It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.

    THIS exactly!  These anniversaries are the worst.  I celebrated 4 years this past March.  I hope those cramps go away and you feel better soon.

    TTC since 3/07. IVF#1 = canceled. IVF#2 = 0% fertilization. IVF#3 = BFN. IVF#4 = c/p.

    I am so sorry, worms.  No one should ever have to celebrate that anniversary.  :-(  I only hope the best, most wonderful things happen for you.  You will NOT be celebrating this anniversary next year.

    After 1 IUI, 3 IVF's with CGH/CCS testing, 10 early miscarriages, and lots of tears and frustration, we are moving on to Domestic Infant Adoption!  We are so excited to see what the future holds.
