Another story of infertility and now adoption

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.
- 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.
- January '08 break cycle due to laparoscopic surgery to check for endo and to do a tubal profusion. No endo found but tubes are clear.
- February '08 Clomid 100mg and increased metformin to 750mg per day - BFN
- March '08 Clomid 100mg - BFN
- May '08 First IUI - Clomid/Follistim Combo - BFN
- June '08 - Natural cycle - BFN
- July '08 - Second IUI - Follistim only - Cancelled - Follicles stopped growing
- August '08 - Monitored natural cycle - BFN
- December '08 - Started charting using Creighton Method
- March-May '09 - Saw the NaPro doctor and completed full Hormone Series which showed a Type V Luteal Phase Deficiency.
-August '09 - Started taking Estrogen during luteal phase, 800 iu/day of Vitamin D, and 1.5 mg Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN).
-September '09 - Increased to 3 mg of LDN.

Oh and regarding my situation – no update yet, but although I was separated on Friday, there is a very good chance I will be re-hired in the next couple of weeks. My leadership is fighting hard for me.
