Our Infertility Timeline

December of 2012 - our TTC journey began 
January 2013 - Visit to OB-GYN recommends testing for hubby
March 2013 - I am unofficially diagnosed with IC 
March 2013- HSG Test Holly hell did that hurt! Tubes are clear! 
April 2013 - Semen Analysis indicated low sperm count (6 million total)
June 2013 - IUI #1 BFN 
July 2013 - IUI #2 BFN
August 2013 - IUI #3 w/Clomid  BFN 

Time for a break ......with procedures of course. Cue the ovulation tests and timed intercourse. So. Much. Fun


May 2014 - Hubby suggests visiting a fertility clinic for IVF....to seek options. 

June 2014 - The fertility specialists suggest IVF w/ICSI. Can we afford this!?!?!?
July 2014 - Another semen analysis shows my hubby has 25 sperm total! WTH!?!? No other option...on to IVF. 
August 2014 - Sonohystogram and Mock Transfer performed. Three large polyps found on my ovaries. Sweet! 

August 2014 - Hysteroscopy to remove the polyps (my first surgery ever! I was terrified). Of course a hot doctor would get to operate on my hoo-ha! Lining: clean and clear! 

September 28th, 2014 - IVF retrieval 14 eggs retrieved! 9 total embryos! Hubby's sperm count: 12 million! Kind of a big deal! 
September 30th, 2014 - Transfer Day! Two grade A+ embryos transferred (5 grade A embryos left).
October 10th, 2014 - Beta # 1 level at 5 . BFN.  I. am. Devastated
October 14, 2014 - Beta #2  at 80! What!?!?!?!? BFP! My hcg level was low, but had more than doubled!!!! Eeeeeee
October 16th, 2014 - Beta #3 level of 43. Chemical pregnancy. Etopic Pregnany ruled out with later ultrasound and more blood work. 

The  grieving period begins..... 


December 5th, 2014 - I begin Lupron shots (20 units) for January FET. 

December18th,  2014 - Estradiol level shows 384! What!?!?!? In order to proceed with FET, my level has to be at 50! The fertility nurse believes I had a cyst that ruptured on my ovary. Awesome, this puts our transfer day back another week. Not to mention, this estrogen is making me crazy! 
December 26th, 2014 - Estradiol level at 417! It's going up! Seriously!?!? 
December 30th, 2014 - Ultrasound revealed a 5 mm cyst. Drained! Just waiting for my estradiol levels to go down! 
January 5th, 2015 -Estradiol level at 23! YES! Transfer scheduled for January 27th!
January 27th- Transfered two beautiful embryos.....
February 6th, 2015- Beta # 1 at 12. Low, but positive!!!!!!!!
