Well I have been on here for a while so I thought I would finally share my journey! Let me tell you a little about myself. I am 29 my dh is 30, we have been married for 10 years and are expecting our first baby in June :)YAY!!! Here is how we got there!
I have endometriosis diagnosed in 2001. My dh and I had been ttc 18months when we got our bfp!
June2008 I went in to dr. He decided to do laporoscopy, hysteroscopy, hsg, and D&C. They found both tubes were blocked with endometriosis (did surgery to unblock), and stage 3 endometriosis.
July 2008~ I was told at my followup that unblocking the tubes is usually unsuccessful and that I needed to consider IVF. (my dh and I couldn't afford that so it wasn't really an option).
August 2008~ I went in a month later for a follow up hsg to see if the surgery worked and it showed one tube open, one still blocked. My dr. recommended IVF. We continued to try on our own.
September- October 2008~ We conceived the Sept. cycle. We found out we are pregnant in October (the weekend of our 10 year anniversary). We are thrilled. Went into my dr who was very concerned it was a tubal because of my tube issues. I have been going in atleast once a week for monitoring and saw the sac and yolk in the uterus yesterday!!! SO it is in the right place. My hcg numbers 19dpo were 228, 21dpo 619, 27dpo 8,888. The sac is measuring a week behind so they think I am not as far along as originally thought. It is completely possible because my digital opk gave me a high reading from cd 10-22 and never a peek and got bfn until 15dpo when I got a very light positive and then a much better positive the following days. I am thankful we didn't give up and kept thinking anything could happen! I feel great. My bb are sore, I have heartburn and I have never been happier to feel like crap :) The only thing we did different this month was use instead cups. Don't know if it was that or the surgery, fertil aid I had been taking, etc.
