So, last we left off I had just gotten my Miracle Drug...
Clomid.
Now, I didn't really have very much faith that this was going to work on the first try...I had heard success stories, but with the way my luck has been through this whole process. It was a long shot, but it was definately worth a shot.
So here's how it went, I got AF 5 days after my appt with the OB, which was awesome-3rd month on my own of getting my cycle, I was so pumped. The medicine I had to take for 5 days on Cycle Days 5-9...It gave me terrible cramps, terrible back aches, and terrible headaches...I started taking Ovulation prediction kits. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it if it happened. I was taking 2 and 3 a day, and wasn't getting anything...I was starting to get discouraged.. I called the doctor because I was nervous...I told her I didn't want to go and get the bloodwork done that she wanted me to do if I hadn't detected Ovulation. She said, well just wait for your cycle to come and we will go ahead next month. She said if you haven't ovulated by now, you aren't going to and it is a failed cycle. I was completely bummed and sad.
Then one day, I took one and the line was so positive!! I was OVULATING!! AHHHHH!!!!! :) So...the next step was getting that little spermie in there...we all know what happens then! :) It was so surreal, I felt pains, I felt cramping, I had this one sharp pain in my left side...I just knew that something was happening.
After I ovulated, I continued to temp...my temps stayed nice and high, never going below the coverline...I thought I was golden!
The doctor had wanted me to go in for bloodwork to test my progesterone level to make sure that I ovulated. So I was so excited to go in, and tell her that I did since she basically told me I wasn't going to...
So I went in, got it, and she never called me with my results. I finally got ahold of the office, and she called me back after hours one day and said, "Well, your progesterone levels were not high enough to indicate ovulation. Wait for your period to come and we will begin the next cycle of clomid. In the meantime I will send you a lab slip so you can repeat bloodwork next month."
I was so depressed. I was so sad. If anyone saw my facebook status about being sad, that's what it was...I couldn't believe that I had great temperatures and great positive Ovulation tests, and still had a crappy blood draw. It didn't add up.
I called the doctor back to ask a couple questions, and got even more disappointed...she basically just said, don't stress and we'll proceed with next cycle. I didn't understand it. I FELT pregnant. I had been having dull lower back pain ever since Ovulation, I had tender breasts, I even had a wave of nausea. I had MOOD swings, my husband can attest to that. I felt PREGNANT, how could I not have even ovulated?
So I continued to take tests everyday despite the fact that my doctor told me I didn't ovulate, all were negative.
On the morning of March 24, 2012 our lives took a different turn...
I woke up at 5:45 to take my temperature, still high, and went to go pee...I took a test so that I could still be sure it was negative. It looked negative, so I went back to bed and left it on the bathroom sink. I got up again at 7:30 and took a look at the test that had been sitting out. I thought I was going crazy when I saw a faint faint faint second line. I ripped the shower curtain open and asked Kris if he saw the line too or if I was on the crazy train. He saw it too...so I took another one, and it was on the second one too...
I went out that day and bought First response Early response, and some EPT digital tests...Came home to take both of them and there was definately a second line, and the word PREGNANT flashed on the digital.
So much for not Ovulating huh??? Oh my FREAKING God, we are PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!
I wanted to tell everyone so badly, but as of today (3/25) we are only 3 weeks 4 days...I want to get a blood test done, and make sure my beta numbers are okay, and then we can share the news, probably at Easter (we will be about 8 weeks). I might have told my close girlfriends, but only because they were over that night!!
And Nana-remember I was talking to you about extra protein today...? And you said something about it being Baby Season right now...! I guess it is, because you're going to be a great-Nana! :) :)
So our Estimated Due Date is going to be December 5th...so we will have a newborn for Christmas to celebrate with!! :) :)
We are so excited, and can't wait to scream it from the mountains....but as for right now, I am more anxious to get my blood work done...
So here are my symptoms for week 3:
Tiredness
Headaches
Slight back ache
Constant peeing
Bad GAS!!
Decreased energy
