Today was our first monitoring appointment at CNY Buffalo. Our appointment was at 11am, so we had to leave the house at 7:45am. Honestly, the drive wasn't too bad. The appointment went great, and we left feeling so good about the whole process. They listened to us, involved us in decisions, and customized our protocols… Continue reading First Monitoring Appointment at CNY Buffalo

This New Year's Eve is bittersweet. Two years ago, on December 24, 2015, we were so excited when Jaci started her period. It was our first "CD1" (Cycle Day 1), and the start of our fertility journey. Over the last two years, we've been through IUI after IUI, multiple tests and procedures, three failed rounds… Continue reading Happy (Bittersweet) New Year!

We’ve been quiet on the blog lately, but there has been a lot going on.

Aching heart, empty arms, broken dreams / Spinning in dizzying circles for eternity / Hope is a bad four letter word / When it seems your prayers are not being heard. / It’s feeling crazy, confused, jealous and sad / Isolated, weary,… Continue reading Some Days Are Harder Than Others

After a week of negative home pregnancy tests, we went for Kelly’s beta blood test today. We weren’t very hopeful, and after two hours on the phone with Quest and multiple emails to New Hope, we finally received a response:“I just spoke to Quest and resuts were retreived. Please find below your levels as of… Continue reading Beta Results

It's been an interesting week, to say the least. We received an email from New Hope on Wednesday (7/19) saying that Dr. Zhang recommended that Kelly start a new cycle, but if we wanted to proceed, we could monitor early Friday morning at New Hope for a transfer on Friday or Saturday. On Thursday (7/20),… Continue reading What a Week!
