because i do love a good (ttc) list. 

TRY #1

march 18 2008 -  LH surge detected on OPK (i use the clearblue digital. yes, it’s expensive but i just can’t be bothered with the lines and the wondering)

march 19/20 - 2 consecutive IUIs – natural cycle

BFP! on april 3  (13 dpo)  faint pink line on april 3. went in for beta – beta only 28. doc said that wasn’t a good sign. 2 days later positive test on digital and beta 121. doc more hopeful.  (tested on 10-12 dpo and got BFNs)

suspected ectopic

 

three months off due to methotrexate injection protocol

 

july 15 - meeting with RE to discuss trying again

july – hsg shows that left tube is now blocked. definitely ectopic.

plan is to use ultrasound monitoring to see what side egg is on before insems – we want RIGHT side eggs!

august 17 cd3 ultrasound – tiny follies beginning to grow on both sides

august 24 cd10 ultrasound – 14mm follie on left (damnit) and a few 10mm ones on the right. may do one more ultrasound but lookin like we are out this month

september cd 3 ultrasound – found large cyst on right ovary – cycle cancelled
