Cycle: TTC for 22 months
Ovulation cycle day: I stopped using ovulation tests a few months ago as my cycles have always been pretty regular, and I started forgetting and didn't want to spend more money on them. I knew about when I would be ovulating, so we just made sure to hit that window. I noticed EWCM on CD 12 and my app calculated (I assume from previous history) that I ovulated on CD 16.
Relevant BD/BD method (SMEP, Shettles, etc.): BD on CD 9, 12, 14, 17 and 23!
Tracking methods and apps used: Glow app
Symptom spotting: I had fatigue and headache on CD 16 and 17 and the sore breasts began on CD 18 and haven't stopped since! I've also noticed in the past week that my nipples have been sore. The even bothered me throughout the day from rubbing on my bra! I thought it was definitely odd that my breasts were that sore for so long.
Day of positive test(s): The evening of Friday, June 2, CD 28, DPO 12! I bought a test on my way home from work because I just had a feeling. Honestly though, when I took it I was just expecting a negative, as that has always been the result. I could barely finish in the bathroom before it turned a blazing positive!! Didn't even have to use 1st morning urine!
Supplements and medications: I have been taking prenatals since before we started TTC. I wasn't sure how soon we'd conceive, so I wanted to be sure I had a good supply of nutrients in my body beforehand, in case it happened quickly. Here is the list:
New Chapter Prenatal - (3 pills a day)
NOW DHA/EPA - (1 pill a day)
Solger Folate - (1 pill a day)
Vital Proteins Beef Liver -
(I was taking 1 pill a day, now I upped it to 3 pills a day)
Viva Naturals Krill Oil - (1 pill every other day)
Great Lakes Collagen Powder - (I haven't been taking this while TTC, but I've already purchased some and will be using it every day!)
Birth control history, if relevant: I haven't been on birth control in many, many years.
Health conditions/medical tests: Chronic headaches, although I have noticed that it's pretty much food related. That and my acne. I've been eating much better the past couple months and it's made a HUGE difference. I never was tested for anything, since we were TTC for 22 months. Hubs did get tested in March and everything came back completely normal. I had my yearly checkup in July, so that was when I was going to discuss my next steps.

Other (advice, magic secrets, freaking out, miscellaneous): According to all the apps and my calculations, today I am 4 weeks, 1 day! Hubs and I couldn't be more excited!! I know it's still really early, and that scares us a little, but we've never seen a positive test before and today I AM PREGNANT! It's been a hard 22 months for the both of us, but when we saw that positive, it made it all worth it. As for how I'm feeling today: I have been cramping a little bit and my chest is still sore. No morning sickness yet, but honestly I can't wait for ALL THE SYMPTOMS! I'll be calling my doctor on Monday morning to schedule my first appointment. :D
If anyone has any questions, please let me know!
I bought two bottles on Amazon:

But I was at Walmart last night and saw they actually have Krill Oil in the supplement isle and it's way cheaper.

I guess one might be able to argue a quality difference to justify the price difference, but I cannot speak to that. I guess if you compare how many mg per serving, that makes the Viva cheaper
Some people rave about the pork clouds.

Some other ideas:
Krill oil is better absorbed and more stable. Choose one with plenty of astaxanthin (the anti-inflammatory component). I take this one.
