Just want to make sure this blog isn't deleted. My surprise #3 child just turned 3 years old.
Hi There.
- ~Carrie
- I'm a 40 year-old computer geek who married the world's coolest guy in 2005. We've known each other since we were kids and do just about everything together, except we couldn't seem to create offspring together. Ironic, isn't it? Thanks to IVF, we finally wound up with a 2 RLBs (real live babies).... and I have now just entered new territory... a surprise, unassisted pregnancy (!?)
Here's the deal:
11/07/11 - I sit here in disbelief. Did I mention that I am 40?
11/06/11 - 2 lines on a pregnancy test.
06/03/10 - DS is born 3 weeks early, no time for an epidural! I continue to ignore my blog.
Fall 2009 - IVF #2 a success! (and I totally ignore my blog)
Sept/Oct 2009: Already time for IVF #2, since I'm not geting any younger...
10/23/08: My DD is born!
10/16/08: OB visit.
08/21/08: Another u/s.
07/31/08: GD 3-hr Test - passed!

03/11/08: Graduate from RE.
02/26/08: Heartbeat!
02/20/08: 1 gestational sac!
02/08/08: First ever BFP!
01/08: IVF #1. 2 blastsbabies transferred. Continuing acupuncture.
12/07: IVF prep month. No meds. Confirm one good follie mid-cycle while at RE for IVF mock transfer. Continue acupuncture. Try au naturale... plus Presee.d and proges. support. BFN.
11/07: IUI #5 & Clom.id & Menap.ur. Continue acupuncture. Lots of extra BDing w/Presee.d. BFN.

08/07: IUI #3 & Gonal.F. BFN.

05/07: Clom.id 100mg. Realized leuteal phase (LP) was a little short. BFN.
04/07: SA for DH - fine. Clom.id 50mg. BFN.
03/07: HSG - no problems.
05/06-02/07: Try the old fashioned way. Temps and OPKs indicate I'm O'ing monthly. Cycles always 26-28 days... so why am I not pregnant?!
Fall '05: Marry DH.
