About Me

Having been raised by a single mother, it's been my dream to have a "normal" family with a father, a mother, and children since I was a kid. I got married to a wonderful husband Mike eight years ago. I love my job - I am an oncology nurse taking care of people undergoing bone marrow transplant. Mike got his Master's in Clinical Social Work last year. He recently started his career as Substance Abuse Specialist. We thought it was time to expand our family. One year later, I was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve at age of 32 with an elevated FSH level. My doctor thinks I need "aggressive" interventions right away. I am going to have my first IVF in September 2010.

Seven

I got a call from my nurse Jocelyn this morning. A good news. Seven eggs were fertilized! So, seven embies are growing at my doctor's office right at this moment. I can't wait to meet them. My transfer is scheduled for this Sat. It is the day 5 transfer as I wanted. I'm very happy. Meanwhile, I'll continue with the Progestrone shot. I am not a big fan of intramuscular shot but I'll be more than happy to do anything to get me pregnant.

Since I am crazy, I had to give names to those embies. Here you go (with meanings): Amare (immortal), Bern (brave), Caden (fighter), Day (hope), Emlyn (to strive), Falan (fruitful), and Gene (well born). Again, they are not our top choices for baby names. We chose the names based on the meanings.

Can't wait to get more progress reports about them. I have to wait until Thursday...
