Infertility Sucks
A brief history of my attempts to have a baby:
1998 or 1999 – 2000-ish – Try to have a baby with husband #1. Unsuccessful. Never went to the doctor
2001 – 2005 – Need some time to be free and get over my bad/failed marriage
2005 – Brother’s killed and I’m in no shape for anything
2005 – Meet husband #2
January 2007 – Move in with husband #2, stop using birth control
October 2008 – Marry husband #2
January 2009 – Go to local ob/gyn re: possible infertility; no workup other than fibroid diagnosis
February 2009 – Fibroid surgery
April 2009 – Fibroid surgery #2; told to try on our own to get pregnant for the rest of the year, then come back if it doesn’t work
November 2009 – Schedule appt. with specialty clinic
January 2010 – Get worked up at specialty clinic. Turns out there are multiple issues. IVF recommended
February 2010 – IVF #1 cancelled due to cyst
March/April 2010 – IVF #2, chemical pregnancy (very early miscarriage)
July/August 2010 – IVF #3, chemical pregnancy (very early miscarriage)
Need to wait until January 2011 for various reasons – then: IVF #4
It’s hard to go through this. It’s not necessarily going to turn out happy. I do better just not thinking about it, unless there’s something specific that needs to be done.
Infertility sucks.
IVF #4 worked! I am officially pregnant! Due date: October 26, 2011.
IVF #4 pregnancy ended in a missed miscarriage at 11 weeks, 5 days. FET planed for July, 2011.
Our FET worked! I'm 6 weeks pregnant with twins!
