I am 31 years old, my husband is 29. We have been TTC for 12 months. Everything is normal with both of us, but we were frustrated when nothing happened after about 9 months. My OB put me on Clomid for 3 months thinking it might help move things along. My hormone levels increased, but no BFP.
Right around the 1 year mark we went to a fertility specialist and he ran more tests, one of which was the HSG test (to see if there are any blockages in the uterus or tubes). The test came out normal and everything was clear. We were all set to do Femara and an IUI next month, but don't need to now since we are pregnant!! I wasn't taking anything this month, but the HSG may have helped! My dr. was not really surprised that we got pregnant on the same cycle as the HSG.
BFN 2 days before missed period
BFP 5 days after missed period
Dr. confirmed with blood test!!!
It is hard to say if I had any symptoms because I had a bad cold the week I was supposed to get my period. I was very stuffed up, achy, and tired. I did notice my breast tenderness did not go away like it normally does right before I get my period. I put a tampon in 2 days in a row expecting my period to start, but it never came!
I am still in shock that it has finally happened! There is nothing we did differently this month, except for making sure to BD after that HSG test.
Waiting a year for our miracle has been very hard, but worth it!!
