When Nature Is Not Enough
IVF will hopefully bring us the miracle we are waiting for.
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. View my complete profile	Thursday, February 02, 2006 Free at Last Warden Ivan finally released me today. He wanted to extend it a few more days but I pleaded and won my case. Bed rest is not fun. Since I mostly sit at work it was no big deal to come in today and tomorrow. Well I'm feeling hopeful...YAY!!!! It's hard not to be hopeful once they've done the transfer. Ivan is extremely optimistic and protective of me. The next week will be hard. I don't want to stress about the wait because it will do no good. The bloating is finally starting to go down. I look about 4 months PG as opposed to 5. My bum is already reacting to the PIO shots. In order to avoid Buffalo Butt (the swelling and redness associated with the PIO shots as referred to by one of the RE's at the clinic) Ivan started giving me the shots on my thigh...doesn't hurt that much. We will alternate thighs and bum in order to decrease the horrible side effects. Hopefully it will work. Thanks for your support during this stressful cycle, which will hopefully come to a happy ending next week. \| posted by Liz at 11:32 AM \| 18 Comments: Anonymous commented at 12:55 PM~ Glad the warden let you out.

Crossing everything for exactly that! Portlairge commented at 2:09 PM~ Glad you got parole. I have got everything crossed for you. Your little embies on the last post look so cute.

Anonymous commented at 10:23 PM~ I hope the alternating approach minimizes the side effects - and feel free to update us on that. I will file that one away for when we're on deck with the PIO shots. Here's to Hope - may she not disappoint this cycle!! Anonymous commented at 9:36 AM~ Oh those PIO shots...horrible. I hope the switch will help. I had to switch to the suppositories...not too pleasant. Hoping this is it for you. It's been a long journey and you definitely deserve a happy ending. Implant Nemo and Frosty!!!!!
