Taking Care of Ourselves - Another Amazing Story!

Awhile ago, I connected with an IVF'er who was considering becoming a CCRM'er. She still had one frozen embryo left at her former clinic and her doctor at this clinic, as well as the Dr. she consulted with at CCRM both said that the chances were slim to none that an FET would work.

She pleaded with her current doctor to put her on an anthistamine protocol similar to the one I was on for my last cycle (1 10 mg Claritin tablet in the AM, 1 10 mg Prednisone tablet in the AM and 2 Pepcid AC tablets - one in the AM and one in the PM). He didn't want to do it, but she put herself on it anyway (not sure if she has the Prednisone, as that's a prescription drug). Low and behold, she's six weeks pregnant! I'm so happy for her!

Just wanted to share this exciting story...miracles do happen!

In other exciting news, our adoption application went into the mail today (along with a check for several-hundred dollars). It should be delivered tomorrow...

One more step forward! We're on our way!
