Our Pathway to Parenthood

After two years of trying to conceive including: my husband's battle with Testicular Cancer, a Uterine Septum requiring two surgeries, Stage II Endometriosis, three HSGs, one SIS, one failed IUI cycle(Chemical Pregnancy), one IVF cycle cancelled by Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), and one Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) cycle- we triumphed over infertility and delivered our first child on May 21, 2013. We are currently expecting an unexpected miracle baby in May 2015.

Next steps in the plan

My appointment with Dr. Allemand went well. =) He said that my incisions looked great and my body should be healed and ready for pregnancy.

He said that we could start "trying" again as soon as my next cycle begins. Right now, I am not ready. Brandon and I have both discussed waiting through March before continuing.

Dr. Allemand recommended that we pursue IVF next. He feels that with out specific situation, we have a higher rate ofsuccess (pregnancy) with IVF. Because we have 10+ frozen specimens, he did say that he would attempt one more IUI if that is what we wish.

I am almost 100% positive that we will try one more IUI before making the leap to pursuing IVF.

My thoughts are with you! Honestly, it's shocking how hard this whole baby-making thing can turn out to be...
