    • About Me

      Married 5+ years to a wonderful man who is the love of my life. I have a 4-legged baby named Roxie and I also teach 1st grade. I adore being a dog mom but I've hoped and prayed that we have a family that includes the 2-legged kind of babies! ;-) We've been trying to get pregnant for 3-1/2 years, seeing an RE for help 3 years this past December. Our obstacle is that my DH is handicapped from a spinal cord injury (SCI). He is pretty mobile, it could be worse but a common result is low sperm count/quality. That seems to be our obstacle although I also had a fibroid that our first RE said wasn't a problem but our current decided to remove this past summer. We've tried 6 IVF's 4 fresh cycles, 2 frozen, all of which failed until this last try when we finally got the BFP we had been praying for! Now that I'm pregnant, I decided to join to get a little support from others going through similar experiences with pregnancy after a long battle with infertility.

    • Close Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility

      Recently got news that I'm pregnant after dealing with a 3-1/2 year fertility battle. We did IVF 6 times, 4 fresh, 2 frozen and this last fresh transfer took. Now that I'm entering into the great unknown of pregnancy after so many years of dissappointment, I'm looking for some support.

      Treatments

      In Vitro Fertilization Working / Worked
      Eventually...we did 4 IVFs which also got us 2 FETs so after 6 tries altogether we got pregnant.
