About Me

Name: Liz

Location: New York

I'm 37 and have been happily married since Sept. 2002. Ivan is truly my companion in life. Our TTC journey has felt like a never ending roller coaster ride. We had an ectopic PG in Dec. 04 and in April 05 found out my IF is due to tubal abnormality. We were told IVF was our only hope. July 05 we did IVF # 1 and it was a chemical PG. We did IVF # 2 in Oct. 05 and it was a BFN. In Jan. 06 we did a combined fresh and frozen embryo transfer and it was a BFN. We were determined not to give up our dream of having a baby. IVF # 4 was in April 06. The cycle worked like a charm and on December 20, 2006 we were blessed with Hannah and Matthew.

I'm feeling nervous about IVF. There are no guarantees and it might not work. What if it doesn't work? I don't know if we can try again. I just assumed we would but last night Ivan tells me that he's fed up with his job and as soon as we do IVF he's quitting - talk about pressure. I know it's been hard on him at work but he can't quit...we're using his insurance because it will at least cover the meds, bloodwork, u/s and other tests that might be needed.

We have our 2nd consultation tomorrow at the Sher Institute. I would LOVE to go with them but it might cost too much. They are not contracted by Ivan's insurance so we would have to pay everything out of pocket...too much $$. I'm anxious to hear what their treatment plan would be. I can at least compare it with the other clinic (we have another appt. next week).

Since I know I will be doing IVF I want to get started but I'm scared. I'm scared of getting a BFN. I know it's a possibility and I'm trying not to think about it. I want to be hopeful but I can't be...it's hard when you keep getting disappointed month after month.

I have to change my way of thinking. Some how I have to be optimistic but I am such a pessimist. HELP....

When Nature Is Not Enough
IVF will hopefully bring us the miracle we are waiting for.

I know everything is going to work out and you will have your baby. DON'T LOSE HOPE!! I hope the consultation went well. I know selecting a doctor is difficult but since there is so much at stake here there is more pressure. Soon your dream will come true. Want to Post a Comment? back to main page
