Took a break. Back with a plan and an angry boss

in Trouble TTC
I haven't been on the bump in about a month due to canceling the internet at home to save up because we have a plan!

Met with our RE and we love him! I have a laparoscopy/hysteroscopy scheduled May 15. He said we can do IUI the following cycle as long as he's able to see that I have at least one clear tube.

My boss originally said I couldn't have off for surgery. I had to have the RE write a letter explaining that these things are timely and that it had to be done. I'm a little miffed, but oh well. In the end, he agreed I could have off for the surgery and one day to recover (glad my doc through in the needed recovery day into the letter!)

Me: 30   DH: 29
TTC since 2010
Oct. 2012 HSG: One blocked tube, one clear
Oct. 2012 U/S: All good
March 2014 SA: Flying Colors
April  2014: Met our RE/Got our plan!
May 2014: laparoscopy/hysteroscopy removed stage II endometriosis
June 2014: IUI w/100mg Clomid (BFN)
July 2014: IUI w/100mg Clomid (BFN)
August 2014: IUI w/100mg Clomid (BFP!)
September 2014: Beta 1 at 14 DPIUI: 100
September 2014 Beta 2 at 16 DPIUI: 239
September 2014: Beta 3 at 23 DPIUI: 3,159
U/S 9/26: One healthy baby! Measuring 1 day ahead and a FHR of 119 @ 6W4D (EDD May 18)
U/S 10/26 (first OBGYN visit): Measuring 1 day behind and a FHR of 160 @ 8 weeks. Looks like an upside-down Teddy Graham!

    Sorry your boss is a jerk. Good for you for sticking to your guns, though.

    Great REs are hard to come by. That's awesome.

    Ugh, what a jerk boss! Sorry you had to deal with their attitude but happy that you are able to get the procedure scheduled and on the books. Best of luck and let us know how it goes! :)

    Trying to have baby #1 since April 2013

    DH SA March,May 2014 - Low motility and shape issues. On vitamins per RE to help

    Me testing April 3, 2014 - FSH and LH good, HSG showed blocked right tube

    April 29, 2014 - First RE appt., right tube needs to be removed and possibly left also if

    it's bad too. RE suggests going straight to IVF

    June 4, 2014 - LAP/HSC and unexpected endo. removed but tubes got to stay!

    June 13, 2014 - Post-Op appointment. We decide where to go next since main issue

    is MFI influenced. Trying naturally until decision... Repeat SA  in September. Aiming for IUI #1 November 2014.
