    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.

    Bedrest continues

    I went for another cervical checkup on Friday. It went from a 2.8 on Wed. to a 3.7. I was SO shocked. I wasn't expecting it to improve I was just hoping it would stabilize so that was a wonderful surprise. They still want me to remain on bedrest, especially since its working.

    I know this is for the babies but staying home is not easy and it's very boring. Of course now I don't want to watch anything on TV or read a book. I try but I get restless which isn't good since I have nothing else to do. I hope I will get "released" very soon. I have another appt. on Wed...wish me luck.

    I'm sorry to hear the bedrest continues but it is great news that it's working! I wish I had some advice to make it easier.

    So glad that the cervix is improving. As much as it is a pain to do, keep laying on that couch. Some things you might think about doing to help the time pass: Netflix and watch all those movies that you forgot you wanted to see, putting together a scrapbook for the babies, registering online for baby stuff, checking out some of the online bedrest groups like Sidelines. I know how boring it can get but try to hang in there.

    So glad that things are inproving so quickly!

    Maybe this is the time you could start writing that book??

    Keep resting and make those babies grow, grow, grow!!!
