  How far along? - 5 Weeks 2 Days
  
  FTM /STM +? - First baby!
  
  Diagnosis if you had been? - PCOS
  
  Anything else you’d like to share? - I’m hopeful anyone else in this category also feels comfortable sharing on this thread. I know there is a lot of pain after trying for so long, and when getting the diagnosis… but finally seeing those two lines makes everything we went through worth it for me.
  
  GTKY- was there a special item / mantra / thing you did during your IF journey you plan to share with the new baby? - 1. When we were TTC, we took a big vacation and took a LOT of videos since my spouse wanted to have some messages for our future kid. 2. after a several months of TTC and OPKs with no success, I took a second trip with a friend to Disney and bought some onesies knowing they would be used one day.

  How far along? 6 weeks! 

  
  

  FTM /STM +? Third time mom- secondary infertility due to damage from my first child’s birth. 

  
  

  Diagnosis if you had been? Repeat pregnancy loss, lupus anticoagulant antibodies, left tube occlusion. 
  
  Anything else you’d like to share? Given our history of loss I always feel like it’s not real until I hold my baby. I hate feeling this way, I lose a lot of the joy from pregnancy to fear. 

  
  

  GTKY- was there a special item / mantra / thing you did during your IF journey you plan to share with the new baby?  We have a willow tree family- we added an angel holding a baby for our recent loss. I’m looking forward to adding a new child to the display. 

  I always try to repeat “right now I am pregnant and there is joy in that.”

  @goldie_coop we are big into Disney too 😀 we took our honeymoon there. Absolutely go to Disney when they are little little- it’s SO worth it. They won’t remember it. But you will 🥰

  How far along? 4 weeks, 4 days
  
  FTM/STM + First baby!
  
  Diagnosis: age-related DOR, 2 MC (2016, 2022), 1 IVF cycle that was unsuccessful
  
  Anything to share: I am *shook*. We just learned we're pregnant again on the heels of an unsuccessful round of IVF. I had given up on natural pregnancy and was just about to get a loan for donor eggs. I feel the same way that I won't believe it until I have a baby in my arms
  
  GTYK: no special anything. Just lots of supplements
  
  Really feeling hopeful!

  @charmedlifex3 Hello to a fellow Disney-lover! I would absolutely love to take our little one to Disney too one day! :) I’m glad to hear you have taken yours! Also, thank you for starting this thread and sharing your story. Good to remember your mantra!
  
  @hotshow Congratulations! Love the hopeful feeling. I relate that it’s hard to believe, and yet still hopeful.

  Amy here! First pregnancy- I’m in week 10 which is relieving!
  Our diagnosis was unexplained infertility after 7 years of trying. We attempted IUI and am pregnant (Praise God!) from our first embryo transfer with IVF.
  
  What got me through infertility was continually relying on Jesus with prayer and choosing to be thankful for even the hard situation we were in. Crazy how much my mindset shifted out of darkness/depression when I started fixing my heart to praise instead of grumble. (Definitely easier said than done tho..) :)
