Jan,

Congratulations! That is so great! I have a similar story. It took me 4-1/2 years to conceive #1 via IVF. We started ttc#2 when ds was 1 year old. I got pg via FET but miscarried at 8 weeks. After several more failed IVFs, we took a break and went to two other clinics for a second and third opinion, only to find out a week later that I was pg, conceived naturally! I never thought this was possible!

Of course, I am now terrified about all of the things that can go wrong, and I'm debating about what types of testing to do since I am of advanced maternal age (what an awful phrase), but I'm trying to be happy as well.

Congrats again! What is your EDD?

momofoneson · 06-05-2006, 12:47 PM

Thanks, Guys (btw, there's something spooky going on with the weekly update thread),

LouHoo, My EDD is 2/6/07 - I can't believe it - DS will be 4 1/2! And my DSD's will be almost 15 and 12! Yikes! I know what you mean about the testing. I had an amnio with DS because I was 35, and now I'm scared to death, in that I'm almost 39. It was the longest weeks of my life, waiting for those results. I guess we just take it a day at a time, because as much as we try to think about what we would do in a certain situation, we won't know until (if) we are there. I am going to try and enjoy every millisecond of this

Take care, everyone, and we'll be speaking soon! Yipppeeee!!

BTW, beta came back pos. today as well -I'll go back Wed. They didn't tell me what it was, but I'll know in a couple of days.

LouHoo · 06-05-2006, 01:01 PM

That's great on the beta! I know we were in total shock when we got a positive HPT, and I called my OB the next morning begging for a beta. When he called with the results, he just said my numbers were great and that I was definitely pg, but he didn't tell me the number. When I went in for my first appointment, he told me that my beta was over 24,000! Woo hoo! I think I was around week 5 or 6 then. I've already had a u/s and saw the h/b, and I'm going in again Wednesday to make sure everything still looks OK.

When you go back, is it for another beta, or for an u/s?

Congrats again!

momofoneson · 06-05-2006, 01:09 PM

L.H.,
I'll go back for another beta on Wed. I'm only 4w6d today, so we just want to make sure they're doubling. I hope to see a h/b before we leave on holidays on the 23rd - that would be one less worry.

Good luck on Wed., I'm sure you will still be getting along well, seeing the h/b is a big hurdle to get out of the way.
Take care,
Jan

Hey Jan

Can I be your preggy buddy LOL. We're the same distance (4w6d), both ttc over 3 years, and both preggers naturally after how many failed cycles. We'd actually given up after 1 ruptured ectopic in over 3 years of trying. My DD just turned 6 !!!!

I have my first u/s on the 13th to just make sure it's not in the tube.

oh and hUGE COPNGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
