I can?t even believe I?m typing a BFP post!  It?s been such a long and hard road to get here, it almost seems unreal.  Here is my story.

 

I started TTC in Sept 2005.  I conceived the following year, only have to have a m/c at 7 wks.  I conceived again in late 2006, only have to another m/c.  In January 2007, I found this board and was encouraged to see a RE.  Initial testing came back normal and I got pg in June 2007, resulting in another m/c.  I had a lap done in December 2007, which confirmed a dx of endo.  I got pg again in June 2008; my betas were doubling nicely and I was convinced it would be a healthy pregnancy.  At my 7 wk u/s, there was no sac or HB.  This was my 4th m/c and I was devastated.

 

Early this year, I conceived again.  We saw a HB at 7wks but it was slow.  By 8 wks, it was gone.  At this point, I was seriously losing my shiit and was considering throwing in the towel.  I just didn?t know if I could go through any more treatments and suffer through more losses.  My RE was convinced IVF w/ PGD would give us a good chance of a healthy pregnancy.  We decided to take a few months off and were going to start IVF in July/August this year.

 

In April this year, I had to get a d&c.  It was my 2nd d&c in six months; I was heartbroken.  Don?t ask me how but it turns out I got a BFP on my d&c cycle.  I had my 8 wk u/s last week and all is looking good!  The HB is strong and my RE is very hopeful; I?ve never gotten this far in a pregnancy!!!  My DH and I remain cautious and I?m sure the worry will never go away for us but for now, we?re excited and hopeful.

 

After almost 4 yrs of TTC, six heartbreaking losses and staring down the barrel of my first IVF, we finally did it!

 

Ladies, after my 2nd m/c, a very good friend of mine told me about this board.  I found wonderful women here, who gave great support and willingly shared their knowledge.  No RE in the world could have given me the support and knowledge I got here.  I could have never made it this far without you; you are an incredible group of women!

    Seriously, right???  I didn't ovulate on my last d&c and certainly didn't think I would this time around.  Go figure!
