So We moved back home in May. Sean and I had already decided to start trying again in April. And given our history, we went ahead and scheduled an appointment with a specialist for the end of May. So, that appointment came and went, which I blogged about here. Little did we know, that would be the only appointment we would need. I was supposed to have another HSG the day after I wrote that post. But that never happened.
Side note: (And TMI for probably some) - 6 weeks after the D&E, my body started regulating itself. I had monthly periods. Which meant I was ovulating. On my own. But when we went to the specialist here in Columbia, he wasn't convinced my body just suddenly started doing that. Which is why we scheduled the HSG. Because the plan was to start the medicine again once that was done.
Anyway, the HSG never happened. Because my period hadn't stopped yet. If I remember correctly, I had to reschedule that twice. So, I figured I was out that cycle because even if I was going to ovulate, I assumed my body wouldn't have had enough time to build up any sort of lining to support an egg. I was wrong.
I was already temping again by that point. The day before I was supposed to have the HSG, I ovulated. I had positive tests and my temperature had risen quite a bit. So, my doctor wanted to postpone the HSG for the next cycle. Two weeks later, I took a test. And I saw the two beautiful lines. And I continued to take test for 2 weeks after because I was in disbelief. The day I started my job, I got the confirmation from my blood test that I was in fact pregnant.
So. We got pregnant. On our own. With no medicine. With no ultrasounds. I never ever thought after everything, I'd get pregnant without intervention. It feels right. It feels meant to be.
So, I'm now 18 weeks 3 days pregnant. You all know 18 weeks was when we found out about Bootsie. So, this week was rough for me emotionally. But, on Friday, we heard our baby's beautiful heartbeat. I'm showing quite a bit. I have tons of symptoms still. I really believe this is our rainbow. And I really believe in March, we'll be bringing this baby home.
We're ready to meet our Sunny on March 13th. (We aren't actually naming the baby Sunny...it's just what we are calling the baby for now).
