My Miracle!!!

Just FYI: I am a lurker on these boards. I've kept things to myself because after 8 cycles of failed IUIs, 1failed IVF and three surgeries I am FINALLY PREGNANT!! It took 9 at home tests, and 2 blood tests to start to finally make a dent in my calloused mind that this is possible for us! We are cautiously optimistic at this point since it is so early in the pregnancy.

This is my first EVER time to be officially pregnant other than my PUPO, 2ww after my transfer, I am shocked that after almost 6+ years of infertility I am in the land of the fertile. It is weird, humbling and foreign land as far as I'm concerned. I am grateful for all the prayers you may send my way, we have been waiting for this day for what seems like forever. I find myself in shock, and almost numb because I know how quickly a pregnancy can turn, I'm doing my best to be positive and remain in a grateful state. I really believe that this is a miracle, even getting two lines on a hpt was a miracle, and now that my Beta came back and it says that I am exactly where I need to be for my first week of gestation it is an incredible feeling. I'm also battling tiredness, nausea and I just feel like I'm having "flu-like" symptoms. Any tips and advice from other long term fertility challenged would certainly be appreciated! 

To God be the Glory,

 Congratulations!! I hope you have a wonderful and happy 9months!

Thank you!!

Take it one day at a time and enjoy EVERY minute of it! If you terrify yourself with the possibilities you'll never enjoy the "nows". Good luck and congratulations!!!

 when i found out about this pregnancy (post miscarriage) i didn't want to say anything to anyone. i was so paralyzed with fear that i couldn't be happy. its sad bc my first pregnancy i was so happy to see those lines, with the 2nd even though i was happy inside i couldn't bring myself to show it after what happened the last time. i think anyone who's had a MC knows that feeling. i tried to stay cautiously optimistic. i am grateful every single day for this baby boy inside of me. ever day. i know you are and will be till the day you have this baby and beyond. i wish you lots of lucky for a healthy pregnancy. i'm so happy for you. you truly truly deserve this. enjoy it!! pregnancy is a blast. i've loved every minute of it.

 Just wanted to say congratulations!   I'm in my 1ww now and hoping I can celebrate with you after 3 failed IUI's. :)  

I can't imagine how good it must have felt to see 2 lines! 

Congratulations!  This made me smile!  Enjoy every minute!

Congrats! H&h 9 mo to you!!!!!

 Congrats!! I will pray for you and the baby to be healthy and strong!!! 

Thank you all for all the amazing well wishes! I did not do a drive by post, I have been having betas and now I'm worried that they are not high enough and doubling the way it is expected. It has been so stressful! The two lines were shocking to say the least, after so much heartbreak I had to take one or two tests a day to finally come to terms that something was going in there! Please continue to pray that this little bean sticks around for 9 happy and healthy months. I'm so afraid that this will not end well, we are holding out hope but the cramping and low betas dont help me feel comfortable. Again thank you all so much for the kind words and thoughts sent my way, we appreciate it!
