Success after IF

Peeking in over here......

Hi ladies!!

I just wanted to peek in over here. It looks like after 42 cycles of trying, 1 M/C, 1 CP, two failed IUI's, breaks for cysts etc........ we somehow managed to get PG on our own this cycle! I have PCOS and have major Ovulation issues, and never in a million years thought we'd  have this happen on our own.

I honestly am having a hard time believing it and am petrified to be hopeful or excited. I feel like since I had a m/c in the past, I don't know how to do this....how to proceed in a positive manner without spending every second worrying it will all end.  I believe things are much better this time around (on my bfp I had brown spotting that started before I got my BFP and lasted until the day I m/c'd and I've had none of that, just a little pink spotting two days ago). I'm having lovely growing pains, nausea has actually started already and I'm pooped and ready for bed at 6 pm so I'm taking those all as good signs!

Anyhow-- I just wanted to pop in here and say Hi and see if there's room for an old schooler round here?

  • Yay! I'm so happy to see you over here. :)

    The feelings you are having are normal, IF will do that to you. It starts getting better after the first u/s. As hard as it is, you just have to be positive and take it day by day. It sounds like things are off to a good start.

    Congrats and try to hang in there. :)

  • EEEK!!!  I'm so beyond excited for you!  Congrats, honey, and many many wishes for a happy and healthy 9 months.

    Oh, and fwiw, this pregnany was "on our own" too.  Very surreal, and I actually struggled with mixed emotions (I didn't want to hear the comments that I knew would come from those family/friends who knew).  But still so worth it :) 

  • YAY!!!!!! I love having you over here!! congrats and welcome.
    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!
