So I am back on. A miracle happened when I gave up and got on with my life.

I am PREGNANT.

All by ourselves, we did it. No help. No drugs. No nothing. I just kept saying to myself, "Let go and let God." And I did.

We're not very far along. Somewhere between five and six weeks. But that's enough for me. I will not let last year's miscarriage influence this miracle.

We did absolutely everything wrong when we got pregnant last month. I mean from not BD-ing multiple times around ovulation (I was overseas for a conference, had zero libido and we only did it ONCE the entire week we were away), to using non-sperm friendly lube, to me being on top, bouncing right off afterwards and "cleaning" myself up (I used to stay in bed, tilt my hips, be on the bottom during sex, etc.).

And YET.

And yet. We got f-ing PREGNANTNANTNTNNANTNANNT!!!!!!!

O.M.G.

I still don't believe it. Other than my breasts killing me, being terribly tired in the afternoon, and feeling light-headed nearly 24-7, I feel good. My beta is through the roof though (16,783 on Tuesday), which is not normal for five weeks. Got checked out. Saw the gestational sac and the egg yolk. Not sure why my beta is so high, but I'm not going to dwell on it. This child is a MIRACLE and I must continue to let go and let God, and not worry. When I miscarried last year my beta never made it to 2,000 and that was at over eight weeks.

So I had to come on and share the news. I'll be off again for a few weeks because I'm actually getting on a plane again and going to do my diss field work. But I'll come back on and let you know how the nine-week scan looks. I have to have faith that we'll see a strong little heart beat when I come back. Baby will be there and growing strong.

Much love to all....

 

[MsJMouse]

[hakunamatata]

Hooray Soleil!! Wonderful news!!!

 

[MsJMouse]

Oh wow crumbs. I cant believe you only have ten days to go. Cant wait to see the pics.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Omfg soleil!!!! Congratulations!! It just goes to show it can happen when you least expect it!

Regal, thank you Hun, hoping your dh will see the light soon!

Readyornot, checked your journal, congrats on your baby boy Hun! he's gorgeous. Hope to hear the name soon.

I'm going for a scan again tomorrow. Went on wed & 1 follie was 18mm so it looked like ovulation was any day. I've had no pain so not so sure it's happened yet. I hope it's not as we were supposed to bd tonight but ended up arguing . Sonographer did say my pain can't have been my cyst as its considered small... So guessing its been severe ovulation pain x

 

[mrsmax]

Soleil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So wonderful to hear your news - still think about you and wonder how you are so great to get that post. Please let us know how it all goes

MrsP - good luck with the scan - you are next in line for your BFP

 

[Aisak]

Congrats Soleil!!! Wonderful news.

As for me...i'm super thrilled to announce that i've started a LTTTC journal. And by thrilled i mean pissed off and sad that i even have to type those goddamned 5 letters. Maybe it'll be like Murphy's Law and now because i've started such a journal i'll get pregnant *laughs so hard she falls off her chair*. Ahem.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Aw Aisak bless you hun! Our time will come!

Mrsmax - not long for your 12 week scan???

Gosh Crumbs, can't believe your list of those still TTC is so short now! Scary!

My follie was 22mm this morning so is about to pop any time! So after DH went to sleep in a huff last night (cos he was tired, wanted to DTD but I was messing about on the ipad) - he woke me up at 1am insisting that we BD as he was worried we would miss our window! Bless him! Will DTD again tonight and back for another scan on Tuesday x

 

[mrsmax]

Had my 12 week scan today and I was terrified but it went great!

Sonographer said it was the perfect baby, measuring a couple of days ahead. He/she moved lots and we got to see the feet and hands and everything.

Only downer (and there is always one) is that she thinks I should see a consultant at 21 weeks cause of my fibroids - she said not to worry I might just get some pain from them but shouldnt effect baby, but you know us LTTCer ladies!!!! Still, focusing on the positives. I didnt go for a Downs test, but she said even though I hadnt asked for one, she said the nuchol fold looked great and very low risk. Phew Will work out how to post photos soon!!!

Never ever thought I would get to today - it does happen ladies!!!!

 

[Teeshawn]

Hey i have been ttc for number 2 for 4 months now and i cant wait. i am 30 years old and how i wish they could just be twins so i dont have to try again for number 3

 

[MrsPTTC]

mrsmax!! Can't wait to see your pics, I'm so happy for you! Are you announcing it on fb soon? Can't wait to see all the congrats for you!

Welcome to bnb teeshawn & good luck!

I had another scan this morning, folly still there & 'raggy' so it looks like either I had just ovulated or it was shrinking & I'm having an anovulatory cycle They seemed doubtful to be honest & don't want to see me again this cycle, just need to ring on cd1 & she'll have a look at my cycle... x

 

[Aisak]

Hey ladies.

My IUI is booked for July 5, 6, 7 (depending on when i get a positive OPK). i start Clomid tomorrow.

It's been a difficult couple of days. My assistant (i'm a teacher) had to be taken out of my classroom by paramedics yesterday and she died shortly after. We had worked together for 3 years and were close friends. Needless to say i'm devastated.

 

[rosababy]

mrsmax, so glad your 12 week scan went well!! Now does it seem real?! Let's see some pics! And yes, you need to start a journal. Pronto.

Welcome Teeshawn!

MrsP, bummer about your scan. What's your plan for next cycle?

Aisak, I'm so sorry to hear about your assistant. That's scary and so sad. That IUI is coming up soon though! Very exciting!

Afm, not much to report. Doing good. Jack is moving a lot lately, which is exciting. Often, he'll put a foot or something right in my ribs and I'm like what on earth are you doing??

 

[MrsPTTC]

Oh Aisak how horrible for you so sorry Hun . Great news about the Iui though!

Rosa, I think she just needs to work out from my cycle on cd1 whether I've ovulated & assume if not they might up the clomid dose?
