    About Me

    We just moved to Portland Oregon as my husband got a job working for Nike. After living in Miami for 2 years, this city is a breath of fresh air. I'm from Indiana and my husband is from Argentina. We met online while my husband was living in London and I was in Indianapolis. We got engaged in Paris 6 months later and married within a year in Argentina where my husband planned the whole wedding! I was 34 when we married and my husband was 31. It is quite a romantic story and my friends think I should write a novel. I am a Montessori preschool teacher but am not working at the time. Right now I am focusing on our new home, enjoying gardening, decorating, photography, and loving the west coast. It is gorgeous here. I feel like some good luck will come our way soon since we now live in a place that was rated #1 city to have a baby in. Plus, the organic lifestyle here has to eventually make an impression on my fertile soul....right?!

    Interests

    Children (my friends call me the kid whisperer..I should have been "The Supernanny" ;), I also love decorating, photography, organizing, animals, and lots of travel with my hubby.

      From tmt3 Yesterday

      Thanks so much for your thoughts. I think I am doing good. :) I am a little superstitious but the nausea is starting to go away so that always makes things better. :) I am still a little weird to tell more people we are pregnant but with me showing more, it's hard to hide. I have another u/s with the high risk doctor in a week and a half so it will be exciting to see the babies again. I think I will feel so much more at ease then. Hopefully :) I will keep you posted. How old are your twins?

    • Close Infertility
      Type: Endometriosis

      I have been married 3 1/2 years, trying to conceive 4 years. We have been through 6 inseminations, 2 fresh IVF's, and 3 FET's, laparoscopy a year ago, (endo),organic eating, Chinese herbs, and meditation. You name it, we have tried it. All in all, I try to remain optimistic and believe it is in God's hands. 10/05/07 PREGNANT FINALLY after IVF #3 10/26/07 miscarriage..NO!!! Our last FET failed. Damn it. 5th transfer and still no babies. Considering a 3rd fresh cycle.

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Working / Worked
      IT GOT ME PREGNANT AFTER 3 YEARS OF INFERTILITY. IVF COUPLED WITH ACUPUNCTURE FOR 3 MONTHS WAS THE KEY FOR ME. Now I need to find out how to STAY pregnant. ugh
      Artificial Insemination Not Working
      6 inseminations using clomid and follistim. The last insemination was April 07 using 225 cc's of follistim.
      Clomid Not Working
      Only used clomid for 2 months in the very beginning 2 yrs ago.
      Follistim Working / Worked
      Used Follistim the last 3 inseminations and 1 fresh IVF. 2nd fresh IVF WORKED!
      In Vitro Fertilization Working / Worked
      1 fresh IVF, retrieved 10 eggs, all 10 fertilized, 5 made it to blast. Put in 2 grade A embies...no luck. Froze 3 embies, put all 3 with frozen IVF, no luck. 3rd IVF WORKED!! (2nd fresh) Miscarried at 5 weeks
    • Close Endometriosis

      I'm 38 years old and have been trying to conceive for 3+ years. I had a laparoscopy 2 years ago when they discovered endo stage II. The doc told me he found a lot of endo but was surprised that I had no scarring.

      Treatments

      Surgery Somewhat Helpful
      The surgery helped my monthly pain for about 3 months. The pain came back, then gone again. Now it seems like it comes and goes which is much better than before. update 06/08 -- I have not had any pain since my miscarriage? For the last 9 months I have had regular periods. (no pain!)Not sure why but I am happy!
    • Open Adoption
      Type: Open Adoption

      My husband and I have gone through infertility for three years and are now considering adoption. We want to have at least 3 children weather we concieve them or someone else does. I am a preschool teacher and have worked with children and parents for a very long time. I can love any child like my own! If anyone has adoption advice, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks!

    • Open Twins, Triplets & More

      My husband's dad is a twin and we are praying for twins with our next IVF! We would love to have an immediate family! Congrats to all of you who are doubly blessed!! :)
