gummy bears!

7 weeks

The twins looks like little gummy bears with beating hearts today. It was such an amazing thing to see how much they grew in one week. You can truly see the fingerprints of God as we watch these little ones grow. It is breathtaking!

November 08- crazy long 40 day cycle- BFN
December 08- stopped temping as much- tried to “relax”- BFN on Christmas day
January 09- back to a 30 day cycle- slight line on HPT- chemical pregnancy????

April 14, 09- HCG injection
April 15, 09- IUI

What now?
May 09- break- I'll just try clomid that a friend gave me

June 09- first round of Follistem with IUI
***sperm morphology issues identified during IUI
June 30, '09- BFN
July 09- break (but not really)- saw a line on pregnancy test but started period two days later (chemical pregnancy???)
August 09- meeting with RE- told that we had a less than 2% chance to get pg on our own- and even a really low chance doing IUIs and stem meds- IVF is our most logical next step.
diagnosis:
less than 2% normal sperm morphology
retroverted uterus
annovulation
poor egg quality
endometriosis
(the list keeps building)
Let's move ahead with this IVF plan
