Your journey to baby...

str13 · May 2015

I'm sure many posted something about your road to baby when you got your BFP!! (Yay!) I just love all these stories and wanted to hear all about what it took to get your sticky bean to stick!

We talked about wanting to get pregnant in 2015 mid December 2014. We decided if we stopped birth control then, we would hopefully be pregnant in 3-6 months. We thought we would be fortunate if it happened that fast. I had been told that after being on birth control for 12 years it would probably take some time for my system to return to normal. I was beyond shocked when I was holding a positive pregnancy test on January 7th! I had to keep being pregnant to myself for five days since my SO was out of town for work when I tested and I felt like he should definitely be the first to know. Longest five days of my life and actually the reason why I joined The Bump initially lol. I HAD to tell someone I was pregnant! This baby was definitely planned as we stopped prevention, but we were both very surprised that it happened so fast! Best Christmas present I've ever got :x

Fresh out of detox, my husband and I decided on baby #3 and conceived that very day. Two best decisions I've ever made! One day at a time.

TeacherMom210 · May 2015

DH and I wanted to have a second, but we weren't sure about the timing. We were going to try for a spring baby because I thought it would be easier missing the end of the school year than missing the beginning again (DD#1 is an August baby). It took us 8 months to get pregnant with DD#1, so we figured that we could stop birth control so that we'd be ready to go when the window was right, but sort of figured, hey, whatever happens, happens. That was in December. Literally had sex twice. (Busy month. Holidays, school, DH was working on his MA...) Surprise in January! lol

monicaP · May 2015

Baby 3 and finally went as planned-ish. DD1 took 18 months and two IUI. DD2 was a surprise 4 periods after DD1 because I was sure we couldn't do it on our own so why pay for birth control. Three years later and we were ready to grow the family. We decided to go off birth control but not stress about "trying." We planned to give it a year and just put it in God's hands. Three months later and I was holding a positive pregnancy test. Hooray!

lolad5 · May 2015

Once we gave up it happened. The very first time. We thought something was wrong because we went a whole year without any birth control. Little did I know once we stopped thinking about it it would happen for us. I feel so lucky and am so grateful!

WDDCH · May 2015

Baby was a surprise but not unwelcome. I have a miscarriage history due to not producing enough progesterone. I paid $200 for a couple bottles of Progesterone supplements (I don't have RX insurance) so I could keep my progesterone up and not miscarry. I only take it the first trimester.

Baby girl is alive and well! Can't wait to meet her.

MiromiM · May 2015

DH and I have been trying for a child for almost three years. Part of the reason it took so long is because they blamed me for infertility but couldn't find the cause so I had to undergo a multitude of treatments. Eventually they tested my hubby and realized where the issue really was. After several failed clomid cycles and IUIs, we decided to do IVF this summer. Fortunately we had the money saved up from our wedding gifts and our dream vacation (we never took). The entire process takes a lot of gearing up. My first IVF round was in early November. It was quite successful (we still have 10 high grade embryos in storage) but my body wasn't ready to transition to pregnancy just yet. My first FET was in early January and it stuck! :x

I've been with my husband since I was a 17 year old junior in high school. (He's 4 years older so he's my high school sweatheart but I'm not his lol) This coming June we will be celebrating our 7th anniversary and 1st wedding anniversary. We've been wanting a child for years and he's been begging for one for quite some time lol but I told him he wasn't allowed to get me pregnant until I had his last name. So our wedding day came and I wanted so badly for that to be the night it happened, I was ovulating but no luck. A few weeks after our wedding, our best man and best friend tragically and unexpected passed away. Then a few more weeks after that my favorite person on the entire planet (my grandfather) passed away due to cancer. Through all the stress and depression my body just couldn't get pregnant. I was beginning to give up and had been tracking my cycle for about six months and it just wasn't happening. Then came December 5th and my mother took me to see a medium (if you're a skeptic ignore this) to see if my grandfather or best friend would come through. To my surprise my grandfather came through immediately and there was no way this woman could have known any of the things she was telling me, it was unbelievable. She told me my grandfather presented himself to her holding a baby. Immediately I burst into tears because at this point I had given up on trying. I conceived my son 5 days later on December 11th. He told her that the baby was also a girl, but when I went back later on to see the medium again I begged for my best friend to come through. My husband and I had just been saying that it would be the best gift in the world for our child to have our best friends soul. While speaking to the medium our friend brought up that he would love to be our child to be able to come back into the world, but that he refused to be a baby girl. When we went for our anatomy scan and the tech told us it was a boy, we looked at each other with tears and both said "It's Chris." It was such an amazing feeling and we truley believe it's him coming back to us. We're even naming him after him, Noah Christopher❤️

bpv101283 · May 2015

Some really lovely stories here.

