My TTC History

Here’s an outline of my TTC journey…

Met my hubby fall of 2003, first year of college.

Married October 2007.

Started TTC August 2009.

6 months of charting showed no change in BBT.  My OBGYN refused to refer me to a specialist until we had been TTC for one year. I called up the local fertility clinic and signed myself up for a consultation.

Bloodwork, vaginal ultrasounds and looking at my 6 months of charts reveals I do not ovulate naturally.

Clomid to the rescue… without a change.  Still no ovulation.

July 2010: Clomid + hSg injection to induce ovulation= first pregnancy. Beta’s don’t double they confirm the fetus attached really low, almost in my cervix.  Doctor decided to allow my body to naturally miscarry.  This happens in September 2010.  In between I graduated from school and moved halfway across the country for a job, but mostly running from my pain.

October 2010: Moved back to where this all began, got a new job.  Started TTC again.  Without success.

November 2010: Meet R, who is a friend of a friend.  Much bonding over our miscarriages and begin contemplating surrogacy.

January 2011: HSG shows no problems.  Feeling exhausted, defeated and that without a problem there is no cure we decide to pursue surrogacy.

April 2011:R steps back from surrogacy after an injury.  My husband and I decide that we are feeling ready to go back to TTC, and I begin this blog.
