    • About Me

      I have been married to my wonderful husband for 3 years. We have been trying to conceive for about the same time as we both assumed we had problems. We have done 4 IUI's with injectables with no success and had 2 IVF cycle's cancelled due to poor response. We are getting ready to start IVF # 3 in January 2009. We have a dog, Sadie, that we love and treat as our child. We live in suburb of Kansas City and enjoy taking vacations in tropical locations!

      From albgray Wednesday

      Shanny, I can always count on you to bring a smile to my face. So, thank you! I'm just utterly frustrated with this whole car accident thing and my back injury. Went to the dr and he said it could take a while (several weeks to months) to heal. He wants me to do physical therapy 3x/week for a month. With all this, I don't see us being able to do IVF (or TTC) any time soon. I know it's not the end of the world, but this sure throws a kink into my infertile life. On a more positive note, I hope you are doing well. You are so stinkin' cute with your bump. :)
