Hopefully I've started the train of bfps!

So ladies these were the supplements I was on:

Vitamin D 2000iu
Fish oil 1000mg
Myo inositol 2000mg
Folic acid
D-Chrio-inositol 700mg
I've been taking everything for a while aside from the vitamin D and the Chrio so whether that helped this month or not I don't know but thought I would share 🙂

I also took serrapeptase for 2 to 3 months prior to this cycle it's great for clearing out scar tissue or anything bad in the body! Drs best. Look it up, it does amazing things.

TTC story - never used any protection since me and my DH got together 3.5 years ago (my twins are from my ex husband and actually had to have IVF to concieve them as my ex had low sperm count) we were together for 4 years before I got pregnant with the twins.. I have PCOS but due to my ex having his issue we went straight to IVF so I never knew if I could fall pregnant naturally or not (they didn't do any tests for me just said because of his count and sperm morphology only option is IVF ICSI - first try worked and we got our twin girls ( only transferred one egg and it split into two and gave me my wonderful identical girls). Jump to my now relationship - never used protection aside from the pull out method at the start of our relantionship. I honestly just thought I couldn't fall pregnant naturally at all as we had years of not using anything and no pregnancy. This is my first ever natural bfp in my life!!!! So it's reassured me that my body can do it! I honestly thought I would have to have IVF to concieve again! Now that the first month of clomid has done it, I wonder if I was ovulating properly before or not? Even tho the gynaecologist said I was last cycle when she scanned me she told me I ovulated that cycle naturally, but it makes me think I wasn't or not strong enough? Or maybe my progestrone was so low it wasn't holding a pregnancy?? As I was also put on progestrone this cycle... Anyway I am still in shock!!!! I don't think I'll believe it for a while yet and will keep testing until it sinks in!!! Just to know also, I did test last night and had such faint lines I almost thought I was seeing things and thought no it's nothing .... but today's is darker - so don't dismiss faint lines for line eyes!! Good luck ladies. I hope you don't mind me sticking around in this group as I would love to continue supporting you all!

@Happinesscomesfromwithin what great news to wake up to this morning!! Congratulations 🎉🎉

chloedancer897 · 02/05/2021 08:55

@Happinesscomesfromwithin what an amazing story! I've heard that clomid is really helpful for PCOS, so either that, your positive thinking, or a combination of everything did it! So delighted for you xox

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 02/05/2021 10:05

Thank you everyone!! 🙂

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 02/05/2021 10:31

Hoping you all you get your bfps soon!

@happinesscomesfromwithin Congratulations!!!

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 02/05/2021 22:00

How's everyone doing today? Any updates?

Luna1108 · 02/05/2021 22:26

@Happinesscomesfromwithin feeling super low. Tough weekend seeing pregnant friends Saturday and my 3 week old nephew today. Obviously happy situations and managed to smile through it all because I’m happy for them.

Ovulation not confirmed by my apps yet but LH tests no longer showing positive so should be confirmed soon. Now for the dreaded TWW!

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 02/05/2021 22:36

So sorry @Luna1108 I know exactly how u feel. It seems everyone around you falls pregnant at the drop of a hat and you can't help but feel sorry for yourself even if you are happy for them. It's tough. But just know that it will happen for you too! Keep the faith even through the dark days. I know it's heart wrenching.

chloedancer897 · 02/05/2021 23:53

@Happinesscomesfromwithin I've had a horrific 2 days. I barely left bed yesterday, I spent the whole day crying. I wish I was stronger but I'm finding it more difficult as time goes on.
@Luna1108 I know exactly how you feel. You're always so happy for other people but it's hard not to feel slightly jealous of them. You will get there xo

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 03/05/2021 00:53

So sorry to hear that @chloedancer897 and I'm sorry if it was insensitive of me to post my bfp yesterday. In hindsight maybe it wasn't the best thing to do. I totally relate to how you feel though honestly the amount of days I've cried in bed in agony over not being able to get pregnant are countless.

chloedancer897 · 03/05/2021 01:53

@Happinesscomesfromwithin please don't apologise. This thread is for us to share our thoughts good and bad. I am completely over the moon that you got your BFP. I mean that. We have all been through so much and you deserve this xx

Shelleybe · 03/05/2021 09:54

@chloedancer897 @Luna1108 aww i am sorry ye are having bad weekend. I know what it’s like. It’s so hard. My acupuncturist goes other day sure just don’t be thinking about it... I was like sure that’s such a silly comment. Virtual hugs to you both... be kind to yourselves and don’t feel guilty for feeling how you do x

@Happinesscomesfromwithin we are all so happy for you as it shows clomid does work... and you are going through same battle as us so enjoy this moment x

Luna1108 · 03/05/2021 10:00

@Happinesscomesfromwithin like Shelley said, we’re happy to see it here as it gives us hope that someone sharing our journey was successful. So don’t feel bad at all. We can only hope that we’ll be able to do the same in the coming months.

@chloedancer897 I can’t tell you how happy I am that today is bank holiday, not sure I would’ve been able to face my job today. Going to sit on the sofa and watch movies and cry most probably. And hug my dog.

Shelleybe · 03/05/2021 11:38

@Luna1108 awww doggy cuddles are the best x

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 03/05/2021 11:47

Must of been a chemical - started bleeding today.

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 03/05/2021 12:43

Weird because my test yesterday was darker than the day before and today I woke up to bleeding I'm so confused.

lastbany · 03/05/2021 12:54

@Happinesscomesfromwithin aw no! Is it heavy bleeding like period? Because yu can spot still , did you take another test? I think must be photo Caus I can't see on that photo xx

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 03/05/2021 13:12

Yes and yesterdays test was a lot darker as you can see in this pic: I'm not sure as it just started but I'm bleeding, no clots though.
