I was on this board for 2 1/2 years. I'm happy to report that our baby girl was born in April and she is a happy and healthy baby.
My Infertility Resume:
NSUH- 4 IUI's resulting in 3 BFN and 1 Ectopic (emergency surgery to remove right tube). After my IUI's we moved onto IVF. 1 fresh transfer and 2 frozen.. all resulting in Chemical Pregnancies.
I took a vacation and decided as much as I loved the Dr's at NSUH I had to follow my intuition and move onto another practice. After reading up on different Dr's, we decided to try Dr Braverman. My first IVF fresh transfer resulted in our BFP.
I remember being on this board and reading the success stories and wondering deep down inside if I would ever be one ... and here I am.
Girls - keep fighting the fight! You WILL get there. I continue to keep all the couples out there who are struggling in my prayers. Nobody knows or understands the battle unless you've been through it and I will never forget it. It has shaped the person I am today. It taught me that I was much stronger than I even knew. It taught me patience. It brought my husband and I even closer than we already were. Most of all it showed me the true miracle of life and I will never take for granted the fact that I'm a mother and that I've been blessed with this gift.
On a medical note. After all my blood tests with Dr B - we discovered 4 factors with my blood (the very common MTHFR and a few others). These factors are all hereditary on your maternal side. Sure enough - my mother was tested and has them. I have now passed them onto my daughter. There are certain precautions you need to take with some of the factors - one being - no birth control pill (blood clots)! I'm grateful that I found this out. I never would've known.
I'm so glad I read your post today! I'm at the end of my 2ww after a fet and feeling very hopeless and defeated. I hope some day I can post my success story. Congratulations and thanks for sharing your happy ending.
Congrats again on beautiful Sofia!!!! Thank you for posting and sharing your success story! I know I would cling to these happy posts on my worst days.
