Hope message for TTC

I just want some of you to know to always have hope until AF arrives due to my previous BFP. I was waiting for my period to start any day because I was experiencing a lot of cramping. And I know on the different websites It says that early pregnancy cramping is mild so I'm going to tell you a little story about that. It was the week of my period and I did alot of walking at my job so dealing with the cramps was getting difficult. I was wishing my period would come at that point because it was almost non stop pain during the day. It was so "un mild" that by the 5th day of this with no relief I called off of work and went to the emergency room. I told the doc look my period is due and I've been cramping for almost a week with no period in sight. He kind of was like ok you're a woman that's normal but let's take a look inside. As I sat in the room waiting for him to come tell me I had something wrong with me or maybe PCOS he then came in and said umm you're actually about 5 weeks pregnant. To my response was omg I have a 10 year old lol don't know why I said that now. 😅 but my point is.. trust your body... try to stay stress free .. and don't believe everything you read on the internet because those were some painful cramps and they lasted way more than 3 days. I had no nausea no bb soreness and nothing else that I noticed different except for the pain. Every woman is different...good luck to everyone

    @gab702 We don't know you, so why would we care about your story? Move to your BMB and get off this board as you obviously didn't read our rules.

    Snarky me is laughing at "don't believe everything you read on the internet" because... maybe we shouldn't believe this post either?

    @bows22 I originally thought this would be one of those cases where they had no clue when they ovulated so they think they're late but in reality are not.

    @gab702 you just... came here to tell us this? what on earth overtook you to be so thoughtless?
    History
    I am doing this on my own. Left ovary and fallopian tube removed due to cyst/necrosis just after birth. Right ovary and tube still purport to function.
    Began TTC in Aug '18 @ age 35
    5 or 6 (or 7?!) cycles using frozen donor sperm, ICI. All BFN
    Mar-Jun '19 IUIs, all BFN
    Began process of referral for RE in spring of '19, blood tests confirm low AMH (.54) but all else is good.
    May '19 HSG shows open tube, but ultrasound suggests fibroids
    MRI in June '19 confirms two large fibroids, one growing through wall of uterus
    In June '19 I move from California to Oregon, disrupting my insurance, referrals, etc. 5 months spent piecing it all back together.
    Nov. '19 attempted myomectomy (vaginal approach) failed. 2nd surgery using laparoscopic method in Jan '20 is successful.
    April '20 --> June '20, natural IUIs, all BFN.
    July? saline ultrasound and bubble test demonstrate open tube
    July '20 clomid cycle cancelled for thin lining
    Aug-Oct, 3 femara cycles, all BFN
    RE referral. While waiting to set up an appointment Nov-Jan,I continue with natural cycles and ICI, using a known donor, BFN...
    Jan '21 more bloodwork, AMH is worse (.30), FSH high albeit not catastrophic at 13.2. hysteroscopy all good. "looks cozy!" says the RE.
    Feb '21, injectables (menopur, novarel), iui, BFN (doc said the frozen donor sperm sample had the "best numbers she'd ever seen!")
    Mar '21, injectables, iui cancelled due to lack of follicles, converted to at home-insem. BFN
    May '21, first IVF round cancelled due to cyst.
    July '21 IVF: standard antagonist. 225menupur/225gonal-f/cetrotide/5000u trigger, AFC 7; 6 days of stims. 8 eggs retrieved, 7 mature, 5 fertilize, 4 made it to blast. 3 are 4AB, 1 is 4BB. PGT-A results all abnormal.
    Oct '21 somewhat improved AMH (.51) and significantly improved FSH (8.9). Maybe it's all the pills I swallow.
    Dec -21, standard antagonist. 225menupur/225gonal-f/cetrotide/5000u trigger, AFC 5; 11 days of stims. retrieval yields 5, 4M, 2 reach day-6 blast (4AB & 4BB). 1 low-level mosaic (chr. 3 deletion), 1 complex abnormal.
    Feb '22 FET (low-level mosaic): CP.
    May '22 egg retrieval, lupron flare protocol. HGH priming for 1 month before stims; md lupron 20/20u daily; menopur 225, follistim 225, 10k trigger after 8 days of stims; AFC 10; 13 retrieved; 10 mature; 8 fertilized. All frozen at 2PN for later thaw, grow, and biopsy.
    July '22 egg retrieval same protocol: 9 days of stims; AFC 8; 10 retrieved, 8 mature, 4 fertilized and frozen.
    Sept '22 ER same protocol: AFC 10; 12 retrieved, 11 mature, 11 fertilized.
    From the 3 retrievals, 7 survived to day 5-6 blastocyst, from which I have 2 normal embryos!
    Jan 20, Fully medicated FET, baby aspirin, dexamethasone, acupuncture, and as much woo as I can stand (which isn't very much). BFN.
    July 23, Natural FET + baby aspirin. BFN.

    I mean… congratulations I guess? What were you wanting here? A round of applause? You’ve never been a member of our board, yet you come on here and announce your pregnancy.
