Oh how times flies ... especially for an infertile in her thirties on her journey to conceive a miracle! :) but I am a Jesus girl and with Jesus, age is nothing - its all about timing - His timing! And the fact that I am, to human eye, an infertile when looking at my body through medical terms - through God's eyes I am instrument though which He can perform a miracle!
We are in our fourth year of trying to conceive, and if you know my story or have followed my blog you will know that its been a roller coaster of operation after operation after operation...
I have just had a double salpingectomy (where they removed both my fallopian tubes) due to the fact that they were blocked. I did a lot of research and sought advise from 3 different Fertility Specialists and they all said, that blocked tubes do affect your chances of IVF being successful... We waited a further 6 months and after an enormous amount of questioning, discussing and prayer - we decided to go ahead with the operation. This was truly a very hard decision as this meant that conceiving naturally was no longer an option for us at all...(even though conceiving naturally with blocked tubes is not possible anyway) I had to get my mind around it... I also felt that if I did have it done was I doubting God's to perform a miracle naturally... and and and, so these are the things that I wrestled with day in and day out...
...a friend from Church reminded me that even IVF is God and that I don't have to feel guilty about doing it...yes God gives life and He has given us doctors and this awesome gift of IVF to help people who are faced with other complications and the chance to still have their miracle!
So we continue and we off to Cape Town soon to do a whole new cycle with a clean fresh womb!
Will keep you posted... in the meantime... lots of veggies, mild exercise and lots and lots of prayer and speaking words of life over my womb and the babies that will soon be snuggled in there - I BELIEVE IT! WE BELIEVE IT!

Good luck with your next cycle. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
My tubes are also blocked as you know and I can imagine that it must have been hard making the decision to remove them. You are a brave woman and I truly hope that you will get your miracle on your next try with IVF!
I've been thinking of you, especially yesterday I went to see FS and we were discussing the ICU stint that I had (I know you had one too).
Wishing you all the best with this next cycle xxx
