ICLW October

Wow I haven't done an ICLW in forevs. I've been reading a lot of blogs lately so it seemed as good a time as any!!

Quick recap of our story:
Tried naturally for a year with no luck.

Diagnosed with severe male factor infertility in April 2010.

Debated IVF vs donor IUI ad nauseum.

Moved forward with IVF in April 2011 and were blessedly successful. Did note a borderline high FSH (11.something) which has me worried for the future.

Our daughter Pipsqueak was born via emergency c-section at 35 weeks. Pregnancy included pre-eclampsia and bed rest for the last 5 weeks. Fun!! All worth it of course.

She is now 10 1/2 months old. We are still breastfeeding and still struggling with all of us getting enough sleep. Discussions are going on regarding trying for a second (no frozen embies so we will need to start over) I plan on writing about all of these topics in the coming week.

Ok back to work now. I hate working on Sundays!! Miss the football games!

    Hello from ICLW! Congratulations on the arrival of your daughter, although it sounds like it was quite a journey to get there!

    Visiting from ICLW. I just want to send good thoughts and encouragement while you make the decision about trying for #2. Returning can't be an easy decision.
