July 08- started trying to conceive
August 08- BFN- started charting
September 08- perfect tri-phasic chart- BFN
October 08- perfect tri-phasic chart with an implantation dip- BFN
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????

March 29, 09- finally progesterone shot induced period
April 09- first round of Femera
April 14, 09- HCG injection
April 15, 09- IUI
***sperm morphology issues identified during IUI

What now?
May 09- break- I'll just try clomid that a friend gave me
- no period- no ovulation- crazy clomid doesn't even work
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

August 25, 09- BFN
September 09- break before starting IVF
