  Miracles do happen ...

Hi everyone. I was 26 years old when my husband and I were married and I was very eager to start a family. I have never had a normal cycle so I knew we were going to have problems getting pregnant, but I never thought we would have the problems that we did. We started trying to have a baby on our honeymoon, but were not successful. We tried for about six months and then I went to see the doctor. He felt that it was just as simple as making me ovulate. I was put on Clomid and we didn't have any luck. I was truly devastated!! My doctor decided to do an HSG test to check my tubes and he found one to be blocked and the other to have some spillage. I was completely shocked and very upset. He told me that he thought I had one viable tube and maybe the other one just had a mucus plug. He decided to do laparoscopic surgery to see if he could fix the blocked tube. After surgery, he informed me that both tubes were blocked and there was nothing else he could do. I was sent to an infertility clinic 3 hours away in hopes of having reconstruction surgery done on my tubes. Again, my hopes were dashed when the doctor told me it was just not possible. My tubes were too badly scarred. I felt my life was over. I felt I had cheated my husband out of a family and that he was trapped. Although he assured me it didn't matter and he didn't need children, I was shattered and felt defective. I believed the one thing that God had put me on this earth for was to be a mommy and I couldn't do it. I had always been a Christian but this was the first time I had ever just turned everything over to GOD. I asked him to just close one door for me if he didn't want me to pursue IVF. If He closed just one door I would stop, but He didn't. Everything we tried worked as we got closer and closer to the retrieval. Then R day!! We got 23 eggs and 17 fertilized. We were so excited!! We transferred 3 and froze 14. IT WORKED!! I was pregnant!! It was the most glorious thing in the world. Everything we went through, every tear I cried was all worth it because we were blessed with a miracle from GOD!! Our little boy is truly a precious gift!! Don't give up your dreams, they can come true!!!
