Trouble TTC

I already miss wine **BFP warning**

My blood test was Saturday morning, but I am in the camp of POAS before beta, so I had gotten 2 positive tests before the nurse even called.  My HCG was 93, and today's was 230.  Next test is on Thursday.  I exhale a little with each one.  

I had spent so many months thinking of how I would tell DH, and how he would look - But when it came down to it, the scenario was DH was still sleeping, and me screaming "I might be pregnant!!"  from the bathroom as soon as the second line even hinted of appearing - with both of us being afraid to get too excited.  

My stay here has been short (although I'll probably hang a few more days as I continue testing), but the support and knowledge have been so amazingly helpful.  Often my sentences to DH have started "the ladies on the board say...".

I hope and pray that 2015 brings you all good news.   


Re: I already miss wine **BFP warning**

  • Congratulations! Those are very good betas. FX for another great one and U/S. YAY, an early christmas present.

    **Formerly EastBayBride508**

    Me 34   Him 33

    Me - Left salpingo-oophorectomy at 19 due to large cyst/torsion  and 2 large uterine fibroids found at age 30
    Him - Borderline low sperm count (correcting through Fertility Blend supplement)

    Married 8/20/2011
    TTC #1 since Jan 2013
    First appointment with RE 10/2013.  
    April 2014 - Clomid 100mg CD3-7.  HCG shot CD10 IUI #1 done on 4/12/14 (CD12) ....BFN
    May 2014 - Break cycle to repeat saline sonogram and re-group.  Travel to Kauai 5/7-5/12 (Yay!!)

  • Yay!! Congrats!!
    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! 
  • Congratulations!
    Me: +35 DH: +35

    Ultrasound shows both kidneys in spite of UU. 
    HSG showed clear tube on the left side. 
    Lap Surgery performed 1/9/14 to remove fibroid and endo (Stage 3)
