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.

I'm so relieved there was a growth spurt. Yesterday the follies measured at 11-13mm with one at 15 and today there were as per dr. "quite a few at 15 and 16mm". Once there are 2 measuring 17mm they will schedule ER.

This has been such a long process. I've been stimming for 12 days and the meds and everyday b/w and u/s are getting to me....especially when there isn't much progress. I confessed to the dr that I am feeling very negative about the cycle. She did the best to reassure me that things were moving along but I feel as if I have to prepare myself for a disappointment. I hate this. I feel as if I am just going to lose it. As much as I want to be positive and hopeful it is SOOO hard. I have to find a way to "relax"...oh no trigger word that makes me lose it. Some how I have to cope with the uncertainties and trust and believe that what is meant to be will be.

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