BFP at last!

allie77 · Mar 31, 2008 2:02PM

$:\$ )I have got my longed for BFP after 8 long months and I'm still in shock. OH and I are so happy and excited and just really hoping it all goes well. all being well I think the baby will be due the first week December, which seems such a long way off!

I know when other people got BFPs I always found it useful to listen to their story so here's mine...

We had been trying for 6 months (including using pre-seed and ovulation kits) with no luck and were getting really worried about it even though I was pretty sure I was ovulating and we did a home sperm test which was fine.

So I decided to try acupuncture and found a fantastic chinese medical doctor who specialises in fertility. For the first month she prescribed me herbal tablets (which I was very dubious about), twice weekly acupuncture sessions and told me to track my basal body temp (BBT),

When AF came after one month I was really downhearted. But she looked at my BBT chart, explained what she saw and changed my tablets. In month 2 I had weekly acupuncture. My most recent session was on Wednesday evening and I was really down as AF was due and I had really sore boobs and mild cramps, both of which signal AF for me. I was one day late. My doctor took my pulse and said I should 'definitley take a test'. I still really felt like AF was on the way so waited another 2 days to test and got a BFP straight away! Still can't quite believe it.

I can't know for sure if the treatments and herbs were the main factor but I feel that they were. They seemed to just balance my hormones slightly and boost ovulation.

Good luck to everyone, I'll keep popping in to see how you're all getting on xxx
