Our Journey of TTC

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 :(

8.25.09 - 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.

10.18.09 - 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.
4.21.11 - we are still TTC; it is discouraging every month, but I have faith and I have to keep the faith that it's all in God's hands.
2.17.12 - decided we were ready to go back to the fertility doctor and get this journey started again since we weren't successful trying on our own.
