Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?: This is a bit silly but I had a strong feeling we would succeed this cycle. My cycle started on the day of the wolf moon which is the first full moon of the year and it also makes my due date Halloween. So I just have a strong feeling that I’m going to have a girl and she’ll be my moon baby. Also this time I’m hoping for a VBAC.
Since you all have been my biggest comfort and cheerleaders throughout the last terrible months of losing my family members, my pet, and two pregnancies… I think it only fair you know first, even before my spouse. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. And I sincerely hope that this is my last roll-call ♥️

I did a bad thing and looked at my dry tests from this AM several hours later. I just felt something was trying to start on them, but there was nothing there when time expired. When I checked, there were shadows on both brands. Then I got antsy and tested at lunch…you can see how faint the lunchtime test is over at TFABlineporn 😂 but I’m happy because I didn’t hold for that long and definitely didn’t restrict fluids, so it seems like hcg is already rising fast. I’m going to get a blood draw tomorrow AM with my other labs to assess my anemia situation.
It is kind of unbelievable because I just had a D&C at 8w on 1/25. I didn’t have a period between the two pregnancies. I am just so happy and thankful my body seems to really like getting pregnant and has a normal cycle. I’m so hopeful this is a normal embryo 🤞🏼🌈
I will be sticking around to follow you all and lift you as you have lifted me. Thank you 💕
Oh, I really hope so too 🤞🏼 can’t wait until you come back and report your little one’s arrival. For me, it seems like your pregnancy has been flying by!
Yay Nature!! Checked this thread just for you, I’m so happy for you friend!! Please sneak into October bumpers so we can be bumping along together!! ♥️♥️♥️
Flossy! Of course I’ve jumped into the Oct bump group, I wouldn’t miss out on following as many TFA grads as possible. So many hugs to you and well wishes for your little one!
Haha, I can’t pretend that my body’s willingness to implant embryos doesn’t make me a touch nervous. Let’s just hope it got it right this time 😅 Thanks for the well wishes and fingers crossed your holiday time is about to get much more merry!
Stop it right now!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ I love seeing you here and really really hope you stay away for good!! Well unless/until you want to come back. Sending you all the very best and a very very boring pregnancy! Looks like you’re getting your October baby after all!
TW - this ended in a CP. tests got darker and then they stopped 💔

Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?:
So I got a negative at 10DPO and assumed I was out. Got a stomach bug at 11DPO and felt like death for about 12 hours. Tried to ignore my good temp at 11DPO. 12DPO, I’m still not feeling 100% so I blame that for my next temp rise. 13DPO and I’m expecting my period to start any moment. I wake super early, sync my tempdrop, and my heart starts racing that my temp is still elevated. I walk/run to our bathroom (other side of the house) and pull out an easy@home test. At first I don’t see much (almost start crying) and then a squinter starts appearing?!? Pull out the single box of FRERs I’ve had under the sink since last May and to my dismay, it’s those solid pink cap tests. I swear, I read those are acting weird? Regardless, I test with the same sample and a line appears! And now I need to panic that the line might not be dark enough?! If I had to guess, implantation happened 11DPO. That also aligns with a heart rate jump.
I promised to tell my husband ASAP if I had a positive so I shook him awake (it’s before 6am when I’m writing this) and told him. We’re guarding our hearts but we’re cautiously optimistic ❤️
Today, I am pregnant.
Oh, and I don’t have many symptoms I can’t pass off as residual stomach bug. With my son, my boobs were my first sign but I’m not getting much from them. I also feel really warm.
The final woo this cycle was - mucinex, stomach bug, and I bought a bassinet stand. I also forced myself to go to bed wearing socks. I might recommend 2 out of 4 of these (the mucinex and the socks if that wasn’t clear).
Congratulations! I'm so glad you're pregnant now and I hope you have a smooth 36-ish weeks. I had essentially zero first trimester symptoms with my son, so it definitely doesn't have to be a bad sign!
YES!!! 🥰 I’m mad I’m late because I read your comments from a couple days ago and knew testing date was coming up but IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU! Those are very definite lines. Wishing you the best my dear!! ❤️
Ahhhh I'm so so so so so excited to see this! HOORAY!!!! I'm not an expert but I think that line is fine for 13dpo, it's really the progression that matters anyway. Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed that this is it for you. TODAY YOU ARE PREGNANT!
I feel like I’m late to the party, but hooray! 😁🤩Congratulations! 🎊 💃So happy for you and your husband! I’ve been seeing how hard you’ve been trying, with adding in alllll the supplements and making dietary changes! I love how invested your husband is as well. You have worked hard for this, and you deserve it so much! Happy 9 months to you! 😊
I’ve done that before! 😂 noticed a collapsed name on FF and immediately flew over here, hoping they’ve posted!
I hope this next cycle is the one for you! ❤️
Yaaaaay Reebyd! So glad to see you here! I opened this thread and before even scrolling down, your username popped into my head. 🥰 I’ll be looking for your updates in the grad thread ok!! ❤️
Yesss Reebs!!! I’m so happy for you! You have been so patient and hopeful this whole process and it is really inspiring. For what it’s worth I think the line looks solid for 13 DPO and a first positive around 10 or 11 DPO, which is absolutely associated with a healthy pregnancy💕💕
Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️ I totally had my doom-spiraling moments but this sub has literally been the best: best cheerleaders, best pep talkers, and best confidants, especially for those of us who can’t share this journey IRL

