Hi everyone, I haven't been on in a very long time and was curious if anyone I knew was still around, I see a few are (Moni, Hopin) maybe more, I didn't go back very far.
DH and I did 2 IUI's back at the beginning of the year, each failed. We ran out of money and gave up for a while. We tried on our own but since i just don't O on my own and he has the morphology issue it seemed futile. So I decided I had to adopt some better habits, lose a few pounds and he cut back on caffeine and smoking and started taking his vitamins regularly. After I lost a few lbs, and started exercising more I started having more "normal" periods, averaging 34-36 day cycles. My last two cycles I thought maybe I ovulated, but this very last one I was pretty sure of because I had the EWCM and wanted to BD a lot lol, had sore nipples (TMI) and I felt what I was certain was ovulation pains, so we BD'd twice around the time I thought maybe I was going to O, not really trying but figured what the heck, it's fun to practice.
I thought for sure over a week ago I was going to start, had cramps and my usual back pain, but 7 days went by and just cramping and yesterday I woke up nauseated, but my DH had indigestion from dinner as well..he talked me into taking a test today and HOLY COW,
I took 3 tests, then had to go to the store and buy some digitals too.. I still don't believe it. The CBD said 2-3 weeks, so it is sinking in a little more after seeing that.
I'm going to call the Dr in the morning and hopefully get bloodwork scheduled. I'm totally in shock, we were told with our issues we only had a 3-5% chance of conceiving and that was with medications. on our own even less...
I had to take a break from TTC because it wore me down and stressed me out, but we were planning on going back for more treatments in January, and then on to IVF..just praying this is real and will stick!
Moni, I'm so glad you are getting your IVF started, it has been a long road for you, I'm going to pray for multiples for you lol,
