2 Little Beans: 3 Months Old!!!

3 Months Old!!!

WOW I can't believe they are already 3 months!!! Here is their 3 month pic! Emma is a little peanut compared to her sister!! They are so stinkin cute (I guess I am a little biased though)!! Paige smiled at me for the first time when I went in to get her from her crib this morning (she is usually upset and wanting to eat first thing...just like her mama)! And when I went I looked over at Emma, I notice she was facing the opposite way that I had laid her down last night....amazed how she can do that while swaddled! She is squirmy that one!

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)!
