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.

Hi there, sorry for the delay in an update. It seems I'm not in much of a mood to go online, could be because of the pain that I feel when I sit for a while. Anyway I am 33 weeks PG...wow!! I can't believe I've come this far. Things have been going well but in the last 2 weeks my cervix has been shortening. It is .66 and as the midwife put it I "can go at any minute". Knowing that I might possibly go into labor has been pretty scary. So much for planning for things. I'm back on bedrest and try my best not to stress about anything. I'm hoping the twins will stay put until at least week 36, 37 would be great. I know at this point things would be okay with them I just don't want to think about how tiny they will be and how they will be in NICU. I cry when I think about it....moving on to another topic because the water works have started.

My shower was on the 18th...it was great. It was so nice seeing family and friends that I haven't seen in awhile. We got so much stuff that I really don't have to buy them anything, just some preemie outfits. I purchased their go home outfit yesterday (yes, I know I'm not suppose to be shopping but I changed my mind as to what I wanted them to wear). If I can find the connection cord for my camera I will post a pic. Of course when they arrive there will be pics.

Pain is starting so I will end now. Send lots of sticky vibes my way.

When Nature Is Not Enough
IVF will hopefully bring us the miracle we are waiting for.
