About Us

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.

5w3d Beta #4

It's over.  Only 945.  They think it's ectopic since it needed to be 1400 to match the 54 hour doubling time of the previous betas.  I kinda just want to die right about now.   Sorry for the sad news everyone.  All of your prayers meant so much to me.

  1. I'm so sorry. I've been checking your blog frequently and praying for you guys. I know this is such horrible news but it's not the end of your journey. …"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

  2. I am so sorry. You have been on such a hell of a roller coaster these past two weeks. I had a similar pregnancy earlier this year (rocky betas, confusing ultrasound, thought we lost the baby one week, miraculous heartbeat the next week, dead the next), and the worst part was getting my hopes up and thinking our prayers were answered, only to have it all crushed again. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Praying for healing and peace for your heart.

  3. So sorry to hear. Love the quote from Ria. Every moment of IVF is a roller coaster, even when you don't get any positive blood test. hold your little man and thank God for him

  6. I am so sorry to hear this Lauree. Sometimes it just doesn't make sense and is so hard to understand why things don't work out the way that we want. I will continue to pray for you.
