05 Feb Naturally Pregnant at 40 After IVF and Miscarriages

My husband and I tried for 2 years naturally to get pregnant with no avail. We then tried 2 rounds of clomid. Shortly after I was diagnosed with endometriosis so doctors removed my left ovary and fallopian tube.
.
We moved onto IVF and had 3 healthy embryos. Our 1st FET ended in a miscarriage before our first sonogram of Baby Girl singleton. Our 2nd FET ended in another miscarriage before our first sonogram of boy-girl twins. We were out of embryos at this point.
.
We then did our second egg retrieval shortly after. We ended up with 3 healthy embryos again. Unfortunately, I developed a hernia from a gallbladder surgery and was unable to have our 3rd FET until my hernia fixed.
.
Our 3rd FET worked and I stayed pregnant until my c- section at 38 weeks. Our rainbow baby boy is now 14 months old.
.
I joined Moms in the Making when our son was almost 5 months old. My relationship with God wasn’t as strong as I thought it was. God always knows what we need and I needed to repair my faith. Through Caroline’s home group, I have repaired my faith, strengthened relationships, go to church regularly, and have 4 Christian stations on my radio.
.
We decided to do our 4th FET in June 2018, and miscarried our son at the end of July. Two weeks after my miscarriage I went to the Moms in the Making group and the women prayed over me. I felt a surrender I have never felt before.
.
I was ready to try again, but wanted to try naturally instead of IVF. A few girls in the group recommended I read The Circle Maker. I wasn’t leaving from my prayer circle and declared God was going to make me naturally pregnant. And He did! I did the footwork and let God do the rest. Following my miscarriage, I ovulated 9 days after my beta hit 1. They told me I wouldn’t ovulate for 6-8 weeks. It took 9 days.
.
I am now 27 weeks pregnant. I have never been pregnant naturally in all my life and at 40 years old, it happened! I wouldn’t have this miracle without Moms in the Making, Caroline, and all of these amazing friends I have. I am so grateful.
