Hi All,
I haven't spent much time on TB in years, but the place I was at recently kinda collapsed, so I hope you'll have me back.
I'm pregnant again (pregnancy #7), and this is always the hardest part for me because I miscarry like it's my job. I do have one LC (almost 3), conceived after IVF #3, but even she had a vanishing twin. So six losses, all but one of which followed IVF. Counting all my FETs I've done IVF 12 times now, and it would just be freaking fantastic if we could be done now, please! Infertility treatment is not a fun hobby, but it's been my lyfe for years.
So, I'm 6+6 with TWO heartbeats found on Monday, along with a small SCH that freaked me out but didn't worry my doctor. The anxiety always ramps up before an u/s, so I expect this weekend to be bad in advance of a repeat scan 3/12. Based on my history, I fully expect to lose one of these beans before birth, but I'm really hoping we get to keep at least one.
In the rest of my life I'm a research geek who loves vegetarian/vegan cooking, gardening, and hiking. Looking forward to getting to know you all!
