*bfp mentioned*
Some of you may remember that DH and I were doing an IUI cycle while consulting other RE's for a second opinion after our IVF was canceled due to poor response. I didn't think there was a snowball's chance in hell of it working, but it did. We've had a bit of a rocky start (threatened miscarriage on NYE) and we are far from out of the woods, but I am very cautiously moving over to PAIF while we see what the future holds for this pregnancy. Thanks to all of you for sharing your experience and kindness. I will be watching anxiously for your BFPs!
