This is the post that for some reason I never wrote. I meant to and never got around to it or forgot for some reason.
Here is the post I wrote when I first found out & the details are below.
As you probably know it wasn't the easiest journey to this point. I should say that getting pregnant wasn't that difficult. It was the staying pregnant part that was. This pregnancy happened on cycle 6. I also got pregnant on cycles 2 &3. So 50% of time time I was able to conceive.
I know the odds are 20% each cycle, but we had better odds I think due to the fact that I was charting and using opk's.

Finding Out:
I tested that morning at 11dpo with a wondfo and thought I saw a line, but I thought I'd been seeing lines the last few days so I didn't really think it was positive. I checked again fifteen minutes later (I know it was after the time limit) and it was faint, but clearly there. So I walked out into the kitchen and told Rob: 'I think I got a positive pregnancy test.' I held my pee and tested again with a frer an hour later and the second line was there.
Timing:
Our timing was pretty good. We hit o-3,o-2,o-1, and o.
What we did:
I temped, used opks, took pnvs, we had sex a lot, and I drank pom juice and lots of water. I actually used bona dea as well (I didn't buy this; I won this). I took it from a week or so into my cycle until I confirmed O.
Symptoms:
I had cramps and backaches pretty much the whole 2ww. I also had pregnancy related dreams three times the week I got the positive.
