gingerly stepping over here from the over-40 board . . .

I've now had two good beta's (239 at ~14 dpo and 614 at ~16dpo) and am beginning to think this could be real. I was anxiously waiting to start ivf#3 when AF was late. I tested and got the shock of my life with a bfp.

I turn 41 next week and have been ttc#1 for 2 1/2 years. I've been to 3 RE's, done 3 iui'd and 2 ivf's. I lost an ovary to an endo cyst three years ago, and also have hashimoto's.

I'm kinda freaked out, and looking forward to my u/s. This feels kinda weird - I've become an expert at ttc, but I have no idea how to be pg! I'm really hoping this lasts, and I'm so grateful for this refuge where I think you can understand my combined sense of both elation and overwhelming fear.

I'm looking forward to being a member of this board. Ack!!!!!!
