    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.

    They're growing....

    Went for another scan today....16 follicles!!!! There are about 5 measuring 13 and the rest are between 9-11. I have to start going now on a daily basis for monitoring. Based on the last cycle I predict the retrieval will be at the end of the week probably Friday. I'm tempted to make a bet with Ivan.

    I can't believe I am half way there. I feel as if I waited so long and now that I am cycling it is going pretty fast. This cycle has been more relaxing and fortunately hasn't been as emotional. I'm trying to be hopeful and in some ways I am. I know all I can do is hope and wait and indulge in my comfort food.

    Thanks for the support...you are all great!!
