HELLO THERE!  I didn't want to start a 2 way conversation on that other post.  I had my first IVF and Thurs. is my Beta.  What grade do you teach?  I teach 1st grade but have taught 6th most of my career so far.  I LOVE first.  They are so adorable and LOVE school at that age.  I have a lot of parent support too which is nice.  I teach in my neighborhood so I have gotten super attached to my kids.  I can't imagine how much love I will feel towards my own!!!!  I can't wait.  What's your story?  8-)

Oh, how wonderful!  You are pregnant!!!   Youre so blessed to have a child so even if something happened, which I am sure it won't, you are very fortunate to have a family of your own!   We hope to have a family as well VERY SOON!  8-)
I hope to go part time once I have a baby.  I actually know someone who will job share with me so I am thrilled about that! But have to get preggo first!!!  Thanks for your positive wishes!

Oh good luck with your IVF results!! I truly hope that you get that BFP.  TTC can be the hardest thing on a marriage especially when you're struggling.  I actually had to see a therapist this past year to overcome my sad feelings of having 2 m/c.  
  Anyways..I'm a middle school teacher.  Taught 8th graders for 5 years.  Once I had our 3 year old DD I gave up full-time teaching to partially be a stay-at-home mom.  I currently substitute teach about 2 days a week and then I'm home with our daughter the other 3.  I've subbed ALL grades but I prefer about 7th-12th grade, although the little ones are really really cute:)
    We finally had pregnancy success along with bypassing another m/c through IUI, progesterone in oil shots (they SUCK), and taking a baby aspirin everyday.  They said that our problem could be linked to the fact that my FSH levels are crazy...I'm 30 years old and I've had my FSH tested and one test came back a 13...horrible...meaning I have diminished ovarian reserve....could also mean that I have some bad eggs left in the bunch...maybe why I've had the m/c.  I've been praying so hard that there was at least 1 good egg left in my batch so that I could have one more child..I just finished 17 weeks today...but I'm still so worried that something is going to go wrong.  
I'll be thinking about you Thursday:)
