our BFPs were a year ago

I got my BFP one year ago today. It simultaneously feels like yesterday and a lifetime ago.

We did IVF and I got BFNs throughout the two week wait. The night before the beta blood test my husband convinced me, during dinner, to test one last time to finish off the box of tests. It was positive and we spent the next hour at the table, dinner forgotten, excitedly talking about what it would be like to have two kids.

(Apologies if this was discussed in one of the mega-threads; I can't keep up with them!).

I agree with you that it seems like a different lifetime even though it was only 1 year ago!

I was thinking the other day that although having a baby is hard work, it is the most rewarding thing and the kind of love you experience is incredible. It makes me feel even more sorry for those struggling to have babies and also sad for some people who have never had kids because they never got to experience THIS. Sorry for the cheese, but I work with some people who have never had kids/never wanted kids, and I just couldn't imagine my life anymore without this amazing love.

So, a different lifetime ago, but a certainly better lifetime now!

There was a separate post for this a couple weeks ago but I can't find it to share the title if you want to read other's stories.
