TTC Timeline

Jan uary 31, 2012--Atticus Lawrence and Damien Elliot were born.

Oct '11--Two boys!

July '11--Two heart beats!

June '11--IVF #2.0 (antagonist). 18 eggs, 4 fertilized. Transferred 3, none to freeze. BFP!!

May '11--FET#2, transfer last 2 blasts. Chemical/BFN

March 31st, 2011--miscarriage at 7w6d.

Feb '11--FET #1, transfer 2 blasts. Holy shit--BFP!!

Jan '11--cyst drained. IVF #1.75 (antagonist) yields 2 transferred blasts, 4 frozen blasts, and a BFN.

Nov '10--another Long Lupron, with twice the lupron...which gives me a 7 cm cyst. IVF #1.5 is cancelled.

Oct '10--IVF attempt #1 is cancelled.

Sept '10--Long Lupron protocol. Lupron stims me!

August '10--repeat S/A. Slight improvement (1% morph, 7% motility, 1.7 million total count), but not good enough. We go to an RE. My hormones are perfect, but to our surprise, my HSG shows my right tube is blocked. Huh. We don't do anything about it, since with the sperm issues, it's IVF/ICSI for us anyway.

June '10--JimDear's hormones are normal, and everything looks good. Except the sperm. So...He starts a vitamin regime, and a reduced-alcohol, no-heated-car-seats, no-fun, haha way of life.

May '10--JimDear gets his first S/A. It sucks.

April '10--see my gyno. She's useless.

June '09--dive in: charting, OPKs, the works.
