After 14 months of TTC, we received a Christmas miracle! At 11dpo, I woke from the most vivid dream of a BFP and how I surprised my husband. It was so intensely real and I woke up feeling as if it had already happened! It was crazy. I figured...why not test. Sure enough, the faintest of lines appeared almost instantly! We are PREGNANT! We were so shocked being that I was away for training half of the month but that last weekend of the course, I had a positive OPK on Friday. I figured we might as well try that weekend but at this point, I had little to no hope anything would happen. After one failed <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> and my fertility specialist only giving me 5% chance of conceiving without assistance and after a full year of trying, I was starting to think that <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> was our only hope. I have endometriosis and prolactinoma (tiny tumor on my pituitary gland causing elevated prolactin levels). God answers prayers and knows the perfect time to deliver!

There were a few new things I tried but it could have just been the combination of everything and prayers.

TIPS of what I did this cycle:

Liquid Lydia Pinkham: CD1 until positive OPK. Heads up, this is the most horrible tasting thing on Earth!

(2) 650mg Vitex: starting day after positive OPK and continuing it through my first trimester

81mg Low Dose Aspirin: started the day after positive OPK and continuing it through my first trimester. It was my first month trying it to help with endo inflammation but read it also helps with preventing miscarriages.

2.5mg Letrozole: CD 5-10; actually took it this month not with the intentions of TTC but it actually helps with my endo pain

Also used Mucinex on the day after positive OPK and Preseed (more than I usually use)

Ate pineapple core: 5 days starting day after ovulation (1dpo-5dpo)

Because I was training for my fitness test, might diet and exercise routine was better than most months.

If you read this far, thank you!!! I hope this helps someone. I received so much hope month after month from others sharing their stories. Hope I can do the same. Baby dust to you all and praying all those that just got BFPs have sticky beans!
