DH and I have struggled with infertility since our late 20s. There was no clear reason given for our infertility. We were told, "there's no reason why you shouldn't get pregnant" which I know should sound like a good thing, but it was a punch to the gut since that also meant there's no treatment either. Long story short, we ended having 2 baby boys through 2 successful IVFs. Fast forward 17months since the birth of baby #2, I had just gotten my AF back a few cycles ago after breastfeeding for 13 months. My AFs were still inconsistent, but this month I waited and waited but it just wasn't coming. On CD34, I was supposed to go out for some drinks with friends so I decided to pee on a stick (which I had bought last month because my period was a few days late then too). I fully expected to see a stark white HPT like last month, but nope. It was a blazing positive. I was floored.. how could this happen? why now? after all this time?? We were so busy and tired last month, I'm pretty sure we only BD-ed once. Don't get me wrong. I was happy and still am but it's a complicated happy. We planned our life around having 2 kids. We just got rid of everything baby related - bassinet, mama roo, bouncers, play saucers, all baby clothes smaller than 12 mo were all given away.
Anyhow, all that to say that I am here.. just over 5 weeks pregnant. Waiting for my first scan to find out if this baby is actually happening.
I'll keep updating on this thread for anyone who's interested in this journey.
