I've been on the infertility boards for about a year. I am very cautiously sticking my toes in y'alls pool now.
I am approx 5 weeks, 4 days pregnant with a miracle baby. After being told we have about a 1% chance of conceiving naturally, a year of meds, failed IUIs, IVF, ERA biopsies and a failed FET, I shockingly got myself knocked up over the holidays without even trying. I got my first positive on a FRER on New Year's Eve.
My betas have risen nicely- I just had my third today, which came in at 8,755. I will have one more beta, a week from today, and then a tentative sonogram date Friday the 20th.
I hope to stick around here for all 9 months
