Trouble TTC

2nd IUI and 1st round of Clomid BFP!

So I haven't been on here in a long time (since December) because a lot of people got mad at me for being upset after not conceiving in 6 months...I thought I had 2 positive pregnancy tests in December but I think it might've been a chemical since I got AF 2 days late. Well I actually had an IUI in January, didn't work. Found out in May that I was allergic to sperm. Yes you read it right, sperm! :( we did a post coital test and after only 3 hrs they were all completely dead. Doctor says it's very rare and that we'll have to stick to IUI's. Well when I started AF in May I asked to try clomid as well and he agreed. I took it from cycle day 4-8. So here are my symptoms and other things that I will put up for everyone...

CD12- went in to get ultrasound to look at follicle sizes. On my left one was 2.8cm, my right had one 2.0cm and 1.8cm. Wanted to do trigger shot but dr didn't realize there was no pharmacies around that had it in stock :( extremely upset.
CD13- was going to do IUI today but OPK's said I wasn't quite ovulating.
CD14- OPK getting darker.
CD15- did my IUI today, didn't hurt nearly as bad as the first time. Dr also said my CM looked much better this time as well :)
1dpo- nothing
2-6dpo- nipples were really sore, figured it was the clomid side effects.
7-8dpo- whole boob started hurting now.
9dpo- boobs are still sore, took a HPT in the morning, knew it'd be negative but couldn't help myself, and it was. That night me and SO went to dinner and I ate an entire Belgian waffle with strawberries, chocolate, whipped cream, maple glazed syrup, plus bacon before he even got halfway done. Then I continued to help him eat his. He called it, said "you've got to be pregnant"
10dpo- I had one FRER left so took it that morning. Laid back down instead of actually waiting in the bathroom. 3 min later I looked and saw a faint line! Went to doctors, HAD to have it confirmed to know it wasn't an evap or just my imagination. They called me a half hr after my blood test was done saying it was positive. Bought 2 more pregnancy tests anyway.
11dpo- a darker positive today.

I'm still trying to come off of cloud 9. I just can't believe this had finally happened. I know there are women out there who have infertility that is probably worse then mine or women who have been trying longer. But if we wouldn't have done the post coital then we would've tried and tried not knowing I couldn't get pregnant naturally. So please don't be rude about this discussion. It was a long 11 months and I prayed I wouldn't have to go past that yr mark and they were finally answered. I honestly think Clomid did the trick, and we used preseed and rePHresh. So baby dust to those who have been ttc, I know now that it will happen for you!! :)

  • @cammi92‌ I'm assuming you meant to post on TTGP, but this post won't go over well there either.

  • Well I looked at other forums and they were for women ttc over 12+ months. This one said trouble ttc, and I was having trouble and do have fertility issues.
  • Well I'm sorry that I upset anyone. I just know I've had trouble as well as everyone else. I did put in the caption of this "BFP" so if that was going to upset anyone then they shouldn't have opened it.
  • It's not even about whether or not you have fertility issues. This is considered a drive-by. We celebrate the BFPs of the women who are members of this board.

  • I've never jumped in with snark, but today seems like a good day to start!  

    For real...baby dust?  Good lord...if all we needed was baby dust then none of us would be here.  Is your baby dust going to pay for my IVF costs?  If it is, please send some right on over.  

    Before posting, take some time to read the etiquette for the board.  It is clearly posted at the top.  Your BFP doesn't give any of us hope, but thanks for shoving it in our faces.

  • This is the second or third drive-by I've seen today. Go away. Although, it's definitely a no-no to post drive-bys (especially on 3T) and most people on the other boards will check post history and you will be flamed. So be prepared. Your best bet is to apologize and then never post here again.
