After 16 cycles, I finally saw my first BFP yesterday morning. Took an HPT on a whim fully expecting it to be negative and had a faint second line on a Wondfo. Tried a First Response a little later and two dark beautiful lines popped up right away.
What we did: This was my first medicated cycle 50 mg Clomid, Ovidrel trigger, and a ton of humping. I also completely gave up caffeine last month.
How I told hubs: It unfortunately was nowhere near the magical moment I had hoped for. He had been out helping a friend move and the second I heard him come through the door he got a pee stick shoved in his face and his crazy wife yelling, "DO YOU SEE IT?!?!" He was apprehensive at first because the Wondfo was a light second line, but once he saw he FRER he got excited.
I say rollercoaster of emotions, because I also have had some bleeding today. I have my beta tomorrow with my RE tomorrow andam hoping for.the best but also bracing for the worst. I took another Wondfo tonight and it was even darker than the one yesterday so its hard not to have a glimmer of hope. At this moment though, I'm pregnant and love this baby.
The sap: I probably would still be assuming I ovulated on day 14 if it weren't for this board. You are truly an amazing bunch of women and I hope you all get your BFP soon.
ETA: I got a call back from my RE. She said my beta is 106 and progesterone looked great and was surprised to hear I had some bleeding. Now, to get through until my second beta on Wednesday. Still not wanting to get my hopes up, but this is ay least some good news!
