After almost 6 long years

Y’all, I’ve taken countless pregnancy tests, each time only to be met with the blank, sterile, white spot where I so longed to see a double pink line. I’ve taken endless OPKs, stuck thermometers in uncomfortable places to measure bbt and taken 5 Clomid cycles that gave me horrendous periods, a few of which landed me in the hospital the blood loss was so great. I felt the burn of the HSG test to open my fallopian tubes and had surgery to remove a polyp before starting an IVF cycle. I endured the countless shots and blood draws during this IVF cycle. I did get pregnant, but sadly it ended in an early miscarriage. After all of this, after almost 6 long years I finally got my BFP tonight! I’m 39 years old. I’ve almost given up. The days leading up to taking this test I kept telling myself, “don’t get your hopes up, you know you’re not pregnant”. I ignored my swollen breast, mild cramping and nausea. I didn’t believe it was possible, but I’m so thankful to have been proven wrong tonight! If you pray, please say a prayer for us that this little one sticks.

To anyone else struggling as I have, do not lose faith. I have been taking Metformin, levothyroxine, and letrozole. This is what has worked for me.
