- My husband, David, and I had been trying to have a baby since November of 2007. After 'letting things happen', we got the amazing news that we were pregnant in June of 2008. Sadly, that pregnancy ended at 9 weeks with a natural miscarriage. After two more chemical pregnancies, we turned to fertility treatments in 2009. That decision was a disaster, with lousy medical care and poor monitoring. In December of 2009, we made the huge decision to move onto IVF. Things fell into place like magic and we began treatment on January 15, 2010. After a blighted ovum in March, we did a successful FET in June, only to endure another blighted ovum in July. We kept up and underwent another IVF in September/October of 2010 with the arrival of our son, Brogan in July of 2011! After our lovely success (finally) we decided to undertake yet another IVF treatment and hope for a sibling for our little red headed boy. Well... so far it's worked. Our story continues below!
We are due on the same day!! I am 41 - 42 in February - had my blighed ovum in Aug 08 m/c Oct 08. Didn't try any IUI's with d/s in 2009 and started again in '10 - Pregnancy in Feb m/c April and the rest is history...
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the testing. I wanted it due to the fact that I need to be prepared. I live in a community that really has zero infrastructure for a year round community and offers no special needs services or schools etc. It may require selling the house and businesses and moving to a city... but that's a decision to be made in the future.
Merry Christmas.
