Ladies,
I admit I've been away a while. My last post here was about my doctor who told me that absolutely nothing would work and that I should give up on having a biological baby. In fact, he convinced me despite having a DS already. So, after grieving for a while we decided on an egg donor and agreed to reserve her for May. That's why I haven't been around....I wanted to take the time to not think about trying to get pregnant. Well, on Valentine's day my dh says "you are over a week late, it's time to take a test". Reluctantly I agreed but reminded him that our doctor said we only had a 1% chance of getting pregnant with all the drugs and best doctors. To my absolute shock, the test was positive. It is an absolute miracle and total blessing from above. Of course, it's still early but just the fact that it happened at all is a gift. I want to thank you ladies for everything. ...the only thing I did differently was I took the CoQ10 that I learned about through this board. Boy, do I swear by that stuff now!!!! And hopefully, I can use our story to give others hope.
Xoxoxo
