TTC History and current status
Trying since Jan 2004 when I was 33. I have one Daughter who is 2. Trying for another baby for over a year. One m.c and 2 IVF's later we are preparing for IVF#3 with Donor eggs. . I am 38.
Diagnosis= unexplained..but what that really means is poor egg quality.
FSH
April 2008: 11.8
March 2008: 10.7
November 2007: 6
November 2004: 3.9
Considered a poor responder but I have gotten OHSS on inject/iui cycles. Go figure!
____________________________________________
IVF #3. Donor eggs. Success. Healthy baby girl born Aug 19, 2009. 7 frozen blasts.
IVF #2no BCP...Antagonist protocol with a little estrogen priming . Gonal-f and Menopur. Maximum medication. 7 egg retrieved. 5 mature. 6 fertalized. ET 3 embys: 2-8celled, 1-6 cell. BFN
IVF #1 April/May 08 On max meds...produced 4 mature eggs and a bunch of smaller ones which did not grow fast enough..2 survived to ET (1-8 celled, 1-5celled)...BFN.
Oct 07-Jan 08- 4 iui's on lots of Gonal-F. Most times I had 3-4 mature follicles..BFN. Oh and I got OHSS twice.
April 07- Inject /iui BFP! Not to last very long. At 7 week u/s we were measuring behind. HCG not doubling as it should Waited for over a month to m/c naturally. Had to wait most of the summer for HCG to go down. Increased my wine intake from "moderate" to "heavy". I don't want to complain about that Summer but let's just say I wont be making any custom T-shirts with Summer 2007! emblazoned on them.
March 07- 1st inject/iui for baby #2. BFN
Feb 07- Stopped breast feeding to start trying for baby #2. I loved breastfeeding and hated to stop but I felt I needed to get a move on with baby #2.

Jan 04-Jan 05- Natural cycles with Charting..actual sex

Cutie patootie!!! I am drooling! ;-)
So thrilled for you and your family...hope everyoone is going wonderfully! XOXO
So beautiful! Congrats!
My guess is that she was face up, also known as "sunny side up" and that is why you were so late as her head was not pressing down on the cervix encouraging it to dialate. My last was induced at 42 weeks and 5 days for that reason and he looked much the same. But congrats, none the less, she is a beautiful baby!
So pretty!
She's beautiful! Congrats on the birth and able to turn off that pitocin ... told you that water breaking thing works! :)
Thank you for sharing the pictures....she so beautiful! I wanted to reach through the computer and touch her! Just a gorgeous little girl.
Breathtaking.

Bruised but that did nothing to hide her cuteness!
Thanks for sharing and hope you are both doing well!
