    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.

    Courage

    I forgot to post the word of the week: Courage

    I smiled when the child picked the word and thought that it was very appropriate to what I am embarking on...I also took it as a sign.

    I know that with courage comes hope. If you have the courage to try something you are hopeful that it will happen. As much as I'm afraid and don't even want to think about the disappointment of IVF not working I have some hope that it might. I have to remind myself that this is my only option. I have no chance of conceiving on my own but with IVF I have a 40% chance so that gives me hope.

    I have the courage to.....
    - face my worries head on
    - listen to my heart
    - try to be hopeful
    - have a positive outlook
    - surrender this to God and believe that through him all things are possible

    So when we are feeling down and don't have hope we must have the courage to go on and not give up.

    I think roadblocks that are thrown in our way are a test of our courage and strength. I often ask myself why I'm being constanty challenged...maybe to see if I have what it takes to persevere and be all that I can.

    Your words inspire me to not give up. Thanks Liz and may you find the strength to forge ahead. :)