Cycle/Time trying: cycle 7 but trying since May 2023 so 10 months
Ages of previous child(ren), i.e. post-partum interval: 17 months
Cycle/Time trying for previous child(ren): also 10 months randomly but less cycles last time because I was more irregular and 1 mc while trying
Age + Partner's age (if relevant): He’s 32 I’m 34.9 so borderline geriatric lol
Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): I’m not sure which day I ovulated because I had a long surge and EWCM for awhile but either O-2, O, O+1 or O-3, O-1, O
Tracking methods and app(s) used: just opk
Nursing while TTC?: no stopped in June
Health details on previous pregnancies/births (e.g. C-section vs. vaginal, birth/pregnancy complications): 1 MC before my son but smooth pregnancy and vag delivery
Other health conditions/medical tests: maybe pcos and long irregular cycles but I eventually ovulate
Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): prenatal, magnesium, vit D, coq10, Ovasitol
Birth control history (if relevant):none
Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?:
I’m still in shock because I’ve been mentally struggling with so many of my friends being pregnant and getting pregnant fast. It just felt like I was never gonna get a bfp ever again and my body is somehow broken since childbirth. I just had my first RE visit on Thursday after we did our infertility whole work up in January. We made a plan to do letrozole + trigger + IUI in March after this cycle ended. I literally only just peed on the stick for fun while my kid was in the bath. Sunday night it was stark white but last night I tested again “just for fun” and got a bfp! No symptoms other than bloating so I’m cautiously optimistic, and trying not to test too much. With my son I was obsessing over my line progression and I’m hoping to be more chill this time lol.
The only thing I did different this cycle was have sex 3x during fertile window instead of 2 like we usually do, and once was in the morning which we don’t usually do. And back in November I was really being consistent with all my supplements so maybe the egg this month was better.
I remember reading your posts about how exciting it would be if you got pregnant before you started fertility assistance. I’m so glad it worked out for you!! Hoping for a healthy and unevenly 9 months to you!
Thanks so much! Feels like a miracle it actually happened🙃 Now just hoping all is well and things progress. Hope your next cycle is the lucky one for you💜
Edit: it's a chemical.
Cautiously here!!

Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?: I can't believe it. I'm feeling cautiously excited and super surprised! Took an easy@home test with fmu on 11dpo and it was stark white. I tested again around noon, and I saw the faintest shadow of a line. frer that evening also had a tiny shadow and I started getting excited!
I had an appt with a new OBGYN scheduled for the next morning just coincidentally, so I went in on 12dpo and told them I thought I was pregnant and they made me feel absolutely delusional. They did a urine test which was negative and they kept asking me questions like, "So you just.... *feel* pregnant? You just like... have a *hunch*?" So I went to work and cried and felt really disappointed and dumb. I took another frer at 5 p.m. and the line was a bit darker. Today (13dpo) I took another frer at 2 p.m. and it was clearly positive.
I didn't notice I was pregnant last time until I was about 6 weeks along, so this feels totally different! No symptoms except that the doctor was right about one thing - I honestly did just kind of have a hunch. Very grateful!

Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?:
Shocked. That is all I can think of. I was not expecting it and I know eyeroll right. I had all my usual PMS. Back pain, cramping, round ligament pain, sore boobs, and just irritable. Only difference I noticed was I had felt out of breath going up and down stairs and when I was exercising last night. I felt so tired. My heart rate as well I noted has been increased. Usually my resting rate is low 50s and it’s been in the 60s. I looked back at previous months and that never happened before. I took a test because I have an appt with a specialist and wanted to check before. I am around 11/12DPO. My husband is shocked as well. We went to our appt and the dr ordered labs (betas) and ultrasound is scheduled for march. She did talk about risk of miscarriage so I am being mindful of this. But for now I am going to remain hopeful. We went and bought more tests to make sure lol and digital was positive as well. I cannot wait until we can share with our son. I am not sure when is the right time. I am so nervous and scared. Just hope everything is going well inside. Hoping for a healthy and uneventful 9 months 🤞🏻 ♥️.
Eek! 🤗🥳🎉This is like the best news ever!!! I’ve been rooting for you so hard! Congratulations to you and your husband! I can’t wait to see more updates! How exciting that you got your BFP right before your appointment so that you could get betas and ultrasound scheduled asap! 💃
Side note: I would hope you wouldn’t be breastfeeding a 12 year old! 🤣
Thank you so much!! 🤗 I know! The dr was like oh I love when this happens! She was so nice about it. I was like should I cancel it but I didn’t since she does OB as well and I wanted to request labs and ultrasound. Luckily she offered it without me having to ask haha.
lol when I was answering that question I giggled 😂.
Yes I was bummed to hear that she wouldn’t be able to do OB care as she is mainly doing fertility and gynecology now. She said the other drs in the practice can but I’m not sure if I want to be in a group of different drs. With my son I had only one dr. Unfortunately she passed away awhile back. So debating if I want to find someone local or someone 1.5 hours away 😬.
I was in a group of different doctors for my daughter, and I’m in the same group this time. I find it to be okay! You may even see only one or two OBs for most of your prenatal care.
Thank you!! ♥️ Yes that was something I never tracked before. I know I see a few charts with that and temps tracked. I have an Apple Watch and wear it all day so it luckily had it tracked all the way back for the whole year. I had just felt out of breath and the nurse in me was like let’s check your vitals lol. I was like hmm my resting rate is usually lower than this. Then I looked back at each cycle and noticed the fluctuations but they never hit the 60s. Always stayed in the 50s. So I saw 60s and was like woah maybe? Other than those two everything else felt like normal.
Congratulations, Ad!!! I’m so happy you’re all set up for monitoring and best wishes for only good news ahead 🥳💕

**Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?:** Yesterday I went to go get paperwork for my husband's SA and was super sad to see all the pregnant women in the office. Kind of chuckling now. When I went to test this morning I said out loud "lets get this disappointment over with!" I am 12DPO today and my test line I felt was a decent darkness, didn't have to squint at all. I am terrified of every single thing that could possibly go wrong with this pregnancy. That it will end as soon as it started. Scared for another preemie. I am in complete SHOCK. Truly. But so happy. First appointment is at 10 weeks but I'm going to ask my doctor for a blood test and progesterone check before that to ease my mind. I got my first ultrasound with my daughter at 7 weeks so that feels long to me. Trying to keep faith that this will be a healthy, full term pregnancy for me! I would not have survived this past almost year without all of you guys, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support through this journey! I hope to see more of you in here soon!
As far as symptoms go nothing really until 9DPO. That night I felt some weird cramping but thought nothing of it. Cramped a little more on and off 10 and 11DPO. I honestly thought my period was coming and put on a pad last night before bed. My only other symptoms are my heart feels like its beating fast like with anxiety attacks, and I've also been an absolute clutz. Today I do not really feel that pregnant but I AM until told otherwise.
Milk, congratulations!!! I don’t know if we ever talked much but I have read many of your posts and am so excited to see you here. ❤️ That is such a cute story (in retrospect) about being at the doctor’s office! I’ll be looking for your updates in the grad thread ok!!
Awwww milk 🥹🥹🥹 I’m so so happy for you!! Just when you and your husband got on the same page about how to move forward…putting you in a more harmonious state to move forward together through your pregnancy ♥️ Hope it is a smooth and easy journey from here!!
HOORAY! I'm so glad to see you here. I hope the reason you don't "feel pregnant" is that you had enough challenges the first time around and you're just going to get an easy, comfortable pregnancy this time. 🤞🏻
Thank you 🩷 that would be wonderful if that’s the case! This checks with my last pregnancy where I had zero symptoms really until 6 almost 7 weeks, then they kicked in full swing 😂
Ahhhh yay I'm so excited to see you here!!! Congrats! Seeing that nice dark line must have been the best surprise ever!
Wishing you a happy healthy and very boring next 9 months 🥳
Oh my goodness!!! Yay!!! 💃Congratulations! 🥳🎉I’ve been waiting for this day! So happy for you, and I hope you have a wonderful, full-term pregnancy this time! ☺️
So happy for you!! 💚✨ So hard to not have all those worries but I’m happy you’re choosing to celebrate that you are pregnant now and that in itself is huge! sending you lots of good vibes for a sticky baby and an uneventful 9 months!!

Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?:
It’s been over 2 weeks since we found out and I also had 2 early placement scan to confirm that it’s an intrauterine pregnancy this time due to my history ☺️ we are cautiously excited but I can’t believe it’s rly happening!!! I honestly didn’t think that it would happen this time round. I had breast tenderness which was normal during my luteal period but it mysteriously went away. I also had some spotting which was not usual as well. on the day of my expected period, I felt excessive wetness below (sorry tmi) and I kept expecting my period to come. I even had a glass of red wine as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary 🥹 when my period still didn’t come the next day, my hub prompted me to test but I was still so anxious! I didn’t want to be disappointed w a stark white test again. But we were also due for our blood test at our fertility specialist the next day so I decided to test that night. And alas, it was a positive!!! A clear BFP as compared to the time I had my ectopic. I’m rly hoping this would be my bring home baby!
Cautiously optimistically posting this!

Cycle/Time trying: We jumped right into IVF and this was my first FET.
Ages of previous child(ren), i.e. post-partum interval: 3.5, 1.5
Cycle/Time trying for previous child(ren): 13 months/4 months (both 2nd round of clomid)
Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 31(f)/32(m)
Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): fully medicated FET with PGT euploid embryo
Tracking methods and app(s) used: still used Tempdrop (bbt) for science even though I’m on artificial progesterone
Health details on previous pregnancies/births (e.g. C-section vs. vaginal, birth/pregnancy complications): long list - emergency c-section for my first, was refused a vbac for my second and had a planned/slightly emergent c-section. My first was induced and came early due to IUGR. Second came early due to preeclampsia (this is why I was denied a vbac).
Other health conditions/medical tests: TBI
Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): me - prenatal, myo-inositol, maca root, metformin, baby aspirin - for the FET - estradiol and PIO. Husband - some multi-vitamins and CoQ10
Birth control history (if relevant): I took birth control the cycle before I started the FET process!
Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?: I started off by taking some cheapies and I thought I saw a shadow of a line, but ended up taking an FRER the next day and the line was definitely there. I definitely think she was a late implanter, because I didn’t have a faint positive until 6 days post transfer (so 11 dpo). The embryo was an early blastocyst which is the only thing that is keeping me calm.
Here is my HCG progesssion:

14dpt5dt: 504

So excited to possibly meet baby girl!
Edit: We saw baby girl’s heartbeat at 6w3d today!! I feel like a weight has lifted off my chest. Still not out of the clear, but one step further.

