2 Little Beans: Our little Vacation...

Our little Vacation...

A few weeks ago, we spent a week up at a friend's cabin (near Pinecrest). It was kind of a big family reunion and we all had a blast! We have been up there many times, but this was the first trip with the girls! They had a blast and especially loved the lake (even though it was cold), they LOVE to splash!!! Here are just a few (of the many) pics from our trip!

We always fly fish while we are up there...this river never gets old!! It's absolutely gorgeous!

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)!
