4 years ago I was on my last pack of birth control pills; this is what's happened since:

• P went back to school
• started TTC, discovered TCOYF and Lifecycle software to chart my cycles
• went back to school
• holy cow, pregnant 4 months after charting
• miscarriage
• miserable, quit my job teaching preschool
• turned 34
• went back to school full-time for a semester
• start work where I am now
• 4 months Clomid w/ my gyn, waste of time
• still not pregnant, get RE recommendation from friend
• P gets his Master's degree
• HSG
• turned 35
• laparoscopy
• 4 Clomid/ IUI cycles, nothing
• pregnant on 5th Clomid/IUI
• miscarriage
• I graduated Summa Cum Laude from VJC right after the m/c
• on to injectibles-3 cycles, 3 losses
• did full RPL workup twice, all results normal
• turned 36
• attended adoption information seminar, considering that path
• moved on to IVF, first try converted to IUI due to 'poor response', no pregnancy
• 2nd IVF attempt, not great but we did it anyway-we all know that outcome

so here we are 4 years later, still us and the cats in our big house that should have a toddler and maybe a baby. a few good things happened, but so many bad, bad things. I need more happy times.
