Hi ladies,
I wanted to share my story, hopeful it will give someone a little bit of encouragement.
I was very hesitant to post a success story so early, but once I thought about it, getting this far is a success already, and i'm ready to share!
First a little about me, when we started trying to conceive i was 26, my husband was 31. Neither of us have ever had kids.
My husband and I started trying officially right after we got married, we knew for years we wanted to kids and did not want to waste any time! We tried for about a year before I went to see my Dr. for help. We had been using ovulation tests, i was very regular, and could soon start to predict when i'd ovulate with out the tests. My family Dr. referred us to a specialist, we started with a semen analysis, all came back great! Then I went in for an HSG, oh boy that was uncomftorable, i had one blocked tube, which was cleared during the procedure. Then they did a lap in November 2011 and I found out i had endo.
It was terrifying and relieving all at the same time, I had an explanation for the fertility issues, and all the issues that went along with AF.
The Dr. said we had the best chance of conceiving in the next 6 months, when, if nothing happens we'll come back to see him. We had our follow up appointment booked for May 2, 2012.
Each month AF reared her ugly head every month, and our last month of trying I had to go out of town days before i was due to ovulate, my DH had to stay home We BD'd right before I left and as soon as i got home. I was sure we were out that month, what were the chances... Well April 15, 2012 I took a test, just on the off chance, and sure enough BFP! Just a couple weeks shy of our next Dr. visit!
I couldn't believe it! I still barely believe it!
I had officially given up. People around me kept telling me to relax it will happen when it happens. I think the next person to say that to me was going to get my foot up their rear end.
I unfortunately don't have much advice for you, and I know you can't relax, I sure couldn't. I didn't think it was going to happen for me, and i'm sure others feel the same way. I'm thinking of everyone and I have my fingers crossed that more BFP's come to those LTTTC.
My husband doesn't get it, but I told him when we announce the pregnancy, its NOT going on my FB. There are far too many ladies on there who I know are having troubles conceiving or just can't. I can be excited and happy without rubbing it in anyones face. I know those ladies will be happy for me, but we can talk about it face to face.
I'm incredibly excited for this, and i'm even enjoying to morning sickness, no matter what i wake up every morning thankful.
