Hi everyone I'm new here, soon to be FTM with my fianc. I'm 14 weeks and 3 days pregnant and according to our MaterniT21 results we're having a girl! This baby is definitely a miracle for us because of my medical history and we got pregnant on our first try! I look forward to getting to know you'll and I pray for a great outcome for everyone. It's definitely nice to know there are same sex couples like us starting a family :

We live in Seattle and used SRM for our donor egg IVF cycle
We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.
Our IUIs
with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.
Our IVFs:
IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response
IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
1st ultrasound (3/6 6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm.
***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***

Haha no I'm a first time mom and I'm glad you brought that up because I'm sure that would be confusing.

Welcome and congrats! My partner is 16 weeks and we have to wait for the anatomy scan to find out our baby's sex, so I'm super jealous that you get to know so soon.
Thanks and congrats to you both! I'm still looking forward to our later anatomy scan just to be sure it's a girl. This whole time I just had a gut feeling it was. Other than a healthy baby what are you two hoping for?
