It is hard to keep updating a blog when the journey becomes stagnant. Earlier this month you have read that my wife and I had an unsuccessful IVF cycle. It was our second try and it was heartbreaking.  We as a couple haven’t talked much about it recently but I am sure it still weighs heavily on our hearts.  I mean I am updating a blog when nothing is going on so something must be stirring within me. . . Or it is a Friday afternoon and I don’t feel like working.

Diane and I had the follow up appointment with our doctor to discuss the protocol and if anything could have been different.  It is agonizing not knowing answers and just accepting that it could have been a poor batch of eggs or the sperm and the egg didn’t just make a nice embryo.  Not enough answers and it sucks when we are told that there isn’t anymore testing we can do to get them.

As for now we are taking a break and letting our hearts heal. We are going to get away and visit Paris, Florence, and Rome.  We are continuing our journey on becoming healthier, not only for the chance for another cycle, but just for ourselves.  I don’t know when our next post will be.  It might be a few months and you read a post originally entitled “3rd time’s a charm”  This might be the last one because we won’t try again.  But how we both wish our last post was/is a pic of us holding a baby in our arms and saying “Our Dream Came True.”
