Well I came off the pill in October 2003. We were not yet married (due to marry in the Feb 2004) but I have had a long history with Endometriosis and it was back worse than ever. The dr gave me a choice, more operations (already had plenty) or look at starting a family. I was about to turn 29 so starting a familty was on our plans anyway, so why not now?? So we took the drs advice and decided that I would have no contraception from now on.

Well after 6 months of no contraception and 3 months of actively plotting temps, etc, we were still not pg. Then to my surpise in April 04 I experienced a miscarriage. It was hard as DH was away with work and I had not yet told him that I thought I pg, as I had not confirmed the test yet. I checked with the gyn that it was a miscarriage and YES it was. I was then monitored for the next 3 days to ensure that it was complete.

Something told me that something was not right. After investigation it was found that I was actually pg with twins and the second was actually ectopic. So I had to go into surgery to have our pg removed. What followed was all sorts of compliactions and more surgeries.

So here we are now, 8 months after the last surgery which resulted with the left tube gone and the right tube not functional. So the IVF rollercoaster begins and fingers crossed for a happy ending.
