    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.

    Trying to be hopeful

    4 days past 3 day transfer…implantation could be occurring. Image hosted by Photobucket.com

    I’m doing my very best to be hopeful and not give into my negativity….it seems to be working. Fortunately I’m not going crazy and obsessing. Going back to work on Tuesday helped. Although once I got here I felt guilty that I should have been home in bed resting so they could snuggle in but being home would mean I would get consumed with all sorts of feelings. Fortunately work isn’t that stressful or physical. Although Tuesday I had some kids that were extremely restless and I was moving a lot but these lil guys have proven to be strong and I’m sure they can make it…if it’s possible and most of all if it’s meant to be.

    It’s funny how for months all I did was think about wanting to be pregnant and now that I might actually be I have to remind myself that sometimes things happen for a reason. I know in my heart that I will have a baby but if it’s not this time then it will be next time. My prayers and thoughts have changed so much…I’ve changed so much. I feel wiser, stronger but still struggling with patience. I’ve learned that I have to have faith and that will get me through everything.

    Since I'm trying to be hopeful the PUPO blinkie goes up again.
