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!
TTC #1 w/ endo since Sept 2005. After many losses, a lap, tons of meds and tons of testing and, one failed IVF cycle, we were blown away with a surprise, sticky BFP...it's a girl!!!

Marisa!! OMG! I'm *so* thrilled for you! Congratulations!!
I can't tell you how much hope this gives me. After 4 losses, I feel so hopeless sometimes. This helps me know that it will happen when the time is right. ((hugs))
Seriously, right??? I didn't ovulate on my last d&c and certainly didn't think I would this time around. Go figure!
Congrats!!
After a loss at 13wks and years dealing with IF and failed treatments (3 failed IUI and 1 failed IVF), we have been blessed with DS (surprise BFP) and now his little sister (2nd round of clomid and TI) on her way.
