I’m sure most people want to know why or how I’m even able to share my story. The answer is simple. I personally never wanted to share something like this…but God wanted me to. This blog was initially just a way for me to share my journey through infertility because it’s such a taboo topic, … [Read more…]
Whew..I hear some say that God won’t give you more than you can bear, but Lord, I don’t know how much more I can take. I think, however, that he will give you more than you can bear ALONE. That’s why we aren’t supposed to carry these burdens alone. We’re supposed to give them over to … [Read more…]
Not sure how to even start this post. Not really sure how I have the strength to write this post. We went in for our followup ultrasound and found that baby B’s sac was empty as we saw the week before…and baby A no longer had a heartbeat. I no longer had a viable pregnancy. … [Read more…]
This past week has been a good week but kind of stressful too. The good parts were that we were able to see a good, strong heartbeat when we went for our ultrasound and the baby is measuring right where it should be. We also went to visit my family members in North Carolina and … [Read more…]
I still can’t believe that I’m pregnant. I think I wake up everyday and say that too myself. It’s so surreal. So far my only symptom has been exhaustion and using the bathroom more than my norm (which was already a lot). I have my moments where I feel nauseous but I haven’t had any … [Read more…]
I CANNOT believe I’m actually writing this…WE’RE PREGNANT!! God has answered our prayers. I felt like I would NEVER get to say those words but I am now able to say them! This feeling is surreal. All of the emotional ups and downs, all of the money, the doctors visits, tests, tears, prayers were worth … [Read more…]
We had our transfer on 11/5/15 and everything went well! I’m so excited about this cycle. I’ve read so many different things about FET cycles and how they tend to have higher success rates than fresh cycles. I also did acupuncture with this cycle. Of course nothing guarantees that it will work, but I’ve done … [Read more…]
One of the ways that I help myself “get over” disappointments is by finding something “new” to distract myself which is part of the reason I decided to go ahead and jump right into another cycle. Of course I prayed and asked God to comfort me because this was such a hard time. We wanted this … [Read more…]
I’m devastated. Stanley is devastated. I’m not pregnant. All the money that was spent. The emotional investment that was made and it didn’t work. Of course no one can give an exact reason for why it didn’t work but my doctor assumes it was a chromosomal issue with the embryo. He says that it’s rarely … [Read more…]
Okay, although the title of the post is “embryo transfer”, I think I should probably provide other important updates as well. Egg Retrieval: So my last post was the day before my egg retrieval but I haven’t provided any updates since then so let’s talk about how the egg retrieval actually went. The day of the retrieval … [Read more…]
