Location: H Town, Texas, United States

38 y/o married to my best friend since 9/12/1998; We met in 1992. Married in 1998; I'm a '91 graduate of the Univ. of Houston. Working on Masters degree in French Literature when I met the love of my life! He was in law school. I left my job in 1996 to work w/him when he opened his Law firm. Married in 1998. Working on our "family" diligently & actively since June 2004; 2 miscarriages, one Sept 2004 and another Dec 2004; Break from TTC per doctor's orders in Jan 2005; resumed family planning once all genetic testing was completed. March 2005 BFN; April 2005 BFN! May 2005 BFN! June 2005? Doc had "the" talk with us, if no bfp this cycle, it's on to IVF --test tube baby for us? maybe! Update: July 2005 underwent 1st IVF cycle, with SUCCESS! We conceived two beautiful little boys, born March 30, 2006 via emergency c-section. I am now wallowing in the joys of early motherhood. That is, lack of sleep, fatigue. My compensation? Smiles from the babies in the middle of the night... 11/14/2006: Babies are now 7 1/2 months old and I couldn't be more happy!

2 words

So, two words say it all. I am not deterred though. Just another fork in the road that I need to maneuver. Tuesday, call Doc with news. The rest is in his hands.

My expected protocol will be:
birth control pills to level out the playing field
followed by lots of

Stimulating drugs to fatten up those little huevitos of mine
intermittently sprinkled with

Blood tests & ultrasounds a plenty
proceeding to the next level

Retrieval of the ripe eggs from the basket(s)
Quickly place the goods in a petri dish for

Fertilization/karyotyping/grading of the eggs
After 3-5 days, select # and gender of the potential kiddos then

Embryo transfer back into the ol' nest
Wait, wait wait..


Seems easy enough, should do the job. Now, to meditate and pray. and Maybe stand on my head, bounce and chew gum at the same time, twiddle my fingers, twinkle my toes....get the point?
