One Year Ago Today(Egg Retrieval)

One year ago today we had our egg retrieval for IVF/ICSI 2. It was a rough time, my second time through. Once home I got sick and passed out and sent Mr. S into a major worry. But, we got 11 eggs, 5 fertilized, we transferred 2 (froze zero, sad) and from that we got our amazing, lovely and wonderful Acorn!
Just the other day I said to her, "you were our lucky egg."

I am unbelievably grateful. Thankful that we decided to go for one more try. Amazed that it worked(despite bad odds) and that we are now home with a very active, engaged, challenging and rewarding daughter.
Yay IVF!!!

  2. Wow, a year. It's been a long year -- a lifetime, really. :-) What a miracle to think of all the events and choices that brought Acorn to you.

  5. You and your little acorn give me hope. We're contemplating IVF #2 this summer. Hoping we get our happily ever after too. Love the pictures of acorn. She's just beautiful!

    Thank you for this post - I am getting ready for my first IVF/ICSI cycle now and I am really hoping that I will be in the same place as you a year from now!
