my crazy news.. urban 'myth' comes true for me- i'm PG

[karenvancouverisland]

thanks again everybody for such kind words. you ladies rock. i remember it being so hard to be happy for others when i wasn't there yet, but i also remember being inspired by stories like mine, so i really hope if anyone's hurting out there about where they're at with IF, that you can draw some hope from this.

i feel like i just won the lottery ...? it's still quite crazy, i've opted to wait a few extra days for my 6-7 wk u/s to confirm viability... that way i can count on seeing a heartbeat if it's there, or know clearly what it means if it isn't. we'll have it when i'm 7wks 2days along on feb 4. i think i ovulated early too- so i believe i'm actually further along than that- it's so strange not having an EXACT ER date... lol. geesh- i have to believe my BODY, not the RE"s ?? hahaha.. never could trust my body before..

Karen,
I cycled with you a couple of years ago with one of my many failed IVF cycles.
Congratulations! I too found out I was pregnant while weaning my son from BF'ing in order to do a FET.
I am 9 weeks 1 day today! Of course still so nervous and in shock!
When is your US?
I was surprised that my OB didn't want to monitor me more closely with all my losses but after my 6 week US, it was follow up in 4 weeks!!! I am going crazy!!!! Only 3 more days!

Congrats again! Great betas!!!!

Karen- I am so excited for you, what awesome news, Miracles do happen..

[karenvancouverisland]

hi hopinginnc!! i'm so happy for you, and it's so nice to be talking with you again! it's amazing to be connected over the years with many women on here. makes my heart sing yes, i bet waiting for that u/s feels like torture.. my OBGYN was nice enough to 'sneak me' into the 'recurrent loss' category here in canada, which means i get 3 early u/s 's at 6, 8, 10 weeks, then still the standard one at 20 weeks too. -wow- we both get a natural pregnancy after years of struggling, i still think it's so strange.. i really think the odds are like winning th 649... it's just crazy.

i'm already getting quite anxious. i also hate knowing that the prometrium prevents me from likely knowing if i'm losing the pg. with my recent chemical i didn't bleed until several days after stopping it.

and hi kynlee!! yes- miracles DO happen! crazy heh? how are you?

hi to everyone else- babydreamz, mellow, rosario (YES i remember you!), chris, SD.... love and hugs to you all

Karen: CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am so happy for you!! You must be over the moon. You so deserve this!!! Enjoy every minute.

Karen- I am doing good, I start my next cycle Feb6th I was so happy for you when I read this post, Miracles do happen, and things like that give me so much hope... Congrats again

[TammyS]

Aww! Karen...how wonderful!!! Soo exciting! Congratulations!!!

[karenvancouverisland]

thanks ladies!! my beta numbers rose some more...doubled in less than 94 hours (and is supposed to be at 96 or more hours).. so it's at 14606 now and i rebooked my u/s to have it earlier as i can't believe how anxious i am.. it's like i've been told i won the lottery, but the 'cheque' hasn't arrived and the mailman may go on strike (weird analogy).. so it's next thursday... it'll officially be 6wks 2days so i know there may not be a h/b seen yet..but ithink i ovulated early so i think there SHOULD be one... ugh. gotta keep myself real distracted as i'm getting so hopeful and another m/c would be so devastating..

big hugs to all of you and baby dust all around!

[Kamina]
