Here is my latest belly shot. I didn't think I had really grown that much in the last 2 weeks, but I can see a difference between this shot and my 20w4d shot. So, it looks like the baby is growing. Yay! =)

About Me
- Fat Girl
- My name is Fat Girl and I am obese. I have recently come to realize this and have decided to do something about it. This blog will chronicle my experiences as I journey toward a skinny version of me.
Just Call Me Moody
Infertility Rant
I wish people wouldn't assume that if you want to have a baby all you have to do is have sex a few times (at most) and it will happen. I wish people didn't feel like they are entitled to ask me if I am planning on having children (a very personal question, in my opinion) at the first introduction. I wish people could respond with something other than "you can always adopt" upon learning that I struggle with infertility. It would be nice if they could also refrain from telling me stories about people who struggled for 5, 6, 7...12 years before they finally had a baby. Sometimes our bodies don't do what we want them to do. Thinking that I will probably have to struggle with this for another 10+ years does not help me feel better.

Fertility History (Or, Our Life at the Doctor's Office)
- 9/30/08 Son is born healthy after 36 hours of labor!! =)
- 6/6/08 22weeks and all looks good!
- 1/28/08 BFP--cautiously optimistic
- 1/4/08 Early M/C at 4w3d
- 9/16/07 Miscarriage
- 9/11/07 BFP!!
- Aug 07 Positive OPK! then (of course) BFN
- July 07 boogie marathons with OPKs for the next few months - cycles FINALLY seem stable
- July 07 DH diagnosed with varicocele, but has "normal" sperm (surprise!) - what a difference a lab and doctor make! No surgery necessary: BFN
- June 07 2nd and 3rd SA tests for DH at an endrology lab: BFN
- May 07 Apt with 3rd urologist (specialist)... more tests: BFN
- May 07 Apt with 2nd urologist, referred to specialist
- April 07 Start Accupuncture for endo (go for 12 visits) - seemed to help with pain control, hopefully got rid of endo too: BFN
- Mar 07 Apt with crap urologist... NOT returning - recommended surgery without confirming diagnosis!
- Mar 07 DH's 1st SA at a non-specialty lab - very low motility
- Mar 07 Tired of BFNs: Laparoscopy, Hysteroscopy, and Chromotubation - Diagnosis: Stage 4 endo on right side around ureter (too dangerous to operate without specialist)... did remove endo from uterus. Good news: tubes clear and no cysts on ovaries (although ovaries still enlarged)
- Nov 06 Dianosed with PCOS - start taking Metformin: still all cycles = BFN
- June 06 Move across the country: have only seen BFNs
- Mar 06 Started actively TTC: BFN
- Dec 05 Married my Soul Mate!
- Oct 05 Diagnosed with low progesterone levels - started on Progesterone during LP to help short LP and break through bleeding in middle of cycle
- Sept 05 Series of blood tests in attempt to diagnose crazy cycles
- Spring 04 Start charting cycles (trying to diagnose why so crazy: some long, some short, heavy bleeding, some annovulatory cycles)