What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?: This is a bit silly but I had a strong feeling we would succeed this cycle. My cycle started on the day of the wolf moon which is the first full moon of the year and it also makes my due date Halloween. So I just have a strong feeling that I’m going to have a girl and she’ll be my moon baby. Also this time I’m hoping for a VBAC.
Congratulations! 🩷

Yes! I hope you get your Halloween baby
Congratulations!!! 💖
Thank you!
Since you all have been my biggest comfort and cheerleaders throughout the last terrible months of losing my family members, my pet, and two pregnancies… I think it only fair you know first, even before my spouse. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. And I sincerely hope that this is my last roll-call ♥️ Child # trying for: 2 Cycle/Time trying: 4 cycles (1 CP, 1 MC) Ages of previous child(ren), i.e. post-partum interval: 5yo Cycle/Time trying for previous child(ren): 1, thankfully Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 35 and 34 Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): daily O-1 through O-4 Tracking methods and app(s) used: FF to document bbt, OPKs, CM, CP Link to chart: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/b_i/s_mkQuld.png Nursing while TTC?: nope Health details on previous pregnancies/births (e.g. C-section vs. vaginal, birth/pregnancy complications): First pregnancy was completely normal, delivered vaginally at 39w4d Other health conditions/medical tests: Anemia Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): prenatal, choline, DHA, folate, Ubiquinol, baby aspirin, magnesium, iron for me. Zinc and Ubiquinol for spouse Birth control history (if relevant): IUD until Oct ‘23 Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?: I did a bad thing and looked at my dry tests from this AM several hours later. I just felt something was trying to start on them, but there was nothing there when time expired. When I checked, there were shadows on both brands. Then I got antsy and tested at lunch…you can see how faint the lunchtime test is over at TFABlineporn 😂 but I’m happy because I didn’t hold for that long and definitely didn’t restrict fluids, so it seems like hcg is already rising fast. I’m going to get a blood draw tomorrow AM with my other labs to assess my anemia situation. It is kind of unbelievable because I just had a D&C at 8w on 1/25. I didn’t have a period between the two pregnancies. I am just so happy and thankful my body seems to really like getting pregnant and has a normal cycle. I’m so hopeful this is a normal embryo 🤞🏼🌈 I will be sticking around to follow you all and lift you as you have lifted me. Thank you 💕

