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	Tuesday, May 30, 2006 2 more days! I'm anxious and eager about my u/s on Thursday. I can't believe it is finally here. I'm still adjusting to the fact that it worked. Sometimes I wake up and I have to remind myself that it isn't a dream...my dream has come true! It's funny how I've wanted this for so long and now that it's finally here it's hard to rejoice in happiness. I'm trying not to get consumed by my fears of "something going wrong". I have to believe that all will be well. Ivan is starting to get nervous about the u/s. He's been going online and checking to see what we should expect to see. He's very happy and is pleased that we will be telling our family afterwards. This weekend he went shopping and purchased things for the baby - girl and boy. He's hoping for twins while I think it's a singleton. It doesn't matter how many there are we're having a baby and that is all that matters. It's hard to put to words how I'm feeling. In some ways I'm still in shock but I'm also being cautious. Still no symptoms except for the side effects. The back pain has decreased significantly. I'm still huge and getting bigger everyday. I purchased a pair of capris on Wednesday and when I wore them on Sunday I had to take them off after an hour because they were so tight...unbelievable. I'm not really complaining, it's just annoying that it's happening so fast. There doesn't seem to be a transition. My bum is swollen and bruised from the PIO shots. Oh the joys of an IVF pregnancy...yes, the joy!!! \| posted by Liz at 10:11 AM \| 19 Comments: Winnifred commented at 11:25 AM~ I can't wait to hear about the u/s! I have to say that I was convinced it was one baby until the night before the u/s... I had a dream that it was twins for the first time - it was weird... and sure enough, it was twins! happy thoughts coming your way! :) Sporty commented at 1:16 PM~ I am so happy for you Liz! I can't wait to read all about your u/s. Take care. Jenna commented at 2:04 PM~ 2 More days!!! I can't wait!! I think it is twins!! I hope that Ivan and I are right!! This is so exciting!!! I am sorry you are getting big so fast!! That really does suck you have had to buy so many new clothes that don't even fit. I hope that you make that trip to the maternity store soon. I know you want to wait.. but it will help you be more comfortable. 2 More days... how am I ever going to pass my time waiting! Allie commented at 7:20 PM~ I am more excited about your u/s than my own transfer! I can't wait for the full report :) Make sure you blog right away - or I'll be dying over here!! I think it's so sweet that Ivan is surfing the web and educating himself. I can't say that my DH would do the same. He is wonderful, but just not as involved as Ivan. I think you are very lucky - you have a true partner. I'm sorry you're feeling yucky. I think your earlier suggestion about someone writing an IVF pregnancy book is genious. Maybe you should do it! Or if I ever get PG, maybe we can co-author! Anonymous commented at 8:24 PM~ Two more days...I am soooo excited. I also think it's twins. Crossing everything that all is well. Anonymous commented at 8:47 PM~ Glad to see I'm not the only one who can't wait for your u/s results. I'm betting on twins. Good luck and stay positive. Anonymous commented at 7:41 AM~ Yahoo!

Hope you start feeling better soon. Jenna's right, ya may wanna get you some maternity pants before to long. Some have that wonderful expanding waist band to grow with you. Its all about the comfort.
