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 had an unscheduled appointment today and although I initially was upset about this it actually ended up being a very gratifying session. As I listened to this 11-year-old talk about her fears about starting school what she wanted most was reassurance that all would be well. As much as I wanted to reassure her there is no guarantee that it will be the way she hopes. She picked "hoping for the best" as her phrase for this week. I couldn’t help but laugh when she said this as it reminded me of what I am facing. Here we are in two totally different places but searching for the same thing…happiness and hope.

She served as an inspiration for me. We both must face our fears and try because if we don’t it will be worse, we will be worse. Although I’m afraid of "going forward" because of another disappointment I know that I must. I guess this session gave me a boost. I feel motivated and I know it’s okay to go on. So today I begin another day, another chapter and I continue to hope.

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