I've name changed as SIL will decipher this otherwise! Posting so I have somewhere to vent my thoughts and hopes.
Long story short, have been trying to conceive for 4 years. Fertility drugs, iui and every trick in the book didn't work so I took a break from unexplained infertility. Half a year into this break and I appear to be ovulating earlier, my periods aren't as heavy, I finally feel happy at pregnancy announcements, all the usual that you hope will happen after the misery of long term TTC. I'm in a good place.
This month I ovulated by surprise, I can usually feel it coming but only felt the after effects. There is a strong chance (if normal fertility) that the egg and sperm would meet.
At 4-5dpo I broke out in a rash down my arms, very unusual for me. I've been hit at night ever since, very unusual for me.
6dpo today and I'm exhausted. I've caught a terrible cold, very unusual as I never get colds, especially not like this.
I feel different. I feel relaxed, almost like I know my body is trying, I know it'll be alright. I saw a car number plate with 'bfp' this morning and I can't help but think something has changed this month.
Please cross fingers for me. I couldn't think of anything lovelier for Christmas. My imagination keeps 'going there', I haven't done this for ages.
Looking forward to updating you all in due course!