Mine is boring. We thought ok we'll stop taking BC and hopefully have a baby around when DS turns 4. Three weeks later I was holding a positve test. So a bit earlier than expected but I count myself lucky for conceiving so fast.

irenejean · May 2015

My husband was my fiancé at the time. I'm 33 and he's 45. We were talking about kids and timing. I really wanted 2, he said no babies after he turns 50, and since we had read it could take a year to get pregnant, we decided to start trying before the wedding. I went off the pill and we started trying last August, our wedding was in October. I was temping and charting for 3 cycles with no luck. For the fourth cycle I got the clear blue easy ovulation predictor kit, and got my positive test on January 3rd! That kit was the best $35 I've ever spent

J0C0TX · May 2015

As some of you already know...
This is our third

And the app is crap... Deleted the entire story

Mufflerlove · May 2015

I think from the day we decided to start trying to our BFP was 10-14 days. We were very fortunate with this pregnancy.

Jenten810 · May 2015

I love reading these stories!

Our story is not very exciting... We were going to start trying in January/February because we wanted to time my maternity leave for the end of the year. We've done NFP since we got married almost 5 years ago and it's been great for me to not be on the pill. However, after having DS1 it was harder to track my cycle so I thought we had passed the "peak" days in December. I was wrong, Christmas night we did the deed and the next day I hit my peak. BFP came the January 10th. We surprised ourselves, but couldn't be more thankful!

hollyk224 · May 2015

DH is 32 and I'm 28. We have been married for almost 3 years. I was ready to start TTC much sooner than he was. We talked about it for several months and when I went to my doctor for my annual exam in March 2014, he wanted us to try for 3-6 months on our own and then call him if nothing had happened within that time frame (I was diagnosed with endo and had a lap and D&C in August 2006). We started trying in April 2014. In October 2014 I had some bloodwork done, DH had a semen analysis done, and I had an HSG. My blood work was fine and my HSG was clear, but the semen analysis results were not what we had hoped for. We were told that we were good candidates for IUI or IVF. We decided to keep trying on our own until after the holidays and then talk to a fertility specialist after that. On December 29, 2014 I took a pregnancy test. I was only 2 days late and had absolutely no symptoms, but I just felt like I needed to take a test. I was in complete shock when I saw 2 pink lines. We are so thankful for our little girl and can't wait to meet her in early September!

CEW225 · May 2015

I stopped my BC back in June. I ran out of the free samples my doctor gave me and we had talked about starting to try, so it was good timing. We hoped to conceive around Sept or Oct so that the baby would be born during the summer and I wouldn't have to worry about creating lesson plans and such for school. I thought I was pregnant in October, but Aunt Flo decided to make a late appearance and I was really upset.

We decided to take the "when it happens, it happens" approach after that. We went away for a night over our Christmas break to go see Christmas lights, shop, etc. It was like a little mini vacation. I am about 95% sure that's when it finally happened! I had a horrible UTI about 2 weeks after that, fever, pain, everything and wondered why I wasn't starting. Husband had to go to urgent care due to the flu and I decided to ask the Dr about it. She immediately asked me if I could be pregnant. I took a test the next morning...and afternoon..and three days after that (hahaha) and they were all positive!

PhoenixJewels · May 2015

My husband and I got married on June 13, 2014. I got pregnant on our six month anniversary 12-13-14. We didn't think I could have another child (I have a 10 yr old daughter from a past relationship) due to many medical issues.

Got my bfp New Year's Eve when I woke up at 6 am craving milk... I am not a milk drinker lol

AndieTessie · May 2015

DH and I got married pretty young (21 and 22) so we always knew we wanted to wait. DH joined the military a few years later to get himself a career and not just a job and after some time apart for training we bought our first house in the state he got stationed to. We were stable enough to go to one income so we started trying in December and on our 7 year dating anniversary in January I took a positive pregnancy test!!! I have to say I got pregnant a lot sooner than I thought but we couldn't be happier! We'll be 25 and 27 when LO arrives.

