So, my last entry multiple people said they hoped I would still update. I wasn't going to in hopes of preventing hurting anyone still going through a hard time, but I thought I would share our...

I can't believe I'm about to write this as I vowed to never be this person on this site, but this is pregnancy related and I have skipped about a thousand of these posts in my 3 years of being on...

This two week wait was another rough one. I almost fully convinced myself that this ultrasound was going to show an empty sac just like it did the last time I was pregnant....2 years ago. I had some...

2386!! So doubled in my book! I can't believe they aren't having me come in one more time for blood work but they're not. I'm a little disappointed. When I miscarried 2 years ago I did 3 betas. I...

I was hoping that my beta would be at least 300.....and it was 1241!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I started crying in the middle of TJ Maxx when I got the call!! My...

I got called into work today. I work in a recovery room so we keep pregnancy tests on my unit. I had zero intentions of testing because I'm only 6dp5dt, but as we all know I have no self control! It...

Well today was quite the long day. DH and I left the house at 6:45 this morning to get to Towson, MD for our transfer at 9:30. They wanted us there a half hour early, so our actual transfer time was...

So far all 14 continue to fertilize. Our transfer is at 10am tomorrow morning in Maryland. I was happy and a little upset about the timing. We were told that they typically always do the transfers in...

That all too familiar part of the journey is back again. Our donor had her egg retrieval yesterday. They retrieved 43 eggs, 40 which were viable, and we received 20!! I could not believe it. We found...

Well, here we go again ladies. DH and I are on day 6 of our last attempt at IVF. We chose our egg donor and sperm donor a few months ago and were patiently waiting for me to get my period and go on...

Well, I made it without testing again. The test results can go either way and I will be none the wiser. I have been having a lot of cramping. So much so, that I was convinced that I was going to see...

Well I'm already totally in my head. Yesterday I got all sad after seeing DH's best friend post pics of him and his newborn on fb. I seriously need to stay away. I told myself it's not fair that it...

The transfer was a success! We transferred one embryo that apparently was a grade B/C to begin with. The embryologist mentioned that grade C embryo’s don’t thaw well. There were cells surrounding...

My second apt went great this morning! My lining is now 10 and my follicle is 18. I'll take my trigger shot tonight and start estrace and endometrin in a few days. I'll start the lovenox injections...

I had my first appointment yesterday. My lining looks great at 7 and I have a follicle looking rather large. I have never done a "natural" cycle like this before. We are just letting my body do it's...
