I haven’t blogged in a while – the truth is the past couple of months have been super hard, and super emotional for me – and most days I still feel like I have nothing good to say. I am still reading all of your blogs, and I have decided that I really NEED to keep this up. I can’t tell you what all of your support means to me, it really does make a huge difference...and I know I need to make an effort to stay connected if I want to be supported...so I am back! ;)
We were planning to do our frozen embryo transfer last month –and a couple of things happened that put things on hold for us:
The first one is that my naturopath said that she has learned some new acupuncture points that has worked ‘miracles” for people trying to get pregnant – and she wanted to try them on me. She said one women that she knows about was over 40 and tried to get pregnant for years – these points were the only thing that worked for her. Since reading the book “Making Babies”, we wanted to give the “natural way” a good honest effort before going back to the clinic. 5 months later – I can honestly say we’ve given it a true chance. Sadly we didn’t get the results we had hoped for.
The second reason we’ve put things on hold is the possibility of a vacation! I have a friend who works on a cruise ship and she has invited us to go on a cruise! She can have friends and family come and join her on the ship for only TEN DOLLARS A NIGHT! Yes you read that right!
For a while we weren’t sure if we would be able to go. My husband has been super busy at work, and has a few huge exams coming up – and I have many people depending on me for childcare, and I didn’t want them to be stuck because of me.
BUT everything has worked our PERFECTLY and we found out this weekend that we can go! So we leave next Thursday for a 9 day Eastern Caribbean Cruise! Words can’t describe how excited and thankful I am for this opportunity!
SO all of that to say we have postponed our transfer until next month. By then I think I will be more than ready! (I hope anyway)
Lately, my husband and I have also been talking about all the “what if’s” What if it doesn’t work? What if we try another IVF cycle and that still doesn’t work? How long do we keep trying? And if we never get the chance to have our own children what will we do next?
We have a few thoughts...
So stay tuned! ;)
(I want to write about it now, but I am taking care of 3 babies, and one toddler today…I think one of the 3 sleeping babies is awake now, so I better run)

Hi, glad you are back! I completely understand the need to take a break, especially with all the emotions we go through on a daily basis. So glad for your cruise, you and your husband truly deserve it and I hope you have a fabulous time! And it's always good to have a plan - one of those plans will be God's perfect plan!
I am so glad to read what you've been up to. I've missed you! Glad you are hanging in there. I am SO excited to hear about your vacation. My husband and I just got back from a week in Hawaii. I was so glad we got to go. It was so nice to get away from everything and just enjoy life. We totally needed a break. I can't believe what a great deal you are getting! I hope that you have a fantastic time on your cruise!
Praying for you as you try to figure out your "what-ifs". Keep us posted on your transfer... and about how much fun your vacation is!

Totally jealous and hope you will post pics so I can go on an imaginary journey through your pictures! I am psyched that you are trying new acupuncture. Let us all know! I will be praying for you that next month is THE month for you!
