Pregnant after IF

Excited to join you- an intro

Hi ladies,

I'm super excited to (hesitantly, because I'm scared) join you here on PAIF.  Yesterday I had a positive beta of 203, and we're so overjoyed.  After a very long three year journey, with male and female issues, to get here, we're finally pregnant!

Looking forward to reconnecting (I remember may of you from the IF board) and getting to know everyone better.  

Did you all feel is total disbelief when you got your positive beta?  My repeat beta isn't until next Thursday and ultrasound will be Tuesday 4/8.

IVF #1 Oct 2013- cancelled 
IVF #2 Mar 2014- success.... baby girl born 11/28/14
FET #1 Mar 2016- baby boy due 12/16/16

    Yay! Another Shamrock sister! Glad to see you here!

    *edit -- forgot to answer you question*

    I POAS the night before so I knew before the beta, but when I saw the positive pregnancy test I was in shock. I carried it around with my for days (even after my beta) because I couldn't believe it. I'm still in shock.

    Congratulations and welcome! I was in complete shock and didn't believe I was pregnant.  It is finally starting to hit me that I'm pregnant, even though I've been showing for about 7 weeks now.  After the first trimester, and subsequent tests and ultrasounds I feel a lot more relieved.  Knowing that the baby is healthy and developing as expected is a big relief and has allowed me to enjoy actually being pregnant.

    This is a very supportive board, so welcome again!

    Welcome and huge congrats!!! I'm just a couple of weeks from delivering - I see the kicks and rolls, my whole belly moves, and I'm so huge I can hardly breathe - but it still feels surreal. :) It's one of those things - when you have so many BFNs for so many years, you start to think you'll never get your BFP - but you have!! Revel in it!
