New Location

Information from this blog can now be found at http://jennifermlynch.blogspot.com  on my new blog entitled, My Beautiful Life.  Since I am ending my quest to be  a mommy of four, I will also be ending new posts to this blog.  However, I will keep the blog up so others may gain information or find comfort in our shared journey.  I wish that many of you, like Anonymous who posted a comment to this entry, will find success in your own journey to expand your family. While my husband and I are sad, we are also comfortable in our decision to move forward.  Here is a portion of what we wrote to our families sharing our decision.

"...however, we also know that things happen for a reason and if God intends for us to have another baby, it will happen, and any plans God has for us will be great...we are also relieved to move forward. It has been a long two years with a lot of heartache. Almost every month we spend two weeks holding our breath and then one week being sad. We have experienced three miscarriages, two failed IUIs and two failed IVFs. We have expended an extraordinary amount of time and effort and we are proud that we tried so hard. We are also emotionally tired and physically wiped out. We are looking forward to a new chapter where we can refocus on our family and fill our days with things that bring us happiness and good health, emotionally and physically...we wanted you to know that we have really appreciated all of your support, prayers, and help."
 
I will continue to write about whatever moves me to write.  Those entries can be found on the blog above.  Good luck to all-and now I will be moving forward in My Beautiful Life.

  1. I've been following your blog since happening upon it during one of my obsessive google IVF sessions. Like you, I am an older (40 year old) mother of three on the fertility roller coaster. I'm worried that you shut this blog down because your last attempt failed. I just wanted to tell you not to give up. I had three disastrous cycles--one failed and two miscarriages. My doctor told me to consider donor eggs. I almost gave up, thinking that I could let my dream go. But, fortunately I did not. Instead I got a second opinion and am now 10 weeks pregnant! My heartfelt advise--get a second opinion. There's no harm, and the potential payoff is huge. Don't let your fear overcome your hope. Keep your chin up and fight for this baby!!

  2. Thank you for your very kind words. When I wrote this blog, it was for my own catharsis. I hadn't considered that others might be interested as well. Your story is inspirational and wonderful. While I don't think my husband and I will continue this journey, I am very happy that you did. I also will repost the old entries in case anyone else finds comfort in the shared experience. Congratulations on your pregnancy and your success at becoming a mother of four!
