    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.

    Back to reality!

    We got back yesterday. We had a wonderful time...it was great to get away...we sure needed it. It was very relaxing yet lots of fun. Didn't do much thinking about TTC except when I saw PG women and babies. I was very surprised by the amount of PG women vacationing...of course I was jealous but I know my day will come...trying to be hopeful.

    I met with the nurse today and got my protocol. I continue on the BCP until 10/10 and then begin stims on 10/13. ER is estimated to be around the week of 10/23. I am excited to start and trying to be hopeful...I think you all know how it is. You want to be hopeful but yet prepare yourself for a disappointment.

    Hope everyone is doing well.

    Glad you had a great time!!!

    I can't believe you will be starting very soon. I know you must be excited and nervous...but it's all normal. I think we all understand the need to be cautious but yet hopeful.

    Sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

    I am so happy that you had such a good time Liz! I bet it was nice to get away and it was definitely much needed for both you and your husband.

    I'm glad that you are home safe and sound. I am also glad that you are so hopeful and positive for this next cycle. I can't believe that it is so close. Good things are going to happen for you....you deserve it.

    Take care!

    I am so happy that you had a great and relaxing time - you deserve it.

    Like Allie said - I can't believe your cycle is just around the corner - it feels like it went so fast!

    Lots of luck!
