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.

We met with the dr. yesterday and everything looks good. My FSH was 5.2 and Ivan's s.a. was good...his numbers were so good he was boasting he had "super" sperm. It better be super on the day of egg retrieval.

I left the clinic feeling so hopeful. I know we have a 40% chance of getting pregnant and 60% chance of not getting pregnant but I feel luck is on our side. Right now my odds are zero. If I get pregnant "naturally" it will be another ectopic so 40% is great to me!

We just finished watching the Paula Zahn show. The topic was infertility. It was great to hear other people's stories, even those that were endless disappointments. I am feeling hopeful that it will work. I'm not a very religious person but this experience has strengthed my relationship with God and that is giving me the hope and strength to go on. I know that he is making this possible for us; therefore, I know he will help us. I know my baby is with God waiting for me.

I'm crossing my fingers for twins... maybe they can play with Jenn's twins :)

UPDATE:

After all this I forgot to say when I'm starting... thanks for asking Ally.

I'm waiting for AF to arrive. Hopefully it will be on Monday...I can't believe I'm anxiously waiting for it...IT BETTER GET HERE. I go to the clinic on CD 2 or 3 for baseline b/w and u/s and then I begin BCP on CD 3. I will be on it for 2-3 weeks and then on CD 21 I begin stims. I will get the protocol when I go next week and they will order the meds. I'm not looking forward to all the shots...OUCH...I'm such a baby.

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