How we make a baby.....

Quick baby making history:

April 2006: Married
Dec 2006: Stop BCP / Start charting
Feb 2007: Big trip to Italy - officially start trying
Summer 2007: Knew there was something wrong. Why? Well, b/c Josh was born with undescended testicles and didn't have it fixed until he was much older. Back then doctors said it wouldn't cause issues. WRONG!!! I told my OB/GYN we had been trying a year (white lie) so they would refer him to have a SA.
July 2007: First SA (Semen Analysis). Results very poor and we were referred to a RE. But, I was actually very happy b/c there was a chance there could be no sperm. A few is better than none!
Sept 2007: Met with Dr. Y. Said IVF was our only option. Kicked off all the testing, etc.
Feb 2008: 1st IVF. Hopes sky high. 32 eggs retrieved, 17 fertilized, 5 day transfer of 2 morula's....no blasts and none to freeze. BIG FAT NEGATIVE.
May 2008: Joined the shared risk program. IVF #2. Lowered meds.....18 eggs, 12 fertilized, we chose to do a 3 day transfer regardless.....they watched the remaining embryos and 2 made it to freeze as blasts.
June 3rd 2008: 1st POSITIVE HPT ever. Happiest day of my life.
Feb 12, 2009: Charlotte born!!!
Dec 2009: Back to Dr. Y. to discuss FET......
Jan - Mar 2010: Repeat testing, etc.
April 2010: FET. Both blasts thawed great. BFN. So sad. Wanted to complete our family and leave IVF behind us. Apparently not that easy for us.
June 7th 2010: Phone consult with Dr. Schoolcraft at CCRM
June 23rd: First trip to Denver for our One Day Workup!!

Can't believe June 23rd is 2 days away...
