Our journey through infertility, failed adoptions and now parenthood through the miracle of embryo adoption/donation.

Welcome fellow ICLW-ers!

It is December ICLW week! (for those that don't know f it, follow the link to the right for more info). A little about me for those visiting for the first time:

My name is Jess and my hubby and I have been married for 11 years. We have been ttc the entire time but have had so many bumps in the road. I have endo, PCOS and blocked tube. He has Sertoli-cell Only which is a fancy way of saying no sperm. We tried 4 IUIs with no success and have had 2 failed adoptions. In December we had our first FET with donated embryos and it was successful!!! I am currently 4 weeks pregnant! We are still in complete shock. My first beta was 41 and today's was 163! Good numbers!!!!

Well, that about sums it up! I look forward to meeting some new friends this week!

  5. Jess,

    How can happiness like this just keep on going??? I'm SO HAPPY for you!!!! :)

    I don't know much about the medical part of embryo adoption. If you care to share the medical/science parts, I'd love to hear it...so here, specifically, what the #'s mean...the significance of what "good numbers" are. :)
