Hi Ladies -
Faith - just a quick question..I see that you have been ttc since 2008...were you ever tested for anything or diagnosed with anything? It is just inspirational to see that you have gotten pg and would like to hear your story.
TTCbaby,
ok here goes my story..
from early 2006-07 all I had was just 4 periods in 1.2 years which was very terrible
.so my doc wanted me to do a scan and she said that I have mild PCOS
she asked me to reduce few kilos and since at that time I actually didn't plan for a baby so I didn't ask for any medications
it almost took a year for me from then to bring back my periods on regular basis and from end of 2007 unti mid 2008 my periods came back on track
33-35 days cycle which my doc said was good and she did a scan again n said that everything was fine now and I can go ahead..all I did to regularise periods was I had pitted dates 4-5 numbers everyday in the morning religiously in empty stomach for almost a year and that slowly made my cycle regularise and also I lost about 4-5 kilos in 8-10 months time..
Now since my periods was on track for past few months we started to try in 2008 mid and I fell pregnant but I didn't know I was as I started to spot at the time my period was due and I thought I got my periods
I didn't realise at that time
but after 5 days of spotting, I didn't get the flow at all
I took a test on cd40 and I was preggo for the first time
I went to my GP and said I am preggo but been spotting for 5 days...she said wait for a week n come back coz we really cant do anything about that
unfortunately the spotting never stopped and on cd46-47 I had miscarriage
this was in Jul 2008
I again fell preggo in Feb 2009, this time I guess it was chemical pregnancy coz after jus 3-4 days of being preggo I started to bleed and then miscarried on cd40..
Only after this I realised that I have to do tests, but no doc cud give me exact reason for both the miscarriages as all those blood tests came back as normal
then we thought we cud wait for 2-3 months (MAR-JUNE 09) before trying again as I was totally depressed and was not ready for a failure
in the meantime my DH's SA came back as borderline (quantity was also very low as per the standard) so he started taking zinc and vitamin c
.after 3 months ( from July 09)we started trying and we never fell preggo ( we tried around 8 cycles)
.I again went to doc this Feb 2010
then he did some tests again n said that my progesterone level was very low jus 1.7 on cd21 test and said that I have anovoulation problem
ie I don't ovulate every cycle
.he then prescribeb clomid to take from March
in the meanwhile we did a SA test again for my DH and this time the report was alright except for morphology was a bit less
but doc said not to worry as mortality was 60% which was good
I started taking clomid (50mgs)cd2-6 when I got my periods in March, cd21 progesterone reveled that I had ovulated but it was a BFN
again in April 23rd I started my 2nd cycle same dosage, and I took it again cd2-6...and this time doc didnt do a cd21 bloodwork..I was not even sure if I ovulated as I never got a darker line on those OPKs at all...to my surprise I got BFP on 28th may...I cud not believe coz I spotted for 2 days and thought the witch has comeback again...but thankgod she didnt come...today I got my blood test reports...the look normal to me, coz my doc was not available today to discuss..am goin to meet him the dayafter...jus keeping my fingers crossed this time for a sticky bean..
Iam thankful and grateful to god..without him I wud have never made it up
am also thankful to all u wonderful ladies, u were always there for me when I needed u all the most..
I sincerely pray n hope everyone get their BFP soon
Miracles do happen and it will happen to everyone..
Thanks ttcbaby for goin thro' the whole story, I guess u shd go for a coffee break now coz u shd have become exhausted by now..
good luck to all
FP
I didnt have any other symptoms at all..I was thinking the witch wud soon come..but except for very lil pink/brown spotting on DPO 16 and DPO17 I didnt have anything..actually I thought AF was here finally but the actual bleeding didnt start and then I took the HPT test again on DPO18 which is yday and got a BFP right away...so anything can happen dear..I too lost hope to tell u..but I shd say until u miss ur period u have very good chances for a BFP..
xxxx
