First lupron shot administered!
About Us
- Lauree and Mike
- After an 8 year battle with infertility and countless struggles, our family is finally complete. This blog chronicles the journey it took for us to start and build the family we always wanted. Background on the blog (started in 2012, just days before I found out the embryo transfer for our son worked).... I decided to start a blog after realizing I have only been able to make it through my TWW's (two week waits) with the help of Google and with the openness of other women suffering from infertility sharing their own stories and giving others hope. I have time and time again found my exact symptoms on other women's blogs and felt an overwhelming sense of calmness they provided me. I thought it was time to pay it forward and hopefully provide this same thing to other women on their own journeys.

Meeting with RE from Cleveland Clinic
(My blog started on 1/25/2012, but I have gone back and added our entire journey up until that point.)
Met with Dr. Cynthia Austin of the Cleveland Clinic. Wonderful woman. Put out minds at ease about IVF. Discussed how IVF works and said she wishes all her candidates could be as perfect as me. Decide to being IVF protocol if all the tests come back normal (which they do).
