Trying to Get Pregnant

UPDATE: 2nd beta. Bravo Foxtrot Papa

UPDATE: first beta at 11 DPIUI was 76. Second beta at 14 DPIUI is 276. It's more than tripled! Thanks for everything girls!

I've been waiting for almost two years to write this post, and now I don't know what to say.

Today is 11 DPIUI and this is the first day that I actually believe that I am pregnant. I started getting positive tests at 7 DPIUI but I used every excuse in the book to talk myself out of believing them. Plus, the tests were all after the time limit. After getting home from a 12 hour night shift on 7 DPIUI, I peed on a stick to test out the trigger and went to bed. Eight hours later, I looked at the test and said, "Well, that's not right." The line was darker than the almost invisible trigger at from day 6. Since then, I've tested every day and the lines started showing before the time limit on 10DPIUI.

HOW I TOLD DH:

Well, I kinda didn't. He asked me. So I had to fess up. On 9 DPIUI, he looked at my line of trigger sticks on the toilet and asked what they meant. I explained about how a trigger fades and how if it gets darker it's a BFP. He said, "Why is this one darker?" I said, "Because it could be..." and I proceeded to explain every situation about why it was not a real BFP. Since then, every morning, he has asked if I took another test. This morning at 4 a.m., he got up after I did to find out what this morning's test said.

Him: Are you going to the Dr today?

Me: Yes.

Him: What did today's test say?

Me: It says I am pregnant.

We hugged and he said, "Thank God" and then in classic DH fashion, he said, "Have you told the father yet?"

We're classy like that.

SYMPTOMS: The Bewbs. Oh lord the bewbs. They hurt. I can blame all of the symptoms on the progesterone, but I am having some mild cramps which don't feel like AF cramps. They kinda feel like a burning type sensation.

WHAT WE DID: This was our last cycle before declaring financial IF and stopping treatments to save for the future. We did Femara 2.5 mg, Gonal F 75 IU, Menopur, trigger and IUI. Post wash was 49 million. Progesterone gel Crinone 8% started 2 DPIUI. We hit 3-0, 2-0, IUI/O.

I didn't do anything different this cycle except eat a lot of tomatoes. But that's only because my three plants produced enough tomatoes to feed at least a family of 10.

EDD is April 28, 2014.

Beta was 76 and progesterone was 27.3. I go back Monday for another beta and then my first scan will be sometime in the next couple weeks. I will be on progesterone through the first trimester.

WARM AND FUZZIES: I can't explain how much I love you guys. Say1009, RunCici, Sunlavender, Gonz, Charmed, Banker, Panther, and so many others. I want to roll you all up into a little ball and carry you in my pocket. I know I missed several of you and I am sorry. I am so excited and nervous that I can't even think straight or type.

There will be a more detailed post on my blog. Feel free to click link in siggy or go to https://myhappyfacesadface.blogspot.com   For those of you who know me IRL, please don't say anything on Facebook.
