I've actually put off posting here until my first ultrasound because I'm so nervous. I know some of you from GP, but here's my quick intro.
I've been TTC for 2 years. In that time, I lost my first baby at 8 weeks in March '14 and had a chemical pregnancy in October '15. I had three IUIs before becoming pregnant with this child. It's been a long, rough road and I'm still very nervous. My initial HCG levels looked great at 4 weeks.
My fertility clinic offered me an early ultrasound, so I had that done yesterday. I measured exactly on target - 7 weeks, 1 day. We were able to hear the heartbeat at 133bpm. I was hoping I'd be very relieved after the ultrasound, but I lost my first baby four days after seeing him on the ultrasound so I'm still nervous. But I'm trying to positive and am really hopeful that this is the one! I'll be due around September 26th. Happy to finally be on the Got Pregnant boards!

Congrats! Wishing you a very happy and healthyb9 months. Our first was after 2 losses so I totally get the anxiety. This pregnancy has it's moments even though everything is going well. ((Hugs))
Thanks, everyone! I'm so happy to finally be here. It's awful and I'm sorry anyone has to go through such things, but it's comforting to see that I'm not the only one who has lost previous children or gone through fertility treatments. It's nice that you guys will understand my anxieties rather than other people IRL (*cough* my mom *cough*) who has basically told me to "get over it."
