Hi May Mamas:
My husband and I have a 20 month old daughter who was conceived via fertility treatments (IUI with injectables.) This year, we decided we were ready to start trying for #2 so we went back in and did back to back IUIs in June and July that were both negative. Our doctor recommended that we move on to IVF, and I decided I needed a break until the first of the year to try to get healthier and just not worry about things. We planned to move full steam ahead with IVF in January.
You know how when you deal with infertility you absolutely hate those people who go "Just Relax!!!", "Go on vacation!!!", "Get drunk at a wedding!!!"
Yeah...I always hated those people too but dang if we might not have to name this baby Tybee because I AM PREGNANT.
Not only that, I JUST found out. I missed a period, took a test, and it was negative. I have a history of PCOS and irregular cycles so this was really nothing new. I didn't think much of it but last week I started feeling weird and BOOM. I went in for a blood test on Friday and my HCG is 83,000 (yikes) so I'm anywhere from 7-12 weeks pregnant. I go in for an ultrasound on Thursday to confirm everything and see just how far along I am. I told my husband we were this close to me being that lady that gives birth in the bathroom at work.
Anyway, nice to meet everyone. I was a pretty active poster on January 2013 and February 2013 (my daughter was due at the very end of January that year.) Any alums from that board on here?
I'm super nervous about Thursday and I'm just praying everything is okay. Luckily, I was trying to get healthy so I've been eating well and taking vitamins (and I don't smoke or drink anyway.) So hopefully, little baby is just growing away in there!
Melanie
