Hi girls, I'm Shasta (27) DH is Jesse (26). I used to be here about oh, a year ago I think. Maybe a little longer than that. My husband and I were TTC, but after getting some heartbreaking news from our fertility specialist, we've decided to leave it in God's hands whether we become pregnant or not.
As a little background, I've had 2 miscarriages (Feb '06 and March '11) and since then we haven't been able to conceive. The doctor told me I have a genetic/chromosome issue that makes it hard to conceive without IVF. If we do conceive on our own, we have a 90% chance to miscarry. I haven't seen a geneticist to go through the entire details of what is going on yet.
We think I'm going through either a miscarriage or had a chemical pregnancy now, as I received a positive pregnancy test the day after we found out this devastating news. Of course, I had my blood hcg levels drawn and they were only a 3.
My husband and I don't have the $20,000 to do IVF, so we're basically NTNP until we can save up some money to either do IVF or adoption. I'm not going to lie, I would love a miracle but I don't know if I can handle more miscarriages.
So anyways, hi everyone! If you got through that, I applaud you.
