After 7 IVFs back to back, I have a beautiful baby girl

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Sunday, December 17, 2006 | 0 comments

After 7 IVFs [In Vitro Fertilization] almost all back to back and a bunch of 'almost pregnant', I now have a beautiful and healthy baby girl WITHOUT IVF. She is truly a miracle. After the 7th IVF and using PGD [Preimplantation genetic diagnosis], no embryos were viable, so we paid a few thousand dollars to start the adoption process, and even went to a donor egg seminar.

After the 4th or 5th cycle, I also started acupuncture 1-2 times a week, did Yoga for Fertility (a DVD I bought from Amazon), and got a massage once a week to relax.

Well, after giving up on IVF, I was able to drink a glass of red wine a couple of times a week (which I missed), and got pregnant and now have our miracle baby. Of course, now I'm nursing and don't drink red wine again, but it's SO worth it.

TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION:

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
