What a great journey this IVF cycle has been. Aside from being very sore from the retreival everything has gone so smoothly. Today October 21st we went in for our transfer. We were told by the lab tech that we now had 6 eggs instead of 5. We transferred the two best lookings ones. They are a...
Grade A 8 cell embryo
Grade B 7 cell embryo
We are culturing 3 out to blastocyst stage, and they will be frozen for future cycles should this second attempt not work and/or we want to have more children.
Thank you so much everyone from the bottom of our hearts for your support. Some people ask, why would you share something so personal, with your friends, and family? Well....if our story helps one woman struggling with infertility, reassures her she's not alone, and provides a wealth of information, gives her hope and courage....well then I've done my part. No one should ever have to struggle with this, and it was from other women going thru the same thing that gave me strength and courage, and I just wanted to pass that same support on!
Thank you again everyone God Bless!
What is with the Pineapple reference?
The reason this baby is referred to as our little "Pineapple" is because of the nickname Bob gave me after we started IVF. Bob said because I had endured so much, and was so strong I was like a "pineapple". The outer shell of a pineapple is strong, stubborn, hard headed, but once you peel back those layers it's just a mushy, sweet fruit inside. So immediately when we found out we were pregnant the ladies on my board started calling the baby our like Pineapple. So there you have it, how the nick name Pineapple and TTP (Teeny Tiny Pineapple) came to be.
Why a blog?
I wanted to share our Journey of IVF and TTTC with others. It is and was a long difficult road, and I feel that if I can help even one woman find comfort, give suppport, and make a difference even just woman who is going thru infertility or IVF than I have done something wonderful. I've brought a sense of understanding and comfort to someone else. To my fellow TTTCR's I pray for us all, and we will have our babies.....
Our Dream
Some dream of big houses
Or shiny new cars,
Ours is to someday
Hold a baby that’s ours
Some dream of more money
To hoard and to keep,
Mine is to someday
Rock my baby to sleep.
Some dream of careers
In buildings so tall,
His is to someday
Toss his kid a baseball.
Some dream of great power
To be strong and tough,
Ours is to someday
Have a child to love.
Some dream of things
Such as silver and gold
Ours is of the day
Our child we’ll hold.
