Pregnant after IF
Options

We are Team...

BLUE! I can't believe it!  We had the Harmony test done, and our chromosomes are completely normal, which is a huge relief. They told us it would be 2-3 weeks for results, but the nurse called today (1 week and 1 day since our test) to tell us the great news!

Husband is in a meeting so I can't share with him, and I am about to burst!  I'm now considering stopping by a bakery on the way home to bring him a blue cupcake.  Any other good ideas out there?

 


Me: 35, DH: 34, Started TTC #1 since November '11
Several Clomid/Femara rounds, then fresh IVF September '12
Fresh IVF #1: chemical pregnancy, FET #1: ectopic, methotrexate
FET #2 resulted in our amazing baby boy Levi, born on 11/3/13 at 8 lbs, 5 oz. He is our everything!
