When my phone rang on July 5th at 10:30AM, I knew it would either be the end or the beginning of something wonderful. I don't even think I heard the nurse talking telling me who she was and explaining my levels until she said "I have good news for you!" I think my heart stopped at that moment. I was so shocked and surprised. It was by far the best feeling ever!
I've noticed that the infertility part of my life will never go away. Although I'm crossing over into the motherhood side, I still cry when I read about people that are debating about whether to do IVF or who have gone through several rounds of IVF. My heart aches for them as I too have been in their shoes and I know the hurt and agony of wanting a child.
Here is a photo of how I (sort of) overcame my fear of needles. I had to do 68 days of injections!
Bill and I also started a "Wall of Hope" on our bathroom mirror. I had many days where I was negative and didn't think it would work. So we wrote on post-it notes encouraging sayings to look at everyday and help keep us positive! I'm not sure why it won't rotate so just tilt your head to the left to see it! :)
Here are our two beautiful embyros that were transferred.
And here is Bill and I right after the embryos were transferred.
Again, I just want to thank everyone for all of their support. I can't wait to update everyone on our new journey......Baby Hale!!
