TR at Chapel Hill
Friday, January 2nd, 2009As I sit and reflect on 2008, I realize that at this time last year I was nervously preparing for my TR at Chapel Hill that was scheduled for 1/25. I had so many questions and fears about what would happen both during surgery and after.
Deep in my heart I knew it was the right thing to do for us after 2 unsuccessful rounds of IVF — I just couldn’t do that again. It was going to happen the natural way or not at all, and the “not at all” scared me!
After 4 months of ovulation monitoring, I left for a 10 day trip, only to come back with a BFN report for my DH. I gave up on the monitoring for June. I was too frustrated, busy, and trying to recover from my trip. My DH and I were arguing all the time, showing the signs of our mutual frustration.
On 6/25, I realized I was past the date that I was suppose to get my period but I really chalked it up to stress. I had 1 more PG test left and thought…well, I might as well use it up and be done with it…THAT’S the day I got my BFP! My DH and I had had such a big argument the night before that I hardly felt like bounding into the bedroom in joy and excitement, so I left the test in the bathroom for him to discover when he went to take his shower.
Well, the rest is history as I sit here 32 weeks PG and expecting on 2/20/09. The rest of the year has been filled with many emotional ups and downs, but the fact that our dreams of a child is close to being realized is the best gift from God of all!
I know we are all in different places of our journey. I just wanted to share with everyone my miracle for 2008 that would NOT have happened without Dr. Berger’s faithful commitment to reversing, through surgery, a selfish decision I made 12 years ago! I’m convinced that his dedication to excellence, along with the staff that aids him, is the reason for the high success rate that his practice at Chapel Hill stands on.
Again Dr. Berger, THANK YOU!!! We are thrilled to be where we are at now and can’t thank you enough for
how you and your staff treated us while we were there! You’ll certainly be one of the first people we update once baby arrives! 7 weeks to go!
Happy New Year!
