TTC after 35

It's an IUI miracle - BFP!

Seriously.  A miracle.  It's official.  I'm pregnant.

I was holding my friend's brand new 14 day old baby girl in my arms when I got the news.

Thank you for all of your love, compassion and patience.  Seriously, you guys were the only kind words I heard from people who actually know how hard this IF thing can be and the support has meant more to me than you could possibly believe.  It's weird to feel so connected to all of my virtual friends whom I've never met.

So, cautious optimism is where I'm at right now. But I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.  You'll still hear my two-cents worth every now and again. :)
