So, day before yesterday, got my BFP! Yesterday, doctor confirmed and ultrasound showed everything going well. This is #2 for the hubby and I. With my daughter, I had suffered an ectopic 10 months before. Had been trying desperately to get pregnant after the ectopic...it had been a major emotional blow, even though we had just gotten married and not really trying when it happened. So after, we had been doing the clomid and went through all sorts of testing. And the very month I decided to take a break from trying, we got pregnant. This time around, same deal just about. When my daughter turned 2.5, we decided it was time to start trying. After all, I was about to turn 35 and the clock was ticking. I was temping religiously and checked in with my doc to make sure there weren't any problems. As soon as we started trying, I started experiencing mid-cycle spotting every month and the doc said I wasn't shedding my lining completely. Weird, I know, but he didn't seem concerned. Did a couple rounds of clomid...nothing. This past December, I felt like I did everything right! I was using Pregnitude combined with the clomid, temping and using fertility friend, and hitting all the right dates...still nothing. Very disappointed!! In January, found out the hubby was going to have to have back surgery. Decided to put the baby making on the back burner. In the past month, we put our house up for sale, to buy a bigger home with acreage. Completely not thinking about babies, just too busy! Only thing I had been doing the last few months was logging my period start date into fertility friend so I knew when to expect the next cycle to begin. And oddly enough, the mid cycle spotting had stopped in January. only had it during the few months in the fall when we were trying. On Monday, while at work, it hit me like a lightening bolt...I should have started my period! Checked fertility friend and sure enough I was 11 days late!! Still wasn't thinking it could be true. That evening after work, found 1 clear blue easy (blue dye, eek) in my drawer. Immediately, a big fat positive line!! Shock doesn't even describe it! Wasn't till the doctor confirmed it and saw it wasn't another ectopic, did I finally allow myself to get excited. It just seems like a dream. So since I wasn't logging symptoms I can't really tell u specifics on when I felt what. I did have the normal sore breasts and insatiable appetite, but that's normal PMS for me. I also, have had a killer sinus infection for the past week. And some weird heart flutters here and there. The fatigue has set in the last few days as well, but overall I feel pretty good. Unlike with my daughter, I was sick as a dog from day 1. I just want to say to u ladies out there who have been trying month after month, it really can happen when u least expect it. I know that putting it out of ur mind is easier said than done. I've been there! But if u can, it may be the thing u need to help things along! Baby dust to u all!
