SO some of you will know me from the IUI check ins.
We've been TTC for a year, then started Clomid & IUI in June. Our first treatment cycle looked SO good, 5 follies & 3 back to back insems, but was unsuccessful.
We had to stop treatment due to travel for work. Since my DH works in the same group of companies as me, we traveled together, but he stayed on later than me so we were only together for a couple of days during my fertile phase - also because we decided to take a break after the treatment month, I wasn't temping so I didn't really know when my fertile days where exactly...
My cycle on Clomid was 4 days longer than usual (I'm usually 29 days, but the medicated cycle was 33 days), so when AF was late I figured it was still affected by the treatment, I had all the pms symptoms, sore BB's, cramps, back ache... BUT last night I woke up during the night with quite sharp AF like cramps, I wanted to get up and take some tablets, but the cramps faded (unlike my AF cramps) and I fell asleep again. This morning when I opened my eyes I told DH that I was testing. I only had one really bargain basement test (having used all the nice digital ones during the previous cycle when were were VERY hopeful!!), but it turned positive almost immediately!!!
We cried, laughed, went through an entire range of emotions, I really can't believe it has happened, nothing this cycle was ideal - no treatment, poor timing, work stress, travel!!! I will test again tomorrow morning to just confirm, since I am just still too stunned. I don't know how I am going to keep this from friends & family for another 7 weeks.
I am so thankful for all the support I've received here, so glad to share my happy news with you and just to say, that even the non-perfect months can turn out perfect!
