We're PREGNANT!!
I'm still in shock! After two years of trying!
Even crazier, three weeks ago we were told that our only chance of conceiving would be through In Vitro Fertilization. Hearing this, we were devastated, confused, and frustrated. We knew we wouldn't be able to afford IVF at this time, so we decided to continue with at least one more round of insurance-covered IUI (intra-uterine insemination). We had already tried three rounds of IUI that failed.
So I was waiting for my period to begin birth control pills to get my hormones in order for the upcoming IUIs...when my period was late. So the morning of Thursday November 12th... I decided to test...
Big Fat Positive!!!!
In disbelief, I frantically woke up James and made him look at the test to tell me it was real and I wasn't dreaming. Later that day I called up the one of the nurses I had been working with, who then ordered a blood pregnancy test, which came back at 825!!!

She informed me that I was 4 weeks, 3 days pregnant and our due date is July 19th, 2010. Everything is right on track as far as we can tell right now.
I will go in on Monday (11/16) for another blood test. We want to see the hcg number increase.
I can hardly wait...I'm such a worrier to begin with, all I can think about is the cramping I have been having. Apparently this is normal unless it is accompanied with bleeding, which it's not.
There's our success story...so far so good.
We'll keep you informed of ALL updates....
