IVF #2 Ep. 7: Our pregnancy results!!!!!
Hi, my name is Ashley Legg and I’m struggling to have a baby…
Something my husband and I never thought we’d be faced with. Now in year four of our baby making journey, we’ve been…
Infertile for a year, 2017.
Fertile for a year having suffered 3 miscarriages, 2018.
Back to infertile faced with 4 failed IUI’s (Intrauterine Insemination) in 2019. This fertility treatment involves placing sperm inside a woman's uterus to facilitate fertilization. The goal of IUI is to increase the number of sperm that reach the fallopian tubes and subsequently increase the chance of fertilization. We had to go through multiple attempts with insurance to become candidates for IVF.
Which, leads us to now, heading into our first IVF cycle in 2020. IVF stands for In vitro fertilization! Which helps with fertilization, embryo development, and implantation, increasing the chances of getting pregnant.
We had a positive pregnancy test March 17th, but sadly our HCG levels did not increase at the rate they should have and eventually started declining. During our first ultrasound there were no signs of pregnancy. We were heartbroken.
Since our loss, I had two biopsies done which confirmed I had chronic endometritis, which is inflammation of the uterus. We had a D&C which removed all of the inflammation and now we are in the process our our second transfer. Hopeful for our miracle baby.
While infertility is one part of my life, this doesn’t define me. I’m a wife, daughter, sister, dog mama, friend, personal trainer, coach, mentor, entrepreneur, journalist, speaker, lover of life and a warrior!
We are fighting this fight until the very end, to show you and many other families out there to NEVER give up. To be relentless in your efforts. To be resilient despite adversity. To love hard. To hope hard. All while being kind to yourself and to live in the present moment.
We have decided to document our IVF journey in real time, as it’s healing for us and because of the overwhelming support from all of you!
Thank you for the support, love, words of encouragement and prayers. I don’t know how I get so lucky to have such a solid tribe, but I’m forever grateful.
Now, let’s make a baby #teambabylegg
