My very first ICLW =)



Welcome all ICLWers! This is my very first & I am praying it goes well. The goal is to leave at least 5 comments and return one comment daily, until the February 28th.


So here's a little about me; I am 22 and married to the love of my life! My hubby had cancer (Retinoblastoma) in both eyes as a baby. It was a very hard thing for his parents, as he had several surgeries & chemo. When we decided we wanted to start a family we visited a few genetic counselers who told us it was a 50% chance our children could have retinoblastoma. We decided to start IVF with PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis). We recently had our first IVF cycle.

I hope that you read my blog & enjoy!

  2. Hey Alicia, I read down and caught up a little on your story. I'm so sorry that this first cycle didn't go well. I understand how hard both the financial and emotional aspects can go. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide.

  5. I'm sorry that you didn't get more embryos from your first cycle. Hopefully, the doctor will be able to tailor a better course for you next time and you will be able to add to the embies you already have frozen. I wish you and your husband all the best! ICLW.
