    About Me

    I am 32 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. 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!

    Interests

    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!

    • Close Infertility
      Type: Endometriosis

      TTC 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!
