    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.

    Milestone #1

    Sorry for the wait. The appt took longer then expected and then we had to share the news with my family.

    Drumroll please.....

    We're having TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I couldn't believe it when the tech said there were two sacs. They are both measuring 6w6d although I'm 7w2d but the doctor said that was not a problem. Apricot's heartbeat was 136 and Buttercup's was 158.

    I will post the pic when I'm home.

    Thanks so much for your support!!
