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.

Injections underway!

Mike is in Vegas for a work conference so my mom gave me the first (of hopefully many) progesterone injections!  The transfer is just 5 days away!  I started doxycycline last night as well.  I start medrol tonight.  Things are happening now!  :)

My plan for next week is to transfer monday, take tuesday off, and work from home wednesday - friday.  I can get a ton done while still taking it easy to let the little guy and girl burrow in!

Trasnfer #8 here we come!

  1. Hi Lauree! I'm just now following your blog. I found this while looking for information on IVF. My husband and I are just now beginning the infertility treatment road and your blog is helpful. Thank you!

  2. My situation is very different. I was very young when I had my kiddos and was going thru a nasty divorce 10 years ago so I had a tubal ligation - cut and burned. I didn't think that I would eventually fall in love and marry someone who has no children, besides my handsome little men, of course :) I can barely concentrate on anything more than IVF and that everything goes and STICKS to plan ;)

    1. The good news is that your prognosis with IVF is very good since you had more than one past success!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    3. I'm not going to lie... I'm a bit nervous about self injections. I'm scared that I'll leave air in the needle and kill myself. I know that sounds stupid (lol) but I really am! I don't mind that it will hurt, I am afraid I will just do it "wrong". I'm sorry if that sounds dramatic, this is all just so new to me. I'm actually considering asking some nurse friends if they can help me out. Did you feel like that when you first started?
