First ever BFP

Low and behold you only read miracles like this they never happen to you. So while I was waiting for AF to show up so we could start IVF i actually fell pregnant. I thought great just my luck my period is late so my IVF start date will be late. I never thought i could be pregnant not after Dr S said it would be likely about 2% that i would conceieve naturally. So i was about a week late and decided i might as well do a HPT since every time i have done them in the past i alway get AF the next day.
2 Lines OMG. Im pregnant
That cant be right so i peed on a few more and they were all pregnant. So both YKISTA and I get really excited and ring our family and tell them.
Well as i said i always get my period when i take HPT, the next day i had some cramping and started spotting. Holy crap whats happening so i went to the hospital. They tested my HCG levels and they were fine and i had a scan to see if i was pregnant. Because it was still early only 5 1/2 weeks there was the sac and yolk but too early for a HB. Told all looked fine come back if bleeding continues.
Well the spotting stopped so we thought yay all is fine and i am pregnant, we are going to have a baby.
about 2 days later i started spotting and then full on bleeding and cramps. OMG what is going on. Back to the hospital and it is confirmend that i am having a MC (Miscariage) as my HCG levels have dropped.
Devestated i thought all our prayers had been answered only to be kicked in the guts and brought back to reality.
So after the devestation we deceide that hey we can get pregnant on our own lets try for a few months and if nothing happens we will go back to IVF.

FS Appointment

After waiting about 8 weeks to get an appointment we finally got an appt with DR S. He was very nice and we were comfortable with him from the start, which is a good thing when your talking about intimate stuff with him.
Anyway he didn't seem to concerned with my pain since it had only happened twice maybe 3 times in my whole 15 years of having my period, but sent me off for some tests and sent YKISTA off for a SA (Semen Analysis).
I was sent to have a HSG which is a dye that is put into the cervix and flushed through your tubes to see if there is any blockages. All good a small amount of blockage but nothing that could affect anything.
YKISTA had to have a date with a cup and that unfortunately came back not so good. 1 test showed about 15mil swimmers and another 22mil, the motility and morphology was ok, just low.
DR S said that cos they were low there was no point beating around the bush trying IUI or tracking he said lets go straight to IVF and ICSI (sperm being injected into the eggs)
OMG was my reaction, so off we went to think about it and decided that since about 4 months had passed that we might as well go down the track of IVF, it had now been 2 years.
So in Dec 2008 we went off to our clinic and signed the paper work. Staring down the path of our first IVF cycle to start end Jan 2009.
Jan 2009 came around and OMG we are Pregnant yep you heard correctly we are pregnant before we started out first round of IVF

Our TTC Journey

Well as my timeline states we started TTC in Dec 2006. We knew that it wouldn't happen over night but didn't think it would take more then a year. We were both fairly healthy and couldn't think that there was anything wrong with us.
I remember my first period was late by about a week. I had always been regular but I had been on the pill for about 5 years. I took a HPT and of course it was Negative, and yep next day i got AF. (Aunt Flo or my period)
Anyway fast forward about 8 months and still not pregnant. Anyway in in about October 2007 I got AF and I also got this really sharp pain in my left ovary region. I never suffer from period pain or if I do have pain it is really mild and I can cope, never taken anything for it not even panadol. So when i get sharp pain that makes me feel like I am going to throw up and pass out I wonder why. So off to the Dr I go. The Dr had me do a blood HCG test, which came back negative but was concerned so they sent me to have an ultrasound. They thought it might be an ectopic pregnancy but the HCG test keep coming up negative. Anyway the ultrasound showed a small amount of blood in my left fallopian tube but nothing that could be causing the pain. Well the pain stopped when AF finished and I didnt think anything of it.
A few months down the track my periods were back to normal but then again I started getting bad pain when I had my period. Dr gave me a referral to the gyno for the pain and to see why the hell we weren't pregnant yet.

How We Met

YKISTA and I met back in July 2000. And as my side about us states we met on the side of a hill.
I was house sitting a horse property while the owners were away on holidays and I somehow managed to get the little jeep stuck on the side of a hill. I had to drive the jeep up a lane way which was up a hill to go feed the horses over the back paddock, but it had been raining for the past few days and the hill was very slippery. So i tried to drive up the hill and about half way up i started sliding sideways and ended up stuck on the fence.
I called my sister and her friend to come out and give me a hand to get the stupid jeep of the fence. They said now problems and said meet them in town and they will come out and give me a hand.
On the way back out to the farm they said we have to make a detour and pick up a friend that can help us. This friend happened to be YKISTA. And you know what they set up that YKISTA had to catch a lift with me. I was like thanks guys I have no idea who this guys is and you are making him get in my car.
Well long story short it took 3 days to get the jeep off the fence cos it was still raining and the jeep was stuck on the fence, and YKISTA was with me the whole 3 days. We haven't been apart since.
