ASPROUSEY05

Hey ladies. It has been quite some time since i posted, i dont know where the time has gone. There are lots on unfamiliar names on here that wont remember me, and unfortunatley some names i do recognize, meaning you are still struggling with infertilty, and I keep you all in prayers still. I just wanted to share my story. In 2005 me and dh were told we had less then a 5%chance of conceiving unless we did ivf. Do to low sperm count etc (less then 200,000) I had some polycystic ovaries, but not the syndrome. Anyway, considering we were young (23 and 27 at the time) we were given a high chance of success. Well we had 2 failed IVFs. And only 2 frozen! So we did a 3rd cycle (frozen transfer) and we got a positive pregnancy test. but that ended in an early miscarriage. I was at the point of giving up. I truly believed I couldnt handle any more let downs. my heart had been broken so many times. i had changed as a person, infertility had consumed my life. i started getting panic attacks, had severe anxiety, etc etc. And we had already tried ivf, so there was no other "options" to go to.. except adoption, which i just knew we werent ready to think about yet. So we did try one more time in june 2007, and decided if i wasnt pregnant we would take a break for atleast a year. well on july 14, 2007 i got a positive pregnancy test. the first few months were scary, i was always nervous to go to the dr. the pregnancy wasnt too complicated, no morning sickness, just extremely tired in teh beginning, but towards the end i got really swollen and my blood pressure started to elevate. my due date was 3/19/8, but on 2.27.8 i went to the dr for a routine visit and was spilling lots of protein in my urine. i was sent to labor and delivery to get blood work.. but when i got there my bp was so high i was told i had severe preeclampsia, and i needed to have baby THEN. so at 2:51pm on 2/27/8 i finally had my lil miracle delivered via
c-section Fiona Maebh. She was 3 wks early, and had a lil trouble eating in the beginning, so she spent the first 5days of her life in the special care nursery, but she did great in there. She didnt need to be incubated, and wasnt on any meds in there, just had a feeding tube for one day, but she came home last monday and has been eating better and better everyday. I will keep praying for all of you, because i know miracles can and do happen! xoxo
