Today was the big day! But all of my many hours of studying paid off... I passed the exam!! :) So relieved and proud. Even though I felt prepared, I was definitely nervous. Being a straight-A student back in the day, I definitely did not want to fail this test. My husband said today, "This is the first positive test result we've had in awhile." Ain't that the truth? Hopefully this is a turning point for us. :) If only you just had to study and pass a test to get pregnant, we could've had them years ago!
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.
