    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.

    Waiting sucks

    One more week of BCP and then I begin stims on Thursday 10/13. I am anxious and excited about starting. It’s hard to be hopeful when I know there might be another disappointment. I feel as if I have to prepare myself for this. It’s weird to want something and pray for it and then also pray for the strength to face a disappointment. I know that what ever happens I will get through it.

    It feels different this time. I guess partly since I know what the cycle entails. Ivan is getting nervous. I guess he is starting to understand that it might not be a successful cycle. He was so optimistic last time but experience can take that away from you.

    Nothing much going on besides this. At this point this is all that is on my mind and schedule.

    I was much more relaxed with my last attempt at IVF than the first 2 times. I know I know it is soooo cliche but try to stay relaxed!!! LOL

    Liz, Try to enjoy the calm time before shots. I'm sure you can remember how tough the cycle is, so cherish the in between time if you can. I know it's easier said than done, but I really think that the "off" time between cycles can be theraputic!
