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.

Babies!

It took me a while to update this blog. I'm on the week 6 of pregnancy with the typical 1st trimester symptoms. I am spending a lot of time resting and motivating myself to do something useful. My 1st ultrasound was on Tuesday (10/19), and I saw my babies. Yes, two of them with tiny heart beats! The doctor said everything was normal. The babies had slow heart rates (baby A 68; baby B 108), which worried me, but Dr T said it was quite normal to be this slow. These tiny hearts probably just started beating this week. My second ultrasound is scheduled for Nov 1. I should be discharged from Dr. T's care and move to a regular OB after that. I'm nervous and excited at the same time... It's like graduation. Graduating from the fertility treatment.
