Guess I should have started the OPKs sooner... **warning**

ewennerewenner member
in TTC after 35
...because today I got a BFP after using OPKs for the first time this cycle.  (For those who read my blue dye thread, I followed advice and used the blue dye test first adn then confirmed with a digital - BFP both times).  So maybe our timing has been off for the last year, or maybe we just got lucky this cycle, but whatever it is, we'll take it.  If you all don't mind, I still want to hang around here for awhile.  You ladies are so awesome, and I can't even tell you how much I appreciate all the support and everything I've learned along the way.  

PS - When I told DH, the first thing he said after "are you serious?!?!" was, "let's get a bottle of champagne to celebrate!"  Haha.  Nope.

    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    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
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!

    Thank you all again so much!  I just got blood work done today and my hCG is at 5516 and progesterone at 18.5.  The nurse said that all looks good for being five weeks.  I'll take her word for it!  It's all starting to sink in.  Now I just have to wait for my first OB visit on the 10th.  I'll be so nervous until then!

    Wow @ewenner those numbers sound great to me. The 10th can't come soon enough. But at least when you have your first apt you will be far enough along to see a heartbeat.
