As many of you know, we have been trying to start a family for quite some time now. We stopped using birth control in November 2004. In May 2005 my OB-GYN sent me in for a test to see if my tubes were open, which came back inconclusive.
The test had to be re-done by a Reproductive Endocrinologist (fertility doctor), which was done in August 2005. Everything looked good. The doctor told us to wait another three months and if I still wasn't pregnant to come back and see him. We waited until April 2006. Since then we've tried a few different kinds of medications and 5 artificial inseminations, our last one in April 2007.
We decided to move forward with In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF). I have an ovary condition known as PCOS, so I will need to be on birth control pills for a few months. We are looking at mid-March for our egg retrieval.
