TTC After a Loss

Today many of us will struggle

It is going to be a hard to get through today without crying atleast once.  I've fought back tears in the hour that I've been awake already.  Last year on Mother's Day, we conceived our first angel.  I "should" have my first baby in my arms cooing and smiling and happily celebrating my first Mother's Day.  My second angel "should" be ready just about ready to make his/her appearance.  My third angel "should" be baking away.  I should be happy on this day, but alas...I'm sad and scared.

I didn't mean for this post to be about myself...sorry.  I just wanted to send some strength to all of you to get through this day.  Honor your happy memories today.  Remember the love you felt for your angel when they were with you and all that you did to take care of them.  That's what makes a Mom.  From the moment any of us discovered we were pregnant, we loved that baby and did everything in our power to protect it and care for it.  We are mothers, regardless of if anyone else chooses to recognize it.  Big (((HUGS))) to all that need them today, which I'm sure is every single one of us.

IVF and Natural FET resulted in BFN's and a hole in our wallets

    Lots of testing, all clear with the exception of compound heterozygous for the MTHFR mutation. 

    Cycle 1: Femara, trigger shot, Bravelle added due to slow response = BFN
    Cycle 2: Cancelled due to two cysts =(
    Cycle 3: Femara, Bravelle, trigger shot and IUI = BFP then loss #3
    Cycle 4: Femara, Follistim, trigger shot and IUI = BFP!  EDD: 6/7/14
