Warning: BFP (Holy crap)

First of all, sorry for the big picture-I can't figure out how to shrink it. But here's my story!

For those of you who don't recognize my name, I've been around here for the past 1.5 years (ttc 2.5 years). As you can see from my siggy, I have PCOS and high prolactin and DH has low motility and count. We did 1 fresh IVF and 2 frozen transfers, resulting in 2 miscarriages and one failed cycle. We were currently taking a break and waiting to see Dr. KK because I found some blood clotting issues that my RE refused to address as significant. Upon recommendation of my regular OB gyn (and my own research), I took it upon myself to take baby aspirin daily for my general health if nothing else. I was taking my bbt so I knew when to expect a period (because my ovulation is unpredictable, but my luteal phase is consistently 14 days). Well, today was day 15 and no sign of a period. My lower back hurt and my instinct really felt like it was happening but my brain was telling me "Really? Have you been paying attention the past 2.5 years? You are infertile!" I guess my brain was wrong because two lines popped up instantly-actually the test line came up first! Two cycles of taking baby aspirin (and my meds for high prolactin) and we have our first natural BFP!

We are ecstatic and petrified at the same time. Two miscarriages makes it hard not to worry. But my optimistic side tells me this is it-this will be our take home baby. The due date is 2 days after our first due date-so maybe it's one of our little angels looking down on us.

It will be a while before I feel consident enough to leave this board but thanks so much to everyone who has shown their support along their way. Never lose hope! Your miracle may come when you least expect it. I used to get frustrated when people would say that because I'd think 'not for me..' but crazier things have happened apparently!
