Hi ladies!!! 
This post is a hard one to make, because it's bitter sweet. I am slowly making my way over to PAIF, but I won't stop coming over here to check on you ladies!Over the past almost 7 months, I have been scared, angry, confused, worried, numb, happy, sick, elated, and every other emotion there is. However, when I was feeling those emotions, I would come here and share with you ladies, and you would encourage me, support me, give me advice, sympathize/empathize with me, and celebrate with me. I cannot express in words what this means to me. I never knew so many ladies in cyber-space would become such an important part of my life. 

I wanted to share that we got to see and hear our little sweat pea's heartbeat yesterday. I tell you this only because I don't want any of you to ever give up hope! I will continue to pray for you, and know God's blessings will be poured out to you! 
I will continue to lurk over here, and keep up with you! 
Thank you for having me on what I consider, the best board on The Bump! 
Love to all!

  • Thank you for such lovely words... You have definitely given me hope!!! I wish you the best, and I hope this group meets up once again over at PAIF. Here's to an uneventful, healthy, happy, world's-most-boring-roller-coaster 9 months!!!!
    BFP #1 - chemical pregnancy, natural miscarriage at 7 weeks on 2/11/12 BFP #2 - u/s at 8 weeks showed a tiny fetal pole measuring at 6 weeks, heart rate slow at 94bpm. Natural miscarriage a few days later on 4/15/12 August 2012- Diagnosed with pancreatic divisum, September - ERCP w/stent placement. Fingers crossed this was the issue! Doc gave the go-ahead to start trying again. BFP #3 - Chemical pregnancy ending a few days after Thanksgiving 2012. Clearly my pancreas was not the issue. Doc told us to try one more time. BFP #4 - Chemical pregnancy ending in January 2013. Now I'm pissed. February- meeting with RE. Test results show I have a low egg reserve and DH has severely messed up sperm. Docs are quite confused as to how we're getting pregnant to begin with. Let the IVF games begin!! April - stim time!! 7R, 6F via ICSI, 5 made it to day 5, 3 look "good enough" to be sent for PGS testing. We are now the proud owners? Parents? Of 2 healthy frozen embryos. June - ugh. Lupron. So much Lupron. And Aygestin, and Estrogen, and Progesterone suppositories. Things are going in to my body every way possible! July 25- scheduled for our first FET. Aaand huge fail. All of the estrogen gave my pancreas a good old fashioned hissy fit. Long story short, moving on to gestational carrier.

    Married August 2012 -- Me (40 yrs old) My husband (45 yrs. old) 

    RE referral from ObGYN in late Jan. 2013 -- Testing Confirms Unexplained IF 

    IUI #"s1 - 3 (Femara + IUI) April - June 2013 - all BFN

      Decided to do IVF... Began stimming on September 10th!  Egg Retrieval 9/20/13.  19 eggs: 6 to mature to freeze after 6 fertilized with ICSI