MrsT05 · May 2015

We were done having kids afterDD (8) & DS(5) and got rid of everything after he had outgrown it. I had gotten an IUD about 3 yrs ago. Well back in probably June I started to get the "itch". Did everything to try to get over it & didn't even mention it to DH. Well after a few months I was still having major baby fever. I finally started hinting around to DH in October, who surprisingly wasn't freaked out! He too was wanting another but we both didn't say anything bc we thought the other didn't since for the past 5 yrs we've said we were finished having kids. I had my IUD removed on Nov 10 & pretty sure we conceived DD on Dec 10! We got the BFP the day after Christmas & are just so happy!!

KissMeImScottish · May 2015

We went for a 2 month road trip in October of 2013. I know that sounds like a weird way to start this story, but there you have it. Right before we were supposed to leave, I had a weird cycle. I was on birth control but missed my period entirely, which had never happened to me. So, I went for a blood test and it came back negative and, while I was relieved because the timing would have been terrible, what with the trip and with my husband due to go back to sea duty as soon as we got back, I found myself actually feeling incredibly sad and disappointed that I WASN'T pregnant. It made me realize that I wanted a baby - the proverbial maternal switch had flipped, if you will. I sat on that feeling for the whole road trip and when we got back, my husband and I sat down and I told him how I had been feeling. Turns out, we were both on the same page. So, I stopped taking my birth control and got my last breakthrough bleed on January 1st, 2014.

9 months went by and in that time, we moved from Connecticut to Hawaii, my husband went back to sea duty, complete with crazy boat schedule, and my periods got progressively longer and longer. What started as normal cycles progressed from 45 days to 57 days to finally a 92 day cycle before the doctors finally took me seriously and said, huh, maybe something is going on here. I was finally referred to a fertility specialist in October of 2014 who was wonderful. I was heading out on a trip to Bali and Australia for three weeks, so he asked me how aggressive I wanted to be with treatment, since military doctors are cognizant of the uphill battle women with infertility face when they are also competing with a submarine's sea schedule. I told him I wanted to be pregnant as fast as possible. So, he started by inducing my period over the course of my trip. When I came home, I had labs run that finally diagnosed asymptomatic PCOS.

He started me on Metformin and 50 mg of Clomid in conjunction with my husband's sea schedule. They ran my labs again that cycle and determined that I had ovulated, but not well enough. He upped my Clomid to 100 mg for the next cycle and ordered semen analysis for my husband.

I had been temping through all of this and was sure I was out that cycle. While it looked like I had ovulated, my temp was awfully low for it to be a successful cycle. I told my husband I was out for that one and he looked as crushed as I felt. Peeling on a stick felt like rubbing salt in the wound at this point, but I woke up at 5 in the morning the day I was theoretically due for my period and took a test. My husband was on duty that day, so I was alone in the house, and the world's LIGHTEST positive came up. It looked like an evap line, but it came up within three minutes. After so many negatives, I didn't believe it could finally be a positive. I literally dropped to my knees, hyperventilating, heart racing, not sure if I could really believe it.

The clinic didn't open until 9:00 and I had to take the car on for scheduled work, so it was the longest morning of my life, waiting to go get the blood test. When ibfinally did, I showed the phlebotomist the test to get her opnion and she said she couldn't see a line, but good luck, that's how light it was. I then had to wait another 3 hours for them to call me back and tell me the result. It was excruciating.

I finally ran out of patience and called myself. The nurse found my result and asked me what I was hoping for it to be. Obviously, I said positive, and when she confirmed it, I literally dropped to my knees sobbing. She started laughing, saying she'd never had such an excited reaction to a positive result. This baby was conceived on New Years Eve or New Years Day, and is the answer to every prayer and wish we made for exactly a year, literally to the day from when we started trying.

Of all the days for my husband to bring one of his sailors home, he chose this day, but I just couldn't keep it to myself, so I gave him a welcome home hug and asked whispered in his ear that we'd have a chance to use the names we talked about after all. His reaction was like one of those movie takes. He started to shout and then had to stop himself midshout because his sailor was sti in the house. I got the biggest hug of my life after that.

Sorry this is so long...this story is near and dear to my heart, since getting pregnant was so painfully clinical and nothing at all how I dreamed it would be. Funny side note: my mom knew we were trying and about a week after we found out, I wasn't ready to tell them yet that we were pregnant, but she asked if my husband's tests had come back ok. We actually never got his results because I got my positive 3 days before my appointment. Obviously, everything was good on his end, since I was pregnant, so I was just like "...yup, everything's good for him..." Makes for a funny story now, haha.

