The minute details of this chapter of the story is yet to be written...I can't deal with that part right now.
For now, here are the stats. I am 40 years old. I began trying to get pregnant 3.5 years ago, age 36. I got married to the man of my dreams when I was 35 and we decided to wait a year before beginning our family. However, once we started, it became obvious this wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. A drunken night of passion didn't do the trick. Neither did 6 months of tracking my basal body temp (BBT) and using ovulation predictor tests. Since time was a wasting, I decided to call in the big guns. Our next steps:
7 Clomid IUI- BFN
1 cancelled IVF (due to poor response) converted to an IUI- BFN
1 IVF- 5 eggs retrieved, 4 embryos viable- used two, froze two. BFN
1 frozen cycle IVF- BFN
Moved to another state. New insurance coverage kicked in after 4 months, took another 2 months for insurance review- they denied IVF without another 2 IUIs- this time with injectibles (FSH)
FSH IUI number 1- successful! who would have thunk it?
This is why it seems so unfair that I would lose this baby. This was a baby that was dreamed of and desired for so long.

Nice to meet you. Although, I truly hate that you're here. I joined the club recently as well. I lost my baby Ethan at 32 weeks gestation due to an umbilical cord accident. I'm sorry for the loss of your beautiful baby girl.
Nice to meet you too. It sucks to be here.
I have skimmed your baby's story before but have a moment to comment today.
"This is why it seems so unfair that I would lose this baby. This was a baby that was dreamed of and desired for so long."
I agree.
