Another Year of Trying: Well, the good news is...

Tuesday, December 14, 2010

Well, the good news is...

...at least I can start running again. If I'm going to be childless for the next two months, I'm going to set a new personal PR in the 5K.

Stuff We've Enjoyed in the Last Three Years

June 2008
We get married! I have been off the pill for six months in anticipation of starting a new family.

February 2009
See local doctor about fertility issues. It can't really be this hard, can it?

March-June 2009
Try prometrium to lengthen luteal phase, undergo a super-fun hysterosalpinogram (forward-tilting uterus makes it interesting) and delightful endometrial biopsy (wouldn't reccomend it). Both come back normal.

December 2009
Make the move to a proper RE. Resist telling local doctor "You suck," to his face.

February 2010
IUI #1 / Clomid. BFN.

April 2010
IUI #2 / Clomid. BFN.

June 2010
IUI #3 / Clomid. BFN while on trip to England. You can't ruin my vacation, infertility! (But you sure put up a fight trying.)

August-September 2010
Try naturally. Take lots of herbs and spend an inordinate amount of money on suplements. BFN.

October 2010
IUI #4 / Follistim. Canceled due to hyperstimulation. (I grew more follicles than I have fingers. I don't want to be Octomom.)

November 2010
IUI #5 / Follistim / Crinone - BFN

December 2010
Natural cycle and trying...taking a little break from the doctor.

January 2011
Taking a little break, trying naturally.

February 2011
Taking a little break, trying naturally.

March 2011
Um, yeah. Still on a break.

April 2011
IVF Prep for June: blood tests, Fluid Contrast Ultrasound, Trial Embryo Transfer, and follice monitoring

May 2011
On BCPs and Lupron to start IVF procedure.

June 2011
IVF #1

July 2011
Our very first BFP!

October 2011
A 20-week ultrasound reveals: It's a boy!

March 2012
We have a healthy, happy baby boy! It is possible after all...and I'm so glad we didn't give up hope.
