Pregnant after IF

Intro

HI ladies. I'm still very new here and I've posted on a few other communities and it seems like I've been doing everything wrong. I'm new at this and was just looking for support from others going through my same situation. I don't have a lot of female support since most of my friends/family get PG super easy. Some on other blogs suggested that I join this community instead. Here's a little background: I'm 31, hubby is 35. We've been married for almost 11 years. Didn't start TTC until Oct 2010. We got very lucky on our first try but it ended in a MC in Dec 2010. We waited 3 months and started trying again (March 2011). During that same time frame my hubby was diagnoised with RA. He started meds right away, which have helped him so much. Well, ever since then we haven't been able to get preggo. This past May I finally spoke to my Dr and after blood work she said my FSH levels were too high and recommended I see a specialist. We started seeing our Dr in June and after many more tests it was determined that it was a male factor, possibly due to meds. My dr suggested IUI. I started Clomid earlier this month, followed by 2 shots of Bravelle and 1 trigger shot of Ovidrel. IUI was on Sept 12. Daily progestrone suppositories. Today I tested and I got my BFP! I did notice some slight spotting. I couldn't really tell what it was. Its creamy (progestrone) mixed with brownish/gray. I don't know if this is AF making her way or if this is implantation bleeding. Any thoughts? I guess I'll call my dr to give him the news and go from there. Thanks for hearing me out.
Married 11/28/01. Me: 31- Elevated FSH 9.1 Hubby: 35- Low sperm count/mobility/ RA meds. TTC since Oct 2010. BFP- Nov 2010, ended in MC Dec 2010. Laporoscopy for possbile ectopic/D&C. TTC again since March 2011- no success. Fertility Dr- May 2012. Lots of B/W, HSG, Laporoscopy. All came back normal. Determined it was a male factor. IUI#1- Sept 2012. Clomid, 2 shots of Bravelle, 1 trigger shot of Ovidrel and daily progetrone suppositories. 4 Follicles,3 good ones, 1 small one. TWW.

  • Welcome... as long as it's brown you're good.  Could be implantation bleeding could be your cervix irritated from the crinone.  For now, I would not worry.

    Congrats!!
