Infertility Veterans

I feel like I can't catch a break!

Hi Ladies... I haven't posted on here too much... Both DH and I have been struggling with severe IF for 7 years.  We were finally successful after IVF/ICSI with donor sperm and we're so very happy, however I feel like I can't catch a break.

Although our baby is doing well it has been found that he has two heart defects and he may struggle with heart problems throughout his life.  Tomorrow I go for yet another ultrasound to try to find out the extent of the heart defect... I'm feeling defeated. 

Yes, I'm thrilled and overjoyed to be a mom soon, I just wish I didn't have to deal with this too!  

Me: 36 (Endo) DH: 39 (Azoo)
5 DIUI - BFN
IVF#1 - BFP - AJ 7/12
FET#1 - BFP Due 7/24/14
