Greg and I were talking about it this morning after we got the result. There are just so many places it could still go wrong that we almost afraid to be happy. When I got pregnant with Lizzie it was after 2 IVFs, a frozen embryo transfer, a change of clinics and a final IVF. We were just so shocked and excited to see a positive hpt the we didn't let all the other hurdles get in the way of our happiness. I knew that miscarriages weren't uncommon but I believed I was one of those women it never happened to and it didn't with Lizzie. Other than a few minor complaints, my pregnancy with her was fairly easy. But then I got pregnant naturally in the spring and I miscarried 9 weeks later. So, now I know personally how it feels for things to go wrong. So while I'm happy about the positive test, I just need to take it step by step. The next hurdle is the blood test on Tuesday.
I am a working mom with a toddler and twins. My daughter was born after multiple invasive infertility treatments but fortunately it only took one IVF cycle for the twins. This blog is mainly about balancing home, work and hubby with a little infertility thrown in.
