Hi ladies,
So I have some surprising, yet very good news. I tested positive on a home pregnancy test today. My husband and I are cautiously excited. I say that because of what we went through on our last pregnancy. For those of you who haven't heard my story, back in 2012 we were 12 weeks pregnant and found out our baby had a fatal chromosome disorder, Trisomy 18. We lost her the following week. We were devastated, but wanted to try one more time so we started trying as soon as the Dr gave us the green light (Dec 2012). I tried ovulation tests, etc, but it just wasn't happening so, after over a year of trying, we gave up a couple of months ago. I am 42 and my husband will be 40 in a couple of weeks so we are very nervous about another genetic problem. I am trying not to be negative, but it is hard. It is still very early (only a day late for pd) so anything can happen, but I did want to share my news with you all. Excited, but scared tonight.
