When do you know you are getting into the "Long Term TTC" Category? When you have to do up an Excel Spreadsheet to remember how many attempts you've had and how many follicles and what drugs you took etc etc. Well i started a spreadsheet. Here are the results.
TTC Since June 2006
15x attempts using same donor (now reached family limit)
1x Miscarriage at 7.5 weeks (due to a Subchorionic Hematoma)
0x Baby in our arms (One little girl in our hearts - Chromasomal testing came back normal 46XX)
Still we go on. I think we may go on until there is 1 or 2 babies in our arms. Maybe we should have not had so many attempts with IUI. But we really didnt have the money to do IVF again until now. We didnt have another choice.
We are just waiting for Kim to start CD1 (CD 28 today) to start our next IVF cycle. We haven't done an IVF cycle since Sept 2006, only IUI's and our last IUI was in August last year. So we had a break from TTC and now we have the money for IVF AND private health insurance (we've done the 12 month wait). Oh and we picked a new aussie donor. Our old donor reached his family limit.
We are going to put our names down for the donor embryo program after this IVF attempt. Even if this attempt is sucessful. I am turning 37 this year and my fertility was questionable when i was 33, hell even when i was 20. I think that will be the path that we go down to achieve a pregnancy for me. Unless by some miracle Kim makes heaps of eggs and we get some good frozen embryos that i can try to fall pregnant with after Kim. Peoples.... wouldn't that be some kind of wonderful!! Can't wait to get to know you all again!
