 My husband and I started trying to conceive in October of 2007. We figured it'd be easy since he already has three daughters who were conceived within a month of trying.
Hah. Three IVFs: (1 missed miscarriage at 8 weeks, 1 ectopic pregnancy miscarried at 5 weeks, 1 spontaneous pregnancy that ended in a missed miscarriage at 5 weeks); and 1 FET (a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks.) Which equals: lots of drugs injected, lots of money spent, lots of weight gained. But no live babies. Infertility sucks. RPL sucks ass. So we moved on to using donor eggs, and achieved a healthy, genetically normal pregnancy our first try. After all the drama of the last few years, my pregnancy was essentially uneventful. Henry was born on September 18, 2010 and he is, without a doubt, the best thing that ever happened to me. This blog is in the process of becoming less of an ongoing infertility journal and more of a mommy/radical homemaker/writer blog. Can't wait to see what's next for us.

Yippee!
Congrats! And Merry Christmas Susan!
I am wishing nothing but the absolutely best for you in the coming year. You deserve to have all your dreams come true, including this one.
Keep us posted on the ET–we’ll be here to wait with you!
WOWOWOWOWOW – that is amazing!!!!! 24 – that is so amazing! I am so freaking excited for you!!! I remember some of the details but not all – how many will you transfer and I remember you saying that you did not want any frozen – is that still the case?

Assuming they look good, we will probably transfer 2. Only able to carry a singleton, though, due to my amazingly varicose-ridden uterus, and would likely look seriously at reducing if both took. Which we don’t really expect. If – god willing – I get a baby out of this, we will not be trying for another child, so we will be figuring a way to dispose of any leftover embryos. I’m all for donation, but since it’s not really my genetic material, I’m going to let my husband make the final call on that one. He may just want to toss them out. (I do not, though, want to keep them frozen indefinitely. That way lies madness, I think, for someone like me who loves big families, but has made a decision that a big family is not in my future. Better to do away with the temptation one way or another.)
Listen to me, sounding all optimistic like the biggest worry in my life is that THIS BABY is going to be so wonderful that it will be a huge grief that I can’t have 17 more.
(Oi. Going to be blasted for the jinx of it all, plus the sheer hubris! Universe knows I’ll be beside myself with thanking-the-world every day if I get one healthy little life out of this whole mess!)
But, given my history, the thought of having so many potential tries on ice makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Chances are good that we’re going to be able to freeze something, which means this ISN’T the end of the line if Tuesday’s doesn’t take.
(Please please please let the maturity & fert. report live up to these good beginnings!!!)
Yay! Yay! Yay!
