About Me

I am 32 years old and have been married to my wonderful husband, M, for 5 years. I used to be a mechanical engineer but I am back in school full time to become a registered nurse. I graduate in May 2010!
We have been TTC for over 3 years with absolutely no success. Being that we are Catholic and have a strong faith, we have decided that we will not be attempting ART's that conflict with our beliefs. I am currently seeing a NaPro doctor to see if there are any less invasive treatments remaining that I can still try. If that doesn't work, we are open to adoption but because I am in school we cannot begin the process just yet.
TTC History

- Stopped BC in Jan. '06 but used NFP to avoid pregnancy (ha ha).

- Started trying May '06 using BBT charting, OPK's, and fertility monitor.

- October '06 DH's SA came back normal except slightly low morphology (most likely due to abstaining too long before test day).

- Jan '07 had a saline ultrasound to check for polyps and fibroids because of pre AF spotting - nothing significant found.

-April '07 met with RE. Had HSG, Saline ultrasound, bloodwork, another SA. SA was excellent but it was determined that I had a septum in my uterus and PCOS.

- May '07 had lap/hyst to remove septum. Small polyp and slight endo was removed as well.

- August '07 started trying again, I wasn't IR but started metformin anyway. I can only handle 500mg/day.

- November '07 started Clomid 100mg, also using estrace and progesterone supplements.
