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 trigger tonight and ER is on Thursday. This cycle went by fast and it was stress-free after day 7. I’m glad I didn’t get obsessed and was able to take it one day at a time….it made such a difference. I’m crossing my fingers that most of the eggs are mature and will fertilize normally although in the end I only need 2. You can imagine how excited I am especially since the last couple of days I’ve been feeling some discomfort and my belly is bruised oh but wait I forgot the fun shots begin…progesterone…ouch!!!

Ivan is already starting to feel nervous about his contribution. He has been so stressed about the cycle…you would think he was the one doing everything. It’s funny because he goes through all the emotional changes that I’m suppose to. I wonder what will happen when I’m pregnant.

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