Our Little Peanut

Here it is. We didn't get to see the Heartbeat cause I am only 5weeks and 5days. We go back next Tuesday for another ultrasound. The good thing though is that I am acutally pregnant =)

Movin' on up

Well my beta went from 186 on monday to 781 on Friday. The RE said she is please with that and we have our first ultrasound on the 20th! I can't wait!!

186!

That's the beta number! We are definately pregnant! Soooo excited. I go in on Friday for a follow up beta to make sure the numbers are rising and then they already scheduled the ultrasound for next Thrusday the 20th! yay!!

Pregnant???

I cannot believe my eyes! I got a pregnant! and here is the proof!! OMG! Beta is Monday so we will see what the numbers are. Hopefully high! Im still crossing my fingers! (sorry if it's not too clear my cell phone camera SUCKS!)

My babies

Well here they are. 9 of them in the blastocyst stage. The 2 circled are the ones we transfered. One of them is already hatching and the other one is starting to. The 2ww is driving my CRAZY. My Beta is Monday and it can't get here any faster. I feel no symptoms what so ever. So I just don't know what to think. I can only hope it worked...Until Monday....

Starting Meds

Here are my meds! Saturday I start Microdose Lupron. 2times a day. Then starting monday I am doing lupron in the morning along with 2 vials of bravelle and in the evening I am doing lupron along with 2 vials of Menopur. I am definately going to be a pin cushin for the next 2 weeks or so. I am getting anxious. I am excited for this cycle. I am feeling very good about it. Although, I do not want to get my hopes up too high. I just have this feeling. Anyways, I go in for a follie check on the 20th.

Our History

We met in high school. I was only 14. He was a few years older than me and the most popular guy in school. I thought he was cute of course and figured I had no chance with him. Little did I know I was wrong. Luckly we hung out with the same group of friends and shortly after we met we began dating. We dated all through out my high school years. But once senior year came I wanted to experiance one year with the girls. No boyfriend to worry about. I wanted to have my fun. So I broke it off. And it lasted for 2 years. He found a new girlfriend and I was beginning to think I had made a mistake just cause I wanted to have my fun. But then one day out of the blue he called me. We talked just as friends but shorlty after we know we still loved eachother. And here were are! We've been married for 5 years. Im Kristin, 27 and DH is 30. And this is our story of trying to start our family.....

I always knew deep down that we would have problems getting pregnant. I always had irregular periods and we hardly ever used protection. After we got married I knew I wanted to try right away. So I went to my PCP and told her I was concerned because of my menstrual history. She said she would run some blood work and request an ultrasound. She said she was thinking maybe I had PCOS. All test checked out normal. She said try for 1 year unprotected and if nothing happens come back to me. I got impatient and about six months later went to my OBGYN. Explained everything to her. Got the same response. Try for one year and if nothing happens come back to me. Well of course nothing happened. One year later still no baby. So I made an appt. She ran some test did another ultrasound and says I in fact do have PCOS. Wants me to see a infertility specialist. Geez, how did I know that was coming? So DH actually ends up getting laid off of his job so TTC is put on the back burner for a long time actually.

This brings us to present time. March 2007 I made my first appt. with the RE. I was very excited about all the possiblities. PCOS was again confirmed. Our first step was injectibles with IUI. So we had things set up for June 07'. I was given Bravelle. It first started off with one vial. Then a week later bumped up to 2. Then 3. I was on the meds for 18 day! But was assured that it was ok. Finally we went in for our IUI. The 2ww was torture. Finally BETA day! I got the call. "well you are kind of pregnant" WHAT?? "You beta is 30, which is kind of low, let's test again Monday" Well the beta rose but not much. Turned out to be a "chemical pregnancy" In my opinion I think it had something to do with being on the meds for so long. It took my body 2 whole months to finally drop down to zero! November 07' our second try at IUI. This time I am immediately started at 3 vials. Seem to be responding well. Then my E2 drops and AF decides to arrive right smack in the middle of the cycle. So I am cancelled. We deciede with the holidays around the corner we are wound to TAB until after the new year. My RE suggests IVF. So we told her we would think about it and get back to her when we were ready. So March 08' we deciede to go ahead with the IVF. Everything seems to go smoothly. I had 7 follicles. I was excited. I was actually responding well to the meds (for me anyways) ER day comes. I wake up and the RE comes in "well, I have some not so good news" We were only able to retrieve ONE egg. So we will see if it fertilizes and come in Monday for transfer" So we go in monday. Needless to say it was a BFN. Here we are one week away from our next IVF. I start Lupron and meds and ER is suppose to be 10-24. I am excited and very hopeful!

So I hope you all will follow my stroy as I will try and follow yours.

Baby Dust to everyone!
