2 Little Beans: What 6 weeks looks like!

What 6 weeks looks like!

So I was uploading some pics the other night and stumbled onto this one and found it quite humorous (yes I know, just now uploading pics from 3 weeks old....slacking greatly)! Just look at how different the paci looks in the 2 pics...the first one was taken about 3 weeks old and the last one was at 9 weeks! It's amazing how fast they grow!!!

And an update to the sleeping through the night. Well, both girls are STILL sleeping all night..its great!!!! the average is 9:00 pm - 7:00 am (sometimes they wake at 6:30 am, sometimes 7:30 am)! I am so proud of them ;o)

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)!
