Hello everybody 🌸

A couple of days ago, I posted my faint lines of an other group and I found out yesterday that I’m pregnant. I don’t want to brag about it on this group, I just want to tell you some backstory so maybe I could help some of you. I’m from Belgium, not a native so forgive me for my English. 🌍

We started TTC in March 2017. But September I had already had two chemicals. Which sucked but somehow they gave me hope, I knew I could conceive. So I stick up to my vitamins, kept tracking my ovulation with line tests, and baby dancing around three times on my fertile window 💏

We bought our first home by Christmas 🎄 and we were very happy.

But by March 2018, a year of ttc, I still wasn’t pregnant. I tryed soooo many things, I went to see all kind of doctors and spent so much money 💰 on trying to have this baby that I was just exhausted. We started being those couples that only have sex to make this baby and not the happy couple we were. We started arguing, I felt like a failure and we needed to take a break from trying.

My husband lost his job due to a accident that Broke a part of his foot making him unable to work for at least a year. We decided to take this opportunity to make him start something new, a new college degree and to quit making our lifes on hold. (Didn’t book holiday because what if I’m so pregnant I can’t take the plane,..)

We felt better but still not getting pregnant, people kept telling me that it was in my head, that I thought about it to much but I never stopped, it was my goal. We tryed conceive plus and didn’t do the trick for us.

In August 2018, we changed our method. I used digital ovulation test, the clear blue ones that gives you 4 days. I stopped telling my husband when my ovulation week was so he wasn’t pressured into sex. I started enjoying sex again and so did he. But I just made sure the days were correct. We kept using conceive plus.

In October 2018, I went to see my doctor again, I told him it was getting harder and harder and he gaves us 3 products:

-new vitamins for me, not for pre-pregnancy but to make sure that my vagina and uterus would be a good hosting space

- a médecin to insert in my vagina to make sure I didn’t have a small infection that we missed but the tests

- vitamins for my husband sperm, I really do think that’s what made the trick.

I ovulated on November 15th, and :

▪️on day 6 I had a nose bleed.

▪️During the week that followed, I couldn’t sleep but was exhausted.

▪️I had vivid dreams ! I could remember any details for dayyyyys !

▪️I had dizziness but I thought it was due to my lack of sleep

But,

I had to pee a little bit more but that wasn’t the crazy I expected. I didn’t have sore breast before one day before my period due date.

I just knew something was weird and since I’ve always started testing 4 days before missed period, I did. The first one was so faint I couldn’t be sure I saw it. The second one was still faint but positive (according to 80% on glow voters 🍾)

Sooo I made an appointment for a blood test two days before my missed period and it came back positive. 🎉🍾😍 it’s a very low positive, since I tested sooo early so we have to do another one by next week :)!

WE ARE PREGNANT. 🍾🎉🎈

Baby dust to all of you still trying. 😘
