After 14 long months...
...I finally got my BFP!!!!!
Here are all the details, it's long so feel free to skip if you like! hahaha
THIS MORNING'S DETAILS: yesterday my temp dropped a little, so i thought af was on her way. then this morning, it shot way up, the highest it has ever been for me. i just KNEW it then, that i was pg! i quick ran to the bathroom to test... i peed in a cup, did a dip test and a clearblue digital a few minutes later. i could see a little something starting to show on the dip test, but it was so light that i was afraid i was tricking myself. a minute later, i looked at the digital and it read PREGNANT!! DH (who works nights) wasn't home yet, so i waited til he got home about 30 minutes later and i tried to play it cool, which was very hard to do bc my heart was pounding and i was so shaky! i told him i had a gift for him "just because", and when he opened it, there was a newborn onsie that said "I Love Daddy" on it! He was pretty much speechless for a couple minutes... then he says "wait...whats going on right now??!!" i could barely get out "i'm pregnant!" while i was sobbing. haha. i then proceeded to show him the pg tests and we were basically just grinning like mad and hugging and kissing after that!
SYMPTOMS: my most intense symptom was bloating. the past week i have had some serious bloating. it didn't seem to matter if i ate, if i was hungry, if i just woke up, or just went to the bathroom, it was always there. besides the bloating, i have been kinda wiped out and tired. a little sleepy and pretty much zero energy. i have been having light cramping which goes on pretty much all day. my boobs haven't been that bad, a little soreness here and there, very sensitive nipples, but thats really it. i also had hemroids this week if this is going to get worse as pregnancy goes on, then i am freakin scared!! no nausea or anything like that yet. lets hope it says that way for a bit!
OUR TTC ISSUES: We have been trying for 14 months, with opks, temping, and sometimes using preseed. DH has low sperm count. the past few months we have been trying to bd less often so that he can build up his sperm. for the past couple months, DH has also been taking a supplement that 'may' have helped. i don't want to say that's what did it bc i honestly just dont know. it's called semenax, its kind of expensive, but we were willing to give it a try, so we did. the only reason i thought it may be helpful is because a lot of ingredients listed in it are also supplements that are listed in the book The Infertility Cure (in the chapter for men, helping low sperm count). Also, my luteal phase was looking kind of short when we first started (9-10days) so i have been taking B6 for about 6 or 7 months, which helped lengthen it out.
THIS MONTH: DH continued to take his supplements, and i took my prenatals and b6. besides that we broke all the rules!! we went on a roadtrip (to boston) the weekend before i O'ed. we bd'd on a sunday (cd10), while on our trip just because we wanted to, not planning it out, and i O'ed on a tuesday (cd12) which was earlier than i thought it would be. while we were a way i decided it was break time, and i ate what i wanted and drank what i wanted.(i never got really drunk or anything though). i continued this when we got home too!
Whew! so i think that is all the details!! Oh yea, and technically Brooke was wrong - she had said conception/find out may/june. She was pretty darn close though!!
Thanks for reading, and thank you all for being here. I haven't posted too often, but i come to these boards EVERY DAY, and its so helpful to see other ladies in a similar situation. to all!!!
