One of the hormone "aids" I take is progesterone. It is a hormone that the body starts to make as soon as you ovulate. Well for some people there is a problem with the production and to leave nothing to chance my RE has had me use it this cycle (and the previous two). It gives you the same symptoms one might have if say they are pregnant.. and ironically... the same for PMS.. cruel cruel mother nature let me tell you!
Anyway.. since four days since the IUI I have been having what I assumed to be the progesterone lying, cruel symptoms. After seven days.. I took a pregnancy test.. why you ask.. well remember that trigger shot? That is the pregnancy hormone so you test positive on pregnancy until it is out of your system.. the last time I took it it was gone around 7 days so I tested it out and sure enough STARK white! Which means that if I get weak and want to test early I can believe what the test tells me.
Nine days after the IUI I am starting to feel the itch to test... and I was told by the pharmacist that if I am pregnant I should not be taking my allergy medications... well boo. My head tells me how many times have you been through this.. just test and see and if nothing you can continue to take the medication. I tell my mom that I WILL not be testing until Saturday..
September 2, 2011
I wake up and my boobs are hurting so bad I wonder... maybe I SHOULD test... so I do
Yup.. that is right... POSITIVE!
Holy crap.. I am in such disbelief... I look again and again.. and again... then I run downstairs to show hubby. At first he doesn't see it.. then he does and is concerned it isn't very dark.. I assure him that after two and a half years of stark white it is any line at all that means it is positive.. and that I am in fact pregnant! He still wants to wait for the doctor before calling it.. I tell him there is NO way I am sitting on this information all weekend not after everything we have been through! And I test again later in the day.. that is the second test shown above... he believes it this time.. but he is worried about getting too excited in case something happens.. he doesn't want me to "be upset" (how sweet).. I tell him that no matter what if something happens I will be upset so we might as well be happy and enjoy this moment. He finally agreed.
Two days later we see this.. the cool thing is that my sister brought this test for me to use when I test.. it is the second test from her box where she got her positive!
At this point I stop testing.. until I go to the doctor.
At 14dpo I go to the doctor for a blood test. My hormones are great and I am in fact PREGNANT for the first time EVER!
I go back two days later and my numbers are increasing. We have our first ultrasound set for Sept 20th! I wonder how many little ones we have in there?
HOLY SHIT... against all odds, I am PREGNANT! Please, Please, Please, Please.. let me carry this baby to term!
