Hi ladies,
Some of you I recognize, others I dont. I just wanted to be a little inspiration for those of you struggling with IF. I got a BFP earlier this month without the help of an RE. Yesterday, I saw the heartbeat on the u/s. Of course, I am still not out of the woods yet.
Background on me: I have a 4 year old, was Dx with secondary IF when he was 2 after a year of trying with one m/c. Went to RE for about 1 1/2 years, a bunch of IUIs and 2 IVFs. One etopic pregnancy and one CP. In May I had my last RE session. In August, we conceived naturally.
I just wanted to share my story since I know it can be quite frustrating for those of you who think you are at the end of your plan. I did.
Good luck to you all!
