Step one : succes

Well, beyond our expectations, our little egg became an embryo and the transfer happened last Sunday, on Pentecost. Yay!!! A four cell emmy.

I really didn’t think that it would happen, but it did. What are the odds? I’m just so grateful and in awe. Even if our Emmy doesn’t stick, I’m still really confident [...]

I was making muffins when I heard the all to familiar beep from my phone letting me know that I had a voice mail. I dropped everything, searched my purse for my phone and saw that fertility clinic had called. I phoned them back while finishing off my muffins. In the meantime, my son and [...]

By On 18 March, 2013 · 7 Comments · In IVF

So, I had my pick up last Wednesday and we have three embryos, high five to the doctor, my husband and myself for the good job. I’m hoping for three healthy babies then.

Dreaming, missing and hoping

By On 20 February, 2013 · 1 Comment · In My Adoption and Reunion

I was dreaming that I was shopping with my sister, we shopped, we walked, we went for lunch in down town Toronto to her favourite vegan place. We were having some quality sister [...]
