I think a lot of people troll and then there are people like me who re-check the threads they are interested in :)

Plus, on the more empathetic side, there may be some for whom this thread is a painful reminder of what they have not been able to accomplish. While that is no excuse not to say congratulations, I know, personally, that 15 years ago it would have been hard because I so wanted to be pregnant but couldn't . . . .

believe me... i get the struggle. I have a long excriciating STC story. If anything, it should give hope that it really can happen. Doctors said we would have to do ivf with icsi or use donor sperm with my Dhs sperm count. not to mention not being able to get my body to even ovulate until i lost 128 pounds!

I am very happy for you!!!! A baby changes everything!!

Congrats! I read your blog and understand a number of your struggles. Enjoy this time and take care of yourself. Great job meeting two goals - goal weight, and a pregnancy!

i realize now, i never updated.... I miscarried at 6 weeks 1 day.

the RE thinks it is just one of those things that can happen to any normal healthy woman and that I will get pregnant again... sux though. Obviously.

I am so sorry to hear of this news. I know how frustrating and upsetting a MC can be. Best wishes on future pregnancies ! ! !
