This is my Success Story and bringing hope to All!
My DH and I TTC for 2+ years before conceiving our first child. I had two laps done, one to diagnosis me with ENDO and the other to correct the problem. I also have to take Clomid because my progesterone levels are so low. My husband had excellent sperm. The doctor gave him a little ego boost telling him it’s better than the normal. So that just added more stress, more frustration, more heartache that our infertility was all because of me. Great.
I kept a calendar next to my nightstand that had countless notes on BBT readings, Clomid start/stop, blood draws, pee stick results, cycle start/stop, mucus notes, sex notes, and whatever else.
My specialist increased my Clomid dosage to 100mg. August 2004. Just before this a friend told me about an ovulation watch. I didn’t believe that a watch was going to help me get pregnant since I had a calendar full of methods. But at this point in time I had just had a mental breakdown while taking a walk with my mom one afternoon and was desperate to try anything!
So the first month I used the 100mg. of Clomid I also began to wear the watch. (Oh, it's call OV Watch). We were so sick of our working sex life that we had sex only on the day the watch read Ovulation Day 1. I received a positive ovulation pee stick reading four days later. That would have been too late for conception. I was able to count back on my calendar and pinpointed that I conceived that day we had sex and the watch said ovulation day 1.
My specialist was planning on moving onto injections the following month if we didn’t get pregnant. My DH was scared to death of that. He feared multiples. Thank God I got pregnant and didn’t have to start the injections.
My little boy just turned a year old in May.
I pulled out my OV Watch again and my specialist put my on Clomid (two months on 50mg and then two months of 100mg.)
I conceived on the second month of using both the OV Watch and 100mg. of Clomid. We had sex on Ovulation Day 1 (twice). Again, I received a positive ovulation pee stick reading 3 days later. Again, this would have been too late.
I seriously wouldn't speak of something that I didn't really feel aided me in getting pregnant. It's worth a look into.
Now I’m not saying that it’s the thing for everyone and that everyone should rush out and buy it. And I’m not claiming to be some expert. BUT it is a pretty cool thing. There’s no messy peeing on sticks or cups, rubbing mucus between your fingers, making sure to take a temp at the same exact time everyday. I just wore it at night and read what it said in the morning. Maybe if your situation is similar to mine then maybe it could help you?!?
I will say it’s not exactly cheap but for me I found it rather comparable.
To me it's priceless! Because I now am able to hug and kiss my baby boy everyday and am blessed with one on the way.
Wishing you all the luck in the world and may God bless you so very soon with your very own little miracle. All of the TTC girls out there will be forever in my heart and my prayers.
I feel once a TTC girl your ALWAYS a TTC girl and will always have a special bond with any TTC girl out there.
