I don't come one the bump at all much anymore but saw this and just wanted to add myself to a success story. I had POF at 24 due to high dose cancer tx (chemo) for lymphoma at 23. My ovaries became fried from the tx and I wasn't able to bank. Told because of the cancer and it's aggressiveness that it was my "eggs or me" My DE cycle success happened on the first try and I delivered two beautiful babies at 34w,2d. They are almost 11 months now and I love them with all my heart! I am forever grateful to the young lady that decided to help me... I have the two most beautiful little ones and they truly are the best thing that has happened to me <: Good luck to all of those that choose this path!!
Twins born at 34w2d, Allison, 3lb,4oz-Ethan, 4lb7oz, both 16 1/2 inches. Out of Difficulties Grow Miracles
Welcome!! Congrats on your twins! They are adorable. Thank you for sharing your success. It's very encouraging to newbies like me
DD conceived with no issues, but born at 33 weeks due to PPROM loss #1-06/2010 loss #2-2/2011 loss #3-5/2011 07/2011 dx with a Balanced Translocation 9/2011-decided on domestic infant adoption 10/2011-signed with an agency and getting ready for homestudy 12-2012-after being with our agency over a year and only shown to EM once we decided to talk with RE about DEIVF. Thru a crazy sequence of events we decided to go for it and we picked a donor MUCH quicker than anticipated 1/13/2013-started lupron with anticipated transfer in mid Feb. ER 2/15 resulted in 15 eggs/10M/6F with ICSI. 2/18 transferred 1-8cell and 1-9cell embie. Snuggle in little embies. positive on HPT 6dp3dt. Could this really be IT?!?! Beta 14dp3dt=2440.
