    About Me

    I've been married to my DH for 9 years. We waited so long to start TTC because a medication I had to take had the potential to cause serious birth defects. I no longer take this medication, so we are taking more aggressive steps to TTC. I should have had a clue about my infertility long ago since we haven't used birth control in almost 15 years and no "accidents".

    Interests

    • Close Infertility

      According to my RE I have "ovulatory issues". Had a myomectomy in 2007 to remove a 9 cm fibroid. Tubes are clear, normal periods and ovulation (as far as I know), might have a slight male factor involved too, this is a new development. I have a high estrogen level, and I am told that could compromise the quality of my eggs. Had 2 failed IUI's with Bravelle and HCG. I am about to undergo a hysteroscopy to remove a polyp

      Treatments

      Artificial Insemination Not Working
      2 failed IUI's with Bravelle & HCG
      Basal Thermometer Not Working
      Very stressful & a big pain, didn't get pregnant so I can't really say how effective it was
      Folic Acid Working / Worked
      Not pregnant yet, but I know folic acid is important so I take it every day.
      hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Not Working
      Used it with both IUI's. Can barely tolerate the side effects - weight gain and crazy teenage acne!
      HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Somewhat Helpful
      I had 2 - one before myomectomy and one after. Both were completely 100% painless and everything looked good.
      Hysteroscopy Somewhat Helpful
      Hysteroscopy with removal of another fibroid in March 2008. Surgery itself was a piece of cake, just some light spotting afterwards.
      Lupron Working / Worked
      I began Lupron shots on Dec 13th in preparation for IUI #2. According to my RE it did what it was supposed to do - which was keep follicles from growing too large too fast. It also kept my estrogen level lower.
      Ovulation Predictor Kit Not Working
      I don't know if I really trust them. I've tried the POAS ones and saliva. Still not pregnant, so...
