TTC Timeline

January 2012 - I start charting my cycles. Nothing alarming...

All insems are done at home using Known Donor.

March 2012 - #1  - BFN (we just winged it!)

April 2012 - #2  - BFN

May 2012 - #3 - BFN-  asked OB for blood work just to check on things. She constantly forgets I am a lesbian even though I have been seeing her for 15 yrs.  Her advice "Just let it happen". Um, yeah....

Blood tests come back "normal".

June 2012 - #4  - BFN

July 2012 - #5  - BFN

August 2012 - #6 - BFN

September 2012 - #7 - BFN - Cycles start going from 32/35 days to 40+ days. I have no clue what changed! I am also now ovulating WAY late in my cycle (around CD29!!)

October 2012 - #8 - BFN 

November 2012 - #9 - BFN - I go see a new OB (Dr. D). She does a blood work up for progesterone as she thinks my luteal phase is too short. My levels come back LOW. She prescribes progesterone 200 mg to be taken for 14 days after ovulation has been confirmed. 

December 2012 -  #10 - BFN - Progesterone 200 mg 

January 2013 - #11 - BFP!! - Progesterone 200 mg - I also start acupuncture 2x a week. I ovulated on CD18. Yay! I also see a huge difference in fertile cervical mucous. I attribute this to more exercise (I'm a little "fluffy"), higher water intake and the acupuncture.  If this cycle is a bust I start the next cycle with 50 mg of Clomid not monitored & continue with the progesterone.

Due date October 12, 2013
