Hi guys! I've been lurking but I have finally worked up the courage to say hi! I'm Blueberries. I'm 33, I have 3 living children, and I am a scientist. A few weeks ago I was pretty surprised to find out that I am pregnant! I had a long journey with primary and secondary infertility. In short: 2 first trimester miscarriages, boy/girl twins born too early to survive due to PPROM, a daughter born June 2013, boy/girl twins born April 2015 (6 IUIs, 4 fresh IVFs, 3 FETs).
My husband and I agreed we were 100% done with fertility treatment but we also had a pretty casual attitude towards BC and we figured if at some point we managed to somehow conceive spontaneously, we'd go with the flow. That's apparently what happened! Hard to believe but I guess a spontaneous pregnancy after lots of fertility treatment is not as unusual as you'd think. I had my first ultrasound on Tuesday at 7w2d and we saw a heartbeat. I am still sort of in shock but trying to be as optimistic as possible. My EDD is Dec 3. I'm really looking forward to getting to meet everyone.
