Hi Everyone ~
I will try to keep this short... I never wanted children... Or so I thought... Until I thought the right to choose children was taken away from me... I never thought I would get married either... I am late bloomer, an independent woman... I find a good guy and get married in my 30's, then I realize how great it would be to raise a family with such a great guy.... Once we got married, we never prevented... But nothing was happening... And after 3 years, we started some fertility testing... Hubby has a low count, low motility and low morphology... RE said we would never get pregnant on our own... All of my lab work came back fine, my cycles were always 28 days, I was "normal"... We began IUI's, the first two non medicated, then next three medicated... I responded well to the meds and produced lots of follicles, but nothing

My Dr wanted to do one more round, I was not comfortable with this... I requested a scope, we all agreed... Low and behold, endometriosis, lesions, scar tissue wrapped around my left ovary and Fallopian tube, he said I never released an egg from the said... I never knew I had all of this, my periods have always been heavy and painful, but I sucked it up... How am I supposed to know when you don't have a "normal" period to compare it too? Anyways, he said I must be a very strong woman, and with fixing all of my issues, he thought we could get prego on our own in 12 months.....
Well December was 12 months exactly!! And on Dec 23, I got a BFP!! I was cramping for over a week, and I was super moody... We had really lost hope and convinced ourselves this just wasn't meant to be!!! What an amazing Christmas present! My hubby's birthday is Christmas Eve, what a gift to give to him! I am 6 weeks... We saw and heard the heartbeat on Monday, my fertility Dr wants to see me again in 2 weeks, then will release me as they say miscarriage rate drops below 5%...
Don't lose hope and never say never!!!
