Ok, Ok!

So I guess I will make an intro here because when I stalk my girls I will have to make a few replies and I don't want people saying "who is that chick that keeps popping in!"

I am April and DH and I have been TTC for over a year. We actually got a BFP on our second cycle in Feb 07! Hmmm....I wonder how many people on TTC #1 were annoyed with me back then!

Anyway that pg ended in a m/c and so did the next two. We have had a ton of testing done to try and find a cause and nothing really came back abnormal except my MTHFR (heterozygous). So my plan is...I take Folgard (B6, B12, and folic acid), my regular prenatal, baby aspirin and Femara from CD3-CD7. Then 5 days after I finish the Femara I have an U/S to check egg development and then an HCG trigger to induce ovulation. Five days after my trigger I start prometrium and heparin injections (and stop the BA while on the heparin). The idea is that the Femara will help increase uterine lining and help to produce a healthier, more mature egg. The prometrium is to help support a possible pregnancy and the heparin is for the MTHFR thing and just because it might help! According to my RE there really is no indication for it but it might help and it wont hurt....so why not!

At this point I am willing to do anything that might help. I have always ovulated on my own and when I was pg my prog was always ok...we are just doing all this to give my body a boost so to speak. We want to provide the best possible environment for a little bean to settle in to! We did our first cycle of this regimen last month and were unsuccessful...I am now on CD 4 of our second try. My RE is going to let us try this for 3 cycles and then if we aren't pg he will do a lap to check for endo...which I think I have around my bladder because I have crazy bladder spasms around AF time.

So that is me!

Hee hee...I didn't last time because I figured I was getting the trigger so why bother but I was annoyed that I didnt' know exactly what day I did O!

I like to be in control!

Glad to see you here. I know what you mean about control, I love temping because it is nice after all my life never knowing what my cycles would be. Now I basically know when AF should start and when I ovulate. Of course this cycle is throwing me for a bit of a loop, but AF should show any second now. (tapping fingers)

Hey Shannon! I haven't been able to make it to chat in such a long time! I am going to try to make it this week though...I work until 8pm so it depends on how tired I am when I get home!

I miss it!

Thanks! If we have a girl her name is going to be Haylea! I have always loved the name and our spelling comes from my middle name which is Lea. I hope I get to use it!
