"Our Infertility Journey"
Just a few days ago I went in for some blood work in search of some answers on where I am at in my cycle. I am currently on CD 36, which means my last period was 36 days ago. Yikes! Let me remind you, we had a failed FET in March, with a initial [...]
One of the biggest stressors that couples face while battling infertility is, “How am I going to pay for this?” We are one of the unfortunate couples that don’t have an ounce of insurance coverage for infertility, which makes this process even more frustrating. Yes, you could go completely broke paying for treatments!! Good-bye vacations, [...]
We are less than a week away from our FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer). This is our last frozen embryo and to no surprise we are hoping we are blessed with a sibling for our dear daughter. I had my ultrasound yesterday to check my uterine lining, it was a 10.5, which to my understanding is [...]

Okay! Round 2 – Here We Go!
I am just finishing my first pack of birth control pills in order to regulate my cycle for our upcoming FET in March. About 10 days about I had a “sono-mock” done by one of our fertility doctors. This procedure involves a mock transfer as well as filling [...]
Kate is 1, New Venture and Hope
By Mike On December 10, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In Infertility & IVF, Life After Infertility, Our Infertility Journey
Well, our little girl, Kate, just turned 1 this past week. This year has definitely flown by but with many memories that we will hold tight forever.
Kate was our first successful FET after many failed IUI’s and a failed fresh IVF cycle. Our hopes were definitely down after the failed tries but we got [...]
I knew I wanted to breastfeed Kate and began doing so shortly after her birth. After a bit of help from the postpartum nurses, we were a great team and both mommy and baby were successful! Although it did take quite a bit of getting used to, I really enjoyed our moments together [...]
It’s been way too long since I last posted. Baby Katherine is already here and is just shy of 9 months. Who ever knew that 9 months could go so fast? Let’s rewind to last December when our little princess arrived.
We went to the hospital for an induction on a Thursday, [...]
So, here we are, 9 months after Kate was born. We have not updated this site in a long time and it’s much overdue. This will be a quick post to just let everyone know we are doing well and we are finally getting into a much needed routine with Kate. She is the [...]
I am now 18 weeks and enjoying the 2nd trimester of pregnancy. The evening nausea has completely gone away and it seems that my energy level has increased a little bit. The best part of this trimester so far is the little baby bump that emerges more and more each day!
I went in for [...]
Sorry, it’s been a few days since we’ve posted. Wendi is in St. Louis visiting family and I am playing dad to our two very ridiculous dogs! Back on schedule from here on out!
Just wanted to give a quick update on our positive IVF pregnancy. We are in our second trimester and things are [...]
The first trimester can be the most exciting time in your life as well as the most nerve-racking. The initial news of your pregnancy comes with great joy, but many women find that their worry doesn’t quite fade away.
For those that have gone through infertility treatments, getting through the first trimester may be [...]
This is coming from a guy’s perspective, but seriously…when you actually sit down and think about it, pregnancy is a miracle. All of the little pieces of the conception puzzle that have to go together are overwhelming and it’s such an amazing process.
Having gone through infertility and IVF with my wife, I have learned [...]
We initially thought that we’d post our results from March’s FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) right away. Sorry for the delay, but as the phone call with our results came we didn’t quite realize the implications of announcing our news.
We’re having a baby!!!
We found out on April 1st that our FET was a [...]
We are sorry that it has taken us so long to update our results from our test. We had a very emotional day and needed some private time as a couple. We appreciate the love, support, and prayers that we have received. Our journey isn’t over, please stay tuned and we will continue to share [...]
We have finally made through the 2 week wait for our frozen embryo transfer that was recently done. Wendi and I went to the doctor this morning to do her blood draw to check her HCG levels. The HCG number needs to be at 50 or higher. We will get a phone call sometime today. [...]
Our first frozen embryo transfer (a.k.a – FET) was about a week ago and we are still waiting on our upcoming appointment to see if we are pregnant or not. Our test is on April Fool’s Day…ha ha!
A bit about the FET:
We arrived at the clinic anxious and excited, but that is [...]
We went to the doctor two days ago and great news; our FET (frozen embryo transfer) is a go! The first thing they checked was my uterine lining and the nurses exact words were “gorgeous” – in fertility terms, I assume that means great. We were given a number of 9 for the lining and [...]
Not much new going on today. Mike and I are going to a class tonight on Fertility Foods at the clinic that I get acupuncture from. I am anxious to see what they have to say. I really wish that I had begun the acupuncture when we began this whole fertility process, but hey, better [...]
