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.

Well AF showed up...2 weeks early!!!! What this means is that it throws off my FET cycle...pushes it back 4 weeks. Last night and today I kept having mixed feelings about the FET so I'm wondering if this is a sign to proceed with a fresh cycle instead. I had no intention of doing a FET except as a last resort. When the DR mentioned it yesterday I think I got caught up in the "optimism in the air" and agreed to it. I also agreed to it because I didn't want to wait another 4 weeks...we all know how difficult waiting is.

I talked with Ivan tonight and I was able to express my feelings and reservations about the FET. He understood and stated that whatever I wanted to do would be fine with him. He would prefer a FET so my body doesn't have to go through stims all over again but I don't mind so we are going to do a fresh cycle in Oct. I will be contacting my DR on Monday to let her know. I do feel better about this and more hopeful that it might work. So ladies bear with me for the next month and enjoy the ride...remember there's never a dull moment when you're TTC.

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

Sorry AF showed up but it might have been to your benefit. I think with all that you are going through you have to do what you are most comfortable with. I remember when I did my FET I didn't want to but did it "just because" and when it failed I was so angry and felt it was a wasted cycle and I could have done a fresh one instead. Don't get me wrong FETs can be successful but I totally understand what you're feeling. I know the wait will be difficult but this time you know what to expect. Wishing you lots of luck. Miss you on the board. We have to start a new thread. Jenna commented at 11:13 AM~ I really hope this next 4 weeks goes really fast. Good Luck today, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs, Jenna Anonymous commented at 2:36 PM~ Hoping this is it for you...I'm all for signs!! Heather P. commented at 4:37 PM~ I know how difficult that situation is! HMMM Waiting or doing a fresh cycle. I decieded for a fresh cycle in May instead of using frozen one in April. It was so tough to make that deceision. At least Af made it for you. Sorry though she is here. Want to Post a Comment? back to main page
