A Year Ago

Thurs. Sept. 8th 2011, my box of IVF medications arrived for cycle 1. Can't believe it's been almost a year. On our 10th anniversary we transferred, got preg, then mc a few weeks later. Now we will be celebrating our 11th anniversary end of Sept. and still no child to love and fill our home with joy. 

 

I wonder if it will ever happen for us??

 

Still working on our goal of saving $6500 by 2013 so we can see the RI specialist and do a FET.  So far we have been able to save $3000 of that. Still have a ways to go to reach our goal.

 

Does anyone else freak about ttc and mc? I never thought about mc before only about actually getting pregnant but now I fear I will mc like we did again and that is making me so scared as 2013 comes closer to even think about doing a FET.  All I can do is hope Dr. Kwack-Kim will have the answers we need when I get to see her.

Trusting God has a plan and doing my best to keep on this journey he set us upon so many years ago. Praying one day it will be our turn. 

Thankfully I had this year to be able to be with my mom as she went through Breast Cancer. She is all free of cancer and recently returned to work. We had a good time together working on a generation scrapbook while she stayed with us during radiation treatment. I am glad for God's healing and hope that next year we can finally make her a grandma. 

We also adopted a Bengal kitten, nothing we had planned, but he just happened to come into needing us due to some medical issues and we where able to give him a home. He's a sweet little guy and has brought me some joy when I needed it most. 

 

Thank you everyone for your continued prayers and support of our journey. 

 

Summer

The hot heat of summer is here. Having to water our garden several times a day and our lawn is looking brown and crispy. Strawberries are coming soon been fun trying to keep the birds out of them. Rest of our garden is coming along. Already canned rhubarb strawberry jam, elderberry jelly and made many goodies with rhubarb so far this year. The bunnies ate some of our cucumbers so we have to get some new one's this weekend and bunny proof again.

Cd 31 and no sign of af, doubt if femara helped ovulation and with my mom living with us not much of any BDing happened. My mom still has a few more weeks of radiation left. While here she has helped me do some much needed elimination of items on our front porch. Been thankful for the help.

Time sure is slipping by fast this year I keep praying we will be able to save what we need for January and another chance. It's hard to stay positive for sure.