Willow1400 · May 2015

We were "not trying but not NOT trying" for about 6-9 months, then were really trying for about a year and a half. I was on Clomid for many cycles, and then decided in October/November of 2014 that we wanted to take the vacation we'd kept putting off "in case", and that if we weren't pregnant at Christmas, our present would be a trip to Florida.

After I got my "period" we booked the trip and I decided to not take my Clomid that month before we went, so I could enjoy the trip (Hot Tubs! Roller Coasters! Drinking Around the World at Epcot!) . We went in February and had a great time.

I typically had long, LONG cycles if I stopped taking Clomid, so I didn't think too much when my period was late after that. It got to the point where it was long even for me, so I took 4 tests over a week- all negative. I called the OB-GYN and she called in a script that would start my period since I'd had so many negative tests. When I picked it up, at the last minute I decided to buy another brand of fancier, more expensive test that I typically poo-pooed. Surprise!

Then they called me in for an ultrasound after my blood test and we found out that we weren't at 8 weeks like we thought, but at 13. Surprise again!

mrscate88 · May 2015

@excited2bmommy09 Our story is exactly the same haha! Stopped birth control in November, got pregnant in December and was absolutely shocked to get my positive test on January 7th!! We were prepared for waiting up to a year to get pregnant, since we weren't going to be tracking my ovulation or anything. Best surprise ever!

cutemomblog · May 2015

My DH and I have been together since 2005, married in 2011 and started "trying"in late 2012. We were more than ready to add to our little family but devastated month after month for almost 2 whole years of BFNs. I felt like we had done everything right as it should be but God/universe just didn't care.

It became so HARD to hear other ppl getting PG especially teenagers in my family (in no way) ready or capable of raising children, along with my drug addicted sister and DH's brother's wives both PG in rocky marriages "hoping it would save their relationships." I just couldn't understand! While I always put a smile on my face and wouldn't let them see my pain I was slowly dying inside. We decided after the holidays of 2014 were over and things settled down we would seek further medical help even though we both had perfect bill of healths otherwise.

Then BAM, 3 days late in January I finally got my bfp! I was in shock hubs was traveling for work and I somehow kept my mouth shut until he got home because I just had to tell him in person! ! ! I did tell one of my bfs (who was pg too and hadbeen praying So hardfor us)cause I just had to tell someone!

I will NEVER forget the look on my hubs face when I told him and I even got on video!

Now Here we are halfway there! It's still a little surreal bc I had convinced myself it just wasn't going to happen for us. My heart is overflowing with the love I already have for this baby and I am overjoyed to have something that will reflect the love my DH and I share. I CAN'T wait to hold this little bundle in my arms...OH and finally find out what the sex is May 11th!

str13 · May 2015

I love all these stories!! Just love them!!

@ktewart I was engrossed in yours! I was so nervous while I read it and realized when I was done that I knew the end already!!! Lol I'm so dumb!!

shelbydd · May 2015

My husband and I started dating in July 2008 and married in January 2009. We moved quick! We were pretty young at the time, 19 and 21 (husband turned 28 in March, I'll be 26 next week), and still trying to just.. be adults? Despite moving so fast we knew having a baby wasn't in the cards right away. It took years to get to where we want to be but we are certainly lucky that it did come much quicker than either of us ever expected. He is in a wonderful place career-wise that gave me the ability to quit my job last year and be a stay-at-home wife. We were also able to purchase our first home which is amazing. At that point we were where we wanted to be for babies so we started discussing it. Initially we didn't intend on officially "trying" until this summer but long story short I had a horrible reaction to a birth control pill that I started taking. I was having horrible migraines so I went off of it and we threw caution to the wind. According to the doctors estimate of my ovulation I ovulated 2 days after I stopped taking the pill. I never expected to get pregnant so fast but I'm immensely grateful that it happened. That was in December. We celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary on January 9th and on January 11th I got my bfp! I figured I was for about a week but kept putting off taking the test because I hadn't missed my period yet. When I finally took it (at husbands urging) and got the 2 lines they were so clear and bold I almost couldn't beleive it.... so I took 2 more. Lol. Went downstairs, kissed my husband on the forehead and said "looks like we're having a baby." I think the way we handled it is a perfect example of us and our relationship. He said "oh?! Okay!" Then we sat down and played video games for 3 hours together. Haha. Wednesday is 6 months pregnant officially! I've started feeling our boy move every day and so frequently it's only just started to feel real in the last couple of weeks.

