Happy Birthday

Today would have been my Dad's 73rd birthday. We lost him to an painful battle with pancreatic cancer 11 years ago this month. I miss him more than words can say. This is my favorite picture of us together.

Happy Birthday Dad! I love you!!

October 2004 -1st cycle TTC after m/c....BFP! but m/c again at 6 wks......off to the RE for testing.

November 2004-First RE Appt. Diagnosed with MTHFR and PCOS. Also found 8cm cyst on right ovary, recommend lap for removal. Start glucophage,baby aspirin and folic acid and b/c pills to shrink the cyst, HSG-clear and normal

May 2005-surgery to remove cyst also found some spots of mild endo which are removed, try naturally for 6 months.

October 2005 -5 Clomid cycles with timed BD over the next year...all BFN's.

Setember 2006-Take a long treatment break, insurance changes....NO IF coverage.

September 2008-Made a long overdue appointment with my RE. Testing all over again everything turned out normal except for previous issues. Clomid Challenge Test and SA results all good.

November 2008-1st injectible cycle- Bravelle and timed BD- CD 10-good response, 4 large follicles, HCG Trigger.... BFN
