Hello everyone!
My name is April and I found out last night that we are expecting our first baby in May! EDD based on O date is May 16th.
We had been trying for almost a year and I was diagnosed quickly with anovulatory PCOS and we moved on to an RE this summer. We just finished our first round of Clomid and after a really weird cycle we got our BFP!
I was convinced I was out after a negative test at 13DPO, especially combined with spotting starting at 8DPO and finally ending at 18DPO and low(ish) temps that were still above cover but not as high as I expected. After an appointment with the RE yesterday he asked me to take one more pregnancy test before starting Provera and I almost didn't do it and I'm so glad I did!
I called my RE this morning to request betas, but for now, I am pregnant and I'm going to enjoy it. I look forward to getting to know everyone!
**BETA UPDATE**
Beta came back at 219, so definitely pregnant! I'm going back on Friday morning for a second test and they want the numbers to be around 400 to indicate a healthy pregnancy.
My progesterone was only 5, so they are having the pharmacy overnight some progesterone suppositories that I will be on for the entire 1st trimester. I'm not going to lie, this does make me nervous but I'm determined to stay positive.
