Introducing Myself (TTC 3+ Years Story)

in 2nd Trimester

Just wanted to write a quick hello and share a little bit of our story. ?I'm currently 19 weeks pregnant after TTC for three years and three months. ?After targeted TTC for about 9 months, my husband and I began fertility testing back in 2006. ?An HSG revealed that I had a completely blocked left fallopian tube. ?I had laproscopic surgery that fall, during which the doctor discovered that I had some endometriosis that had caught the left tube and pulled it downward, adhering it to my intestines. ?He didn't think he could save the tube without risking injury to my intestines, so he removed it.

?After the surgery, we underwent 5 medicated cycles, with no success. ?I also hated what all the hormones were doing to me, emotionally and physically, so we never tried another medicated cycle after April of 2007. ?

We were always open to adoption, and we finally decided it was time to start building our family that way. ?I made plans to quit my high-stress job (my husband and I are both lawyers), and we prepared for me to be a homemaker and expectant adoptive mom. ?My husband kept saying, though, that he wasn't so sure that I wouldn't get pregnant once I quit work. ?We decided we'd also pray a special Novena that I would get pregnant. ?

Needless to say, we were surprised and beyond thrilled to find out back in January that I'm pregnant. ?It truly feels like a miracle, and it's certainly an answer to prayer. ?We found out last Monday that we're having a little boy.?

Wishing all of you all the best during your pregnancies!?
