Success after IF

Have to share!

So i have wanted to hold out on findung out babies sex at our 20 weeks scan, i want it to be a surprise, well hubby has been on the fence ab it, wanting to know what our baby is now! He finally came to me last nights and said we could wait for birth day to know.... I was so happy i cried!
I am sure you ladies can relate, with all we go through to get pregnant, and i am having a c section in the end, i wanted something that was thag special moment for us... We never got the pee on a suck moment, and we dont get the labor has started moment, so this is something we can have...
I cant wait for the day, when he looks at me with baby on my chest and says, "its a ..."
I am just so excited! I know waiting is not for everyone, but this time its for us! :)

Thanks for letting me share!

Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!
