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 transferred 2 great blastocysts and were able to freeze 3. It was a wonderful experience. The ET went smoothly, it was a little uncomfortable b/c they did an abdominal u/s and my "belly" is SO sore but it was worth it. Ivan was in the room and we were able to see when the catheter was inserted and the embies were released....unbelievable.

So I am a mommy...it feels great. I'm on bedrest which was prolonged a couple of days because of OHSS (abdomen is swollen and ovaries are full of fluid). I am being monitored for it and if the symptoms do not subside in a day or two I will be hospitalized. The doctor gave us the option of cancelling the transfer and doing a frozen one when I was better but there was no way I was leaving without my little ones. So I will deal with the discomfort and the bloatedness (I look about 4-5 months pregnant and it hurts when I walk and move).

The next couple of weeks will be nerve wrecking...we all know how that is but I will remain focused and positive...well I will try.

Like my new blinkies states I'm "Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise".

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