Our 3rd IVF cycle

Our 3rd IVF transfer was on 02/18/07.

The difference an hour and twenty minutes made in Aidan's development was AMAZING! I was so glad to see that b/c my biggest fear of this IVF cycle was that the embryo would not live through the thawing process. Unfortunately, this cycle, too, was unsuccessful, and on March 3, 2008, we found out that we were not pregnant.

Our 2nd IVF

This IVF cycle, done on 12/07/07, I actually got pregnant. Here are the pictures from that cycle:

12/19/07 - the day we found out that we were pregnant.

Two days later, we found out that the likelihood of miscarriage was very great due to the results of the blood test, and 8 days later (12/27/08), I miscarried our babies.

National Day of Remembrance

Today is the National Day of Remembrance for pregnancy and infant loss, so here are my pictures of my babies... bear with me as I remember...

For some reason, I'm having struggles with posting pics, so I had to post all my pics in a different way.

My thoughts and prayers go out to each of you that have struggled through infertility, miscarriage, or infant loss. It's definitely a hard road, but we have found God's grace to be sufficient.

We're still trusting that someday, somehow, God will choose to give us a baby to hold here on earth! :-)
