CRAZY story time! *PRAYERS PLEASE*

Lauren • RN 🩺 recurrent unexplained losses 💔 12.6.20 🌈👶🏻💙 FET baby girl born 11.4.22 💕✨ baby #3 EDD 8.17.24 💚

My husband and I have been TTC #1 for 2 years. During that time, we have had two natural CPs, gone through complete fertility workups (with no answers), unsuccessfully tried two IUIs, and have done two rounds of IVF. Our first egg retrieval left us without any blasts. Our second egg retrieval was in February and we ended up with 4 healthy, genetically-normal embryos. Our plan was for a transfer in May (pending all this pandemic stuff). My husband and I are both healthcare workers and have been incredibly busy. Last week, I unfortunately tested positive for Covid. On that same day, a box of cheapies came from Amazon (in preparation for our upcoming transfer). AF was a day late, but I figured it was because I was sick and the cycle prior I’d done egg retrieval. I POAS anyway...and it was positive! I think we BD once last month (we’ve been so busy with work- he’s been putting in 80 hour weeks!) 😂. I assumed that I’d miscarry right away, as I had the previous two times. Well, here I am 5w1d (by my calculations), and those lines have only gotten darker. God has some sense of humor! I’m cautiously optimistic (especially because we have no idea how Covid will affect this baby), but this is the farthest I’ve ever gotten. I’m hypothyroid and with my history, my RE has always liked me to have blood work right away to check betas, TSH, and progesterone. But because of my Covid status, no one will see me. So I’m patiently resting at home, in shock, until I can be seen in one week. They also started me on progesterone just in case. Oh, and does anyone believe in signs? Because I had ordered a headband from Old Navy and the day after I got my BFP, my package arrived... except they accidentally sent me a BABY ONESIE instead of a headband! Just wanted to share this INSANE story with my TTC buddies because apparently anything can happen! DON’T YOU EVER GIVE UP! Please say a prayer for me, my husband, and this lil embryo! 💕💕💕💕💕
