@ Mia's House

2006 has been a crazy and amazing year for me and my new husband. Besides finally getting married after 6 years together and buying our first house, we are now trying to have a baby via IVF. It's a lot to go through in less than a year, but so far it's been like a dream come true. This is my journal to share with you. Please feel free to post comments to my blog. For those who know who we are, comments are public, please don't post real names to protect everyone's privacy. Enjoy!

Negative

Unfortunately our IVF was not a success. The embryos did not implant. Dr. S thinks that the embryos and uterine lining may have just not been compatible. Unfortunately most first time IVFs are not successful. All is not lost though. We are due to start a "frozen embryo transfer" (FET) as soon as we are ready. JP and I think October or November might be best. That will give me time to get healthier, clean my system of all the hormones and get my uterus in better shape. I'm looking into some natural remedies, maybe acupuncture to get my body more receptive to pregnancy and to hopefully keep me stress free. For now I'm just going to take a little break and enjoy some things I've had to avoid during my cycle. I'd like to paint a little in the house and help do the landscaping in the backyard, do things a pregnant woman can't do.

Don't worry about me. I'm still positive. I really think our FET is going to work for us. Dr. S did tell us that often FET works better than IVF for many women. I'm still very hopeful.
