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.

First shot down…. let’s see how many more to go 30, 40, 50….oh my. I was a nervous wreck. I kept reading the instructions, grabbing too much skin, and dropping the alcohol pad. Ivan was great…I was surprised and very grateful. He was by my side, rubbing my side and back as I did it and saying, "you’re doing good". When I finished he counted to five and then said, "okay you can take it out". I was still scared and wouldn’t. He then sort of demanded that I take it out. I was envisioning blood gushing out…I have a very vivid imagination and was sort of disappointed but yet relieved when there wasn’t even a drop of blood in sight. When it was over I could breathe and thought, "I can do this". I then ran to the bathroom.

This is the first of many milestones to come. Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I’m excited and nervous but right now I’m in control of my feelings so I can handle it…let’s see next week.

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