My somewhat normalized period (only in the last 6 months) was a little late, so I took a HPT, and holy crap, it was blaringly positive!!!!!!!!!! I've suffered from secondary infertility (13 medically assisted procedures-IUI and IVF, none successful) for the last 8 years and so I never thought this would happen. I've got a lot against me: I'm 40 and I've had six previous losses, so I'm keeping my head on straight and my heart guarded. I am not certain about how far along we are, maybe 6+ weeks? Went to the RE and they did a scan. Shows a baby and a yolk sac. Next week I go back to look for heartbeat and dating.

Wish us luck. I'm terrified. I'm not going to change anything in my diet except adding one more Protein shake a day until I see my lap band doc in late December, provided the baby is still viable at that time.

Who else is PG with a band right now?

Congratulations and I will keep you in my prayers.

Congratulations! Praying for you!

I will keep you in my thoughts and keep us posted, try to stay positive and try not to stress.

@@briefs199 Yes, I have a daughter who is 8.

I hope all goes well!

Blessings during this exciting and terrifying time!!!

Hanging in there so far! I got to see the heartbeat on a sono. Keep up the positive thoughts! Thank you!!

That is wonderful. Sleep well tonight!

Just wanted to update again and say baby is doing well!! Heart beat of 179 and measures 8 weeks. Thanks for all the well wishes!

Woo hoo!!!

Today I went to my LB doc and he wanted to take out the 2ccs that were there. But it was awful to take out!! He couldn't get a good shot to my port, so he had me move in a sorts of positions and it was like when they try to do a blood draw and can't find the vein!! YOUCH!! but he took it out, so I'm all unfilled. I hope he didn't hurt the baby. It really did hurt. Then I met with Nutrition who basically said don't change a thing, just eat an extra yogurt or so per day. I can handle that.

Just wanted to come back and let you know that so far, so good! Saw baby wiggling on the sono today.
