HISTORY
Treatments - 6 Clomid cycles, 2 IUIs with Femara, 1 IVF with 3 embryos transferred, 2 more IUIs with Femara & Follistim, and finally 1 IUI with Follistim.
Timing - Decided to start a family May 2005. After testing & un-related delays, began first treatment cycle Oct 2005. First pregnancy confirmed Sept 2007
For other IF couples- If you want to skip the current pregnancy portion of our blog, please see the history on the right hand margin. There you can find our infertility journey from 2005 through Aug 2007.

Now that baby Jaxon has arrived, I think that's the end of the infertility adventure for awhile. I'm leaving the blog up as is for those who are still struggling with infertility. Our whole journey is still documented here so anyone can see what we went through & know they are not alone.
For those that want to follow along as Jaxon grows up, you can find him at: http://jaxonpaul.blogspot.com/

turkey day fun (aka IUI#2)

so every now & then, my birthay just has to fall on thanksgiving (thanks to being born on thanksgiving)... this year was one of those. since we always have thanksgiving with DH family.. that's what we did for my bday. i enjoyed it a lot.. DH fried a turkey for the first time with help from all the guys and MIL did most of the rest of the indoor cooking. i did a lot of chatting & handing things to the ones actually doing all the work :)

then on saturday after tday, i had an ultrasound. they said i was ready for IUI2 either sunday or monday. we chose sunday (today) so it'd be easier on us both, no ditching work monday. we kinda made a morning of it (a lot nicer than last time where we didn't even go to the clinic together). DH had to be there early for his part, and then we went out for breakfast. ended up at a waffle house b/c we didn't know where else in cary on a sunday morning to go. i ate like i was already preggers! then we went on back for my IUI. DH was at least in the same room with me this time if we conceive :)
