Wanted to say hi - previous loss warning

[meepmeeps]

I wanted to check on people and say hello!  It's wonderful to see people I remember with success 
I would love someone to read this post who needs encouragement, because IF is so hard.  And, PAIF is scary too. 
Last year was rough.  We had two donor egg miscarriages, and my last of three total d&c's was end of December. I retired from participating on boards, reading things on-line, etc. We have 3 beautiful embies in storage, and I totally planned to cont trying until we used them all (but no more), but, in the meantime, I was trying to forget about IF.  Then an amazing thing happened.
I had Femvue, was cleared to start Lupron for an embryo transfer and went in for endo scratch.  Well, I was literally undressed and on the table, when the NP doing the procedure walked in with two (+) urine tests.  We were all stunned, b/c I have the crappiest ovaries.  This was Valentine's day.  I drove home in shock, cried on the way to work the next morning, and got my beta results the next day (53,000).  I had been feeling weird, but it didn't connect.  I was a few days over 6wks KU at that time, and today, we're rolling in to our 24th week.  I got KU before I even cycled once after my last D&C.
Baby girl has passed all of her testing so far with flying colors.  We did the cell free DNA, 20 wks scan, and AFP.  Only hitch (because there has to be something) is there's some abnormality called circumvallate placenta, but looks like maybe it might be partial (I hope).  Cord insertion is normal, which I'm told is a plus.  I can find several success stories with this, but it's still some scary (IGUR, rarely placental abruption).  I totally freaked out when I was first told this about one month ago.  Had a couple of the smallest spotting episodes but went in to be checked anyway.  But, I'm trying (and doing okay) to be less scared and more happy and excited.
Thanks for reading, and I hope someone can come across this post and feel hopeful!  Congrats to everyone who is enjoying success.

Hello
It’s good that you succeed at the end and defeated infertility against many difficulties you came across. You are a true inspiration for those who are suffering from infertility issues in this world. In this world, there are many who are not willing to accept the fact that they are infertile. Especially, males after listening to this either walk away or put the blame on the woman. In this post, I don’t want to blame anyone but, we should change our status quo. If we patiently look over the infertility issue then, we will find the issue to be small. Infertility issue becomes big in the families where they are not ready to accept that they are infertile. Infertility is a disease which can affect any age, any gender, and any class – rich or poor. Infertility will tend to increase because we are consuming more and more processed food which contains a lot of chemicals. Today, each and every disease has somewhere its root cause lies in our lifestyle disorder. I found your story somewhat crazy yet very much motivating, sorry I used the word crazy. But, actually, I can myself feel the pain that you have to undergo in last years. Three D&C’s are much to scare anybody and I also know the pain of D&C. Abortion causes physical and mental pain both and that too with no gain but just pain. It’s great that you didn’t lose hope and kept on trying without seeing your pain. I wish you all the best for your future and forget all the pain that the past brought.

Your post has made me feel a lot more positive. I think the thing about being on infertility journey is that you should never lose hope. You should always keep trying. I am trying my level best to be on the track. It is hard but no one said that it will be easy. I am reading your post in 2018 but I am glad I came across it. I have started visiting this new place for my treatment. I hope things work out.

Hello. Hope you are well. Thank you or sharing your story here. This was wonderful. Miscarriages must have been so hard to deal with. I've struggled with fertility. I can't imagine finally getting pregnant and losing the child. It is just awful. I hope it never happens to me or anyone else. Wouldnt wishes it for my worst enemies too. You are a strong woman. I'm proud of how you dealt with this. Congratulations on being pregnant again. It's normal to feel these ways sometimes. Especially because of your past. Hope everything goes well for you. I'm happy for you.

Hey. This gave me tears. You have struggled so much. It must have been so hard for you. But I'm glad this had a happy ending. Or I would've stayed sad all day. You are such a strong woman to have dealt with so much. I would've given up so much earlier. I'm glad things have finally worked out for you. Congratulations on that. It's okay to be scared. Especially when you have had miscarriages in the past. But there is not much you can do here other than taking good care of yourself. But I'm glad everything looks good with the baby now. Stay hopeful.
