DH & I were TTC for about 5 months earlier this year, but had called it quits because we were aiming for a spring/summer baby. I am still BFing, and was having serious LPD issues that I couldn't correct with Rx progesterone--had two chemicals over that time. I had decided it just wasn't going to happen with my little guy BFing at his usual pace, and figured we'd try again when he was 2+ and hopefully had cut back more on his night nursing. I have been charting only CM just to keep an eye on how bad the LPD was. I figured I'd gradually gain days in my LP as he slowed down his nursing. My LP has been 5 days like clockwork the last two cycles. This cycle, we had sex twice in 3 weeks, and one time was the day before I ovulated. I knew I was in the fertile period, but I figured, "what the heck--I can't support a pregnancy anyway, we don't need protection!" Then 5 DPO came and went......I figured I must have guessed my O-date wrong (not temping), then I started having nightsweats and insomnia. When Day 8 came and still no spotting, I took a pregnancy test and saw what MIGHT be a super-faint, detectable-only-to-pee-stick-obsessed-eyes line. I made an appt with the PCP to get a blood test run to check my progesterone this coming Monday, and I started on progesterone the day I saw the possible-line (hadn't been doing it since we stopped trying). Well, now the possible line is an actual line. I am so excited, even though we weren't planning this one! I am telling the internet since I'm waiting to tell DH till after the blood test and I make sure the pregnancy isn't doomed.

You know what I think did it? I had just ordered sea pearls to try instead of tampons thinking I had several more months of AF to deal with before I'd possibly be pregnant again! You know, that or the two 18-hr car rides over Christmas during which he didn't nurse.... In any case, Yah! I am so excited! Thanks for listening!
