Well shit. I had just about got my head around never getting pregnant again, but my period was due today and it didn’t turn up. My boobs still hurt and I am cramping so I just took a test and, well, you see the result. (Or at least I hope you do and it’s not just me who can see that squinter). Feeling slightly bad about the ‘Dutch courage’ glass of wine I had before testing, but anyway...
I’m scared really about telling DH, about how this will turn out (have had both ectopics and MCs before). Need to stay calm, sort scans etc during my most busy (and boozy) work period.
There were actually things I did differently this cycle, and maybe it is worth sharing.
I took serrapeptase 80,000iu daily on an empty stomach until I ovulated. I also took a probiotic with breakfast and DHA twice a day. I also decided to follow the IVF advice of eating pineapple daily from ov onwards and have been keeping my feet and womb warm all the time.
I think it could be the serrapeptase that made the difference - I know I have abdominal adhesions and it didn’t hurt around ovulation for the first time in years.
The other thing that might have made a difference is that I have a filthy cold. I also had one when I got pregnant last almost 3 years ago. Not that that’s something controllable, but maybe of interest.
Anyway, I’m off to process. I’m honestly pleased, but v scared and will find it hard to accept until it’s a definite thing. I’m also a bit sorry as I’ve actually been on MN infertility threads on and off for 9 years, and have always hated the people who appear, post twice and promptly fall pregnant. I really hope you all get your positive soon too.
