QOTW: GTKY... basic intro, where you on any other boards? My name is nikki, I live in Alabama. My husband went through chemo treatments for Hodgkins Lymphoma four years ago.

Hi everybody!
Weeks: 4 weeks 3 days
What Treatment (IUI, TI, IVF etc): IUI #1 We did one medicated timed cycle and then moved on to IUI with Clomid and injects.
Are You Still On Meds? If so what are you taking: Nope...just prenatals
Next/Most Recent Appt: June 23! 2 days after my birthday! Hoping for good news
Comments/Symptoms/Anxieties: We had a loss almost a year ago at 6 weeks after our 1st month trying. After that something got "off" and I stopped ovulating naturally. So of course that is in the back of my mind, but so far this one feels totally different than last time. I'll still feel better after we see that heartbeat at 6w though. We never got that far last time.
QOTW: This is our 2nd baby and we are over the moon! We have a 3.5 year old named Jack. DH is a military pilot and will be deploying in September or October and won't be back for 7 months. Unfortunately that means he will miss the birth, but Jack and I will be moving in with my parents so I'll be in good hands and be happy for the extra help. Lemonade from lemons.

So imagine my surprise when after all this time, we saw those beautiful 2 lines last Friday morning
We went to our fertility specialist this morning who wants to see us every week up until 8 weeks before we get "discharged" and see an obgyn. We saw a little amazing dot on the ultra sound. I'm still waiting on the phone call where they update me on my levels, etc.
Glad I'm not alone in this - good luck to all of you and have a happy and healthy 9 months!
Waited a long time, tried a lot of stuff, science made me a mom.
Everything went very well with my levels - I unfortunately received the call at work, and it went to voicemail, but my doctor said that my levels are perfect and all is on track !
She didn't expect to see anything yet, so this was a very welcomed surprise!
Sorry, I've been out of town. I haven't bled since last Saturday night. Thanks for asking.
