How I got pregnant after TTC for 9 months
I just wanted to share how I ended up getting pregnant because I know I wanted all the advice I could get when TTC! I tried around 8 months just naturally and trying to track ovulation. I had very irregular cycles that varied from 31-49 days. Then the Doctor figured out that I wasn't ovulating and I was getting false reads from the digital ovulation tests. I also got my progesterone levels checked on day 17 of my cycle. My levels were low at 9 (should be in 20s). 
My doctor decided to put me on Clomid and progesterone. The following is exactly what I did to end up with a positive pregnancy test at the end of the month!
-I took Clomid on cycle day 3-7.
-Starting cycle day 9 I began having sex every other day using PRE SEED.
-Starting cycle day 10 I took 3 tsp of regular Robotussin 3x a day to increase cervical mucus. I continued this through the day of my strongest ovulation reading.
-Cycle day 10 I also went to get an ultra sound to look at follicles. At this time it showed I had follicles that were large are ready to ovulate (aka Clomid did its job)
-starting cycle day 10 I began tracking ovulation with the cheap ovulation pee sticks you can buy in bulk. Buy the cheap ones, not digital.
-Once you start getting decent double lines, test multiple times per day. It can change quickly.
-my first very dark lines showed up in the afternoon day 15 and got darker day 16 morning. Have sex two days in a row on your darkest ovulation days. You don't want to miss this window!
-After ovulation lines disappear, stop taking Robotussin.
-I started taking progesterone orally 1x a day on cycle day 17. By cycle day 21 my levels came back at 27 after just taking the pill 4 days!
-I continued taking progesterone for remainder of cycle.
-Day 31 I got a positive pregnancy test 👶🏼
let me know if anyone struggling to conceive has any questions!
The pics below show the "quadruple threat" haha and the progression of my ovulation tests, followed by the yellowish one (gross I know, it sat out for a long time) being the darkest on day 16. And then my positive preg test!
