The BFP!!

Well, My BFP story is kind of a strange one I guess. I had been charting and fertility friend had shown me ovulating on cycle day 8, which is completely crazy. Once I was about 12 or 13 days past ovulation they changed my ovulation date to cycle day 17. If I had ovulated on cycle day 17 there was no chance at all that I could be pregnant so I didn't really think much more about it.
Fast forward to Friday, September 5 just on a whim I decided to take a HPT. As I was sitting there waiting for the digital pregnancy test to spit out it's answer I was thinking to myself that I just wasted yet another test. I *knew* what it was going to say and I was just being silly for even taking the darn thing. Imagine my surprise when I found this staring back at me Photobucket
I was in complete shock and disbelief. So much so that about a half an hour later I took another and got this:

Just for good measure I took another one the next day and guess what . . . it said the same exact thing. I AM PREGNANT!!!!!!!!

How I got here.

After conceiving all my 3 daughters very easily I found myself facing infertility when we decided to try for baby #4. After a year of trying on our own I went to my OB/GYN. He found that I had not returned to ovulating after stopping Depo Provera over a year earlier. It was than that I went on Clomid. I was on and off of Clomid for 5 cycles until I decided to seek the help of an RE. My RE left me on Clomid and added Metformin. I did 1 round of Metformin alone and 3 rounds of a Clomid/ Met combo. The last cycle of the combo we also did a trigger shot and IUI, but it was unsuccessful. I had became very frustrated with the way my body was reacting to the medications so I decided to take some time off and give my body a break. About 3 months later I decided to give baby aspirin a try since I had heard so much about it and that was the cycle I finally got pregnant. I set this blog up to allow all of those who stood by me through that rough time in my life to follow the events of my pregnancy along with me.
