The name of this blog is literal it's a big F&#^k you to IVF.
I guess, to be fair, it's an fu to needing IVF i'm glad IVF exists because i need it.
My husband and i are blessed with a beautiful son. He is almost 3 and he is wonderful. Getting pregnant with him wasn't simple (it took many months) but it was uneventful (oh, except for accidentally taking an abortive when i was 2 months pregnant- but that's a story for another time). Anyway, ideally we wanted our kids spaced out around 21/2 years so we started trying to get pregnant last august (2007). I hate to ruin the ending for you but we're not pregnant yet.
Since trying last august i had a miscarriage that turned out to be an anovulaic cycle (that means i wasn't ovulating) they look and feel the same but, evidently, the former means you can get pregnant and the second means there's trouble. They did some looking around and found a dermoid tumor (they say cyst to make you feel better but it's a tumor). they took it out in april of 08 it's benign but the recovery sucked and it delayed our first IUI for many months. In june we did our first iui blah blah blah we've done five iui's they evolved from just chlomid (minimal, meds by mouth) to 275mg. of hormones (injection and they made me a little insane). Nothing happened- my ovary that had the cyst isn't working so we start IVF later this month.
