Hi Everyone

Just dipping my toe in this thread. I got my BFP yesterday after our 7th IVF transfer. I know a few of you girls already xxx and look forward to chatting with the rest of you.

My DH and I are both 41 and got married last year at Easter. We tried naturally but nothing happened so after 6 months off to the docs who recommended we see a FS. He basically said due to age, straight to IVF. We have undiagnosed infertility which they are just putting down to old eggies. Everything else comes up fine.

We got our 1st ever BFP in June. We were super excited as we had been through 5 cycles of IVF by then. I had a dating scan at 7 weeks all was good. Measured on dates and hb of 120bpm. We had relaxed and told pretty much everyone over the next few weeks. Unfortunately I had a missed miscarriage in July at 9wks + 6 days. I didn't feel pg enough so had asked for another scan and sure enough bubs had stopped growing at 6wks and 3 days so bubs must have arrested just after the scan. It was a very difficult time.

So now I find myself happily pg but wary. We wont be sharing our news until later. I told my boss and BFF but thats it. We will tell immediate family after our 7 week scan, which we intend to push out until almost 8 weeks as my DH mothers birthday is around the 7 and a half week mark and she has sadly passed away, so surely she will bring us good luck.

I think I will hang out here for while under Joeve's chair.
