Completely shameless plug :)

in Pregnant after IF
So....I debated posting this, but I'm really excited about this project that I've become involved in and I recently found out that The Bump has also become involved, so I thought a shameless plug would be ok. Hope you ladies don't mind. I've heard so many things on these boards about bad experiences with docs (OBs in general) and it makes me sad as someone who is on both sides of the story. I've gotten involved with a group of fabulous people who are trying to shift the paradigm of what medicine has become and try and bring it back to the way it used to be...personal. The Bump has expressed interest in this project, and they will be publishing a story about it in their magazine. What I was told is that it will "hit the stands" on January 19th. I invite you all to check it out. I think that if more people were aware that this is even an option out there, it might create all the noise that the medical community needs to hear to realize that we need to come together to change the face of medicine and put the patient-doctor relationship back in the forefront where it belongs!
Sorry for the PSA, but I think this is exciting news for all of us!!

Starting IVF #2 for Feb 2013
Follistim/Menopur/Ganirelix
Cancelled mid-cycle due to high P4 levels early on.
OCPs again for IVF 2.5 mid-March. IVF 2.5 transferred two "gorgeous" 5-day blasts and BFFN. Even REI is baffled
On indefinite hold until a huge stroke of serendipity led me to IVF 3 May 2014
Testing found positive cardiolipins/APS, now on lovenox and intralipid infusions
Transfer of 2 5-day blasts and (FINALLY) BFFP!! 1st ultrasound shows two sacs and two HB, but one is sluggish, almost expecting vanishing twin Subsequent ultrasound confirmed vanishing twin, but my other Little critter looks fantastic!
