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.

I am thankful every day for my miracle after infertility.
And thrilled to be pregnant again after FET!
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
After 22 cycles and tube removal our IVF miracle has arrived! Detailed IF and IVF info in bio.

Thank you all so much ladies! I appreciate the warm welcome over here and I hope I get to settle in for the next 9 months!
I feel like I've shared in so many of your journeys-- from way back in the day over on TTTC, and I've lurked over her for what seems like forever, and please know that so many of your stories have given me hope and strength to stay in the game all this time.
(hugs)
