Update and New Pics!

Well I had a regular ob apt./checkup yesterday and she said everything is looking really good!! Babies look great and everything with me is looking great!! She also concurred that both babies are girls..always nice to get that second opinion!! She does a real quick u/s just to see how things are going. I can't believe how big they are getting!! They are getting much closer to each other now..and kicking right through the membrane that separates them! Baby A was laying on her tummy with her skinny little butt up in the air, and legs tucked under..while my OB was trying to get a pic of it, you could see Baby B's little feet kicking through on the right side of the monitor..too funny!! Below are 2 pics of Baby A in her tummy sleeping position! (click on image so you can read the words).

A Little Bit about Our Journey (the technical side)

Here is a description of the fertility treatments and procedures we went through to get these 2 little beans!

After 12 months of trying on our own, we made an apt. with an RE (Reproductive Endocrinologist). She ordered us a bunch of tests, all of which came back pretty normal...she said we were young and things looked good, so this should work! We were excited to start, figuring of course these treatments had to work! Well, they eventually did, but it was a long road filled with heartache, tears, frustration, and challenges as each month returned nothing but negative results.

We did a total of 7 IUI's (intra uterine insemination) with a combination of different meds...here is how it went:

IUI #1 - 50 mg. of clomid + trigger shot + IUI
IUI #2 - 100 mg. of clomid + trigger shot + IUI
IUI #3 - 150 mg. of clomid + trigger shot + 2 IUI's
IUI #4 - 100 mg. of clomid + trigger shot + IUI
IUI #5 - 150 mg. of clomid + trigger shot + IUI
IUI #6 - menopur (injectables for 9 days) + trigger + IUI
IUI #7 - repronex (injectables for 7 days) + trigger + IUI

Just to give you a bit of a rundown on the meds...
clomid is a pill taken for 5 days to help you produce more follicles (eggs). The injectables do the same thing, but are a stronger form and are done with shots (fun)!
