a brief intro

Hi there to all here from ICLW! I just thought I'd give a brief intro on our journey and then I'll be back tomorrow for a more in depth post on what is going on with us at this moment.

My husband (referred to here as MBL) and I have been trying (thus far, unsuccessfully) for 19 months. We have been through 3 clomid only cycles, 4 clomid plus trigger shot and IUI cycles, one IVF cycle, and one clomid plus IUI cycle. The closest we have come to a pregnancy was on our last IUI when I got positive home tests for three days and then a very low beta. We headed from that straight into our current cycle where we are set to begin lu.pron next Wednesday. We will be doing IVF again, but this time in a shared risk program where if we don't get pregnant after 3 fresh cycles (and any frozen cycles we produce), we will get an 80% refund. We are seeing a new RE for our next IVF in Chicago, which is about 3 hours away from where we live. So our cycle will involve a lot of foreign territory as we try to navigate monitoring out of state.

I am praying that this IVF brings us our BFP and a take home baby.

Thanks for stopping by, and, happy ICLW!
