Re: ~*~ 3T Grad Check In ~*~
I had a consult on Monday with my OB office and went back in yesterday for a meeting with the midwife (I chose midwife care over OB care) and I had an ultrasound. I'm so glad that I chose to go with midwife care - I left the office feeling super positive, all of my questions were answered, I wasn't rushed through my appointment, and I felt confident and comfortable with my choice of trying to have a natural birth.
Here's a picture from yesterday of my little bean. I'm amazed that I have this perfect little human growing in my belly. I'm so thankful and blessed.
QOTW - I loved Scooby Doo. Loved, loved, loved it.
RE appointment & testing December 2013 - February 2014= Unexplained IF, possible endometriosis
IUI#1- March 22 (100mg clomid, 75 mg of Bravelle, Ovidrel trigger) = BFP!!!
Hi, ladies. :-h
All is well here. Had my first OB appt this week and everything still looks great. The baby was flipping and flopping! It was crazy to see. Every once and a while s/he would stick a foot right up on the ultrasound and we could see little toes. All the movement made it hard to get a good ultrasound pic, but that is okay. It is good to know s/he is moving and wiggling. NT scan is next Friday. Assuming all is still well at the NT scan we will announce on FB and be officially out.
Here is the best pic we got.
Miss you ladies like crazy and lurking on you always.
QOTW: Rainbow Brite

Dx : DOR
IUI #1 (Follistim switched over to Menopur injections) - BFN
Attempted IUI #2 (Menopur injections only cycle) better response on the Menopur then the Follistim combination treatment cycle however my cycle was still canceled due to my eggs not maturing and follicles not growing enough on a high dose of Menopur (Re said I could try a cycle of comid + ovidrel for an IUI) for my second IUI( praying this works for us)
Clomid + Ovidrel protocol worked still a BFN as a result
Attempted cycle Clomid + Ovidrel protocol for IUI # 3 (Unable to do this cycle due to a cyst)
IUI # 3 Clomid+ Ovidrel protocol - BFP Beta #1 752 Beta #2 1536 Beta #3 3797
