Hello all,
BEmama, what a lovely bit of hopeful news to hear... I'm glad you feel good now...and I'm selfishly now willing 16+5 to come along in the hope I will too

Great news about your test results too. And congrats on having a girl! How wonderful!
ShadyWheat - I knew I recognised your name! I'm also in the low AMH group and have posted a little, but mainly loitered on there learning a lot

Looking at your signature I see you have Crohn's - I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, which is also a chronic autoimmune condition. We probably have some medications and experiences in common! I hope it's behaving okay at the moment and you're feeling able to focus on the pregnancy without the distraction of the Crohn's. I'm lucky to have just (finally) changed to a drug that actually works for me, just before my successful cycle, so I've been in less pain and more active. Infact the effective drug could well be the reason my body finally felt able to become pregnant...who knows. Anyway...well done for plucking up the courage to join and congratulations on your pregnancy! I'm sorry to hear about your earlier losses. I totally get your need to wait and want it to be your secret for a while. Only tell people when you feel ready, it's nobody's business but yours

Haha but I do hope for your sake then that you're right about not showing for a while...I seemed to pop yesterday and suddenly look pregnant, but I am overweight so I did a bit anyway

I haven't told work yet so I felt a bit sheepish walking around the office! Congrats on your test results. I totally know what you mean about being anxious about the pregnancy. I'm counting down to my 16 week scan, but if we're lucky enough that that goes well, I know I'll be counting down to the 20 week scan, and on, and on. It's just so scary and surreal after trying for so long. I really hope your parents will pleasantly surprise you. My mum has made comments to me in the past about being anti women having babies at an older age, and anti 'interfering' by using IVF, BUT she has actually been really happy and supportive of me once I told her. I only actually told her I was doing anything treatment wise after three embryo banking rounds, and in the middle of my first FET!
Anyway, hi to everyone else too! Hope you all have a great sunny weekend even if there's no wine/G&T to be had (booooo).
