    • About Me

      I've been married 4 years and my husband and I have been trying for 2 and a half years. Just before our fourth anniversary I was diagnosed as having blocked tubes. My husband and I both just finished our masters and I am going to start my new teaching career this year. He's a computer programmer. Update: I had my baby girl on July 28th, 2008. We love her and are ready to go through IVF again! LOL

      Work is ok. I am having a hard time staying awake during the night because I am up with Lorelei during the day. I have to nap with her. Thank the maker it's only 3 nights a week! How are you? I would like to be a stay at home mom.

      I'm now counting down by half days to make it feel like time is going faster...my husband doesn't seem to be anxious at all. What's up with that? :) So how old is Autumn now? She's such a cutie-pie. She looks like a happy baby. :)

      Type: Tubal Issues

      Just completed the first IVF cycle. I'm pregnant BUT my numbers are not going up very fast. I need to have more blood work done and possibly terminate this pregnancy - 11/26/07 We saw the heartbeat 12/5/07. We are very excited. We're not out of the woods, but we're doing better! Baby Autumn was born 7/28/08!

      Treatments

      HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Somewhat Helpful
      Had 2 done. One awake and one asleep. Glad the second one was while I was asleep! The first one showed a blockage and thus the second one was done when I had exploratory surgery
      In Vitro Fertilization Working / Worked
      I'm on my first cycle right now. We are currently in the 2ww as of 11/7/07. Baby Autumn was born 7/28/08
      Laparoscopic Surgery Somewhat Helpful
      Showed blockage in my tubes and endometriosis.
      Lupron Working / Worked
      bearable shots.
      Repronex Working / Worked
      Those shots suck. Painful but worth it! Sometimes the meds made my ovaries hurt.

      My sister and mother-in-law are gay. I love them. I hold nothing against them for it. I love them more for having to deal with the stereotypes and prejudices.
