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 Embarrassed

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!

TTC since 3/2010. Me 41, DH-49. After 3 years, 6 IUIs and several IVFs we have finally have our beautiful baby girl, born on 11/7/13.



Re: Introducing myself

  • I'm not quite sure what all that code is at the top of my post. I copied and pasted, from word, so that is probably what it is. Sorry about that.

    Thank you Joi!  I really appreciate it and I plan to stay here a long time :)
