I didn't either but I wanted to say that I am glad it worked for you and you have a beautiful child. Did it work the frist time or did you have to try several times?

that's great...so many parents are put through the pain of having to do it over and over. Stories about it working the first time are wonderful. Were you trying for your dd or was she a special suprise? (you can totally ignore me if I am getting to personal)

I have not been through it, but know plenty of people who have. One couple I know went through 8 tries and finally on the 9th one it worked. They have twins now and are trying again. I'm not sure how you get that much money together to have enough for 9 tries plus some, but they did it!
Good luck to you! It is a long and tiresome process, but it does work for so many people. All of those shots will be worth it!

We went through many cycles of IVF without success (our twins were a complete surprise, conceived without any assistance). It was an emotionally hard, tremendously expensive process that left my butt numb for over a year.

Wow! I'm so sorry you had to go through so much :( ! (HUGS)

We were lucky, it worked for us from the very first try and our daughter (second child) was a surprise baby, conceived without any assistance, just like your twins:) . I know it's a bit too late, but congratulations!!! Do you have girls, boys or one of each? Are they idenical twins?
