About Me
I am a happily married Kindergarten teacher with fat cat, a german shephard, and a crazy pug. I love my family. I have the most amazing husband, parents, and 2 brothers. My philosophy in life is that everything happens for a reason. God is the cornerstone of my life. Without my faith, I would be lost in this world. I love teaching, swimming, learning about the medical field, traveling, and prayer. I am so excited to see how this journey turns out. We have been ttc for over 2 years. IVF is our plan.

Congrats on the pregnancy!!!!!

Congratulations! And thanks for the advice regarding a 5 day. I wish we could've done that last time but I guess we didn't have enough fertilized (7). We did 2, 8 cell embryos on day 3. I'm so happy it worked for you. Was this your 1st IVF? Did you request the 5 day? What did you do during your 2WW? Did you relax and take it easy the whole time? Did you lift anything over 10 lbs? Did you exercise? I'm so bummed it didn't work for us and just trying to decide when to do it again. I want to do it right away but am so scared it won't work and we'll be devestated again. I just need the strength to make that phone call and get the meds ordered. Best of luck! I'm really happy for you guys. I'll be praying for your little baby.
Hug
wishing you a wonderful rest of your week!

Close Infertility
Type: Hormonal DisordersMy hubby and I have been ttc for over 2 years. We tried it all: charting, exercising, bbt, opk, etc. After the 1st 9 mos. I started clomid...nothing. Finally, at 1yr 2mos. we were referred to a fertility doctor. After a workup of bloodwork, ultrasounds, semen analysis, hysterosalpingogram, etc. We were told the news. My eggs are surrounded by a barier of cells. This is due to too much hormone (that wasn't a huge shocker :) Also, my husband has a very low count. So...IVF it is.
Treatments
- Basal Thermometer Somewhat Helpful
- Great for monitoring ovulation and better understanding your cycle.
- Clomid Working / Worked
- 3 months prescribed by OBGYN who didn't want to deal with me. Finally, she referred me to a fertility clinic where I was told that clomid was NOT what I needed.
- Folic Acid Too Soon to Tell
- Taking LOTS of folic acid to improve ovarian cells.
- HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Working / Worked
- I now know that I have no signs of endometriosis. Looks good in there.
- In Vitro Fertilization Working / Worked
- IN JUNE!!!!!!
- Ovulation Predictor Kit Not Working
- I did not like these. They did not show that I ovulated, but my RE says that I do without question.
Close Pregnancy
My dh and I did an IVF cycle beginning in June. The Pregnancy test was July 8th and POSITIVE. My hcg levels have steadily increased and I have an ultrasound soon to tell how many are in there. We feel very blessed!!
