My story ttc till preggo's

Hi girlies

Never thought about posting my ttc story here, why, I don't know... but here it goes. (sorry, a bit long)

Well, it all started in September 2005, we were married on the 17th and then I went off the pill (was on it for about 4 years) In Noveber nothing happend so I went to see a gynae in Pta East hospital for a check up, she said that I'm fine and that I must just give it "time". That's the right thing, I though... but little did I know I'll end up @ another gynae at the Wilgers and he did a Lap in Jan 06 to see what is happening inside. He found PCOS and put me on Clomids. 3 cycles I got, but NO eggies, not even one.

My boss suggested I go for another opinion, best clinic in Jhb, Medfem and see the doc there. They were great. I did a few tests and he said that he wants to do another Clomid cycle with Gonal F, and then do IUI, but I refused and told him that it's a waiste of money, what are the chances, can't we go for IVF instead.

He found out that I was insulin resistant and put me on Glocophage and then also referred me to a dietician to loose 6kg's to get my insulin down. So I went on that pills and the Low GI Diet and lost 6kg's easily!

Sooo... my boss borrowed me the money for the IVF (which I still owe them) and we did the IVF in July 2007, I was but on the short protocol and got TONS of injections, in my thighs and tummy. Soo sore, but I had 9 eggies on ER, and only 6 of them was growing till stage 5 and then he said cause I'm sooo young, he can only put back 2 of them and that my chances are very high to get preggers. 2 weeks went past and nothing, I was sooo dissappointed, could'nt stop crying, that was the worst day of my life, they were the 2 most precious eggies I've ever seen.

So we decided to do IUI instead... we did it 3 times, with no luck, fist one they said DH sperm was a bit "croocket" and that luckily they can choose the best ones. I was 40 days late at some stage.... But neither of that worked and there we were back at square 1. Doc suggested another IVF but we didn't have the money... so we waited. He said that otherwise he can't find anything wrong, but the eggies doesn't want to stick. Did a LOT of prayers and could'nt find the answers.

Then we went to a doc in Kloof, he is great... (he was a lot nearer to Bronkies and cheaper) we went there and he decided to do another Lap, just because the last one was so long ago. He did the lap and some other tests and find out that my blood was too thick, no baby would ever survive in that. So he put me on Ecotrin, found mild Endo and clear all my "buise". Then dh said he doesn't want to go on anymore, he is sick of being a robot, of paying all this money for nothing and that I'm not getting the "baby" thing so lekker, it comes from God, and from God only, there are doctors who can help you, but in the end, He decides who gets a baby when. I told the doc we're leaving everything for this moment. (but I've taken 1 more cycle of Clomid without anybody knowing accept doc)

In April 2009 we put our name up for adoption at the CMR and then got onto the list... was sooo nice hearing that words, we were one of the 7 lucky couples out of 900. In June we got the option (private) to adopt a baby boy (through my boss) but dh said it was too quick and my MIL didn't liked it at all. So that dream didn't come true. We went for numerous screenings and paid a lot of money for the adoption and then, all of the sudden in September I told dh that my boobies are soooo sore.

We were @ a wedding that Saturday and I didn't even wanted to have a lot of wine.. was just feeling urggggg... then the Wednesday (the day before our 4th anniversary) I decided to test. Did the test, went for the bloods, long story short, couldn't wait for our anniversary day and spoiled the beans to dh the day before!! He was OVER THE MOON and so was I, NEVER EVER in my whole life have I had a positive pregnancy test and here it was. The BEST 4th ANNIVERSARY GIFT EVER!!!!! 4 years of ttc and eventually it happend...

And here I am now.... 6 months later, waiting for our little angel miracle Limay to arrive! God is GREAT, NEVER underestimate the power of GOD!!!

These kind of stories just make you never want to give up! After our mis in December I thought, no, I can't do this. I don't want to go through this again. But then a miracle happens and you step back and think how could you give up on your dream so easily?

Thank you for sharing Dooi!
