    • About Me

      I've been married for 8 years and have been ttc for about 4yrs on and off. I have unexplained infertility. For the past 7 years, our "baby" has been our black lab. I got pregnant on an 'off cycle' in August, but sadly I miscarried at 5 weeks. So, I'm back on the ttc wagon hoping for a healthy and viable pregnancy. In March I did my first round of IVF and got pregnant. I am due with a baby boy in December !!

      Clomid Not Working
      I took clomid for 3 months w/ no pregnancy. However, the side effects for me were minimal.

      HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Working / Worked
      Uncomfortable, but not painful. Tubes were not blocked.
      In Vitro Fertilization Working / Worked
      Suprisingly like doing stims w/mu IUI. Not as bad as I thought it would be. 16 eggs retrieved. 13 fertlized w/ICIS. Beta on 4/13. Positive pregnancy test . Due in December.

      the OPK did work (I have ovulated each time), but I did not get pregnant.
      Progesterone Working / Worked
      Took suppository after IUI w/ follistim. Messy, but no problems. POI shots in the back side. As long as you ice your behind for 10mins prior to the shots, there is only a small pinch.
