Hi Ladies...can I join? I'm new here on the bump. As part of my introduction, I MUST share this MIRACLE with you all. On Oct 23rd I had an appt with my RE to discuss "next steps." The month prior I had an FET that did not take...2 months prior to that I had an FET that did take, yet ended. Anyhow...back to my story. Ironically...my RE brought it to my attention that the day I was there (oct 23) was ALSO the same day when I FIRST came to see him a year prior to begin my relationship with the clinic...WOW. But that's not it!! The synchronicity continues! The next steps I went to see him about was to do an IUI with donor sperm. My DH at the time when he first had his sperm analysis done came out low in all areas...low enough that it was recommended to go straight to IVF, plus ICSI. I ovulate regularly and have regular 28 day cycles...we talked and we decided together that this has been a long taxing (over a year journey)...and the goal is to have a baby so my DH was not thrilled but "ok" with the donor sperm decision. So the RE told me that I could do a natural cycle, told me how to order the sperm...gave me some diagnostic texts blood draw forms , (wanted to do my levels again FSH, AMH and CMV status neg/pos for donor matching) ...and then he asked me when my period was scheduled to come...I told him Wednesday the 29th of Oct (remember I'm very regular and always have 28-day cycles and I use an app on my phone that correlates with my cycle) anyhow...he told me to call when it came and come back for a baseline US and all. Wednesday came...no AF...Thursday came...no AF...Friday morning came...no AF...but ladies...I took a test and I'm pregnant naturally!! 1 year of trying...strategically TTC on ovulation days...and what the docs said COULD NOT happen AFTER one fresh IVF and 2 FET's...multiple hysterscopies etc AND was days away from ordering donor sperm for an IUI that would have taken place 14 days after my period...and we are pregnant naturally!! Took my beta hcg later on the morning of the 31st after racing to their office...I "guesstimate" since on my calendar I ovulated on the 15th that...implantation occurred approx 7 days later?? Which is approx the 22nd...so perhaps from the 31st I was 9-10 days past ovulation. My beta was 232. My RE called and was amazed. I did next beta on Tues. (4 days later) and it was 1856. My DH and I are ecstatic...there are no words really to describe these circumstances and synchronicity of this other than "miraculous." It is my wish that everyone reading this remains focused and see it happening! God has the final say...always believing in his miracles!! Today I'm 5 weeks and 4 days with a July 8th due date...feeling blessed!

Sorry for the late check-in Ladies - we've had non-stop guests since Friday

@Aimothy‌ - I'm so sorry for your loss

AFM: doing ok other than the aches and pains - which I assume are all normal.  My next appt is not until Monday so just normal stuff this week.  We are finally getting the nursery ready.  The guest bed is getting moved out this week and then painting will start next week.  

QOTW: Wine, sushi and eggs over easy.... wait - that was 3 things
