My journey of ttc

Well let me say, when you think its gonna be easy to fall pregnant again as most people say it is once you have had a baby, you have got to be kidding..lol

For me, it just did not work out that way...

My ttc journey started in October 2005, once the doctor gave us the green light again. I thought I was ready to conceive again, but I guess God had other plans. Let me just add that I have difficulty in conceiving, as it took me about 2 and a half years to conceive Hannah. Well let me just say that month after month went by, tons of HPT's and months of BFN's!!!(Big Fat Negatives). I started going from regular periods to irregular periods and eventually in July of 2006, I skipped my period for 3 months. This was concerning for me and went back to my Ob to have myself checked out. From the appointment it was discovered that I had developed PCOS (Polycystic Ovavarian Syndrome). The short of it was, I could not ovulate and this made it difficult for me to conceive and it also affected my insulin levels. The Ob prescribed Glucophage and Clomid. After taking the Glucophage for 3 days, I got my period, praise Jesus!!!
I had the opportunity in the month of August with the Clomid (this assists in ovulation). Well I took it, had my progesterone test on the Cycle day of 21, but sadly I did not ovulate, as the progesterone levels were only 1.5 as opposed to the previous month of no treatment being 0.05. I decided I was not going to stress about it any longer and leave it in Gods hands, it will happen when the time is right. Well my period came and September rendered us another chance. I took all treatment as prescribed and waited patiently for CD21 to check if I had ovulated this time. CD21 came and I went for the routine blood tests. I am a little impatient by default and could not wait for my Ob to call so I decided to give the Lab a call myself to check my results and to my surprise the tech on the other side says it was 27.3!!!!

I could not believe it, I ovulated for the first time since October 2005, praise Jesus!!!!!! I actually called again just to make sure if I heard correctly!!! Well to my surprise I was on cloud nine for the whole weekend, and you can only imagine the wait now for me to be able to do a pregnancy test. My doctor called me the Monday morning to confirm that I definately did ovulate. I immediately updated my cyber friends on Hannahs Prayer and Baby Mania!!

This was the exact post:
Good news!!!!

On Wed evening I did an HPT just for fun, knowing it may be too early because I would have only missed my period today. Anyway I got a faint positive, so decided to do another one Thursday morning and another faint positive. So I decided I don’t want to wonder and hope this is true, I am going in for a blood test to confirm whether its – or +. So I got the results back Thursday aft and it was positive!!!! But an early positive, so have to go back on Monday to do another blood test to check if the levels are rising as what they should be. My OB also confirmed it’s an early pregnancy +- 3to4 weeks, so it’s very exciting. I think I am still in shock; I have to pinch myself every time to believe it is actually true!!!!! Please pray that I will see big numbers on Monday. In your experience have any of you had an early positive? You can’t get a false positive in a blood test can you? I already feel bouts of nausea during the day and my boobs seem to have enlarged overnight….lol. But I tell you I can’t begin to tell you the joy in my heart right now, after being through so many years of ttc and then a loss, your innocence of pg just gets taken away. But I told myself this am, I am claiming my baby and I won’t allow doubt and fear to rob me of my joy, as I have waited so long for this. God is good!!!! God’s timing is always perfect. I give Him all praise and glory!!!
Lots of love Megan

Well as the saying goes the rest is history, but my history definately got me to this good place I am in right now, so until next time I will share with you the reflections of this wonderful news, and the progress of the pregnancy thus far.
