After 2 years and 3 months of trying and trying and trying....

Every month, we got excited - "i kinda feel nauseous", "my boobs are sore", "I'm sleepy"... "maybe this is our month!!" And every month we were let down with a BFN or AF😭

In the meantime, my best friend got pregnant during her honeymoon (their first try) and my little sister got pregnant after 3 tries. I was super happy for them obviously, but it was also hard... why can everyone get pregnant, but me😄😭

We took all the tests and everything came back fine. So we were diagnosed as "unexplained infertility." Glad nothing was wrong with us, but that means there's nothing we can do to fix the situation😒

February was our first cycle of clomid. We were originally going to do just the clomid for the first month, but decided to add <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> at the last minute.

We wanted to be hopeful, but were also trying not to get our hopes up.

TWW felt longer than ever😫

My BBT usually starts falling around dpo 11-12, but it stayed high this cycle.

I usually start spotting on dpo 12-13 but I didn't.

I soooo wanted to test, but because of all the bfn experiences, i felt like it was bad luck to test early. I promised myself that I'll wait till my expected period day.

On dpo 14, when my af was planned to come, I woke up at 5:30. Went to the bathroom and took the test and there were two lines‼️ Not too dark, but definitely two lines. Woke my husband up and he confirmed the two lines. We were just in shock... there was no way that we would fall back asleep again, so we went to buy the digital one and took the test again There it was - "pregnant"😄😍😭😊😆

I wanted to share my story because whenever I was down and wanted to give up, I read all the stories of people getting a BFP.

It cheered me up.

It gave me hope.

It helped me keep going.

Of course, I'm most thankful to my super super supportive and loving hubby who was always on my side throughout this time😘 but I'm also super thankful to this warm community. Thank you everyone and glow❤️ couldn't have done it without you!

ADDED: Here is my BBT chart for the cycle I got pregnant. My BBT pre-ovulation is usually much lower, but I think it was the effect of clomid.

And here's what we did:

-BD'd everyday except for the day before <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> (not allowed). BD'd the night of <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> too (recommended by the doctor)

-used preseed (not sure if it actually helped because we've used it before for 4-5 cycles and didn't get pregnant)

-Clomid 50mg on cd3-7

-<a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> the day after testing positive on opk

-I take prenatal supplements and 2000mg vitamin D
