We are so excited- just got our blood results back/initial testing and things look good. I know we have a long road but the fact that we’re pregnant at all is a huge victory for us!!
If my husband sees this, hi daddy :)
(Edit)
Holy shit this is on the front page!! Now I’m worried that’s going to make my husband happier than the baby ;)! Thank you everyone, I wouldn’t wish the struggle of infertility on my worst enemy -especially with the joke that is US health care system. If you’re out there still hoping, don’t give up I see you and I hope for you too.

Such a nice world to bring your kid into! Congratulations!

My girlfriend whom I had unprotected sex with is NOT pregnant, which is almost as exciting. Congrats nonetheless

I know no one wants to hear this, but there is already a human overpopulation.

Leo, you really shouldn't be drinking if you're pregnant...

He drinks to cope with being raped by a bear. He's trying to get help though.

See self isolating and being stuck inside has now paid off!!!
HolyCowDoNotEat
Be cautious and moderate your expectations. It’s an exciting time, but the first trimester is also a risky time. Hope it works out.

Yeah. 5 IVF transfers/8 embryos, 3 miscarriages by 8w, 1 outright fail, 1 chemical. On to surrogate.

From one IF momma to another - there aren’t enough hugs and high fives to do this justice. Enjoy every moment. I was never more excited 1/2

Puke than the first time I got MS. Do your happy dance, sis! Big congratulations!

Dr. Told my wife she'd never have kids at a pretty young age, 3 kids later......

How long have you been practicing medicine Mister... Doctor. Mr. Doctor. It's Told. Maybe, who am I to say? (Scene from Dr. Told)

Haha love it, sounds like a line in airplane!

Congrats! I'm 18 weeks today. Just remember it's ok to not enjoy your pregnancy and REALLY want this baby. First trimester can be rough

Pregnancy after infertility is very tricky. Happiest time of my life, scariest time of my life. I'm here if you need to talk! Congrats! <3

Congrats! We're in the same infertility boat. So happy for you!

It doesn’t get easier but hang in there! Every journey is unique and worth it!

During 2020? I bet 20$ it's the anti-christ.
SweetFighter
As someone who has a high risk of miscarriages or even death during labor, it makes me so happy to see a successful pregnancy. Congrats!

I negotiated a cash deal with the hospital for my first kid. It "only" cost $3,000.

Not necessarily, going by op's post

They finally decided to try the wrong hole.
Neoeon
Actually, chances are they had a LOT of sex until they found out that it wasnt working and had to get IVF or whatever its called.
alwaysupvotefuturama
I know, from personal experience. Only we found out too soon for my liking ;p
BoopleSnoot615
He's right. They probably did IUI or IVF treatments. No sex required. The husband probably had to masturbate though. Just saying.
Freddietheschnauzer
My husband didn’t even get to do that. Direct surgery on his balls to get sperm.
alwaysupvotefuturama
Ouch ouch ouch
mobileimgurlags
And now I feel even worse for couples that have trouble with this. Sorry that dudes balls
BoopleSnoot615
Yikes. I hope mine won't have to do that. We're starting our first IUI next month so we'll see how it goes. Congrats on the pregnancy @op!
midwestbest
Good luck! It was an incredibly emotional moment that I wasn’t even expecting. Am so lucky to have an amazing RE & Team!
PinkSodaMix
Fertility treatments mean the sex failed and they used science. Also RIP their bank account.
alwaysupvotefuturama
If they lived in the civilized world there would be hope for the bank account.
pygmypufftrampstamp
fertility treatments usually start with cycle monitoring and timed intercourse, then IUI and then IVF.

Gives me a wee bit of hope. Congrats! We’re 15 months in, one failed IUI...boy is it a journey we never expected to be on!
Thediciplematt
With you, it sucks. Big time!
AnnieBahde
Third one took for us. I know the struggle, month after month of hope and disappointment. It’s all consuming. Best of luck!
kirspacerunner
Good to know! So torn about whether IUI is a waste of time but we’re unexplained (yay... ugh) so who knows!
AnnieBahde
Same! Unexplained secondary infertility. We were one cycle away from quitting when it took. I think the cost of adoption/IVF is such that a
AnnieBahde
few cycles of IUI make sense. It was not too bad, $400/month. I had a great doctor that was reasonably priced.
AnnieBahde
IIRC at a certain point it doesn’t make sense to do any more cycles, the chances of it taking are minimal. Maybe try to that point?
