Over the moon

I’m so excited that I get to post this. Just shy of 2 years ago (May 12j) my husband and I lost our little girl at 34 weeks to complications of T18. We were devastated. We got the okay from the doctor in late June that year to start trying again...we had no luck. My cycles became erratic and at time so light they were almost non existent. So, in March of this year we broke down and went to the doctor. They prescribed me 1 round of Chlomid and did an AMH test. The doctor called a week before my expected period and basically told me there was no hope except maybe IVF...which is not a viable option for us. Since I already paid for the medicine we decided I would go ahead and take it. I used An opk...and there was no surge. However April 2 I had my first “real” period in over a year. It was on time and everything. Continuing to use an opk kit I track the first LH surge I had in a long time and it was during the time frame my husband husband was actually home (he travels for his job).

Starting 7 days before my next expected period I started using the pregnancy test strips that came with my kit and nothing. My mood swings during the last 2 days made me believe my period was going to start pretty much on time.

There were so many test strips I was testing 2xs a day to use them up. I just wanted them gone. Last night I thought I saw the second line...but it was so light and thin I wrote it off as wishful thinking and a shadow. This morning it happens again...I “thought” it was darker...but I was running on a few hours of sleep, so I again wrote it off...then this after noon after I got off work I tested again....and it was positive. I went to town (guzzling 33 Oz of water in the 10 min drive) and got a first response and went to my sisters (who lives in town). Peed on my stick, stick it in is wrapper and went out to tell sis what was going on. Pulled it out...and it was positive!!!!

Hubby is currently working in Guam...left right after the LH surge. I called him while he was at breakfast. He is so excited. We can’t wait for him to get home so we can celebrate.

I pray for a better outcome this time.
