I have been on BC for around 15 years and came off in July so my husband and I can start TTC for our first. While tracking, I discovered I ovulated VERY late (CD 23) making my luteal phase very short (only 7-8 days) and so my midwife put me on Clomid 50mg (CD 3-7) to see if that would help make me ovulate sooner and lengthen my luteal phase.

When I had my progesterone tested 7 DPO (typically tested on CD21), it came back as only 3.7. Based on everything I was reading about progesterone levels, I was sure I wouldn’t be getting pregnant this cycle (and if I did that it would likely result in MC).

I was now 11 DPO and had been having the weirdest symptoms; Nausea, headaches, gas, very emotional, terrible acne. So out of mere curiosity, I took a Digital pregnancy test. It was positive!!! I immediately messaged my doctor and I went in for blood work yesterday to confirm. I also had her test my progesterone levels again and they are normal now!!! I am still in shock!

My husband and I have decided to not tell anyone at least until we get through as much of the first trimester as possible. So I had to tell someone as I am so excited.

Don’t lose Hope ladies!!! Baby dust to all of you! Mi