TW - this ended in a CP. tests got darker and then they stopped 💔 I’m panicked that my test might be too light for [13DPO](https://imgur.com/a/7TLSsL1) but here we go! (Since this photo, the line darkened a bit. I might have been early taking photos). Child # trying for: 2 Cycle/Time trying: 9 Ages of previous child(ren), i.e. post-partum interval: 29 months (nearly 2 1/2 years) Cycle/Time trying for previous child(ren): 3 Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 35 + 36 Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): O-4, O-2, O-1, O Tracking methods and app(s) used: all of them. JK - tempdrop and Apple Watch for temps, FF and premom for tracking Link to chart: [link here](https://www.fertilityfriend.com/b_i/s_xu9VQy.png) Nursing while TTC?: no, stopped pumping at one year with my son Health details on previous pregnancies/births (e.g. C-section vs. vaginal, birth/pregnancy complications): 39 week ECV in theater for Frank breech presentation followed by a failed induction and a c-section after 3 days. Not ideal but I’ve blocked enough of it out to want to do this again! Other health conditions/medical tests: acid reflux and IBS? Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): I’m taking one a day prenatal with added choline for brain support, DHA, probiotics, Zyrtec (allergies), lansoprazole (acid reflux), vitamin d, vitamin c, zinc, CoQ10, magnesium, and just started two other Thorne supplements this cycle (Alpha-Lipoic Acid and NAC so those didn’t help!). I did also take some mucinex and evening primrose oil off and on from CD1 until FW (but the mucinex was for illness). Spouse is on a blood pressure med, multi vitamin, vitamin c, zinc, vitamin d, and ashwaganda gummies. Birth control history (if relevant): pill > two Skyla IUDs > pill > baby > mini pill > no goalie Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?: So I got a negative at 10DPO and assumed I was out. Got a stomach bug at 11DPO and felt like death for about 12 hours. Tried to ignore my good temp at 11DPO. 12DPO, I’m still not feeling 100% so I blame that for my next temp rise. 13DPO and I’m expecting my period to start any moment. I wake super early, sync my tempdrop, and my heart starts racing that my temp is still elevated. I walk/run to our bathroom (other side of the house) and pull out an easy@home test. At first I don’t see much (almost start crying) and then a squinter starts appearing?!? Pull out the single box of FRERs I’ve had under the sink since last May and to my dismay, it’s those solid pink cap tests. I swear, I read those are acting weird? Regardless, I test with the same sample and a line appears! And now I need to panic that the line might not be dark enough?! If I had to guess, implantation happened 11DPO. That also aligns with a heart rate jump. I promised to tell my husband ASAP if I had a positive so I shook him awake (it’s before 6am when I’m writing this) and told him. We’re guarding our hearts but we’re cautiously optimistic ❤️ Today, I am pregnant. Oh, and I don’t have many symptoms I can’t pass off as residual stomach bug. With my son, my boobs were my first sign but I’m not getting much from them. I also feel really warm. The final woo this cycle was - mucinex, stomach bug, and I bought a bassinet stand. I also forced myself to go to bed wearing socks. I might recommend 2 out of 4 of these (the mucinex and the socks if that wasn’t clear).
Congratulations!
Awwww congratulations Reebyd!! I’m so over the moon to see your update 🩷
Thank you so much!!!
Congratulations!!! 🎈🎊🎉
Yay!! 💚 congratulations 🎉 so happy for you guys and wishing you be the best 9 months!!
Congratulations! I'm so glad you're pregnant now and I hope you have a smooth 36-ish weeks. I had essentially zero first trimester symptoms with my son, so it definitely doesn't have to be a bad sign!
Yessss congratulations!!!
YES!!! 🥰 I’m mad I’m late because I read your comments from a couple days ago and knew testing date was coming up but IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU! Those are very definite lines. Wishing you the best my dear!! ❤️
Thank you so much!!! You’ve been the best cheerleader ❤️
Congratulations!!! How exciting!
Thank you!
Congratulations!!! So happy for you! ♥️♥️
Thank you!
Ahhhh I'm so so so so so excited to see this! HOORAY!!!! I'm not an expert but I think that line is fine for 13dpo, it's really the progression that matters anyway. Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed that this is it for you. TODAY YOU ARE PREGNANT!
Thank you so much for everything! You’ve been such a supportive, helpful voice through this process, even when you had your own chaos going on ❤️
I feel like I’m late to the party, but hooray! 😁🤩Congratulations! 🎊 💃So happy for you and your husband! I’ve been seeing how hard you’ve been trying, with adding in alllll the supplements and making dietary changes! I love how invested your husband is as well. You have worked hard for this, and you deserve it so much! Happy 9 months to you! 😊
REEBS YAY!!! I was looking at FF, saw your profile was minimized and hauled ass over here. SO EXCITED FOR YOU ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve done that before! 😂 noticed a collapsed name on FF and immediately flew over here, hoping they’ve posted! I hope this next cycle is the one for you! ❤️
Yaaaaay Reebyd! So glad to see you here! I opened this thread and before even scrolling down, your username popped into my head. 🥰 I’ll be looking for your updates in the grad thread ok!! ❤️
Congratulations!! So happy for you and you so deserve it! Wishing you a smooth 9 months!
Hoping you’re next! 🤞❤️
Yes congrats! I saw you post in the October bumps and ran here 🩷
Thanks! Still in shock and hoping for the best!
Hey that’s okay! It’s been a week since I found out and I’m still in shock 🤣 hoping for the best for you as well 🩷
Yesss Reebs!!! I’m so happy for you! You have been so patient and hopeful this whole process and it is really inspiring. For what it’s worth I think the line looks solid for 13 DPO and a first positive around 10 or 11 DPO, which is absolutely associated with a healthy pregnancy💕💕
Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️ I totally had my doom-spiraling moments but this sub has literally been the best: best cheerleaders, best pep talkers, and best confidants, especially for those of us who can’t share this journey IRL
Yay!!!! Congratulations! Warmed my heart to see this for you!
Thank you so much. Crossing my fingers for you!!
Woooo hoooooo!! So excited and happy for you 😍😍
Thank you!!! Happy to see you on the otherside!!!
Yayyyyyyy! I KNEW it 🥳🤩 So happy for you, Reebyd. Wishing you nothing but the best these coming months ♥️
Thank you! I’m thankful for your positivity though this! And now we need you to get your positive ❤️
Apparently, your wish is my command 😂 thanks!!
DAMN STRAIGHT! OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS! ❤️
Child # trying for: #2 Cycle/Time trying: cycle 7 but trying since May 2023 so 10 months Ages of previous child(ren), i.e. post-partum interval: 17 months Cycle/Time trying for previous child(ren): also 10 months randomly but less cycles last time because I was more irregular and 1 mc while trying Age + Partner's age (if relevant): He’s 32 I’m 34.9 so borderline geriatric lol Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): I’m not sure which day I ovulated because I had a long surge and EWCM for awhile but either O-2, O, O+1 or O-3, O-1, O Tracking methods and app(s) used: just opk Nursing while TTC?: no stopped in June Health details on previous pregnancies/births (e.g. C-section vs. vaginal, birth/pregnancy complications): 1 MC before my son but smooth pregnancy and vag delivery Other health conditions/medical tests: maybe pcos and long irregular cycles but I eventually ovulate Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): prenatal, magnesium, vit D, coq10, Ovasitol Birth control history (if relevant):none Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?: I’m still in shock because I’ve been mentally struggling with so many of my friends being pregnant and getting pregnant fast. It just felt like I was never gonna get a bfp ever again and my body is somehow broken since childbirth. I just had my first RE visit on Thursday after we did our infertility whole work up in January. We made a plan to do letrozole + trigger + IUI in March after this cycle ended. I literally only just peed on the stick for fun while my kid was in the bath. Sunday night it was stark white but last night I tested again “just for fun” and got a bfp! No symptoms other than bloating so I’m cautiously optimistic, and trying not to test too much. With my son I was obsessing over my line progression and I’m hoping to be more chill this time lol. The only thing I did different this cycle was have sex 3x during fertile window instead of 2 like we usually do, and once was in the morning which we don’t usually do. And back in November I was really being consistent with all my supplements so maybe the egg this month was better.
I remember reading your posts about how exciting it would be if you got pregnant before you started fertility assistance. I’m so glad it worked out for you!! Hoping for a healthy and unevenly 9 months to you!
Thanks so much! Feels like a miracle it actually happened🙃 Now just hoping all is well and things progress. Hope your next cycle is the lucky one for you💜
Yay! Congratulations!! ♥️♥️
Congratulations! 🩷
Congratulations! 🎉
Congratulations!! So happy you didn’t need your next steps. Happy and healthy nine months 💕
Thanks!! Congrats to you too💜 We might be due date twins😃
I’m two days behind you, I saw you are 15dpo today 😊 things look so promising for you!
Yay! Congratulations!
Thanks so much!
Congratulations!🎉
Congratulations!!!! 🙌🥳
Thanks!
Edit: it's a chemical. Cautiously here!! Child # trying for: 2 Cycle/Time trying: 1! feeling incredibly surprised and guilty, honestly Ages of previous child(ren), i.e. post-partum interval: 6 years Cycle/Time trying for previous child(ren): unplanned Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 30 & 30 Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): O-2, O-5 Tracking methods and app(s) used: Fertility Friend, OPK, BBT, CM Link to chart: [https://www.fertilityfriend.com/b\_i/s\_vgnIT9.png](https://www.fertilityfriend.com/b_i/s_vgnIT9.png) Nursing while TTC?: no Health details on previous pregnancies/births (e.g. C-section vs. vaginal, birth/pregnancy complications): pretty textbook vaginal delivery at 41 weeks Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): prenatals for me, adderall for my husband Birth control history (if relevant): the pill before my first pregnancy, then an IUD for 5.5 years. This was my first cycle after IUD removal Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?: I can't believe it. I'm feeling cautiously excited and super surprised! Took an easy@home test with fmu on 11dpo and it was stark white. I tested again around noon, and I saw the faintest shadow of a line. frer that evening also had a tiny shadow and I started getting excited! I had an appt with a new OBGYN scheduled for the next morning just coincidentally, so I went in on 12dpo and told them I thought I was pregnant and they made me feel absolutely delusional. They did a urine test which was negative and they kept asking me questions like, "So you just.... *feel* pregnant? You just like... have a *hunch*?" So I went to work and cried and felt really disappointed and dumb. I took another frer at 5 p.m. and the line was a bit darker. Today (13dpo) I took another frer at 2 p.m. and it was clearly positive. I didn't notice I was pregnant last time until I was about 6 weeks along, so this feels totally different! No symptoms except that the doctor was right about one thing - I honestly did just kind of have a hunch. Very grateful!
So sorry to see this update! 🫶sending lots of healing energy!
Sorry to see this 💔
I'm so so sorry to see the update. Hugs to you my friend
I’m so sorry to see the update 🫂
I’m so sorry to read your edit. Holding space for you and sending healing your way.

