My Story:
Let's see, DH and I decided in January of '08 to start trying. Things were moving slowly, but he also had an emergency appendectomy and then tumor (non-cancerous) removal. I just assumed all would be quick and easy - it was not. Went to GYN, DH SA great. HSG totally clear. Finally got referred to RE in July '09. He leaned towards endo and sure enough, after a lap in August '09, I was officially diagnosed. Mostly stage 3, but some stage 4.

After the lap, we tried on our own for a few months, to no avail. 2 failed IUI's and I needed a break! I took some time off, directed a musical, DH took me to France for a week (my spring break). In France, we decided we were ready for the next step! So, we moved onto IVF.

IVF #1 7/10 - BFN.

Found new RE, in a different city, but with the Attain program. Got everything confirmed with Attain and just had an SIS. Now, waiting to get a timetable for IVF #2!! IVF #2 was another BFN. Did 7 days of shots for IVF #3 and only 2 follies grew, so we just decided to scrap this cycle. We are trying for the old fashioned way, but I'm very doubtful. After next period we will see what's up.

IVF #4 was a bust as well. Eggs just didn't do as well as in previous cycles.

IVF #5 is starting now. I am doing endometrial scoring and then start shots on the 4th of June. fingers crossed big time this time as it will probably be my last....BFN. DH and I are moving on to adoption.

DH and I have gone through all the adoption classes and are working on the mounds of paperwork and getting our album together. I'm so excited about it all!!
