So we are doing IVF. And soon. I'm going in next Tuesday to meet with my RE to discuss everything and get started.
WHOA!
This is something we've been thinking about and talking about for awhile now and I didn't say anything because we weren't sure, but we just decided to do it today. The thought of sitting out through another one of DH's seasons and being unable to cycle for 7+ months makes me literally sick. I can't even imagine. This way, if the first IVF doesn't work, we hopefully would have a frozen embryo that so I could do a FET during his season.
Ahhhhhhhh...I can't believe it. I always said no IVF. And, honestly, if things weren't exactly the way they are right now, we probably wouldn't be doing it. But, well they are and we are!
TI, IUIs, IVF = c/ps and BFNs
Re: Um, huge change of plans...
5 REs + 3 surgical hysteroscopies for septum/lap + 3 failed IUIs
IVF w/ICSI/AH & acu = BFP!, unexplained spontaneous m/c @ 8w2d (our little girl),
FET w/acu = BFP!, B/G twins!, lost MP @19w, dx w/funneling cervix @20w,
twins nearly lost to IC @21w, saved by rescue cerclage, 17P & 16w of bedrest
Our twins born @36w4d via CS when A came foot first
Thankful for every day
After 5.5 years of loss, heartbreak, and empty arms, our dreams were fulfilled through the beautiful, selfless gift of adoption. We are amazingly blessed!
