Our History...

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to read my blog. My name is Mel. I live in North Carolina. I am 33 years old, & happily married for almost 5 years. Last year, after trying to conceive on our own with no results, we made an appointment to see a reproductive endocrinologist in our area. (For the record, we LOVE our doctor). After many tests, and finally, laparscopic surgery (which was not pleasant), I was diagnosed with endometriosis and blocked fallopian tubes. In Vitro Fertilization is our only hope of conceiving. We went thru our first IVF cycle in October 2011. From what we were told, it was 'textbook'. Everything went according to plan, & my body totally cooperated and responded like it should. We transferred 2 5-day embryos on October 24th. Our first pregnancy test was positive. What an awesome blessing from God!!! We went to our first ultrasound at around 6.5 weeks. Our 'baby crocodile' had a little beating heart...it was awesome! At the next ultrasound, no beating heart...miscarriage. This Friday, we are transferring 2 of our 4 frozen embryos. That's where we are.
