We go to a RE in October 2009. Lovedove gets pregnant on her first double iui in December 2009. She has a mostly uneventful, almost perfect pregnancy. We welcomed Sofia into the world at 8:07am on September 3, 2010. (she was due a few hours earlier, but didnt want to be born on 90210, her mommies would have been too ecstatic)
Baby #2 (my turn, uh oh)
April 2011- obtained Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitor to get my A1C down into a healthier range
July 2011 - initial sonogram discovers a large cyst/endometriosis on my right ovary, right fallopian tube is blocked, surgery needed
September 2011- surgery - laparoscopy to remove cyst from my right ovary, right tube remains blocked, A1C 5.9
October 2011- natural cycle, iui, bfn #1
November 2011- chose to skip this cycle, only had mature follicles on the right side (messed up tube side)
December 2011- 50 mg Clomid cd5-9, ovidrel trigger, double iui, bfn #2 after tfp (tiny faint positive x 2, probably a chemical pg)
January 2012- 50 mg Clomid cd 5-9, hcg trigger, double iui, bfn #3.
February 2012 - forced break/vacation, waiting to see if insurance will cover ivf, they will!
