Finally a BFP!

I am pregnant! I can't believe that it finally happened. I have tried for four years with clomid, IUI and IVF. We have attempted IVF 6 times, but with only two transfers. I was always cancelled for various reasons at different points of my cycles.I have had cysts, one ovary removed and both tubes removed and I am finally pregnant. I was considered a poor responder and after seeing a new RE he tried a different protocal and it finally worked for me. I am nervous, but excited. My 2nd beta looked good and I go back on Friday for my 3rd beta. I am in shock because this has been a long journey of trying to conceive. I just wanted to share my news because I never thought it would happen for me especially with only one ovary and no tubes.
