The Enchanted April

I know it's been forever and a day, but I'm actually contemplating a new House/Cam fic - a sequel to Beneath the Surface. Just wondering if there would be any interest, or if I should just write it for myself. I'm not sure how much people are really reading H/C fic these days, or how many people even remember my old fics!

It's been a loooong time... over a year, as a fact. I'm not sure if anyone even comes to this journal anymore, but I wanted to let people know that I am still around, and I have exciting news.

Eight months ago, I gave birth to TWINS. Yes, all of the heartache was turned around when my third round of IVF resulted in two beautiful little boys. The pregnancy was hard, the birth had complications (I was hospitalized for two weeks) but we are all so happy and I can't tell you how amazing my sons are. They are beautiful and handsome and funny and smart and everything I could hope for.

I know that a lot of you were thinking good thoughts for me and I want to thank you all and to apologize for not posting earlier. I was so nervous about jinxing the pregnancy that I told very few people online (obviously those in my day to day life found out fairly early when I started showing!) and of course after the birth I had a few other things to deal with.

I'm not sure how much writing I will be doing, especially as House has moved in a direction I'm not particularly thrilled with, but who knows... maybe there's a sequel to Possibilities or Beneath the Surface in me yet!

As we now approach the holidays I've been thinking about the blessings this year has brought me, and I hope that everyone who reads this is also ending this year on a thankful and joy-filled note.

Yes, here we are, the final part of this story - although there may be an epilogue if anyone is interested in one. It's been wonderful to write this story, despite what's been going on in my own personal life, and I have to say that the support of my readers has been a huge comfort to me.

As far as my own fertility goes, this last cycle was unfortunately another failure, and so now I will be going through IVF. It's been a bumpy road, emotionally, and I'm trying to be positive now without getting my hopes up too much.

Okay, now on to what you came here for!

Okay, I lied. There's going to be one more chapter after this one. I just couldn't put anything more in here, and I think the birth deserves its own chapter. Oops, did I just give away the ending? You know, because there's always the possibility that the baby could just stay in there forever. Haha.

Thanks SO much for the comments on the last part and for the good thoughts and wishes as well. I had another IUI (intra-uterine insemination) today, and it went well, so I'm hoping for the best, but at the same time, trying not to get my hopes up too much.

Here's the next part:

Getting towards the end of this finally! I believe there will be one more part after this one (9B) and then an epilogue.

On a more personal note, my last try at pregnancy did not work, and this month I have been giving myself hormone injections in preparation for one more shot at a more natural method before going to IVF. It's been a very stressful time, but MrApril has been wonderful and I am so thankful for all of my LJ friends as well.

However, I think that I will be writing more personal friends-locked posts, and so I wanted to let people know that, and let them know that if you would like me to friend you so that you can read them, just comment and I'll do so. Up until now, I've friended very few people because I've had so few locked posts! Naturally all of my fics will remain open to all, so you don't have to worry about me friending you unless you also want to keep up with my personal life - mainly my journey towards pregnancy.

Now, on to the story. As always, comments and criticism and advice are all welcome!

( Possibilities - Part NineA )

I think that the rest of this story will come out much faster (not that there's much left) so you should all be happy about the quick updates. I'll also keep you all updated on the pregnancy front!

As always, comments and criticism are very welcome. I hope that this all still strikes everyone as realistic and in character.

BlueHeronz also has Jovsg's interview with me up over at her page, so I'd invite anyone interested to head on over and read it!

( Possibilities - Part EightB )

No, I'm not posting another part yet... that would be pretty fast for me lately! I am working on part 8B and hope to have it out tomorrow or Monday.

Anyway, I'm writing to ask for some good vibes to be sent my way. On Monday I gave myself a shot to induce ovulation, and on Wednesday I went in for another fertility treatment. My regular OB did the procedure, which made me feel like maybe there's some luck attached to it. We'll find out in two weeks if it's worked or not.

So, send all your baby-thoughts this way! Thanks :)

First of all, thank you all for your kind comments and well-wishes. You make me blush and you make me smile. Knowing you're all thinking good thoughts for me and MrApril, is a wonderful feeling.

Now, on to this part... oh, and I apologize for having A and B parts, but in case you hadn't guessed, I'm trying to wrap this up in nine parts total (get it, nine parts, nine months of pregnancy) plus a possible epilogue, but I don't want to go so long between giving you guys something to read!

( Possibilities - Part EightA )

I don't know how many times I can apologize for the time between postings, but here I am doing it again. These last few months have been emotional ones for me as my husband and I try different medical procedures to get pregnant. It's definitely led to some sporadic writing on my part! Because of my earlier surgery, my doctor has been very proactive, and everyone in my life is very supportive, but it is still a frustrating disappointment each month when the pregnancy test reads "negative". We're trying a new routine of medication, ultrasound and IUI this month, and any positive prayers or thoughts would be very appreciated. We have an appointment with an IVF clinic next week, but oh how I would like to avoid having to go through in vitro!

Okay, enough blabbing, here is the next part.

( Possibilities - Part SevenB )

Here's the next part of this story... again, it's actually just "part A" and "part B" will follow in the next day or so.

I'm very glad that people are still enjoying it!
