Long story short:
Got pregnant at 18 despite a ton of bc (pill, condom, spermicide, and diaphragm every single time). m/c'd.
I've been infertile since I was 19, hit by a car, bad times.
Been ttc as much as we can for a year. I saw "as much as we can" because we couldn't start IVF right away.
Since November:
First cycle had four faint positives early on (the retrieval was on my 28th birthday!!, and one day after his 26th birthday), then the beta came back negative. Doctor said chemical pregnancy, and that's a nicer way to say miscarriage. So it's considered to be a loss of two more. Got this news three days before Christmas. Sad times.
Second cycle nothing. Not even close. Somehow I knew early on nothing would come of it.
So two frozen embies from cycle #1 and seven more from cycle #2. Decided on a frozen transfer.
Natural cycle FET, low-dose hCG trigger on the 9th, transfer of two on the 16th. The first two thawed made it!
On the 21st I started getting positive tests, that soon after. A total of nine positives, no negatives. Pictures and stuff are here.
The beta is tomorrow. I'm not declaring anything to be official until the doctor says so. But I'm going crazy with waiting. It'll be another 24 hours before I know.
