Along with everything else I've been sad about lately, I received some bad news on Monday. My aunt Debbie, who has had breast cancer (and has spread to several other locations) for the last 11 years, is in the hospital. Apparently she has a tumor that is growing around an artery, causing some bleeding. She went into the hospital, and we're not sure what's going on. My dad went down to Miami yesterday, to be with her. My uncle (her husband) had called him and told him to get down there ASAP. It's not looking good. My aunt is amazing, she's fought for 11 years. I hope she can fight a bit longer, but it's not looking good.

Our journey with secondary infertility, and parenting after IVF.
About Me
- Shelby
- I'm 33, happily married and mother to 5 year old Celia and 18 month old Seth.
My Infertility Story:
March 2, 2002- married the man of my dreams.
June 2003- started ttc
June 27, 2003- got a BFP, and 9 months later, gave birth to a healthy little girl, Celia.
October, 2005- went on a cruise with DH and Celia, and started ttc our second child.
February 2006- saw my OB at my 6 month check-up, and since I got pregnant with Celia so easily, he decided it may be worth trying Clomid, since my cycles were irregular.
April 2006, I was 9 weeks into my first clomid cycle with no BFP and no CD1. I call my OB, and he sends me straight to SGFC for testing.
June 2006- my first RE appointment, decide to get tested and see what is going on.
August 2006- Diagnosed with PCOS. Decide to hold off on IUIs until Jan. 2007, when I can add a second insurance policy to help with cost. Hope that Metformin will help regulate me a bit.
January 2007- send insurance info to SGFC.
February 2007- get letter from insurance saying that they need a letter from my RE that justifies IUIs considering my husbands SA results. Confused, I call my nurse. We go in for a consult, and find out that we have MF, low count and poor morphology.
March 2007- DH sees urologist. No reason for the MF, so we decide to go ahead with IVF.
May 2007- start IVF#1, take 1. Cancelled due to cysts.
June 2007- IVF#1, take 2. 10 eggs, 3 mature, 5 fertilized, 3 blasts. 2 blasts transferred.
July 2007- BFP!!! Ultrasound shows 2 sacs. One sac reabsorbs, one remains.
February 19, 2008- Seth Nathan is born!
