Ok. So this may not be as thrilling as watching Elysium, but it's the most exciting thing I've seen and experienced in quite a while.
It has truly taken a village to get to this stage. The credit list to our babies may be longer than our movie. You never know where life may take you and who will show up with unconditional love and support. We've been truly blessed.
PS. My dad wanted me to add that that giant spot on my tummy is not a birthmark but a healing bruise from the last Lupron injection. A war wound.
Ugh. Yes Cheryl. Sorry you can relate. You are so right about the hope despair cycle that seems to happen in this world. It's totally not fair and I'm sorry about your IVF outcome. I think reminding myself that I will have a family--somehow, some way, helps sometimes. Other times it's just feels like a distant fantasy. I've heard so many different stories of absolute sadness and then amazing outcomes. You have to figure somethings gotta give eventually, right? Good luck on whatever comes next for you and take good care of yourself in this time of healing. Sending lots of love and good thoughts.

I just came across your blog a few days ago after failing our 2nd IVF attempt. I also have DOR and "egg quality issues." Watching this video was so heartbreaking. It was like watching myself. The excitement and hope, staring at your embryos and willing them to live, yet sadness that you've had to endure so much just to get to this moment. Not the moment of a baby being born, not the moment of hearing the heartbeat on an ultrasound, not the moment of getting your BFP. This is our one moment of hope. And it isn't fair.

I just wanted to tell you that I'm in the same situation (www.wishingawayinfertility.blogspot.com) and I am pulling for you and your husband. Hang in there.
