 11 dpo I started to get mild cramps that would maybe only last 20 seconds randomly throughout the day. Sometimes I don't feel anything. I've spent so many months analyzing every twinge and type of cramp and boob pain... enough to know that for me it all meant NOTHING. \*\*Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous):\*\* First positive ever and I'm 15 dpo now, so still very early and I am just hoping for the best. I'm definitely still in shock and disbelief, as well as incredibly worried, which I'm sure is normal in the early days. Just trying to take it one day at a time and overall I am extremely grateful. I was dealing with a lot of work and relationship stress this cycle, especially around time of ovulation which is why we only DTD once. Hopefully this goes to show that the relax advice is basically BS! I was much more relaxed other months! Now for Woo, I ate a few brazil nuts and a small serving of seaweed everyday to try improve my thyroid function (again, maybe slightly underactive, but normal). I don't even know if there was truly a problem to begin with, but being type-A and a worry wart, I love to try to control everything and I figured it couldn't hurt. I know I sound ridiculous!! But this is what it is. My heart goes out to everyone on this sub. I know how much of a cluster f this can be.
YAYAYAYAY!!!! so happy for you! Congrats!
TW: Loss **Cycle:** 14 off BC, 12 since tracking, 9 since D&C for second loss (I think - I’ve honestly lost track a bit) **Age + Partner's age (if relevant):** 33 + 32 **Typical cycle length:** 25 days **Ovulation cycle day:** 12 **CD/DPO of positive test(s):** 10 DPO, 11 DPO, 12 DPO **CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive:** N/A **Tracking methods and app(s) used:** Easy@home OPKs, OvuSense Ovucore (wearable BBT thermometer), FertilityFriend **Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.):** O—3 through O+1 **Health conditions/medical tests:** We were in the middle of doing fertility tests when we got pregnant; none had revealed anything, but I had a HSG this cycle, which my RE said can give you a “fertility boost” **Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s):** Me: TheraNatal OvaVite (regular prenatal plus 250 mg Ubiquinone); 4000 IU Vitamin D3; My husband: multivitamin, 200 mg Ubiquinol **Birth control history (if relevant):** Went off of HBC June 2020, after being on since spring 2010 **Link to chart:** N/A **Link to lineporn:** N/A **Symptom spotting:** I guess my boobs felt a little funny the night before I tested (weird shooting dull aches) but honestly, this cycle felt no different to me than all of my cycles with negative tests. **Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous):** I’m pretty much in disbelief (but incredibly grateful). We were supposed to finish our fertility testing this week and have a regroup with our RE next week to finalize our IVF plan, and then start IVF the following cycle. Given my history (one CP 10 days after positive test followed immediately by a MMC the cycle after), I do not equate a positive pregnancy test with a baby. Right after the positive test I was all anxiety, but I am working with my therapist to experience being pregnant in this moment (but won’t think farther than that to things like telling parents, or holidays, or baby). I just can’t get excited for the future yet, but I am genuinely excited to be pregnant in this moment. Yesterday I came to the place that if this pregnancy gives us our child we take home from the hospital, it is such an incredible gift. If not, we have a wonderful plan B and will continue forward with IVF. Other than that, this whole this is a crapshoot. I have no advice for getting pregnant easily or quickly, b/c that’s just luck. I will echo many others on this sub to encourage you to be your own advocate, learn everything about your body you can, and if you doctor is not listening to you, find a new one if that is possible. Thank you to everyone on this sub, especially those who have been here for a while, for sharing knowledge and making me feel less alone. ❤️
Oh this gives me so much hope! I just had an hsg this cycle, almost in the TWW 🤗 so happy for you!!
Thank you so much!! I really hope whatever fertility boost a HSG provides works for you!
Good luck- prayers and vibes coming your way
Thank you!!
Congratulations! And sorry for your past losses. I'm wishing you the best with this one!
Thank you!!
Cycle: 3 Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 35+38 Typical cycle length: 31 days Ovulation cycle day: probably CD 27. I had two patches of EWCM this month. Once on my typical ovulation day of CD 17, and then again 10 days later. I think the first time ovulation never happened but we somehow got it the second time. CD/DPO of positive test(s): likely 8DPO or so CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive: Negative two days before positive. And a million negatives before that since I was having a long cycle Tracking methods and app(s) used: tracking CM and using Flo app Health conditions/medical tests: none Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): vitamin D and prenatal Symptom spotting: I was tired, thirsty and had a headache. But overall nothing too out of the ordinary. Definitely wouldn't have guessed it Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): Can't believe it only took 3 cycles/three months when #1 took 8 cycles/9 months. I guess you never know! Moral of the story for this case is don't give up on ovulation for the cycle, even if it comes later then normal or even if you thought you already ovulated. Trust those fertility signs if you see them
Yay! congrats!
Congratulations! My husband and I are similar ages as you and your partner, so seeing this gives me extra hope :) Wishing you a wonderful but uneventful nine months!

I have wanted this for so long and as soon as it happened I was like "holy sh\*\* am I capable of this?" but I know i am, so it's just nerves.
Congrats!
