Our Journey....

09/07/09-BFP!!
08/31-5 day transfer...2 eggs made it
08/26-ER (7 eggs retrieved, only 3 fert)
Too many follices...convert to IVF
08/09-First IUI Cycle
7/09-BFN
6/27-U/S shows one overmature follicle-29mm in size. Triggering anyway!
6/13-Start Femara
6/09-Cysts gone, Had a regular 28 day cycle!
05/29- 2 cysts, but strong ovulation (p4 @ 40) = BFN
05/5-Finally start cycle with Femara+Trigger
04/09-Start Estrace b/c provera didn't induce a period
01/23/09- D/C
01/13/09-Missed m/c at 9w4d
01/09-Baby P isn't growing properly, but HB is found!
12/03/08-BFP!
12/08-Last cycle on Femara, next step injectables
09/08-Started Femara (still annovulation)
07/08-Appoint with Re; Diagnosed with PCOS/started Metformin, HSG-Clear, SA-normal
06/08-Referred to RE (Dr. C)
04/08-Started clomid bc of annovulation
02/08-Tried provera to 'jump-start' cycles
01/08-Appoint with OB (no period since 08/07)
