I'm Back

Dear followers (if I even have any left)...

I'm so sorry I fell off the face of the earth. I don't know why and I don't have any excuses, but I just stopped blogging there for a while. I kind of want to kick myself in the butt for it because I feel like there was so much for me to blog about.. I just never sat down to do it. Well I'm back... happy, healthy, and with a beautiful little girl and plan to blog about it along the way.

Our History

October 21, 2006 - Started dating!

August 15, 2007 - Tyler proposed!

September 2007 - Decided to start our own family

October 2007 - February 2009 - No luck :(

March 21, 2009 - I became a MRS!!!

August 2009 - First appointment with RE. He sent us for more bloodwork and testing. All results were coming back fine.

October 2009 - I had an internal ultrasound with saline. TA DA... finally a diadnosis, severe pelvic adhesions. The cause is believed to be from a previous appendectomy.

December 2009 - Underwent a laparoscopic surgery to remove pelvic adhesions. Adhesions were more sever than expected and my RE also discovered endometriosis.

Late December 2009 - At our post opp we were told our new medical plan was D/D/M/S. What does that stand for you ask? Dinner, dancing, movies, and sex. I decided to give it a shot. Our RE was pretty certain we would get pregnant.

March 2010 - We switched doctor's. I was dissappointed because I LOVED my doctor. But so did everyone else and appointments were so hard to get. We also ran into a little insurance problem, so we had no choice but to switch.

Middle March 2010 - First appointment with new RE. We liked him but don't love him. We went over my history and he recommended doing IVF on the next available run dates. Unfortunatley, our insurance only covers IVF after six failed attempts at IUI. Kind of a bummer but hey at least we are getting somewhere, right?

April 2010 - IUI #1 with Clomid. BFN

May 2010 - IUI # 2 with Clomid. BFN

June 2010 - My RE decided he would like to do another laparoscopy because I still showed signs of endometriosis. He was right. I still had endometriosis.

Middle June 2010 - Post opp with Dr. G. He says I'm good to go for my next cycle.

Late June/ Early July 2010- IUI # 3 with Clomid. BF

Middle July 2010- IUI # 4 with Clomid. BFN

August 2010- IUI # 5 with Clomid. BFN

September 2010- IUI #6 with Clomid. BFN

October 2010- Currently waiting to start injections for IVF!!!!!!!!

November 4th 2010- Started IVF injections. Follistim 75-150 IU, Menopur 1cc.

November 10th 2010- Follistim lowered to 75 IU.

November 11th 2010- Triggered with Ovidrel.