Yiggle09 · May 2015

For my husband and I it took 15 months. We started prior to our wedding in september 2013. I was not on birthcontrol for over 3 years prior to that but he used the good ole pull out method. I went full into it with ovulation kits to start then a couple months into it temping which sucked and I feel was useless but that is a personal opinion. When it was about 5 months in I stopped buying the expensive stuff and bought the wondfro ones off of amazon. My periods were on the nose 27 days every month. Little did I know DH was masturbating in the shower every night after work... I know its sounds weird to me but he says it relaxed him and keeps him from bothering me too much for sex. When I found this out it was month twelve. I went and had blood tests hubby had semen test and found I was close to having hypothyroidism. I went into full research mode, upped my veggies and fruit intake with a nutribullet, started taking supplements to reduce inflamation and then in decemeber I had the hysterosalpingogram where they shoot dye into your uterus to check that your tubes are open. This was pretty uncomfortable but must have cleared me out! DH stopped shooting our future kids down the drain and we had sex 3 days after the hystero and every other day after. I know this sounds crazy but I was supposed to ovulate on a monday. That thursday after I felt a pinch down in my uterus area. I had never experienced that before. That saturday my boobs started to kill me. Now usually my boobs hurt exactly 5 days prior to my period and this was 12 days before my period at this point. I was convinced I was pregnant. I told my husband on that monday and then tested that following thursday and got my first bfp! We told everyone at christmas which was a week later and my mother said she knew it cause my hair looked great. I laughed cause really how could that have happened in a weeks time!

ForeverEverAfter · May 2015

@TeacherMom210 that's our story exactly! We had been discussing #2, and I had been thinking it would be a good time to try in the winter/spring. We had sex twice in December. It took 8 months of trying to get #1 (and she was conceived on a mini vacation the month we weren't trying because we didn't want a Christmas baby). I was so shocked to get my BFP!!

PerkinsFam3 · May 2015

Someone enlighten me as to what BFP stands for, please?

theglitteredpterodactyl · May 2015

My partner and I have been together for almost six years now and getting pregnant was a topic that was tabled for most if it. I was diagnosed with bipolar and anxiety about three years ago and so a lot of the time since then had been more focused on getting me to a balanced place. Around last September we agreed things seem to be as stable as we want them and talked about starting for a baby when I turned 27 (April 1). Then our close friends sent us save the dates for their wedding which is early December... He's the best man and I'm a bridesmaid, and it felt like a slap in their faces to intentionally try to get pregnant in April, since it would mean we wouldn't be able to support them on their day. I asked how he would feel if we started trying early, just casually, for December through February then taking a break into June. He said he wanted he think about it, which meant we immediately barebacked in the sack lol but I knew I wasn't ovulating so no big deal. Finally we had an actual talk and he asked how long until he had to give a final answer for December. I told him the weekend (end of November) (I ovulated on Wednesday). Sunday morning I warned him I would explode if he made me wait till midnight for my answer but no rush lol and he told me he was "ready to invest in our future and the next generation of us".

We were still a bit lax about trying and I was so sure December wasn't or month, which was fine, but I went out and started charting my temp to be ready for January. Bfn on Christmas eve and I thought for sure no way, oh well. I was almost relieved, things seemed to be happening so quickly! Then on the day before nye, two days before I'd be late, I took another test on a whim and voila! Baby!

beansideirae · May 2015

I'm sure I've shared this before... I'm 31, DH is 28, we've been married 4 years and I was ready for a baby loooong before that lol. he FINALLY got on board with the idea and I went off depo. I had it all planned out and felt like everything was going to go like clockwork, we wanted a May baby, so planned to "officially start" in August (this was 2013), and allowed an extra six months to let the depo wear off. well six months went by, August came, August went, and finally in May I went to the doctor to see what was up. they found a "pearl ring" around my ovaries and told me I likely wouldn't get pregnant unless I either took Clomid or lost some weight. naturally I wanted to try the weight loss first, but couldn't seem to budge the scale. then I went to Ireland for the month of July, where I was walking all the time. that did the trick and I got pregnant probably the day I got home, lol. I was so happy that we were still getting a May baby, and I was sure it was meant to be. but, of course I lost my May baby in October. I was devastated of course, but hubby had already lost two children and he said ok, God must not want me to be a dad. I was hurt, but I knew this was so hard for him, so we agreed to stop trying. but, we never got around to preventing...! on the morning of Christmas Eve, we were getting packed to drive to my folks' for a few days, I was about to get in the shower, and I thought, wouldn't it be a great Christmas present if I were pregnant? I had a test on hand so I took it, and low and behold! best Christmas present ever!!

