Thank you all so, so much for all of the cards, prayers, messages, gifts, thoughts, good vibes, facebook messages and all around love!
I am obviously really happy to be done with this treatment, but I'd be lying if I said I feel like breathing a sigh of relief. In reality, I'm pretty terrified that it's not really over. That it will come back, that I'll have to do it again. That cancer will ultimately claim me. Obviously Meghan's death took my breath away.
It's also a bummer that I feel like crap. I mean, I would love to go out and eat a fancy meal and drink a bunch of wine, but instead I am in my jammies and just ate some pho. I did have a glass of champagne though 
Anyway, here we are... thanks again - so much - to all of you. I really cannot thank you enough!

Congratulations! Your strength blows me away.
I'm especially in awe of your running. Anytime I don't feel like running I will be reminding myself of you.
Congratulations! Your strength as you kick this in the a$$ is truly amazing and inspiring. Sam and Liam are the same age and I have NO idea how I would have dealt with something like this while having a young toddler. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!
Hugs!
Your experience has been a lesson to me, in several ways. Most of all, for me, it helps me put things in perspective. Your attitude is amazing, even during the tough times, you keep fighting.
My continued good thoughts remain with you and your family.
My thoughts aren't quite coming together this morning, sorry. I'm still working on my first cup of coffee.
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
LO #1 - 1 unmedicated/self-monitored IUI w/ donor sperm.
LO #2 - 1 m/c, 2 BFNs, 4th IUI worked (unmedicated/self-monitored with new donor sperm).
Life is beautiful!
Because we're fancy like that.
Congratulations on finishing your last round!
I will continue to pray for your continued good health.
You are a fighter and have got that adorable little boy of yours to help you fight along whatever may come!!
What a huge mile stone to hit!
I can't wait until you have some great follow up appointments that hopefully put your mind more at ease.
And there's nothing wrong with a delayed celebration once you're feeling better!
Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
I am thankful every day for my miracle after infertility.
And thrilled to be pregnant again after FET!
You go girl!
