Warning: BFP mentioned

fabumamafabumama member
in TTC after 35
Hi ladies! I am still in shock that after a short time I'm am so beyond blessed to have gotten a positive BFP today. I decided to join here originally because the first time it took us 9 cycles to conceive and I was mentally prepared for it to take at least that long. This time it was 3 cycles. Just to remind y'all, I am 38 with no known fertility issues but still I never expected to to happen like this. I am very cautiously optimistic! What we did differently this time is started opks from day 1, weekly acupuncture treatments, Chinese herbs from the acupuncturist and I started drinking Plexus Slim (some say it has helped them overcome PCOS but I don't have that). I had bought Preseed and Mucinex but we didn't use it this month and we only had sex twice on the exact 2 days of my positive opks. I was On the fence to post this since I am still new but I truly hope this post may be encouraging to some of you. I'm very nervous and excited and of course will be calling my ob//gyn first thing in the morning. I had extremely low progesterone the first time (dropped all the way to 7.5) so we need to figure that out stat!!!

    OMG so happy for you!

    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April

    In case y'all are wondering....Monday's results: 275 hcg, 33 progesterone. Wednesday: 799 hcg, 25.1 progesterone. I'm trying not to worry about the drop in progesterone. My acupuncturist promised me it will be fine and the nurse said it is really good. Positive thoughts from here on out! I should be 4 weeks 1 day today.
