You may wonder why I'm not more hopeful given that this is our first IVF cycle. It's just that I'm scared to be. I've read the journal articles, the blogs and a kazillion forum posts. So now I know how much can go wrong and how often a cycle doesn't work. I wonder if the TWW, indeed the whole IVF process, was easier before the internet? Hmmm.
We went to hospital yesterday and visited my sister-in-law and her new baby boy. Last September she decided that she'd like to get pregnant again and 6 weeks later she was. 8.5 months later we welcome Baby A.
Baby A is adorable and very, very small and holding him made my heart burst. I want to be holding our baby in 8.5 months time.
P.S. My nipples hurt. It's probably the progesterone my body's making, isn't it?

I'm a happy wifey to the Big Guy, a researcher, a worker, a mum and a step-mum. tBG and I started trying for a baby together in Feb 2008 (as soon as we got married) but we got diagnosed with secondary infertility in Jan 2009 and I got hit with a premature peri-menopause diagnosis in early 2010. We did 5 IVF cycles between May 09 and June 10. None of them worked. Full blown menopause at 42. Oh, and I'm also in the process of finishing my PhD. Unsurprisingly, my head is way too full so some of the dross is spilling out here.

PS. It was 4 years between the premature menopause diagnosis and hitting post-menopause. Whoa.
At the end of the IVF road in total we'd ... ~ done 5 stim cycles ~ grown 14 follicles ~ made 8 eggs ~ created 6 embryos ~ had 2 transfers ~ seen lots of BFNs ~ seen 1 chemical BFP
