Happy Friday!! I always love when Friday arrives to signify the start of the weekend. :) Today I had something extra to look forward to - a fun visit with one of my best friends, Sherri. She lives in SC and came back to visit family for the weekend. So my sister, nephew, and I headed down to visit with her at her sister's house. Another one of our friends that lives near them also came to visit with her family. So nice to catch up with Sherri face-to-face and to see everybody else as well. I haven't kicked this congestion yet, so I'm going to try to go to bed and sleep it off!
My husband and I got married in 2005 and tried to start our family back in January 2008. We started our 1st round of in-vitro in December 2010 - which is when this blog was started. Despite a near perfect cycle, it resulted in a negative pregnancy test in February 2011. We were fortunate to get 6 extra embryos from that cycle that were frozen. In March 2011 we started a Frozen Embryo Transfer cycle. Despite another great cycle (on paper), all 6 of our frozen embryos had to be thawed to get 2 good ones for transfer - which failed to result in a pregnancy. In 2012, we took the first half of the year off and then tried a couple rounds of IUI with and without fertility shots - still no baby. In 2013, we did our 2nd round of in-vitro with my sister offering to be our gestational carrier. We ended up transferring 2 embryos into each of us and were blessed to welcome 4 babies in October 2013.
