TW - RPL mentioned

Hello, I am Mambo. I was pretty active here in 2022 and early 2023 and then life happened in a big way but I am back.

Anyway, I am Mambo I am 32 years old, DH is 34 almost 35. We have three humans who are 12, 10, and 7. We decided in 2022 we wanted a fourth but H had had a vasectomy in 2019 because human #3 was born at 28 weeks and I had a significant history of miscarriages. Due to extensive loss history we opted to do IVF. We attempted IVF and had 2 embryos and one failed transfer, we have one embryo on ice. We decided to have H's vasectomy reversed in late 2022 to give us more options. The vasectomy reversal was deemed "successful," motility was iffy. In June 2023, DH was diagnosed with a brain tumor putting a hold on TTC indefinitely. H had major brain surgery in August 2023 and is fine. Essentially we've been NTNP since then because basically, I thought we couldn't get pregnant again. TW in Spoiler

On 1/3/2025 we got a surprise BFP with due date expected 9/13, this surprise ended in CP which is very par for the course for me with RPL.

H and I discussed and we are now in a place where we have agreed to actually "try" again. So, I'm back. I have my whole history in my signature if you wanna read it.

TLDR: I'm here to try to have #4 after a whole long time and a lot of crazy stuff happening. I like to read and I spend too much time on the interwebz.
