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.

Bad Retrevial

Well I just don't know what to say or think....out of the 30-40 follies I had they were only able to get 6 eggs. Yes 6...I woke up to the nurse telling me that news and I just started to cry..I guess between all of the emotions, and hormones, and the disappointment of only getting 6 was alot to handle. I am home now and up in bed. I plan on going to work tomorrow even though right now I am very sore. The nurse told me I should totally let the emotions come out no matter how silly they may seem to others..and all I can really do right now is cry.

I Took my perc's a few mins ago..cramps were getting bad..so anyway we are most likely not going to have a 5 day transfer but a 3 day. Please pray we got a few great quality eggs out of that bunch. I can't help but think If I only had done this or If I had only done that..as in no wine a week ago...I dunno.. One of the things our RE did say was that she was wondering if the HCG dose I took wasn't enough. And that the "next" time if there is a next time I'll probably have to do 2 doses of the HCG injection. The other question I thought of on the way home was that they kept my Lupron does at 10 units, and never lowered it to 5 could that have played a role as Lupron is used to Supress ovulation. I am just numb inside I feel like I don't know what to think or how to feel. I am grateful and trying to keep in good spirits, but this was just a total shock to us to only get 6 out of all those follies. I am so crampy and a lil groggy so I am gonna hang out until DH gets back from the pharmacy.I dunno I am happy surgery is over but now really nervous about the eggs, and their quality.
