We have been TTC for 18 cycles now for another child. A second and last child. I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in Feb of 2005 which caused me hyperthyroidism. With lots of drugs and radio active treatments my thyroid was destroyed and now I have hypothyroidism and need to take meds each day to regulate my hormone levels. In Oct 2005 we were given the go ahead to TTC and in Nov (our second try) we were blessed with our first bean. This time has not been so easy. We have been TTC for 18 cycles now. In April after my Gyno wanted to give me clomid I called a RE. I never imagined after getting pregnant the first time so easily that this time would be well this hard. Here is what has been going on since:
8.07-2.08 Cycles 1-6
3.5.08 OB Appt. After reading my chart from my C-sec we found out I had a bicornuate uterus (a heart shaped) was told it wouldn't affect chances of conceiving but would limit chances of carrying a pregnancy. Dr wanted to give me clomid but I wanted more info before we started it.
3.21.08- Cycle 7 Called an RE
4.3.08- First Appt with RE. Decided to send me for an HSG ( a very wonderful Dye test where a catheter is inserted into your uterus) to check out tubes before giving me clomid.
4.13.08 Cycle 8
4.18.08- Dh SA showed his count was 111 mill (20 mill is normal).
4.24.08- HSG reveled I didn't have a bicornuate Uterus but a unicornuate uterus (only my right side). Have both ovaries and tubes but my left releases into my abdomen.
May 13th - Cycle 9- 50 mg clomid but didn't Ovulate
June 5th - Cycle 10- 100 mg clomid with no O again
June 29th - Cycle 11- 150 mg clomid. Ovulated but did not conceive. Clomid caused a cyst.
July 24th - Cycle 12 - no meds due to cyst. Waiting for it to dissolve.
Aug 20th- Cycle 13 - Femara and HCG injection.
Sept 14th - cycle 14 - Clomid 150 mg, HCG and Metformin ( to help with cysts).
9.24.08 Mid cycle scan showed a 16mm follicle on my left (unusable side) and a 6mm, 8mm, and 16mm on my right side.
9.26.08 HCG injection
9.27.08 very painful ovulation
10.6.08 9DPO decided I should test out my trigger. -HPT trigger is gone
10.9.08 Cycle 15 150 Clomid, Taking a break from temping and going crazy!!!! Yes I am one of those crazy people who take my temp, test my ovulation and check my cervical mucus and positioning.
11.3.08 Cycle 16 150 Clomid & HCG Oed, progesterone
12.02.08 Cycle 17 I need a break!! I am mentally drained. I never thought I would get to a point where I needed a break. I feel like a failure.
12.28.08 Cycle 18 150 Clomid, HCG injection and IUI
1.7.09 Mid Cycle Scan
