    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.

    The Cycle Continues...I guess I can be hopeful

    Well the doctor seems optimistic about the cycle so I guess so should I. Although the follies are developing slowly they are developing therefore I can continue. I was so worried. This has been so hard. I've been feeling so emotional lately. I was so excited to begin and now that I'm there I'm riddled with negativity and anxiety. I've decided that worrying is only going to make me feel worse...so I will try to take it one day at a time. Based on what my b/w and u/s results are I will be positive or negative about it.

    The meds are kicking in, I've been feeling sad, angry, confused. I don't like the mood swings because it's hard to control them. I can be happy one minute and then I'll just get upset. Hopefully it won't last long but then again I will be "hormonal" when I'm pregnant so this is sort of like a rehearsal. Ivan is surprised that I haven't "lost it". I've been trying to keep it all in so I'm sort of more reserved and I'm trying not to interact too much.

    Thanks for your encouraging words on PW.

    I'm so glad you can continue with your cycle. I know that this has been a very difficult and emotional journey and I pray that it will soon come to a happy ending.

    I think taking it one day at a time is a wise thing. It might help keep things in perspective and more "in control". Sending positive vibes your way :)

    I hope your follicals grow just right and so many that it is easy to get that bfp you deserve so much. Maybe the mood swings mean that the meds are working extra hard. Hopefully they go away soon.

    Liz,

    Strong and steady. That's what my husband says. I've had anxiety problems and he's worried I'm gonna go over the edge. But I know this is all for a good cause so I'm really trying to keep it together. These kids will trully know how wanted and lucky they are...at least that's what I tell my two LOLOL

    I hope the moods cease soon and you can really enjoy the positives of pregnancy.

    I'm always here if you need an ear ... and thanks for the encouraging words too :)

    Mood swings are definately a side effect unfortunately.

    I am glad that you are still being optimistic - you will be surprised about the growth spurt those follicles go through!

    Good Luck to you!
