Hello! · The In Between

Hello!

Hi, I'm Lauren! I'm turning 43 this weekend and I'm currently 10 weeks and 4 days pregnant after 6 and a half years of trying. This is my 5th pregnancy and hopefully my first live birth. I was diagnosed with low egg reserve at 36 and did 7 egg retrievals. I had 1 chemical pregnancy after an IVF cycle converted to IUI. I had 1 ectopic pregnancy that resulted in having a fallopian tube removed. I had 1 natural pregnancy at 40 with 1 tube that we lost at 13 weeks from trisomy 18. We went through a horrible egg donor journey and had 1 pregnancy last year that ended at 8 weeks from a bad subchorionic hematoma. I also had 4 failed transfers with normal embryos. So far this donor pregnancy has gone really well... which I am completely unprepared for, lol!

I'm grateful this is looking good, but still incredibly anxious and cautious. And I'm based in Los Angeles. :)
