Returning but I dropped 180 lbs

About 1.5 years ago, I did a round of IVF. Successful BUT ended in miscarriage. I met a lot of amazing people on here and they helped me more than anything during that time.

About a week after the miscarriage, I found out my husband was on a dating website and that is when he told me he, "wants to have kids with someone naturally." I can't make this up. I was heartbroken. He thought it was totally ok and fine! 

So, after another year of counseling, him getting a narcissist diagnosis (he doesn't believe it), me getting a new puppy (LOVE HER!), me getting a new job and moving across the country...I am ready to try on my own. I am searching for donors and making an appointment with a new gynecologist soon.

I know my infertility diagnosis (endometrial polyps, endometriosis, adenomyosis) greatly decreases my chances of becoming and staying pregnant naturally...but I wanna try before my time runs out. 34 years old and don't have many good egg years left. 

So, after dropping 180 lbs of complete asshole, I am back and hoping to have a much easier journey this time. My main source of stress is gone and I haven't been this happy in years. 
Me: 34

TTC: 40 months
Me: endometrial polyps and most recently diagnosed with polypoid endometrium. Mild endometriosis. AMH 4.5. FSH 9.2. TSH 8.5 (recently started synthroid) Everything else normal.
DH: now an exDH. lol. JUST MEEEEE!
IVF #1: ER 3/11/17 (5 fertilized) ET 3/16/17 BFP (B#1-113, B#2-534, B#3-3190) MC @ 8 weeks
TTC with just donor soon!

    Wow @QsMadd! I'm very happy for you but I'm so sorry you went through that. I'm so glad that you got away from him. The pathological people are the worst kind. 
    People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

    How I feel all of the time.

    Good for you! Your post made me laugh! I like to think, if I were in your situation, I'd do the exact same thing. Keep on trucking, mama! 

    Will you jump straight to doing another IVF cycle with donor sperm?
