As you know from my earlier posts, we needed a little extra help getting pregnant. The first month we tried Clomid we got pregnant! We were so excited about our baby on the way, but God had other plans for our little man. We are so blessed that he was ours for just a little while.
We waited until the recommended 3rd cycle to begin trying again with Clomid, but silly me started on the wrong day which resulted in a huge mess. We knew the cycle was probably not going to be successful, but we tried anyways only to find out that we still weren't pregnant. It's funny how you can know something is not going to work and still be disappointed when it doesn't.
The next month we used Clomid again, this time on the right day, and I tried Acupuncture, and I charted BBT, and I was working on my mental health by going to counseling. Low and behold, my BBT chart revealed that Christmas Eve and Christmas were prime days to try (TMI?). Even though we were visiting with family for the holidays, we discretely made it work.
We always celebrate New Years with our friends Nick and Andrea. This year they brought their neighbors, Stacey and Abe, with them and the six of us had a grand time. Since I was hoping that something could be happening, I only had a couple of drinks the entire weekend and made sure I didn't eat too much junk food.
The week after New Years, I felt a little funny. Almost a heavy feeling like I was going to start my period but no cramps. We spent part of the next weekend down in Richmond visiting with Matt's family and I still felt a little off, slightly nauseous even, so I just sipped some ginger ale and nibbled on some simple foods. It was still too early to test at that point but we were extremely close.
That Sunday, I finally broke down and tested. Guess what?....
That's Big Fat Positive for those of you who don't troll pregnancy forums like me. This digital test even spells it out!
Yup, we're pregnant!!
