HOPE for others

[mgmonroe]

This isn't a question.  I actually wanted to come back to this site and share good news.  I remember how much this website helped me through all my IUI's and IVF cycle and I was always looking for hope.  I wanted to come back here and share my story and hopefully shed some hope for someone else who wanted to read a success story of sorts.  History: My husband has low sperm count and 1% morphology and 40% motility.  My levels are awful and am lucky to get 2 good eggs at retrieval! We tried on our own for 3 years. We were told we needed to use a sperm donor in order to get preggo. My husband and I had 3 failed IUI attempts.  We tried IVF and had a successful cycle with 1 good embryo. We have a healthy 2 year old now.  We also got preggo on our own out of the blue in Feb. of this year.  It did end in a miscarriage.  I am now pregnant again (on our own) hoping that all goes well.
I wanted to share this story because I always wanted to hear how things turned out -  whether or not ladies finally conceived after all the hardships.  I'm not sure how this pregnancy will turn out but I can't tell you how many doctors told me that this was not possible only to be proven wrong.  I hope it sheds some hope for others out there.

You're welcome and thank you. I didn't know if this would upset ppl or make them feel hopeful.  I always wanted to hear good news and not constant bad news.  

I am only 5 weeks :-)
