Hello ladies!
After close to 3 years of TTC, and many assisted cycles I am
pregnant! We found out a week ago, and
after 3 strong betas, I feel comfortable enough to intro over here on this board. Honestly, I'm still not entirely used to the idea that I am pregnant, but I'm getting there. We have become so conditioned throughout this process to expect the worst with IF, that it's a little challenging to comfortably accept the good news, I know I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.
I am very happy to be here, though a little nervous
to move over from my TTC >35 home base. That has been my home for a long time! Some of you may recognize me from my occasional
accidental posts on this board when I have been lurking and have forgotten to
move back over before posting. Incredibly, I have done that on more than one occasion ![]()
I am going back on Monday for another beta and hopefully an ultra sound will be soon after. The nurse told me once the number hits 1500 then they would schedule the U/S. I don?t know my EDD yet, but we had our ER on 11/9 and transfer on 11/12 so I am calculating that to be August 3rd.
Anyway, I look forward to being reunited with the ladies who I know from TTC>35 (those who are already here and those you will be over here in the next couple of months), and meeting all of the other ladies on this board!
Re: Introducing myself
Thank you Joi! I really appreciate it and I plan to stay here a long time
Of course you have the cutest picture of your little ones in your signature. It's a great picture and they are so sweet!

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
