Pregnant after IF

Thought I'd wait till Monday to introduce myself but can't!!

Hello everyone!!

I post on the IF board and just got my BFP! EDD 4/4/12. I am so excited to be here and hope I can stay <: My first Beta was today and it was 508 at 13dp3dt. We put 2 embies back (1st DE IVF) <:  Second Beta on Monday and first us scheduled for August 9!

My history even though I've only been married 10 months is extensive and even though I haven't been on the IF board for more than 6 months.  Sorta not preventing for the last 10 years! I had Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma at 23 and ended up needing a autologous bone marrow transplant which unfortunately sent me into premature ovarian failure at 24. Didn't have time to freeze eggs/embryos at the time because doctor said it was me or the eggs. So I'm now 8 years cured <: and found out with the help of Donor eggs I could hopefully get pregnant and carry to term.

I work as a Cord Blood Donation Specialist and know a lot about cord blood banking if anyone ever has any questions. I collect only from mom's who donate and actually am in the room during c-sections and vaginal deliveries. I do the collection from the placenta and cord and then it is cryo-preserved and will hopefully help a patient with leukemia, lymphoma, or other blood disease get their cure.  

I have a sweet husband and crazy 2 year old black lab Sam <:

Nice to meet you all!!

  • This is a great intro.  I am so excited for your BFP and while I'm about to peel out of PAIF for SAIF, I wish you the very best with your pregnancy!!! How exciting!

    I also wish you lived near me.  We have a statewide cord blood bank but they're not currently accepting donations. :( I tried!

  • Congrats and welcome.  What a fun job!  I collected cord blood a few times as a L&D nurse.
