Well to try and sum things up, we got married on December 2, 2002, I got pregnant right away, without trying and got my first BFP on February 14th, Valentines Day! On March 13, 2003 I had a dialation and suction procedure because the baby died back at around 7 or so weeks.

Ever since my m/c my cycles haven't been regular. I has to take provera a few times to get things started again and was finally put on Clomid to help me ovulate. After 6 cycles of that and no pregnancy, I stopped taking it and was referred to my RE. Since I have been with him, I have done two IUIs with a new fertility drug called Femara and have taken injectables and used a trigger shot both times to make myself ovulate.

We decided to take a month or two off seeing how we didn't think my insurance would pay for the IUIs, which they did, and i am not waiting on this long cycle to be over with. I am spotting but no AF as of yet.

I will be going back on Femara on cd3 - cd7 but without the IUI this new cycle since I will have missed my IUI day because of a vacation trip coming up next week. But I need something to regulate me enough so we can do a few more IUIs before our cruise in September.

Well girls, that is about it for me.

I have never EVER dreamed it would take all this to even try to get me pregnant again. But without the drugs and the doctors, I don't ovulate on my own and when I do, which doesn't always happen, my chances of conception are slim.

After a few more attempts at IUIs, my only other alternative will be an IVF. We can't really afford that right now, but we will do that later on if necessary.

AND we are in the process of adopting too. Right now we are just doing the moutains and mountains of paperwork, so that is still far off too. We just want to try all our avenues!

Wanting a child is the only thing that has meant this much to me. Since my m/c my life has felt very empty!

Well my AF finally came so I am back on my femara to keep me regulated until my next IUI. That should happen sometime by the end of July. I HOPE

I am not doing such a great job in temping this cycle! LOL Ahhhhhhh screw it.... I'll be doing an IUI next cycle anyway. This is just for kicks anyway! LOL

Still waiting on AF to show on this new cycle. Even with femara I don't know if I ovulated or not. And then again, I didn't temp either. So no surprise there.

I am bloated and cranky feeling so maybe AF is on it's way. I temped this morning with a low temp of 97.57 and that is usually my before O or right before AF temp. So here I sit.... panty liner in place and waiting for something to happen.
