    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.

    Got My Protocol!!!

    Went to the clinic and got my protocol and calendar. I am so excited...it is finally going to start.

    So this is what it looks like:

    July 11 - stop BCP
    July 14 - Begin Gonal-F injections
    July 19 - Continue with Gonal-F and start antagon and menapur injections
    36 hours before retrieval Ovidrel (hCG) injection
    Week of 7/24-7/30 - Egg Retrieval
    3-5 days later - Egg Transfer and as of that moment I will be PG until proven otherwise!!

    You can't even imagine how excited I am. I have been waiting for so long and now it is finally going to start. I am too excited to be nervous and I refuse to be a pessimist. I will be positive throughout this!!
