I'm an elementary school teacher who first began blogging due to infertility. I began TTC #1 5/01/02. Following three Clomid cycles, three Clomid cycles with IUI, and four Gonal-F cycles with IUI without ever seeing a BFP, dh and I finally decided to give IVF a try. We feel so very blessed that it worked. Just over four and a half years later, we were then blessed again with a second child, completely out of the blue. Our children make life worth living. I can only hope in this economy that we are able to continue making their lives enjoyable as well.
