Well, okay then. (BFP)

CaraHCaraH member
in TTC after 35
I apparently only get pregnant on months in between interventions!  On Sunday, we got a lovely father's day gift and learned the definition of squinter.  Yesterday (now 13dpo and with a fmu), it was no longer a squinter.  I called the RE's office the minute they opened!  My first beta and progesterone look good, so now I'm just holding my breath for tomorrow's second beta.



**loss mentioned**
We had a very similar natural cycle BFP this winter, but lost the baby at 8/9 weeks.  It was your typical early loss that indicates chromosomal abnormality, and in no way predicts future problems.  But, that's my logical brain.  My heart feels very differently.  I am startled to realize just how intensely that loss is effecting me.  My heart was literally pounding in the waiting room yesterday.  And when my REs office called and didn't leave a message, I was absolutely convinced it was bad news.  I'm hoping I'll chill out a bit once we hear that heartbeat.  I so enjoyed my first pregnancy, and I'd hate to have this one spoiled by unwarranted anxiety.

    Congrats on your BFP but I understand your anxiety.  PgAL is stressful and I really hope for a H&H 9 months.

    Congrats! FX for good betas tomorrow and continuing good news! I hate how having a loss on your record can shift some of the excitement to "expect the worst and get pleasantly surprised" but like you said, it should be no indicator of future problems. Here's hoping you have a blissfully uneventful 9 months!

    Wonderful!!!!!!!!! YAY!
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April

    Thanks, everybody.  I had the second blood draw early this morning, so now I'm just trying to stay calm until they call this afternoon.  I'm headed to the beach in a few hours, and that should help.  I appreciate the support.  I'll see you on the flip side!  (And in the grad thread, of course.)
