Hello Team TR

My name is Natalie... I was a regular on the IVF board last fall. Unfortunately I had a failed IVF cycle (feel free to look up my old posts to see the trials and tribulations ) in November.

I wish I hadn't been so naive to believe that IVF was my only option... but alas I was...and I moved fwd with the cycle.

All this to say, I thought I was done. And I was wrong. DH and I decided to give it the college try. I had my TR done Oct 19, 09 (one week ago today!!!) by Dr Berger in North Carolina.

I had the best experience...and the healing has been easy. Having had a c-section, I have a frame of reference and this was sooooo much easier.

My lengths were 6 and 6.5 (can't remember which side was which)... and I feel very good about that

My DH couldn't be with me when I had the TR done (my mum came down from Canada instead, god love her).... so he and I DTD on Wed, 21, 22 and then again on 24. I was sore, but nothing crazy. TMI: thank gawd for spooning Dr B said that he could see I was about to o from the left side....I hope I caught it in time... all the OPK test strips I bought (on Thursday) have been - since I bought them, leading me to think I o'd on Wed...

My LMP was Oct 8, so I will be due for AF on 11/5.... and I hope I caught the egg that *should* have o'd on the 21st, due to my flawless 28-day cycle.... but we'll see.

I see this board is sleepy, I hope we can breathe some life into it..... I would love the support of women who've been there/done that...

Congrats to all that have gone through the journey and have had 1 (or more) TR miracles and I hope to lend support to those courageous women who haven't made the journey yet.

~Natalie xo
