We have just now booked our flights for our mid-October cycle. Everything is starting to feel real again. We are actually doing this agian!! I have a great positive feeling about this second cycle. It *will* work, I know it!!

Turns out this blog is just as much for me as it is for the general IG public (every few months I feel compelled to re-read my whole journey - almost surreal sometimes, lol). ANYWAYS - Just an update to say all continues to go very well. For awhile, I...

I have heard back from my Nurse & our October cycle is going ahead! I am so excited! I have a really good feeling about this and I am hoping and praying that I will be a '2nd Hit Wonder', and that this cycle will bring us our daughter. I am...

Finally, 6 weeks after my 'negative' beta reading, AF has arrived. I am so happy that we still might actually be able to cycle again in October. I almost can't believe that it has taken so long to get to this point - considering I last cycled...

Obviously my January cycle didn't work out . I got a faint BFP around day 7-8 past transfer, but it never got much darker. My beta was a 9 (Dr. P actually called to tell me the bad news himself) and I had to keep doing my meds until it went down to...

It has been a year since my little princess was defrosted & shot up into my uterus (sounds like poetry, right?). That day we sat nervously waiting to see how the embryos looked after being defrosted. I decided that morning to tell them I wanted to...

As the twins approach 4 months old, I can sincerely say we are loving every minute! Our boys are crazy about their sisters and we are really enjoying watching all 4 of them together. The girls are delightful and cheery and have been so easy on us, we...

I had another Beta on Monday and I am happy to report that it is now...2 !!!! I am going to contact my nurse and see if a beta of "2" is as good as zero - I really have no idea, but I hope so! I will report back, but for now, I am happy that...

I had my telephone consultation with Dr P last night. We talked mainly about my the management of my ectopic & how he needs to see my beta go back down to zero. I will be going in to see my local Dr again for another blood draw and if my HCG is still...

I have spent the last few weeks researching supplements to take in preparation for my next IVF cycle. In addition addition my regular Pre-Natal (Sanatogen & Omega3), DHEA (which Michaela shippped to me from the US) & Royal Jelly/Bee Pollen, I...

It is now 2 weeks, well 16 days, post surgery and my stitches are healing nicely. Another blood draw has shown that my numbers are still around 2000, *sigh*, so I go back in another 2 weeks where I am hoping to see a big fat zero measurement. I think...

I got my Beta back today, one week post surgery, and my numbers have now dropped to below 3000 (down from "over 15,000"). This is good news as I was worrying about the risk of further surgery had the numbers continue to climb. For those wondering...

Some how the info got lost. So I dug around and found it. He did the diet 100%, he also abstained for 4 days before attempt. He was forced to be cold a lot and iced his balls. For supplements he took Zinc (raises testosterone) 50mg -One a day no more...

After reading the replies to my previous post & blog update, I became increasingly concerned about my high beta numbers and the possibility of an ectopic. The Early Pregnancy Unit at my local hospital had instructed me to come back for an additional...

After my 3rd beta, it appeared things were not progressing as they should and it was assumed that I was most likely suffering from a blighted ovum. I continued to have beta draws and then went on to miscarry (or what I thought was a miscarriage) at 7...