My husband and I got married last September but have been together a total of 5 years and we actually talked about having kids prior to talking about marriage so we already knew we wanted kids. I found out on New Years Day that I was pregnant and would be having a baby the same month we would be celebrating our 1 year anniversary. This is my husbands first child and my second child (I have a 7 yo daughter from a previous marriage) and we are all excited!

jyoga87 · May 2015

DH and I tried for over 18 months with high end fertility computers and peeing on countless ovulation test sticks. Were hoping to get pregnant while I was doing dissertation research from home for a year.. But no go. Decided to give it a break in December because of my PhD program schedule, the timing would be awful if I got pregnant that month. We go to Thailand for a three week vacation, leaving after the computer said I ovulated that month, and a few weeks later, BFP! Baby was conceived in Thailand. Cannot believe it. So thankful and excited but feeling overwhelmed because this was the exact worst timing for me as I can't stay home with DD this year. I'm hoping it will all work out for the best but only time will tell.

klpie · May 2015

Husband and I were going to start trying in November after Election Day (he's was working a campaign) but one night in June he was like- no matter what happens with the election, we're gonna have a baby, so why wait- which I was thrilled! Got pregnant right away, and then I miscarried in Aug. On top of that, I was stressed with work and wanted to quit. It was a rough fall for me, and when I wasn't pregnant again by Thansgiving, I told my husband that I wanted to stop 'trying' for a few months. I found a new job in December, we bought a house, and then I found out New Years Eve I was pregnant. A lot of stress in my life went away in December, and I think that helped a lot. We are thrilled to be pregnant, and ironically our original plan of starting a family after Election Day ended up happening.

ladylianne · May 2015

My husband and I tried for a baby for two years. After one year of trying we had a heartbreaking miscarriage at 8 weeks and then after another 6 months of absolutely nothing we decided to try fertility treatment. The fertility drugs they gave us sadly didn't work so we had full IVF in November. I managed to produce 33 eggs so they froze all 18 that got to day 5 blastocyst phase to give my body time to recover. I had a lovely relaxing Christmas with the embryos on ice and then had one egg put back in on 7th January. We found out 11 days later on the morning of my nephews christening that I was pregnant and I have been smiling ever since! I still can't believe it sometimes.....

Yiggle09 · May 2015

@klpie I am sorry for your loss

J0C0TX · May 2015

OK. 2nd time lucky???

This is our 3rd I was always 2 hands, 2 children. DH was not.

When I had dd2, I had the option of a tubal (repeat C-section) and said no - I didn't want to make it a definite thing, but up until dd2 was 18 months I was still on the fence. Then I hopped off the fence.

We started trying for #3 in January 2014. We succeeded in September, only to be told at our first appointment that the baby, which should have measured 8w, only measured 5w, 6d 2 weeks later I had a d&c, followed by a visit to my doctor before thanksgiving. She gave us the ok to try next cycle, so we're having an irish baby. We were there over Christmas/New Year

When I had dd2, I had the option of a tubal (repeat C-section) and said no - I didn't want to make it a definite thing, but up until dd2 was 18 months I was still on the fence. Then I hopped off the fence.
We started trying for #3 in January 2014. We succeeded in September, only to be told at our first appointment that the baby, which should have measured 8w, only measured 5w, 6d 2 weeks later I had a d&c, followed by a visit to my doctor before thanksgiving. She gave us the ok to try next cycle, so we're having an irish baby. We were there over Christmas/New Year

Glad it posted this time! I was bummed when I didn't get to hear your story!

It's not as wild as others but in spite of what his sisters will say 10 years from now - He was wanted, he was not an accident and shut up teen girls!!!

Hubby and I got married in 2009. We started dating when I was 16 and he was 17. We are each other's first bf/gf and also each other's first kiss. We wanted 2 years together before we started having kids since we were long distance while he was at the University of Louisville getting his engineering degree. Those 2 years together turned into 5 and I wouldn't change a thing except the stress of thinking that we may never have kids. Infertility doctors cleared me Oct. 2013 and referred hubby to a urologist. I didn't force him to go(I wanted it to be his decision) We took a year off from all doctors. Had started talking about going back to see what was up around Christmas and then in January we found out about our Christmas miracle. Now that we are 27&28 and more secure financially we feel God was telling us we just weren't ready yet as frustrating as that was.
