Our journey dealing with PCOS, crappy morphology, pregnancy and parenting after infertility
Our ttc history:
- March 2008 - August 2008 - 7 failed rounds of Clomid. Ovulated during the first 5 cycles, but all BFN.
- August 2008 - find out we have male factor (low morphology ~ 4%)
- September 2008 - First RE appointment. Plan is to try 3 more Clomid and IUI cycles.
- October 2008- Increased dose of clomid fails again. On to injectables.
- November 2008 - First follistim/IUI cycle. BFP on 15dpo! Oh wait- low beta, falling. Early miscarriage.
- December 2008 - Moving on to second follistim/IUI cycle. IUI # 2 on 12/27. BFN.
- January 2009 - Cycle canceled due to cysts.
- February 2009 - 3rd Follistim/IUI cycle. IUI on 3/3. Yet another failure.
- March/April - RE recommends moving on to IVF w/ICSI. I ask to try Femara for the hell of it. Not optimistic that it will even make me ovulate, but whatever.
- 4/12 - BFP 9dpo. Holy shit!
- 4/15 - 1st beta: 79 at 12 dpo
- 4/17 - 2nd beta: 250 at 14 dpo
- 5/1 - 6w0d ultrasound shows one baby with a heartbeat! Still in complete shock.
- 5/18 - 8w3d ultrasound shows everything is still going well. Released to ob/gyn.
- 6/2 - 10w3d ultrasound. The baby is still alive, and it has grown appropriately.
- 6/12 - 12 weeks. NT scan shows growing, wiggling baby. Holy shit, this might actually be happening.
- 7/24 - 18 weeks. Baby is still alive with a great heartbeat.
- 8/11 - 20w4d anatomy scan looks good. 80% chance it's a girl.
- 9/5 - 24 weeks!
- 10/16 - 30 weeks! Confirmation that baby bird is a girl!
- 12/4 - 37 weeks. Full term. Still in complete shock.
- 12/23 - baby Bird is born by c-section!
- November 2011 - surprise bfp with baby #2
