I don't want to jinx myself by doing an intro here too soon, but maybe it'll bring me some luck!
DH and I have been on a break since march preparing for IVF #3. We've been trying the old fashioned way every month but after 3.5 years I basically thought our odds were similair to winning the lottery.
BUT on Wednesday I started spotting and then stopped with no sign of AF. And my boobs have felt like rocks and they never hurt before AF. So, feeling like a gullible moron the whole time, I bought a test and it turned positive right before my eyes in seconds. It was blue dye so I freaked and made DH get some Frers, and the 2nd line came up on those right away!
I am so beyond excited to be joining all the familiar faces here. All prayers for strong doubling betas are welcomed!

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
