A Lil' History :: 2003 - 2006

I thought a good way to start this blog would be to look back at the past few years. I'll try to make this as quick and concise as possible.

November 6, 2003
Our First Date

July 2004
Diagnosed with Mild Endometriosis via Laparoscopy

November 5, 2005
Our Wedding Day!

December 2005
Stopped BCP and decided to start TTC! We knew we might have an issue and we were both very ready to start a family! Saw my GYN for a preconception appointment. Decided to try naturally for six months and then go from there.

July 2006
2nd Laparoscopy
Per GYN's recommendation, met with a surgeon at Magee and set up a Laparoscopy for July 31. The results showed endometriosis stage III and was all throughout my pelvic region. Both tubes appeared blocked and one was cleared of it’s adhesions. Dr. suggested that we may need IVF. We knew it was now time to move onto an RE.

September 2006
Met with Dr. Wakim, our RE at Magee. He suggested that we try 3 months on our own since a blocked tube had been cleared. After that he suggested IVF, but if finances were an issue to try one IUI. He was worried that too many medicated cycles would result in my endometriosis getting worse. DH was tested and we found out that he had a low sperm count as well. We might be in for a long road ahead!
