My head has been spinning with all of the miracles that have been announced in the IF world. Amazing, shocking, happy stories.
Before I get started though I need to share a very sad story that is on my mind. I have been following Jen for years. She is hilarious and in a completely stalkerish way I feel like she could be my long lost sister. Of course, she doesn't know me or even probably follow my blog but I'm totally cool with that - she is awesome and has made me laugh for years. She did a FET earlier this year and got pregnant with identical girl twins. It was a rocky road as she had a tiny baby and "hog" baby. Then, developed preeclampsia. She delivered them at 32 weeks.....and they lost one of them (the big baby). Such devastation. I keep praying for her tiny baby - that she pulls through and makes it.
Here are my 4 miracle stories to kick off 2011:
SquarePeg - Holy cow this girl has been the mother hen of the IF and SAIF board - she is a PHD and has crunched every estrogen / follicle number possible. She did clomid, IUI's, 4 IVF's with her tons of her own eggs, decided it was her own crappy eggs and then did a DE cycle - and now has a 1 year old son. A few days after Christmas she tested positive. This gave me goosebumps.
R - A long story as well - IVF cycles, DE cycles and has recently moved on to using a gestational carrier. And on New Year's Eve there was a second line. And now has a doubling beta.
Emily - 3 Fresh IVF's (husband had varicocele surgery) and then success with a FET. She has a 1 year old daughter and got the surprise of a positive as well!!!
Busted Baby Maker - Lost her IVF twins around 23 weeks, did a FET that was a BFN. Did a eSET from a fresh cycle and has a son. Didn't ovulate regularly and swears she hasn't been relaxed so that can't be why she is now pregnant!
I cannot imagine how these women feel and I have been praying that these miracles keep growing and growing and growing. I know so many people ask, why not me. Why don't I get my miracle? There are so many deserving people. I will be praying that all of you get your miracles whatever road it may be.
Happy New Year!
I love Jen too. : ) So happy that you're welcoming 2011 with two buns in the oven. : )
