This board was an incredible resource three years ago when we were trying and throughout my wife's pregnancy with our son Luke. You are certainly the friendlist board out there and I loved every second of it!
Conceiving our second has...a roller coast...and I just had to step away and do as little talking about it as possible, so I disappeared about a year ago.
This morning, I'm tearfully sharing that we got our BFP. It seems a little unfair of me to re-join with only the happy news knowing how much of a struggle many have and what we've experienced, but if I know you all, you'll welcome me with open arms at this point in the journey.
Happy to see many old names on here and grateful to introduce myself to the rest. M and I have been married for 4 years and got our marriage legally recognized last year when it became legal in Minnesota. I'm a minister, she's a teacher.
Both of our kids were conceived with the same wonderful known donor and M is carrying again.
Congrats! I was just thinking about you the other day and I'm thrilled to see you back here and to hear that you are expecting again. Lots of new (and wonderful) faces here but a few oldsters like myself too. And yeah, I'm gonna need to see some update pics of Luke...
