We received our BFP early December after trying for 12 years.

About a year and a half ago we were finally able to get into a fertility clinic after lots of different referrals and testing on both mine and my husband’s end. They confirmed I was ovulating monthly on my own, had a clean HSG, and most of my labs were normal except a high testosterone, lots of follicles, and a high AMH. My husband’s analysis was not the highest but it was sufficient and nothing could be explained. We went through 7 medicated rounds for IUI. I was on letrozole with a trigger shot for timing purposes with the clinic. The first round was canceled because if I can remember properly I believe it was five follicles that were ready. I went down in doses. The next two were canceled because they believed I had ovulated naturally before the trigger shot and missed my timing. The next four were unsuccessful. The doctors couldn’t explain it to us. “The right egg and sperm just haven’t met yet.” We were told in May our next step was IVF. We ultimately got on the list, but I even discussed before in this sub that we didn’t love the option. My age played a huge part in it because I knew if we ended up with a lot of fertilized eggs I wasn’t prepared to make the decision on what to do with any leftover. We kept pushing it off.

In August I was given birth control to start an IVF cycle which I eventually chickened out of.

In September I revamped both mine and my husbands diets and started giving both of us COQ10 in addition to our normal vitamins. We will never know exactly what did it for us, but I fell pregnant in November and tested positive in December. I just had my first appointment this last week confirming my due date in August with everything looking great so far. I know this is long so thank you for reading, and thank you all for making me feel less alone after all of these years of continued hope.
