Finally got our BFP!

Stephani

I'm 35, my husband is 40 and we just got our positive on Monday! We've been ttc our 1st child for 1 year and 8 months. He encouraged me to share our journey with hopes that it could help someone else. After a little over a year of ttc (toward the end of last year), we had him do a semen analysis and I had an OAR blood draw-both came back normal. We kept trying to no avail, then early last week we sucked it up and went to an infertility specialist at my obgyn (we kept putting it off because of the expense), they did labs and although my levels were in the normal range, they put me on a high dose of vitamin D3 and medication to lower my thyroid. I guess they should have done a pregnancy test then lol but regardless this is what worked for us: We had sex the day I ovulated and the 2 days after, I would lay quietly for 30 mins after sex, we used preseed and injected it like the instructions said instead of using it like normal lube, I took a daily prenatal vitamin as well as 1,000 mg of fish oil, 2,000 <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">iui</a> of vitamin D3, and 500 mgs of vitamin C. My husband took all the same vitamins except the prenatal. By some miracle it all worked! This is the 1st month we actually injected the preseed and it must have made a difference! I know so many other couples have struggled for a lot longer with infertility and I hope you all get your BFP too! Baby dust to all!
