Convinced first round on Clomid 50 Mg and Metformin
I honestly didn’t expect it to work the first round!!
~some back story~
We fell pregnant last year on September 27. Got to the first appointment and a couple of weeks after our first ultrasound were we heard/saw our first babies heartbeat. We ended up having to say goodbye on November 21st we were only 10 weeks ( baby measuring 9 weeks) we named our baby November June Best.. 👼🏼(the month our baby was born, their due date month and our last name).
We tried again for our rainbow baby but due to my PCOS it was hard after almost a year we decided to get some help. I went to our doctor and he prescribed us 50 Mg Clomid and 500 Mg Metformin (started about 15-20 days before the Clomid) we did days 5-9 (fifth day of my cycle). I didn’t have any symptoms besides being in edge and anything my in-laws said made me so angry.. and annoyed (we were all camping in a tv that weekend).
Now because of my PCOS and high stress right now my period wasn’t quite regular for the past 3 month. So I was only spotting (brown discharged) I continued to take the medication tho. We also had my husband not waste his baby makers for about 3-5 days before I was to ovulate (per what our dr said) I used a ovulation test (I know some might say that because of my PCOS
‼️‼️ I also want to say I did use preseed (ordered from Amazon) each time we had sex‼️‼️
I could have gotten bad readings but they were extremely accurate besides when I tested too early the 8th of August (inpatient lol)  and got a false positive because of the medication, but the next day it was negative.. continued to test and on the 12-14 I got high and a peak day. Which this app was really accurate.. I honestly didn’t think the test on the 8th was wrong so we did the deed that day. And the 11 and on the 12th (the day I was supposed peaked) on the 14th I noticed my boobs getting tender and was thinking it was probably due to the medication forcing my body to ovulate. For about two weeks after I had tummy pressure and cramps and slight tugging on my upper belly like a period was coming. I was also started to break out more, and my back would get cramps, fatigue started up the week my period was about to start. Oddly enough my hair looked more bouncy. And the peeing more started. Now remember. August 27th 2021 was when we test positive for our 1st baby November… well I didn’t want to test early this time. I was now only on day 3 of a missed period… I was making dinner on August 29. 2022 and i had a dollar store test.. thinking I wasn’t going to get a positive.. so I peed and put a timer and continued on cooking… timer goes off and I look at it all dumbfounded because I didn’t think it was possible.
On Friday August 30th I had my HCG levels done and repeated on Monday September 3.
-First levels- 670
-Second level- 2116
Were scheduled for our first appointment November 2.
I’m posting this so it can help others and because I feel so grateful for our Rainbow 🌈 baby but also so terrified because it’s literally happening around the same time when we got pregnant with our first baby..
both due in June.
Please pray for a sticky baby! 🌈🫶🏼💕🙏🏼🥰
