Wanted to start a thread for those of us that did IVF/IUI in April/May and got their BFPs! This group has been so supportive that I wanted to start this thread so we can stay connected over our pregnancies.
Thought a few questions would help us all remember who’s who:
-What road did you take to get your BFP (ie IUI, IFV, etc)?
-When is your due date?
-Anything else you want to share?

@Drove2u I’m sure you’re nervous and excited. I haven’t had an ultrasound yet. I feel the same though!
@ultratomato what was your beta at again? Did they give you any indication that it could be twins?
@laur1212 FX for you! I just know you’ll get your BFP!
@Griffin5413 I think you might be the furthest along…. You can let us know what’s coming – ha
@vssbrm me too! I thought it might be a little too early to start a thread, so I’m glad to see others are just as excited as me
Hi @mskeenan How are you doing/feeling? I check in on the Jan/Feb success group periodically since I went thru FET with all of you. Hope you run into you on some other threads for advice!

Glad you started this thread. Im super excited and nervous all in one. We did one iui, two rounds of IVF. Three FET's within the two rounds of IVF. We did PGS testing/ ICSI with all the embryos. 1st time we transferred one, two the second time and this last time one boy embaby. Here I am at 5 weeks 2 days pregnant. They are guessing my due date is January 10th. I go for my first ultrasound tomorrow morning. Excited to continue chatting with you ladies. You've been a tremendous support!!
@ultratomato so happy to see you over here!

Have a good weekend! We went to a Phillies game last night and it's nice this morning so I might actually try to get a garden ready since it's finally stopped raining
I get to go for another ultrasound this Wednesday. I'll be almost 7 weeks by then.
**trigger warning**
when I had my DS over 5 years ago (no issues conceiving) I never got a beta so no clue if I was a slow riser then and went on to have a normal pregnancy with a healthy baby. I'm just taking it easy been skipping the gym because I have an irrational fear and know if something goes wrong I will blame that and myself!
