Ladies out there that are still struggling- I want to reach out to you, tell you my story and give you hope!

My periods were always like a clockwork and all of our tests came back normal. My husband and I were on a mission for 18 months, we timed things perfectly based on opk, took advantage of every window to it's fullest and nothing.. I scheduled my appointment with the specialist with a heavy heart knowing that I'm giving up my dream of conceiving naturally as a direct result of our love- turned out I'll never make it to that first appointment! Because we were unexplained, it wasn't textbook to offer me clomid and decided to ask for it as I was willing to try anything in that last cycle before we face fertility treatments. This was my first round of clomid, turned out to be all I needed to get pregnant. This was the first time my period was "late" but I had so little hope that I'm pregnant that I tried to convince myself that it just means nothing. I had all my normal PMS symptoms, the exact same cramps that I get a week before I get AF and they even changed like they do before AF in the exact same way, my boobs were sore in the exact same way as usual. I'm so in tune with my body since we were TTC that I was sure I'll know the moment I conceive but that really wasn't the case! 

I shoved a tampon in a few times just to check for blood and was so surprised to discover it came out white. 

I got my BFP on the night of the super moon (!) between 15-16 DPO - two days after my missed period.

I couldn't be happier but I feel your pain ladies and know how frustrating it is to try so hard, be so good about it, have all the reasons in the world for it to work but fail month after month. I took it so personally. I know it's controversial to take clomid when you already ovulate regularly but maybe that can help some of you out there.. 

Baby dust to all of you ladies!! Still in shock and disbelief here..
