A Brief History of our TTC journey
September '06~ Meet Mr G, who tells me he has Klinefelter's (KFS) and will never be a father. Ever the eternal optimist, "never say never" say I.
Early '07~ Realise that this thing is for real, and start to look into MFI related to KFS. I am reassured by vague, sci-fi like stories of ICSI, and the Dr Google consensus that 'it's not impossible'. We try.
Nov '07~ Visit to the Endo for routine KFS checkup, obtain a referral to FS.
Dec '07~ Mr G proposes, and life goes all-wedding, all-time. We keep trying.
Late '08~ When it becomes obvious that it's not 'just going to happen', we make our first FS appointment, where it becomes clear that we will need help. Azoospermia, and a side order of suspected PCOS.
April' 09~ Our wedding
July/Aug '09 ~ IUI + injectables + donor sperm. AF arrives before beta.
September '09~ Book in for IVF
Oct '09 ~ Waiting, waiting, waiting... AF is almost a fortnight late
Nov/Dec '09 ~ IVF + ICSI + Donor Sperm. Stim for ages, poor response, threatened with cancellation. 2 eggs retrieved, 1 fertilised. 2 day, 4 cell, Grade B transfer. Faint Positive, Low first beta. Wait for appropriate HCG doubling. Levels are great, then that night the unthinkable happens.
Friday, 11th of December~ Our precious miracle is leaving.
2010 - 2011. We take time to recover - mentally, financially, physically.
Jan 2012 - back to the FS to get ready to start again - Long Down Reg with Pill is booked for next cycle.
Feb 2012 - Start cycle
Mar 2012 - 8 eggs, 7 Mature, 6 Fertilise, 3 make it to 5 day blast. Transfer 1, freeze 2.
At 5dp5dt the faintest hint of a line shows up.
19/3/12 10dp5dt Beta #1 121 (4w1d)
23/3/12 13dp5dt Beta #2 542 (4w5d)
27/3/12 17dp5dt Beta #3 3356 (5w1d)
03/4/12 22dp5dt Beta #4 25490 (6w1d)
12/4/12, our first scan shows a perfect little fuzzy blob measuring 7w2d with a HB of 150 (7w3d)
And so we wait...
I’m hoping like crazy for you and your little embaby!
I’m crossing all my crossables for you! I’m praying you’ll get that BFP!!!
Happy ICLW!
