Finality of our IVF journey

in Pregnant after IF
It seems so crazy that something that has been such a part of our lives for so long is over.
We got the final fert report from IVF #4 (14R, 13M, 11 F) that 7 embies were frozen! We are thrilled!

Today we are stopping by the RE office on the way to an appointment for Squirt  with a box full of unused meds/syringes/needles to give to others without insurance coverage. I am so happy for it to be out of my house!!!

I am not sad it's over, but it feels strange. Is that weird?
TTC #1 since 12/2010 DH: MFI, cancer survivor Me: Resected septate uterus, lap treated mild endo, tubes open, ovulate on own, autoimmune disease 3 Failed IUI's (2/2012, 4/2012, 6/2012)

    That is a great number!! Congrats I am so happy for you. I completely share the sentiment of it being over and that it feels weird. I have a lot of feelings about My IF journey that someday I will sit down and write out. It is just the closing of a chapter and the beginning of a new one. Congrats!

    IVF #3: ER 12/1 and only 2 retrieved.  1 fertilized with ICSI.  Was planning on transferring one fresh and one frozen....fresh was only 14 cells at day 5...CANCELLED and devastated due to 5cm blood filled cyst in ovary and blood in uterus.

    That's wonderful news! While I'll miss the people at my RE's office, I won't miss the long drive or spending my life savings! I am certainly ready to move on and never have to take anymore fertility meds!
