A year ago this month, we were finding out about DH's MFI and I was having a biopsy for a suspected breast cancer.
Fortunately, I don't have breast cancer.
Dx: MFI, DOR, 9 Fibroids and homozygous MTHFR

I was in wine country in California... sipping on some good stuff!
But, I was licking my wounds from my disastrous double miscarriage IVF #2 cycle.... as much as I would love some wine right now, I am so happy for where I am this year!

A year ago I was in the lowest place I've ever been and I hope I never feel that way again. I was still reeling from yet another loss after IVF #3. I was at the start of a 5-6 month break during which we did some further testing and got second and third opinions. It was a dark time. It is so amazing the difference a year can make.
TTC with unexplained IF since 8/2007
6 losses, one beautiful perfect boy in our arms
Finnishing BCP's for my first round of IVF.. H and i were also getting ready for vacation to Chatham down on the Cape.
4 yrs ago thought H and I were at our rehersal dinner, a cruise around Boston Harbor and got married the next day...
A year ago today I was just starting up treatment cycles after my ectopic in March. We were beginning our first medicated IUI cycle. I was very hopeful as i was able to get pregnant quickly on clomid. Little did I know that my body would completely shut down on me.
A year ago I had a 3.5 month old baby! I cannot believe how big she seems now! I had lost all of my pregnancy weight and was wearing a bikini with massive boobies from bfing....it was awesome. Not so much this year (the boobie part)
TWO years ago today I had my first IVF ET which resulted in my beautiful daughter! I don't know what I'd do or where I'd be without her.
Clomid M/C 8 weeks 2/08 *IVF #1-DD born 3/09
*Surprise BFP-T18 baby lost at 13w 1/10 *FET #1-DS born 2/11
A year ago Friday, I had my HSG and was so hopeful that it would be the cycle we'd get pg. The beginning of the next cycle is what prompted us to seek a specialist and figure out what was going on with my body.

Was celebrating my 25th birthday not aware that a month later I would be diagnosed with PCOS, that a month after that DH would be diagnosed with low morph, and that a year later I would be KU with twins!
A year ago today I was 4 weeks away from my first RE appointment.
How weird. This is what I was going to say! I also was going to add that I was having a pity party for myself all summer long last year as I had a lap in June and was told I couldn't try for 2 months.
A year ago this week it really hit me that getting pregnant on our own wasn't going to do it, so I called the OB to set up an appt to have a talk about it. Having to pick up the phone and saying I think there was a problem was one of the scariest things I had to do at the time, but in the end I am glad I did it when I did.
I was so excited that we were going to start TTC & CD of my first official cycle trying had begun! I'd have a & day LP that cycle, which progressively got shorter...which led me to my RE...and to a MFI Dx...which led us to going straight to IVF/ICSI & now to our little girl. I feel so blessed to have her kicking away inside of me. Love this lil munchkin!
A year ago it had been one year since my first m/c. We had done two Clomid cycles with no success, and I was officially diagnosed with unexplained IF. We were gearing up for our first injectable IUI cycle. If you would have told me then that I would have 3 IUIs, 2 IVFs, and another m/c under my belt by now, I would have said you were crazy.
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2 After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
A year ago exactly I found out I was pregnant after IUI #3. ?It was a very happy day. ?A week later, an ultrasound confirmed a miscarriage. ?What a year it has been. So glad to be enjoying a healthy pregnancy!!?
A year ago I was as pregnant as I am now...but with Stella! I can't believe my baby girl is almost 1 and I really can't believe I'm about to have another one. Life is pretty amazing!

DX PCOS
Success with #1 after Femara + Trigger + IUI
i was gaining weight, doing "fertility yoga" and everything else i could think of to boost fertility in preparation for our first clomid cycle in august. (obviously none of this worked. it was kind of funny, honestly . . . we did a "trial run" with clomid where i responded great, then i did all of this stuff to try to make myself more fertile and started having a crappy response to clomid. oh well. as someone who only went through five months of IF treatments before getting our sticky BFP, i know how lucky i was and am.)
A year ago this week I was planning my husband's surprise 40th birthday party and preparing to take my nephew (who we are raising) to his college orientation.
DH and I were also blissfully unaware as to how long it would take us to get KU.
TTC (Seriously) from May 2009
