Ummm... so a little background first I think.
I came off BCP 9 years ago and aside from the small matter of a divorce inbetween have been trying on and off all that time until September 2006. In September we had ICSI as by then we had been diagnosed with male and female factor problems and were told that it was our only hope. We were incredibly lucky and conceived our twins - Charlotte and Thomas - with our first go and they were born in June 2007.
We stored 6 frozen embryos for a couple of years and recently we have donated them for use by other couples and that cycle will hopefully going ahead March/April time.
So anyway back to us. Since the ICSI I gave up tracking my periods. I'd done my head in for years with it and saw no need to carry on. It became clear around New Year that I hadn't had AF for a while and I tested and amazingly, incredibly, despite everything and all the odds against us it is a
. We are stunned and overjoyed and our little miracle baby will be with us Aug 26th or thereabouts. We've been for a scan today and all is well and I can finally believe it is true.
I'd like to tag on the end a very special thank you for Wobbles. She has been a great friend the last few weeks - she deciphered my pregnancy test when I couldn't, was the voice of reason when I panicked about coping, offered to hop on a train for 3 hours to babysit and has managed to keep her big trap shut for a month despite being fit to burst!
I don't know if we really belong here as we weren't technically TTC but I don't feel comfortable posting my BFP anywhere else. I hope you all understand and I don't offend any of you.
