About Us

My photo
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.

Immune Testing Blood Draw

Mike and I had our blood drawn yesterday for our immune tests.   He had 1 vial taken.  I had like 15 vials taken.  As the woman was entering my testing into the computer it even totalled like $1,700!  My copay was $50.  Thank the Lord I have insurance!  Although she said the insurance still might come back and not pay the whole thing.  Of course not.  Anyways, I eagerly await the results!  

I had the following tested:

TSH
Prolactin
AntiBeta 2 glycoprotein antibodies
Anticardiolipin antibodies
Lupus anticoagulant
Chromosomes
Hemoglobin AIC
Microsomal antibodies

Mike had the following tested:

Chromosome analysis
