    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.

    Patience

    The word of the week is patience. I couldn't help but smile when the girl said it. She explained that patience is "when you are waiting for something to happen and you can't rush it". WOW, does she have it nailed. I wish I could say I do.

    I have tried to be patient but we all know how difficult that is. Patience means waiting and waiting sucks!!! I know I have to be patient and believe that everything will work out but sometimes I can't believe that. I think in the last few days I have become more patient and hopeful. I'm starting to understand that patience will give you hope.

    I don't want to dwell anymore on all the what if's. I am accepting what reality is and I'm moving on. YES, I'm moving on.

    As I "patiently" wait for AF and count the days until I start my IVF cycle I try to be positive. I'm trying to focus on the good and accept the bad. By accepting I can devote my time and energy on healthier things. I have spent too much time dealing with the difficulties of infertility and now it's time to focus on the journey that lies ahead.

    We must remember that no matter how bad things are we must have patience.

    Liz,
    I agree waiting is the worst thing in the world, I really pray that your IVF cycle is successful. I can't imagine the waiting. The book I am reading is really helping me, I would suggest it for you. (Only if you want to read it.) Conquering Infertility, It talks alot about helping you through an IVF cycle. Just thought I would tell you about it. I hope that you are doing well and that the waiting goes by fast.

    Waiting is horrible. The process of waiting thru the IVF is terrible. The waiting the 2 weeks to see if it worked is horrible. But above all we need is patience and hope that sometime something great will happen

    I know waiting will be very difficult. I will continue to pray that you won't have to wait very long and will soon be blessed with your miracle.

    Liz - sometimes I think about how hard it is to wait - and how unfair it is....but then I remember that I tried for 2 years for my son - one of the first things I said after he was born was "He was so worth the wait". I know it will be the same thing this time...the waiting is agony....but if I am blessed again, I know the same words will come out of my mouth. You are going to find yourself saying the same thing before you know it.
    I am glad that you are "moving on". Have a good one.
