Infertility

I know this is bizarre, but BFP.

This is absolutely crazy, but we've had another natural cycle BFP.  For those who don't know my story, we've been TTC for four years.  I have DOR, and I turned 40 in May.  We went through multiple IUIs and IVFs with no success whatsoever except for a blink-and-you-missed-it chemical pregnancy from IVF #1.  We gave up treatments and started planning for adoption.  Then, inexplicably, we got pregnant naturally in February, only to miscarry in March.  We started planning for adoption again.

Well, the weekend before last, I took a test, and found out we're pregnant again.  I've had three betas, all of which were great, but I'm trying not to put too much stock in that, since they were great last time too.  But we're very exciting and trying to be hopeful that this one will work out.

Oh, and I did want to mention that I've been doing acupuncture for the last two years.  I have no idea whether that has anything to do with the fact that I can apparently now at least get pregnant (whether I can stay pregnant, of course, remains to be seen).  But it's the only thing I can think of.

In my last BFP post, I told you ladies that you are absolutely the best, and it's still true.  I am hoping and praying that each and every one of you find your way to parenthood soon!
