Hello, Everyone! Wow, how great to see this thread.

I don't know if anyone remembers me or my situation. I was here waiting to cycle with all of you and then I found out that I had a functional ovarian cyst and my July cycle was cancelled. I went on to have a cyst aspiration toward the end of July and began stimming at the beginning of August. We literally ended up with a miracle pregnancy at the end of August. By the time transfer day came the doctor had opted for a 2dt because we had only one remaining 2-cell embryo (yes, 2-cell) by day 2. It was graded BC (midgrade quality) and I did not feel much hope at all until the second week rolled around. I could not pinpoint it but I just knew something was quite different. We had a slow start. Our first beta was very low and we did not see the heartbeat at our first ultrasound. The doctor looked concerned but he was so surprised and happy for us the following week. We told him he made a miracle happen for us and he said, "No, you are the miracle."

So to all of you still trying, don't give hope even when the odds are against you. I had lost all hope and was quite close to losing my faith too. I am wishing you all the best in your continued journey. And to all of you in your 20th week and beyond, I wish a continued healthy and happy pregnancy.

to all!!!
