Oh dear...I had high hopes of having a couple of recent posts written to make my blog a bit more interesting for people stopping by for ICLW. Guess this will have to do! WELCOME!
My husband T and I began trying for a baby in February 2010, thinking (like most couples) that it would only be a matter of time. Many many months, a surgery to repair a uterine septum and remove a polyp, 3 months of Clomid, 3 more months of Clomid with IUI's and finally an IVF have gotten us where we are today...expecting twins in June. It's been a crazy ride! We had horrible fertilization in our IVF (2 out of 12 mature eggs fertilized, even with ICSI, despite no sperm issues) and then had a terrible first trimester full of full-on bleeding episodes where each time I expected to be losing these babies. Luckily they have held on and tomorrow I will be 18 weeks! Hard to believe. Now to just make it through at least another 18 weeks or so without any more drama!
As you can see from my lack of recent posts, I am struggling a bit as a "pregnant after infertility" blogger. I am going to try my best to get back into the swing of things. Please comment so I can check out your story as well!
You sure did have a terrible start. Hoping that each day of your pregnancy from here on out gets better :)
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear that you are 18 weeks!!! Sending so many thoughts that these next 18 are calm and stress free!!! :)
ReplyDelete18 weeks already? Wow! I would love to read a little more about how things are going and how you are preparing for the double joy that will soon join your life. Good luck for the next 18 or so weeks!
ReplyDeleteHi from ICLW. Hope that your pregnancy goes smoothly from here on out.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do get back in the blogging swing of things because I've always liked reading your posts! I've often wondered what would become of my blog if/when my IVF finally works
ReplyDeleteI've struggled to find a 'place' blogging after IF as well. Congrats on your pregnancy. I hope the next 18wks go smoothly. #ICLW35
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! Congrats on the twins!
ReplyDeleteHappy ICLW! Thanks for stopping by. Congrats on the little munchkins! Hope that you've turned a corner and things are nothing but rosy from here on out.
ReplyDeleteOnly 2 fertilized, but so happy for you that they both stuck around! Sounds like you've had a rough start, but maybe that just means it will be a smooth finish :) Good luck on the rest of your pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteTime flies, doesn't it? I hope you find your blogging groove! Happy ICLW!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 18 weeks! It took me a bit to feel comfortable blogging after getting pregnant, but I finally came to the full realization that it was my blog and I needed somewhere to continue to get my thoughts out there and save the memories. I hope you'll find the same for yourself and do what makes you feel best.
ReplyDeleteHere from ICLW.

ReplyDeleteGood job making it to 18 weeks! I hope the rest of your pregnancy is blissfully uneventful. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
