hi everybody
i'm currently 26 wks pg with my second, sue pm'd me and it's inspired me to post here, although i'm not cycling- hope that's ok...
it was a real long-shot us getting pg again, i have high fsh and have responded very poorly to stims, but thankfully i'm one of the women who respond to DHEA pre-stims... my 1st IVF was cancelled due to poor response, 2nd IVF was recommended to cancel b/c i only made 2 follies on max dose stims- but i refused, went to ER, and got PG........but then m/c at 12 wks, so then 3rd IVF with DHEA before hand- got 9 follies, 4 embies, and 1 beautiful boy who turns 2 years old today
so we did an FET last fall, and like many of you- i didn't feel that stressed, i felt excited, was pretty hopeful but cautiously optimistic- telling myself 'it'd be ok if it didn't work b/c of DS'... well it was chemical and i was totally devastated..... SOOOO we decided to cycle again, i went back on DHEA and was on it for about 1 month and got naturally pregnant... quite shocking.. DH and i have been suspicious much of the pregnancy that 'something' would go wrong, cuz a natural pregnancy was just too much of a miracle for our case (we have a MF also)..... but here we are..
i often feel compelled to share with other IVF women my story cause we were recommneded to 'give up' so many times, go DE or adoption, and i'm a couple months shy of 39 yrs, so it really is crazy... i don't ever want to sound like it's all 'rainbows and butterflies' to other women struggling for their miracle, but i do like to share what's happened for us, both with DS and this pregnancy, ... i feel like my son's 'theme name' is MIRACLE, and this baby's 'theme name' is MYSTERY.. lol... but actually we're naming my belly baby "Delaney Grace".... it's a girl
i'm pretty blessed and would love to follow your journey's and cheer you on.. sounds like summer's going to be busy with stims on here and some FET's .. LYD- when's your beta? hopinginnc- so nice to see you here, i'm imagining your heart is quite full of emotion after your loss..... i hope your hysteroscopy went well.. sharishu, i'm sorry for your loss too.... i've heard several natural pregnancy miracles after IVF and they often don't end well.. i'm sorry yours didn't.
deftonesmo- congrats!! hi to dogsrule, brit, kerpuppies, and katie also.
as i write right now, my son naps and i feel my baby moving in my belly. i feel pretty blessed.. that being said i still often worry 'somethings wrong' or 'will be wrong'.... but i've made it this far, so fingers crossed
This next one WILL be it for you! You've been waiting too long and your positve attitude is infectious! I have no idea how this little (big) guy got to be 7 months already?? But its true. I may be crazy to be getting back on this crazy roller coaster but now I'm 41 and feeling like its now or never. Thanks for "stalking" me, hee hee, isnt it odd to say that?
