BFP!! (with Male Factor and latent PCOS)

[Kissmygrits 0]

I am so excited to report that I got a BFP this morning (11 days past ovulation). It was totally shocking. I've had no symptoms other than feeling "wierd" and having a little nausea, which I attributed to just having a few "bad lapband" days (I usually feel a little queasy if I eat something that doesn't sit well).

I have that dreaded bitch, PCOS, but since being banded my cysts have gone away- Thank God! But my doctor cautioned that the underlying condition is always there so it might be more difficult for me to get pregnant anyway.

On top of my annoying ovary issues, hubby had low sperm counts (actually his counts were zero before he went to a urologist for treatment). His urologist had him on Clomid for 4 months to get his numbers up to normal. This was the first month we tried with his "normal" numbers and Boom!

We were (reluctantly) considering IVF in the Winter if we weren't preggers by then, which we really didn't want to do and definitely could not afford. We prayed about it, used the ClearPlan ovulation monitor, and Preseed. God is good!!!

Congrats Kissmygrits! You must be so extremely excited! Are you telling anyone yet?

Congratulations! That is wonderful! I am in the process of ttc#1 on clomid (2nd cycle) (100 mgs) and Ovidrel shot.

Hopefully I will be following your footsteps!!!

Congrats! I have PCOS as well, and losing weight boosted my ferterility. I was always told I wouldn't get pg without medical intervention... I guess getting banded is technically intervention, but not the types the Dr's probably expected. Congratulations!

Seeing the BFP was probably the most exciting thing.

Congrats! Such blessed news, I am thrilled for you! I had mild PCOS before banding as well, it's gone now!

Due in 2 weeks, hoping to deliver in 2 days....I am REALLY ready.

Thanks for all the nice things you have said! We are excited but nervous for sure. I guess this has taught me to keep the faith and not to get discouraged or give up. Even facing the most insurmountable odds, great things can happen. Who ever thought that with God's help I'd be able to conquer my weight and infertility? I feel so blessed.

dewl- we haven't told anybody but very close family (parents and some siblings). We're waiting to tell the rest until after most of the danger period is over- probably around 8-10 weeks. I have my 6 week ultrasound next week!

Mrs. FlipFlops- yes, I'm paranoid so I still test. But it's great fun to finally see a testing stick I'm not angry at.

EJMdiva-- wow! You're in the homestretch. Keep us posted on your bundle!

NJSoldierswife-- baby dust and blessings to you and your DH. It will happen and sooner than you think!!
