June ICLW

Hi to anyone visiting from ICLW!

I just finished up my last day of school with my first graders.  I had really been hoping to be pregnant by the end of the year but it didn't happen.  In two months I will head back to work and will either be heading back pregnant and excited or not pregnant and wondering how to survive another school year and more infertility treatments.

My husband and I started dating our senior year in high school and have been together ever since.  We got married in June of 2009 and have spent the last 18 months trying to get pregnant w/out any success.  We will be 30 early next year and for the longest time I had wanted to have our first child before we were 30.  Clearly that isn't happening and I am finally okay with it (well as okay as I can be.)


As for my history...I went on Clomid in October and November of last year but I pretty much chalk that up to a waste because I wasn't monitored and my cycles were all over the place.  It wasn't until I had my first appt. with my RE Dr. P, in January that something was done about my high prolactin levels and I began taking bromocriptine every night before bed which has regulated me (kind of) and stopped the 40+ day cycles.  We spent the next few months trying on our own and then I had a failed IUI in April.  After getting that news I went in and met with Dr. P who decided it would be best to try IVF.  We are kind of a combination of unexplained and MFI.  These past two months we spent once again trying on our own with negative results.   We are currently preparing for our first IVF cycle and I am awaiting my period which should hopefully come any minute now (literally haha.)  We have a busy summer ahead of us with 3 weddings, a lot of parties, and summer school, but what is most important is our upcoming IVF cycle.  Those three little letters are going to consume these next 6-7 weeks, mentally, physically, and emotionally!!  Ahh...I hope we are ready for it!

That's about it...Thanks for reading along!  Hopefully we all have good news to celebrate soon!
