9.2007 - decided we were ready for a family and started TTC. 2.2008 - found out I had an enlarged uterus. Meant I was either pregnant or had fibroids. Turned out it was the latter and that was scary and upsetting news. 3.21.08 - met with Dr. R to discuss fibroids and my options. 4.17.08 - met with Dr. G, the infertility specialist to discuss surgery and options. 4.18.08 - met with Dr. R again & had an SIS ultrasound. 5.15.08 - 1st Lupron injection to help shrink the fibroid. 6.17.08 - 2nd Lupron injection, had pre-op appt with Dr. G. 7.3.08 - had another SIS ultrasound & pre-op appt at hospital. 7.10.08 - had surgery laparotomy myomectomy (turned out I actually had 11 fibroids (1 the size of a grapefruit & 10 the size of golf balls). In hospital for 3 days, at home recovering for 4 weeks. 8.4.08 - post op appt w/Dr. G 8.25.08 - post op appt w/Dr. R 9.2.08 - another post op appt w/Dr. G 3.17.09 - appt w/Dr. G to discuss fertility options 3.24.09 - started Yaz bc pill 4.??.09 - had an HSG done. Left tube was blocked, probably because of fibroid that they didn't remove. 4.24.09 - started Clomid 100 mg 5.4.09 - appt w/Dr. G for follicle u/s. Nothing :( 5.20.09 - missed period - negative :( 8.21.09 - went for baseline u/s 8.23.09 - started Femera pills for 5 days 8.25.09 - started Follistem 100 inj for 6 nights 8.31.09 - went for follicle u/s, 1 unmature follicle, estrogen levels were high enough to receive HCG trigger shot. 8.31-9.6.09 - our "busy" time 9.14.09 - started period :( waiting on Dr. G to let us know what's next. Have to sit out a cycle before I can start meds again. 10.13.09 - started period :( Called Dr. G to find out what's next. Going in tomorrow for baseline u/s to check for cysts, pollyps. 10.16.09 - went for baseline u/s, everything looked ok, ready to start pills and injections again. 10.18.09 - start Femera pills for 5 days 10.20.09 - start Follistem 150 inj for 6 nights 10.26.09 - went in for follicle u/s. nothing :(. nothing on my right ovary, nurse couldn't see my left ovary because of fibroid. Estrogen levels were 239 which indicates 2 mature follicles, but because they didn't see them, I couldn't get trigger shot. Just told to "have fun" the next week and half. 11.8.09 - started period :( Waiting for Dr. G to call me back with our next step. 11.16.09 - decided to put TTC on hold until I can get my weight under some sort of control.
We went to Holiday World one last time this year. The we was me, Beth, Tommy, Gavin, Mom, Bowen, Heather, Zoe and Brent. We had a great time and was completely wore out by the end of the day.
