    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.

    Tick Tock....

    I feel as if the IVF clock has finally started. I did the baseline b/w and u/s and now I can begin. I’m doing the long protocol, which means I will be on BCP for about 2-3 weeks and start stims after that. Next week I meet with the nurse and pick up my prescriptions and then I order my meds. I am looking forward to that!! I can’t wait to get my "intimidating box". We did the injection class and Ivan was able to do a practice shot…not bad at all.

    I am so eager to start. I feel as if I’ve been waiting for so long…hey I have been. I’m glad that I have processed all my feelings and I’m able to start with a positive attitude. I know that no matter what happens (- or +) I did all I can possibly do. I’m leaving everything up to God…finally understanding that it’s all up to him.

    I know it has been a very long and emotional journey. I look forward to hearing about your cycle. Much luck with the meds and side effects and I will continue to pray that you get your baby/ies :)

    I am happy for you Liz. Seems like such a long road to get here. Here's hoping the road ends soon and you have a beautiful baby.

    I am so happy for you liz and I am so glad that you are feeling really positive. The injections aren't bad at all - definately the anticipation is worse than the actual injection!!

    Good luck to you!
