My husband and I had been trying for over a year
My husband and I had been trying for over a year. After almost a year of testing for ovulation, taking my temperature, documenting every aspect of my life: diet, activity, health, sex....I was starting to lose it. I was depressed and disappointed every month. What had started as something fun and exciting quickly became daunting and like a prison. 
We decided to stop. I still tracked my menstrual cycle, but mostly to be able to plan for future events.
We got back the 2 week before Christmas from a vacation (honeymoon) we had put off for 3 years. About a week later I had the most intense nausea, and though I had brought back a stowaway from Dominican Republic, a parasite or a bug/virus of some sort. Another week later I took a test and it was positive. I was pregnant. Then on Christmas eve I started bleed, and quite a bit. It appeared that I was having a miscarriage. I bled and spotted for 2 weeks and my Dr asked me to come in.
They gave me a pregnancy test and it was positive, they want to make sure the hormones were not just residual so I went back in a few days later, and my levels increased!
We are so thrilled, and we were both cleared of carrying Zika which is prevalent in the D.R. We still have a few more tests to do, and we are only about 5 weeks. I know there is still so much that can happen because it is still so early, but I this, to me, feels nothing short than a miracle.
Stay strong, take care of you and keep going!
This was the first test we took. I have taken a few other since then, but just didn't think to take a picture.
