I had this ellaborate plan for telling him once I tested, but he INSISTED that I wait until today so he could be there with me. We pretty much knew it was going to be + b/c I've had TONS of symptoms...boobs hurting, lots of creamy cm, cramps, thrown up a couple of times, and my p4 level at 7dpo was 36! So, he was like "Is there anything on the test?" and I said "Yeah, there's a second line...I'm pregnant!!" It was soo sweet!

Congrats again Jessica. I read your post on cycle buddies. Question: How long were you on Femara and were you doing the trigger? I'm on my second month and I am trying not to lose faith yet!

I did the first month in Feb of 2.5 mg and didn't even O. The second cycle in March, I did 5 mg and I O'd BIG TIME, and it took me til day 24 to ovulate. I never did the trigger. Don't give up! Femara works!!

Wow--after that long and patient wait to O--you are pg. That is so cool and such inspiration!! Congrats!!! I keep thinking that maybe the trigger is setting me back--making me O when my body is not ready and I should try a cycle without soooo I think I will follow you next month and not do the trigger--and just try to be patient!!!

Thanks so much girls!!! I haven't gotten any betas...doc doesn't want me to freak or stress if they're not high. (???) I have my first appt on the 24th and I'll get an u/s. They want to see the baby and heartbeat. If they don't hear it Thurs, they'll do it again in a week to make sure. I guess that tells you more than betas, or so my doc thinks!

I'm not sure how many eggs I released. My doc didn't monitor me other than P4 at 7dpo and that was 36.

Wanted to say congrats!! Don't be suprised is you don't hear the heartbeat. They don't normally hear it till about 6 or 7 weeks. What they will be looking for is a fetal sac and a pole.
