I have just starting posting on the TTGP boards and found this one! My husband and I have a beautiful 5 year old daughter who was born severely disabled. She was born without the majority of her brain. Because of this she ended up with hydrocephalus, CP, Cortical Vision impairment, she is non mobile, non verbal, etc... When she was born we were told if she survived she would never move or smile - and I have to say, her smile is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and her giggle is contagious! We went through YEARS of genetic testing and decided to take the leap :) I look forward to getting to know some other parents of extraordinary kiddos :)
TTC#2 Since July 2011
Me: 29, had two blocked tubes - left was cleared during lap, right was unable to be cleared. PCOS & Stage 2 Endo. DH: 32, SA = perfect
CLOMID: 4 rounds, 50mg + TI = BFN's. FEMARA: 1 round = no response
12-24-2012 : Laparoscopy, Softball sized cyst/endo/scar tissue removed.
Cycle #14 - Feb 2013 : 50mg clomid. Ovidrel Trigger. IUI on 2/14/13 = thin lining, multiple cysts.
Cycle #15 - no meds, still have cysts, no follicles. Boo!
Forced break. Continuous BCP for 6 weeks to give my jacked up ovaries a break.
Cycle #16 actively trying (May/June): Femara, TI = BFN
Cycle #17- #20 - Med/Treatment break, trying on our own = BFN's all around.
Cycle #21 - Femara, MORE Femara, Ovidrel and a Christmas IUI = BFN

    Hello and welcome!

    I see that you are taking Clomid to induce ovulation. Are your doing ultrasounds to monitor follicular development and make sure you have development on on your left ovary? Are you getting +OPK each cycle? 

    I'm a fertility nurse, so sorry to be nosy about your TTCing.

    Hello!!

     My daughter is missing about half of her brain. She has Schizencephaly which is sometimes confused with CP and a lot of times hydrocephalus can be present at birth. We were told the same thing, that she may not live or ever even hold her head up on her own. She is 10 months and is starting to crawl!!

    Welcome and happy to have you!!

    Hello! Yes I am having U/S monitoring, and have only developed follicles on the left so far - which is great :) I have been getting +opk's around CD 18-19. We will be trying IUI if this cycle doesn't work. Hoping it's not needed! And don't apologize for asking!
