I guess it's time to intro!

in Pregnant after IF
Hello ladies! I am joining you from the 3T board! I received my BFP a few weeks ago but wanted to wait to intro until after my first ultrasound. Well I had my first ultrasound Friday (right at 6 weeks) and we are expecting Twins! We are so so so excited! We saw two very strong heartbeats and it brought DH and I to tears immediately. The journey was worth it in that moment. We are still cautiously celebrating since we are still so early on, but I'm slowly starting to relax my IF brain little by little.

I look forward to "talking" to all of you ladies over the next 8 months or so!

    Hi Ladies, I'm new here. 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, my 6 week ultrasound is on Wednesday with a July 8th due date...feeling blessed!

    @Chastity08 - Welcome & congratulations on your twins.  IF brain is a tricky thing, but it usually diminishes over time.   :)

    @theblessingofababy - Congrats on your surprise BFP!  If you'd like to join this community, you might want to start a new thread and make your own intro.  Or, lurk around the posts if that makes you more comfortable.
