Well, it's been 6 months since I've written on here. Let's see...
I started injectibles in March. Turns out that they worked! After a very long cycle of slow stimulation - because of PCOS - we got a BFP on March 31st. Everything went wonderfully. Being pregnant was amazing, and I was so proud. I showed off my belly every chance I got.
The happiness came to an abrupt hault on July 30th, 2007. I was 21 weeks and 2 days pregnant when I went into labor with our son. Cooper lived for 45 minutes. A few of which we got to hold him, count his fingers and toes, and just revel in the amazing thing that life is. Today marks 28 days since his birth and this has been the hardest 4 weeks of my life. I thought infertility was hard, but this doesn't even compare. Maybe I'll share the full story eventually, but today it is just too hard.
So, now it's back to dealing with infertility. Right now I'm waiting to start trying again. The minimum waiting time is 3 months according to the doctors. I've already gone into see the RE and we have a plan. It will be the same as this March - our BFP cycle. I will be doing Follistim again, but this time we will know the dosage to use so I won't risk overstimulating. This means that the amount of injections will be greatly reduced (10 days instead of 30).
