I finally get to post it here!!!! We've been TTC since 2004. We adopted our little boy in Dec of 06 and were still actively trying to conceive. I have endo and scar tissue surrounding my right tube and ovary so only my left side is functioning. My CM proved to be a hostile environment for sperm. I had 7 IUIs that all failed. The Drs told me that IVF was my only option. We just proved them wrong tonight when I got my very first BFP!! I am in complete shock and cannot stop crying!!
I never believed this would actually happen for us, so now I don't know what the next step is. Do I go to my regular Dr for tests or do I need to get an OB/GYN? Or since I have know fertility/hormone issues, should I contact my RE even though this wasn't a medicated cycle?
Re: OMG...After 7 yrs...BFP!!!!!
Wow, that is wonderful! Congratulations
As far as which dr to call, I'd call either your OB/GYN or your RE (even though, as you said, this was not a medicated cycle), and either of them should tell you what to do next.
Congrats and welcome!
Btw - your little boy is adorable!

Our twin boys arrived at 36w5d due to IUGR and a growth discordance
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
He saw all of the excitement last night (my parents came over and my mom cried when she saw the test) and he joined in. We told him there's a baby in mommy's tummy and he kissed my stomach. Before we went to bed he said, "Wait, kiss the baby." and pointed to HIS stomach. He's very silly. Prayerfully we will have 8-9 months to prepare him
Thanks so much for the congrats ladies!!! I still can't believe it even though I just took a digital this morning and it says pregnant!
