TTC 2 years. PCOS. Factor V Leiden.

Last cycle:12-22 to 12-25 (irregular light and comes as she pleases....)

1/19 FRER faint line- HOLY SH*T and my husband is out of town!!! This was 7 days before my glow expected period...... which we all know when we are abnormal is a load of 💩

Proceeded to POAS every single day after that, monitoring my faint little line since I’ve had no symptoms.

1/21- still faint lines on FRER only. I told my husband today with a mug that says “you’re going to be a daddy!” He was smitten. **mind you he continued to read his pregnancy book throughout this week despite everything 😭 I love this man.

1/23- THE DAY FROM HELL. I started spotting, okay no big deal light brown... whatever, oh no this turned into a full force bleed with clots switching pads every hour and then some.... I called my doctor immediately and the nurse brought me in for a blood draw (3 days before missed period) I was less than hopeful at this point; it’s my life this is how it works right 2 years TTC and this is what i get.

1/24- No more bleeding, well that’s odd; spotting enough to need a panty liner but huh that’s weird.

1/25- well my tests and still coming back darker..... I thought chemical pregnancy’s leave your body rather quick?

**Nurse calls- “your HCG is a 5; so most likely you just had a chemical pregnancy and your levels are going down, in the event they rise we would need you to come in for another blood test because you may be very early... I’ve never seen a 5 before but I have seen an 8 progress into a successful pregnancy! (Awesome... thanks for the positivity I think?)

she asked me to return in for a second blood test but since it’s Friday I will have to wait until Monday for results.... great.

1/26 &1/27- no spotting, no anything, except back pain..... and Dr. Google is telling me I’m dying or it’s an ectopic pregnancy. Don’t freak out.... don’t freak out.... but... WHY ARE MY PREGNANCY TESTS GETTING DARKER, I DONT EVEN NEED A FRER ANYMORE?!

1/28- Monday THANK YOU SWEET BABY JESUS. I call my doctor- the nurse puts me on hold several times, well this can’t be good.... she gets back on the phone, “Ashley your HCG levels have doubled, you are now at 11”... THEY DOUBLED. Yes my sweet little 11 is low, but THERE IS HOPE! I am early, and my bleed could mean many different things. She urged for another blood test this Thursday 1/31 (so sweet of her to not make me wait a weekend again!🙄) we still have to rule out ectopic but given that my tests are darker and that my levels are doubling there Is hope.

I had many people in here and even my own nurse write this off as a chemical pregnancy and this just goes to show everyone is different❤️

(final photo today-3 days past AF according to glow; Again, i am irregular)

STILL PRAYING THAT THIS ENDS UP BEING A VIABLE PREGNANCY FOR ME 🙏🏻✨
