This is a blog about me, Ally, 44 now...trying to conceive baby #3. After 5 years, several miscarriages and heartaches we finally did it. Ava Lynn was born on January 30th 2009. Now I have two teenagers and a baby! Ally wants three is now complete. It's all gravy from here on in...

It's been a while

For the few people that come to this blog...I'm sorry it's taking me so long to update. Alot has been going on but I'll give you the Cliff notes..

1. Work has kept me busy. Long hours and going back to a full time job has it's challenges. I really love it most of the time.

2. I recently suffered another miscarriage. Seems I get pregnant every Sept (at least for the last 2 years) and m/c shortly thereafter. Physically I am fine, emotionally..well I can do the "why me?" and the "why does this keep happening to me?" but it seems pointless and only God knows the answer.

3. Hubby and I decided to do IVF.We've had many discussions on where to go from here. Do we stop and just accept it?? I knew I wasn't ready to do that but I needed hubby to be on board. I really don't have the time to sit around and "hope" that this will be something that will happen naturally. My track record just plain sucks for that. 4 IUI's failed (one ending in twins m/c) and 3 others. So, we decided on
a round of IVF.


I will be going in to my RE next month to test my ovarian reserve and doing a saline sonogram (sort of like a carwash for my uterus) and then onto BC pills to quiet things down for the IVF.
I'm also going to be starting acupunture/TCM therapy. MY RE thinks it can help boost my egg quality along with my hormones and cycles.
Check out the website. http://www.austinfertilitysolution.com/
I go next week for my evaluation.

I guess it wasn't the Cliff notes after all. LOL


Thanks to all the ladies that just email me/IM to see how I'm doing. I couldn't get through this without you.

Ohhhh, I am really so sorry Ally. I hope you are coping as best as possible. I am wishing you everything I possibly can that is positive for moving on to the I.V.F trail. Acupunture, though I have never done it before I have read and heard is really beneficial in helping to conceiving. I too are here if you need another another to hear you.
Hugs'n'lots of luv...
