Hello All,
My wife and I finally got a BFP on my birthday of all days! We are 5 weeks along and she is experiencing the basic pregnancy symptoms. Tried, change in appetite, very heavy painful breast. We are so very excited for this journey and hope thst everything goes smooth. We have our first ultrasound in 2 weeks are are eager to see the little bean and ensure all looks well.

For any of you trying several times, dont give up. We had bought 5 vials, ended up trying 2 donors, 3 different fertility drugs and with the 5th and final vial we got it. It is emotionally and financially draining but it will all be worth it to see the bundle.

best of luck everyone!

Erin and Mel

    Hey Courtney,
    We tried soaking the feet, acupuncture, 3 different drugs and changing donors and I think it came down to the injectibles. Menepour was the drug that worked for Melissa and so far so good. She is tired but no sickness yet.

    If you want email us at erinjberg@gmail. That is my email, my wife isnt much of a emailer..lol

    Best of luck to you. I think once we started thinking it wasnt going to happen it did. I mean up to throwing the first test out cause there was no pink line It took about 30 minutes for it to show up.

    Girls!!! I am so flipping excited for you both! Have you had your second BETA yet?!

    Got some news to share with you....we too are PREGNANT!!!! Holy crazy right?! I am totally with you...I think once we resigned to the fact this was just never going to happen, or at least any time soon, our BFP appeared! We ended up testing at home 12dpiui (Sunday) and got a positive....we couldn't believe it so we tested again Sunday night and then got a digital and took that Monday. We had our BETA yesterday...and it was 120! I have second BETA tomorrow...so fingers crossed!

    Wishing you two a happy and healthy 9 months!

    Hey Courtney. That is so amazing. So so so happy for you guys. We must have had the same baby juju at the same time. Do you mind me asking where about yall live? We would love to stay in touch with couple going through the same thing and maybe even local. We are in CA.

    Best of luck with the 2nd test. Our first blood test ws 144, then 257 then 696. We have our 7 week ultrasound next thursday and it cant come fast enough.

    keep us updated!

    How amazing is it that we both got our BFP right around the same time! Sure must have been he month for all of us! When are you due?!

    Of course I don't mind sharing ! We live in West Palm Beach, FL....even though we aren't local we would love to keep in touch and have somebody going through this with us! I got your e-mail, ours is wally030306@yahoo.com.

    Our second BETA came back looking good...so our first was 120 and yesterday was 250, exactly 48 hours later. Your numbers look amazing!!! I bet you girls cannot wait for that ultrasound! We will get ours 2 weeks from Monday...it is like the TWW all over again....but even more agonizing of a wait!

    So excited for you both! Do you haves names picked out?!?! :)

    Sending sticky baby dust!
