Pregnant after IF

Intro (TW: losses / living child mentioned)

Hi ladies! Figured I'd wander over here from the IF boards...I've been
too nervous to do it until today when we had an u/s. My quick background
is that my hubby and I have been married for 12 years and have been TTC
for 11 of the 12.
**TW** Through this process, we've had eight losses, multiple scopes and
eleven IVF cycles. From those, we do have a 2 1/2 year old son who is my
world.
We
just had our fourth IVF cycle this year and it was a success! I'm
officially 6w3d with a PGS-tested girl (i think...there was a whole
debacle about my embryos getting mislabeled in the move between clinics
so not really certain which embryo I have) who had a heartbeat on
ultrasound
today!
Look forward to this journey with you girls!

Re: Intro (TW: losses / living child mentioned)
Little girls are awesome, btw, if that's what your little bean turns out to be! My sister has two and I have my little miracle girl. We are a "girl" family!
I honestly don't think my dad would know what to do with a boy....he's gotten so used to girls (he had my sister and me -- and now 3 granddaughters).
I hope everything goes smoothly for you from here on out and you can enjoy things! Getting over the hurdle of the first ultrasound is so huge, I think. I was so convinced the doctor would see nothing (or something bad) when I went in for my first one after the FET and bfp. You get so used to bad news at a certain point...
