It has been almost 2 years on this ttc journey. We have been through 4 donors, 11 iui's, and one BFP and the loss of that baby in Aug. Time really has flown by though. As Ali and I lay in bed reminiscing about 2007, it was hard to believe we have been on this journey 2 years. I can remember in the beginning and just knowing we would get pregnant right off the bat. Well, clearly that didn't happen, but we do know that we can.
It was here in 2007 blogland we met friends, shared our stories, and learned we are not alone. We learned that with donor #4, we could have been able to meet some families of blogs we already read. It was neat to see their babies and possibly what ours may have looked like. Unfortunately, he is not the one we have decided to continue on this journey. We have chosen a new donor, well we used him once before and something was tugging at us to try him again.
So, we leave 2007 with heartache and wonderful memories.
And we begin 2008 with a quest to have a baby and to continue with our mantra
Thank you God, Thank you God, Thank you God!
Many Blessings to you all!

Good luck to you in 2008. I will be here rooting you on!
Well Good Luck with the new donor. We have been TTC'ing for over 2 years as well, and have switched donors like 5 times. I hope this year brings BFP to both of us!
I think that is a great decision.
It was meant to be that you switched. right. like a mothers intuition or something.
Looking forward to that BFP this year.
Brand new year - brand new donor. There's a ring to that.
I hope this year brings you many blessing but most of all, I hope it brings you a healthy baby!
Let's go new swimmers!!
We switched donors too! Good luck to both of us in 2008!
Lots of donor switching going on I see. We're switching too!
LOTS OF LUCK TO US ALL!
It took us 26 months to conceive. The truth is that this journey is hard and unfair. I'm so thankful for my relationship with E, which never waivered in any of that time. My hope for you is not only that you realize those baby dreams this year, but that you continue to grow with each other and in your relationship- it's the only gift that years of ttc'ing gave me/us, but I am grateful for it.
Peace.
Sara,
You are right about the gift. A friend at lunch last week encouraged me to focus on what the gifts of waiting are ("and there are", she said)and the first thing I thought of was how many tender sweet loving moments La and I had after our miscarriage. And we discussed the other night that we think all this waiting has brought us closer and grown our relationship. I am looking for more gifts..
thank you for your kind words of encouragement.
