Remember me?

in Success after IF
Hi there!

I haven't been around in ages, frankly because after I had my daughter in 2012, I thought we were done, maybe forever, and I wanted to close the painful chapter of years of TTC and IF troubles. But, I recently got my IUD removed (isn't having to get BC after IF just a kick in the pants??) and we somehow, some way got pregnant the first cycle after that. WTF? This cannot be real life. But I guess it is. Can't wait for all of those "I told you so's". *cue eye roll*

Anyway, I tested yesterday and it is screamingly positive, so here I am! Can't wait to catch up.  :)
