About Me
I am 33 years old and am married to a wonderful husband. We met on a blind date, of all things! I am the supervisor for a children's mental health agency that provides home & community-based services. I'm also in the process of going back to school to become a Registered Nurse. We have 2 cats (our "babies" for now), and an older home that we are currently renovating. We've been trying to have a baby for longer than I care to remember!

I enjoy reading, scrapbooking, cooking, spending time with family & friends, and SHOPPING- I have a "thing" for purses! :) I am also a huge Jimmy Buffett fan, but I love most kinds of music!

I decided to stay home afterall - and I'm very glad/relieved. DH had to leave yesterday for a business trip :( He won't be home until probably Saturday and then will leave again Sunday for over a week :( :( So no more pampering for me! I do have some friends/family who have offered to help in any way they can . . . so I'm not stranded but it's just me and 5 animals to take care of! Luckily they've been very good so far and Todd left me in a good spot with as much taken care of ahead of time as he could. I have work with me that I haven't even looked at . . . so I'm hoping I'll have enough energy to at least organize some things and get a few things done to make going back a little easier. My supervisor is supportive as are my co-workers who know . . . I just worry about the families I was to see especially since I was sick (from all the meds I think) and cancelled the same people last Tues. But I am going to put myself first . . . and try not to feel too badly about it . . . this is just too completely important!
Glad to hear things are calming down a little for you you . . . you deserve to just be able to enjoy your miracle already!! When is your next appt? 
Prayer
Prayers going up for your friends DH.

Close Infertility
Type: EndometriosisTTC since 2005. Just recently diagnosed with endometriosis. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage (9/11/06). 8/18/08 had a low positive beta but it was not viable. Other than that we have had no luck. It's so hard not to get discouraged...
Treatments
- Basal Thermometer Not Working
- Stupid waste of my morning time. Stressed me out. RE told me they're not reliable anyway. But I continue to take my temp every day in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, it will work!
- Clomid Not Working
- No major side effects except for killer hot flashes! I ovulated 6 times w/Clomid, but it seems to have caused my estrogen to decrease a lot, so did not conceive on it.
- Estrogen Patch Working / Worked
- Leaves sticky marks on my behind! But keeps my estrogen up.
- Folic Acid Somewhat Helpful
- If I do get pregnant, at least I won't have a folic acid deficiency!
- Follistim Working / Worked
- Started on 10/8/07. Helped produce the most follies I've EVER had! Love the smaller needle, too.
- hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Working / Worked
- 'Cause I love getting shots you-know-where!
- HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Somewhat Helpful
- No tubal blockage, but I have a uterine septum. This test was painful for me!
- Hysteroscopy Somewhat Helpful
- Hysteroscopy showed that I have a uterine septum. One more roadblock!
- Progesterone Working / Worked
- Progesterone suppositories...what a pain.
- Repronex Working / Worked
- Menopur - so far, so good - but no pregnancy yet.
Close Endometriosis
Just had hernia surgery; turns out my hernia was a hardened mass of endometriosis. Had laparoscopic surgery last week, and my RE removed all the endo with laser. We'll see what happens from here...
Treatments
- Hysteroscopy Working / Worked
- Uterus looks good except for huge septum that runs down the middle of it!
- Laser Surgery Working / Worked
- Very little pain afterwards.
Open Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility
Miscarried in September '06, haven't had any luck since then, but hoping to very soon! Have 2 problems - endometriosis and a uterine septum - that are severly delaying our best efforts!
Open Pregnancy
I'm pregnant after 3+ years of infertility and 1early miscarriage.
