Teresa's Pieces: Today

Coasting Day 2
Nothing new to report
except how quickly dread darkens
my flickers of hope

TTC History

November 2007--The pants fly! Start TTC.

June 2008--After whole lotta nothing-- Dig out my Catholic "Natural Family Planning" books and start cracking down on bbt temping and debating the actual consistency of egg whites.

October 2008--Check in with my family doctor and get hormone levels checked. Everything looks good. Get referred to an RE.

November 2008-Visit RE and start more extensive testing. Morphology comes back below 5%. I may have one blocked tube. hormones look good. IUI's recommended.

March 2009--Jump into IVF #1. Due to our relatively good prognosis we are asked to join a study regarding transferring 1 vs. 2 blastocysts using Long Lupron protocol. I am blissfully optimistic and ignorant during this cycle. After 17 days of stims and a seriously lackluster showing by my ovaries, we transfer 2 poor quality embryos. BFN.

October 2009--Decided IVF #1 was a fluke and start IVF #2. Antagonist protocol. Decent looking levels, retrieve 9 eggs, but only 4 mature. Transfer 3 embryos. BFN. RE starts pushing donor eggs.

October 2010--IVF #3. Best Cycle Yet! 17 eggs Ret'd, 10 Mature, 8 fertilized. Transfer 3 embryos, 10 cell, 8 cell, 6 cell. BFN.