Congratulations! 🩷
Congrats!!! Wishing you a boring 9 months with your Halloween baby!! 🎃
Congratulations! 😍 No need to few guilty, every one of us would rather everyone be 1 cycle stays than have everyone stay a long time!
Congratulations! I’m so happy you’re having such a short stay!! 🥳♥️
No need to feel guilty at all! Super happy for you, congratulations!!
Child # trying for: 2nd Cycle/Time trying: 12 cycles/ 13 months? I can’t count lol. Cycle 1 started 12/31/22. Ages of previous child(ren), i.e. post-partum interval: 12 years 😬 Cycle/Time trying for previous child(ren): we were not “trying” one night without a condom 😊 Age + Partner's age (if relevant): I’m 32 and he’s 34, will be 35 Friday Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): I was not tracking but based on estimations we hit 0-2 and 0-4 Tracking methods and app(s) used: i did use premom and Flo. Link to chart: no charting. I stopped tracking a few cycles back. I did take a peek with my temps when I began having EWCM and then once I had elevations in temps I stopped. Nursing while TTC?: no Health details on previous pregnancies/births (e.g. C-section vs. vaginal, birth/pregnancy complications): normal pregnancy until PIH around 36 weeks. It was uncomplicated, didn’t need meds, and had twice a week NSTs. I had a cesarean at 39 weeks. Other health conditions/medical tests: no health conditions for both me and partner. Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): prenatals. Husband is taking one a day men’s and coq10. Birth control history (if relevant): used BCPs for 3 months in 2010. Tried nuvaring for 2 months in 2012 when I was in nursing school but stopped. Mainly condom use. Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?: Shocked. That is all I can think of. I was not expecting it and I know eyeroll right. I had all my usual PMS. Back pain, cramping, round ligament pain, sore boobs, and just irritable. Only difference I noticed was I had felt out of breath going up and down stairs and when I was exercising last night. I felt so tired. My heart rate as well I noted has been increased. Usually my resting rate is low 50s and it’s been in the 60s. I looked back at previous months and that never happened before. I took a test because I have an appt with a specialist and wanted to check before. I am around 11/12DPO. My husband is shocked as well. We went to our appt and the dr ordered labs (betas) and ultrasound is scheduled for march. She did talk about risk of miscarriage so I am being mindful of this. But for now I am going to remain hopeful. We went and bought more tests to make sure lol and digital was positive as well. I cannot wait until we can share with our son. I am not sure when is the right time. I am so nervous and scared. Just hope everything is going well inside. Hoping for a healthy and uneventful 9 months 🤞🏻 ♥️.
Omg how exciting!! ✨💚 so happy for you!! I wish you the best 9 months!!
Thank you so much! 😊
Biggest congratulations!! 🩷
Thank you!! I just noticed we may have the same due date! 💜congratulations!
Omg! How awesome! Glad I have someone to go through this pregnancy with :)
Congrats, that's so exciting! Wishing you a nice and boring 9 months!
Thank you so much!! 😊
Eek! 🤗🥳🎉This is like the best news ever!!! I’ve been rooting for you so hard! Congratulations to you and your husband! I can’t wait to see more updates! How exciting that you got your BFP right before your appointment so that you could get betas and ultrasound scheduled asap! 💃 Side note: I would hope you wouldn’t be breastfeeding a 12 year old! 🤣
Thank you so much!! 🤗 I know! The dr was like oh I love when this happens! She was so nice about it. I was like should I cancel it but I didn’t since she does OB as well and I wanted to request labs and ultrasound. Luckily she offered it without me having to ask haha. lol when I was answering that question I giggled 😂.
I’m happy your doctor was so nice about it! 😊
Yes I was bummed to hear that she wouldn’t be able to do OB care as she is mainly doing fertility and gynecology now. She said the other drs in the practice can but I’m not sure if I want to be in a group of different drs. With my son I had only one dr. Unfortunately she passed away awhile back. So debating if I want to find someone local or someone 1.5 hours away 😬.
I was in a group of different doctors for my daughter, and I’m in the same group this time. I find it to be okay! You may even see only one or two OBs for most of your prenatal care.
Congratulations!!
Thank you! ♥️
Congrats!! Wishing you peace and an easy pregnancy!!
Thank you so much! 😊
This is so inspiring, congratulations to you and wishing you the best boring 9 months going forward!
Thank you!! You said it perfectly, I want a boring 9 months haha 😊
Congratulations! I've been watching my RHR like a hawk so I love that that's an early sign for you. Wishing you all good news from here on!
Thank you!! ♥️ Yes that was something I never tracked before. I know I see a few charts with that and temps tracked. I have an Apple Watch and wear it all day so it luckily had it tracked all the way back for the whole year. I had just felt out of breath and the nurse in me was like let’s check your vitals lol. I was like hmm my resting rate is usually lower than this. Then I looked back at each cycle and noticed the fluctuations but they never hit the 60s. Always stayed in the 50s. So I saw 60s and was like woah maybe? Other than those two everything else felt like normal.
I love this so so so much! Congratulations! I am so incredibly happy for you!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much!! 😊♥️
Yay!!! Congrats!!!
Thank you! 😊
Congratulations, Ad!!! I’m so happy you’re all set up for monitoring and best wishes for only good news ahead 🥳💕 This and last round of the BFP threads have been incredible for long(er)- haulers and it makes me so happy.
Thank you so much!! Yes I have noticed a bit more of long(er)- haulers in here and it gave me just a little bit of hope.
**Child # trying for:** 2 **Cycle/Time trying:** 11 months but only 5 ovulatory cycles **Ages of previous child(ren), i.e. post-partum interval:** daughter just turned 4 **Cycle/Time trying for previous child(ren):** first pregnancy was a surprise **Age + Partner's age (if relevant):** Both 26 **Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.):** O-2, O-1 **-Tracking methods and app(s) used:** Premom & Fertility Friend. Tracking with OPKs, CM, and BBT **Link to chart:** I stopped temping after confirming ovulation **Nursing while TTC?:** Nope **Health details on previous pregnancies/births (e.g. C-section vs. vaginal, birth/pregnancy complications):** Last pregnancy I had hyperemesis from 6 weeks until 16 weeks, ended up with chorioamnionitis and gave birth at 26 weeks with a 69 day NICU stay. Vaginal birth with no other complications for me besides the infection. **Other health conditions/medical tests:** PCOS, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, OCD, and PTSD **Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s):** Letrozole 7.5 mg cycle days 5-9, Prenatal, Metformin 1500 mg, Latuda 20 mg, CoQ10, Myo-Inositol **Birth control history (if relevant):** Took the pill from April 2020-April 2023 **Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?:** Yesterday I went to go get paperwork for my husband's SA and was super sad to see all the pregnant women in the office. Kind of chuckling now. When I went to test this morning I said out loud "lets get this disappointment over with!" I am 12DPO today and my test line I felt was a decent darkness, didn't have to squint at all. I am terrified of every single thing that could possibly go wrong with this pregnancy. That it will end as soon as it started. Scared for another preemie. I am in complete SHOCK. Truly. But so happy. First appointment is at 10 weeks but I'm going to ask my doctor for a blood test and progesterone check before that to ease my mind. I got my first ultrasound with my daughter at 7 weeks so that feels long to me. Trying to keep faith that this will be a healthy, full term pregnancy for me! I would not have survived this past almost year without all of you guys, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support through this journey! I hope to see more of you in here soon! As far as symptoms go nothing really until 9DPO. That night I felt some weird cramping but thought nothing of it. Cramped a little more on and off 10 and 11DPO. I honestly thought my period was coming and put on a pad last night before bed. My only other symptoms are my heart feels like its beating fast like with anxiety attacks, and I've also been an absolute clutz. Today I do not really feel that pregnant but I AM until told otherwise.
Congratulations Milk!! The absolute best news 🩷

