And ICLW-inspired Summary

I signed up for this month's ICLW right at the end of last month's close and SO MUCH has happened since then!

My first IVF was a success (so far) and I am 5 weeks 4 days pregnant.  I'm feeling tired, my boobs are sore, and I'm having some other random symptoms, but they come and go in frequency and intensity so often that I often doubt that I'm really pregnant.  Although I really have no good reason to believe I'm not.

My husband and I have were TTC for 20 months, since the middle of our Costa Rican honeymoon.  We had a chemical pregnancy last September in month 14 which spurred us to go to see an RE.

I started acupuncture in January, and have done 3 unsuccessful Clomid IUI cycles since then.  We started our first IVF with an antagonist protocol in April, had our retrieval April 26th and our transfer of 2 embryos 5 days later.

Our first ultrasound is in 8 days and I can barely handle the wait!  I'm sure my husband thinks I'm completely crazy by now, but I guess that's part of this pregnant after infertility adventure!

I hope you follow along!  Leave me a comment and I'll come and visit you too!

    Happy 5 weeks, 4 days! I think our u/s are on the same day. The 30th? We may have already made this connection (I'm a tad crazy these days). Here's to hoping we both see/hear beautiful heartbeats!!

    Waiting for the u/s is so nerve-wracking! I hope you're handling with more grace than I am :)
