My Treatment History
9/2002- Got married to the love of my life and began trying to have a baby. Stopped birth control after taking for several years.
1/2003- Went to GYN after months of temping and never getting AF. I was told it is normal for the body to take months to "get back to normal" after being on birth control for so long and sent home.
4/2003-Still never had AF and was obviously not ovulating. Saw and RE and was diagnosed as "the poster child for PCOS." Put on Metformin.
4/2003-8/2003- Met did asolutely nothing to help me ovulate. Saw a new RE who put me on clomid.
8/2003-8/2005- Several cycles of clomid/IUI and Femara/IUI only to ovulate three times. RE Recommended moving straight to IVF.
8/2005-8/2007- Save/raise money for IVF.
8/2007-11/2007- Insurance company denies referral for IVF. Insists I do at least two cycles of injectables/IUI before moving on to IVF. Doctor not happy but agrees to move forward.
12/2007- First Injectable/IUI cycle begins.
12/29/07- IUI with injectables #1-BFN
1/16/08- Need to "sit out" due to two 4 cm ovarian cysts.
2/20/08- U/S & B/W for beginning IVF- Beta came back at 9-told it was likely a chemical pregnancy
2/22/08- Beta came back at zero, confirmed chemical pregnancy
3/13/08- Started BCPs for first IVF Cycle.
3/19/08- Mock Embryo Transfer
3/31/08- Started Lupron
4/06/08- AF arrived
4/8/08- Lupron eval, E2 level came back elevated (78), postponed starting stims.
4/14/08- Started Stims

Wow! Cool! I wonder if mine will look similar on Tuesday!
Yay! What a cutie! I just added my new one too. It's amazing how big they get so quickly. I'm so glad things are going well, and thanks for the kind words. The fact that you mentioned that it must be tough to be off work so long made me smile, rather than someone saying oh you're so lucky to have time off to do nothing. You always "get me" and what I'm feeling...thanks, it means a lot :-)
Hi Doozer!!
Hey Doozer!!! You are getting so big!!! Keep it up!!!!! :)
So sweet!!
So cool! I can't wait until you find out the gender so that I can suggest wildly hideous names.
I like Doozer for a name. LOL
You could go with Birdie Doozer...now that would be a sexy twist :-) I am so pathetic with way too much time on my hands now, sorry :-)
It looks JUST like you!
JK. I love these early US shots. It could be just about anything in there. Congrats!
Doozer looks amazing!! Can't wait to see Doozer grow!!
happy for you!
Am here from NCLM.

Doozer sounds like an awesome name!

Too adorable!! Precious!!!
Here from NCLM!
Congratulations, in a few months you will look your baby and will not believe that he/she was so small one day.
Hi from NCLM!
Congrats! That is a beautiful u/s picture! :)
NCLM here. Congrats, all the best with your pregnancy.
Great picture, even if I can't quite make head or tail of it!!
Yeah, unfortunately I'll be awake (but numb) just like a scheduled C-section under spinal. But at least my friend will be there with me (she's the CRNA and will do the spinal). But thanks for being concerned...I'm still not looking forward to it. Hope you're doing good :-)
Beautiful!
Congrats!
what a great looking baby! congrats!
Yay SGFC! Hope that everything continues to go well.
Congrats! What a great picture! NCLM
Looks great! So happy for you!
My u/s pic looked very similar, same name in the upper left hand corner . . . I was also at SGF. I was very pleased with my experience there.
Congrats on your pregnancy and best wishes for everything continuing to go well.
Here from NCLM, congrats what a cutie!