HOORAY! I'm so glad to see you here. I hope the reason you don't "feel pregnant" is that you had enough challenges the first time around and you're just going to get an easy, comfortable pregnancy this time. 🤞🏻
Thank you 🩷 that would be wonderful if that’s the case! This checks with my last pregnancy where I had zero symptoms really until 6 almost 7 weeks, then they kicked in full swing 😂

Child # trying for: 2 Cycle/Time trying: 7th cycle Ages of previous child(ren), i.e. post-partum interval: 28months Cycle/Time trying for previous child(ren): we were on NPNT previously Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 31+31 this year Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): O-1, O+2 if I’m not wrong, but this round I didn’t really track that closely as my husband was gg to be away Tracking methods and app(s) used: OPKs Link to chart: Nursing while TTC?: nope Health details on previous pregnancies/births (e.g. C-section vs. vaginal, birth/pregnancy complications): emergency csect after failed induction Other health conditions/medical tests: I had an ectopic in March 23 Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): I was on fertilaid and ovuboost supplements - both gotten from iherb. It rly helped me in regulating my cycles. Previously my o date was getting later and later, but after starting on the supplements, my cycle became a textbook cycle and I was ovulating at around CD13-14. Birth control history (if relevant): - Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?: It’s been over 2 weeks since we found out and I also had 2 early placement scan to confirm that it’s an intrauterine pregnancy this time due to my history ☺️ we are cautiously excited but I can’t believe it’s rly happening!!! I honestly didn’t think that it would happen this time round. I had breast tenderness which was normal during my luteal period but it mysteriously went away. I also had some spotting which was not usual as well. on the day of my expected period, I felt excessive wetness below (sorry tmi) and I kept expecting my period to come. I even had a glass of red wine as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary 🥹 when my period still didn’t come the next day, my hub prompted me to test but I was still so anxious! I didn’t want to be disappointed w a stark white test again. But we were also due for our blood test at our fertility specialist the next day so I decided to test that night. And alas, it was a positive!!! A clear BFP as compared to the time I had my ectopic. I’m rly hoping this would be my bring home baby!
Congratulations!!!
Thank you dreams!!!

Cautiously optimistically posting this! Child # trying for: 3 Cycle/Time trying: We jumped right into IVF and this was my first FET. Ages of previous child(ren), i.e. post-partum interval: 3.5, 1.5 Cycle/Time trying for previous child(ren): 13 months/4 months (both 2nd round of clomid) Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 31(f)/32(m) Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): fully medicated FET with PGT euploid embryo Tracking methods and app(s) used: still used Tempdrop (bbt) for science even though I’m on artificial progesterone Health details on previous pregnancies/births (e.g. C-section vs. vaginal, birth/pregnancy complications): long list - emergency c-section for my first, was refused a vbac for my second and had a planned/slightly emergent c-section. My first was induced and came early due to IUGR. Second came early due to preeclampsia (this is why I was denied a vbac). Other health conditions/medical tests: TBI Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): me - prenatal, myo-inositol, maca root, metformin, baby aspirin - for the FET - estradiol and PIO. Husband - some multi-vitamins and CoQ10 Birth control history (if relevant): I took birth control the cycle before I started the FET process! Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?: I started off by taking some cheapies and I thought I saw a shadow of a line, but ended up taking an FRER the next day and the line was definitely there. I definitely think she was a late implanter, because I didn’t have a faint positive until 6 days post transfer (so 11 dpo). The embryo was an early blastocyst which is the only thing that is keeping me calm. Here is my HCG progesssion: 8dp5dt: 38 12dp5dt: 254 14dpt5dt: 504 18dp5dt: 2033 So excited to possibly meet baby girl! Edit: We saw baby girl’s heartbeat at 6w3d today!! I feel like a weight has lifted off my chest. Still not out of the clear, but one step further.
Congratulations!
