April Fools..........

I was hoping that if I started a blog I would all the sudden come up with an incredible entry into blog world....well I am frantically typing while my almost 3 year old is eating breakfast...watching Clifford....strapped in her high chair. Thank god for high chairs....will tell you more about that later. This blog will be about our journey through secondary infertilitly.....it all began Oct of 2007. Will begin with my history......

1. married my hubby sept 04 in MEXICO!!!!!!!! what an incredible time of life.
2. went off bcp sometime in 2006.
3. after about 4 months of ttc ....found out I was prego!
4. after a very easy pregnancy had my daughter 3 weeks early....had to have a c-section ...she was breech! she weighed in at 5 lbs 15 oz....small but perfect.....came home on mothers day! what a blessing
5. had a post op infection from c section....it was superficial and "not that bad" only had a little redness, but it persisted for about 3 weeks.
6. enjoyed my peanut ......what a wonderful baby!
7. started to ttc agian oct 07
8. pregnant again found out in feb 08....took about 4-5 months again.
9. march of 08 had some right sided pain.....thought I was having a appendicitis.......hubby made me go to doc becuase we were leaving for new zealand in two days!
found out I had an ectopic preg. trip canceled and I got two shots of methotrexate (ouch) in my ass. ....although I should metion I consider myself "lucky" because my tube did not rupture......even though I was "lucky"......I was very very distraught.
10. it took months and months for my beta to drop to under five. had multiple occasions were it plateaued and I just wanted surgery to "be done with this". had to have a second round of methotrexate (ouch again)......
finally my beta was "4". I started my folic acid again.......and waited.
11. started ttc again in Aug 08.....no luck..........
12. got an HSG done in Oct of 08..........thought this would be my answer.
HSG revealed open left tube that spilled, but the dye loculated around the end of my fallopian tube indicating some mild adhesions. on the right side (ectopic side) my tube did not fill at first, but after more dye it filled and they "think" it spilled....but also had some adhesions on this side....probalby worse.
13. doc said try for a couple months and come back in your don't get prego in 2-3 months.
14. went back to doc and started clomid dec 08
15. First clomid and IUI DEC 25th!!!!!!!! I was praying for a christmas miracle. bpn
16. same thing jan, feb, march. bpn.
17. had all my infertility workup in this period.........tested good, execpt progesterone....they think I may have luteal phase defect....my progest.. rose nicely, but dropped on cd 24 to 5. (something)
so I also started prometrium.....lucky me.
hubby did SA......with outstanding results. ....execpt viscosity is high....he is on the tussin.
18. after 3ed failed IUI they recommended a lap.
19. decided to go to CCRM in denver, as they do not have an RE here in Bozeman. did a phone consult in March 08 and scheduled surgery for
April 14. One day workup is April 13th. If anyone has any comments or are familiar with CCRM would love to know.
20. did ttc this month.......maybe a miracle will happen...but I am not holding my breath.
emotionally this has been such a rollercoaster.........as many people out there know. I would not wish this on anyone. I have tried to be so patient......but this has definitley tested me as a person, as a wife, and as a mom.
