Hey, [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]! I just wanted to pop in (definitely not ttc, I’m just nosy!) and say congratulations! I am wishing you all the sticky baby dust and I can’t think of two people who deserve such a beautiful blessing more than you and your fiancée.
Sending you so much love!

love to see all this good news on here, congrats everyone on positive tests 
Update for us: we did a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) in our IVF journey on 9/5/24. We transferred one male euploid embryo and one female chaotic embryo. Today I got two faint positive pregnancy tests!! I just can’t even believe it. I go in tomorrow and [name_m]Friday[/name_m] for pregnancy blood tests to make sure my hcg is going up and confirm things.
We’ve been trying to conceive for four and a half years. I’m only 26 so we’d still have time, but it’s hard not to feel hopeless after so long of trying every single month, and after the loss of our first pregnancy. I feel so hopeful and excited!

Warmest Congratulations to you! This is amazing!
I had just been wondering if there’s anyone else yet due April-June and when I opened the thread saw that you posted this just an hour ago. It made me so happy for you Best of luck for your blood tests and hope to see you in the “expecting” thread soon!

I love to see so many BFP, congrats!!
@eloiseattheplaza Im happy to hear that, I too spent years TTC and finally conceived my son through IVF, please keep updating!
This cycle was harsh, I saw two vvvvfaint lines by 12-13 dpo, got my hopes up and period came the next day. I have 2 cycles left to try, since if I’m not pregnant by November I’ll start on the pill to prepare for a FET.

[name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I toured a birth center this week that I was considering for the future, and I absolutely loved it. I can’t wait to establish care with them!
Also… Today I’m going to set up an appt to have my IUD removed! I work at a doctor’s office and one of our sweet providers has already offered to remove it for me whenever we’re ready. It’ll probably be done in about a week and a half when she and I work together next, but I’m very nervous/excited. We’re so close to TTC! Which is amazing, but so scary

I did HPT today (CD 39) and got this…
I am hoping for the best and that it isn’t an error. The image is within 10 minutes of the test. I had a negative a few days ago so I am little skepitcal.

TTC has finally begun for us! I had my birth control removed earlier this week. I’m trying really hard to be present and appreciative of every day right now, partly because I know life is going to change once I am pregnant, but also bc anything related to TTC has felt a little surreal so far. Visiting the birth center and having my birth control removed have almost felt like they’re happening to someone else, maybe bc this is something I’ve been excited about for so long, and I’m just amazed that it’s real now? I’m not sure, but I’d really like to be able to savor these moments I’ve been dreaming of!

Goodness, when was the last time I posted in here?! I wish I could say I had baby news to share or really much of an update but I don’t. [name_f]September[/name_f] officially made 3 years of TTC for us, this time around, and that milestone feels very defeating. Health-wise, I’ve been doing great and have even managed to lose around 18 total pounds this year so far (one thing my previous doctor told me would really help) so it’s especially mind boggling that it still hasn’t happened yet 
It’s looking likely that I may seek out a fertility specialist but that seems especially daunting not to mention expensive. [name_f]My[/name_f] previous provider was both an ob and a general practitioner, so it used to be “easy” to figure out next steps. Now I’m completely lost on the who, how and where 
I’m hopeful we can spontaneously conceive again and carry to term but I’m over 30 this time around and that apparently can make it harder.
Ugh.
Still…it made me so happy to drop back in and see so many positives!! Congratulations to each one of you 
hoping for healthy pregnancies and babies for all!

@namergirl3 I am so sorry that this TTC journey is turning out to be just as complicated as the last one. I think of you often and really hope from the bottom of my heart that you get your positive soon!!
