The Math of Infertility - Chapter 2


Since I feel like numbers making everything so much easier to understand, here's a break down of what our last few years have looked like...

38 months

+ 3 doctors

+ 24 ultrasounds

+ 1 saline ultrasound

- 30 pounds

+ 2 Hysterosalpinograms

+ 2 surgeries - 1 laparoscopy and 1 hysteroscopy

+ 1 PCT

+ 523 pil.ls (yes, I counted, and no this does not include prenatal vitamins. It's a cocktail of clomid, fema.ra, fertil-aid, pro.vera, estrogren, and birth control that I took for a month before surgery)

+ 9 injections - 3 Ovid.rel, (in February, March and May of this year), & 6 Folli.stim/Go.nal-F

+ 1 IUI

+ too many tears, prayers, blood draws, urinalysis tests, and prenatal vitamins to keep track of.



= totally worth it to (finally) see this:

  11. ... Found your blog via Pinterest. Someone had posted one of your recipes.

    I loved back tracking and checking out your blog.
    My husband and I dealt with infertility with our first pregnancy. It took us 1.5 years to conceive. Esther is currently 21 months and we are expecting our second girl in February. #2 (Anna) was a thought one month and a reality the next! I was so shocked at how fast it took to get pregnant the second time around! I'm 25 weeks and plunking along. Yay! I'm hoping that this is the case for you guys when/if you decide to have more babies...
