My journey through IVF, FET, miscarriage, and motherhood.
About Me
- Lisa
- I'm Lisa. I met my husband, Brian, in high school German class back in '98. We got married in August 2004. We started ttc in July 2008, and welcomed a baby boy, Noah, in April 2010 as a result of IVF w/ICSI. We completed 4 FET cycles between 2012-2013 for baby #2, and succeeded once, only to find out we lost a precious girl around 8 weeks. We then got the surprise BFP of a lifetime on December 21st, 2013 and our daughter, Elodie, was born August 2014! We are so blessed!

YAY!!! I'll be just a few days behind you. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm a few days (maybe a week?) ahead of you. It's not so bad at all! I actually think the combo of stims has been the lesser of evils in terms of side effects than the lupron (other than the multiplicity of needles, which I give myself since my husband is the squeamish one). The home stretch is near!
