We were just getting ready to start a drug study and do IVF. We went for the ultrasound and hysteroscopy to look at my follicles and uterus and they told us it looked like I would ovulate that day or the next. It was only day 11 for me and I had thought I was ovulating around day 14 or 15 so we went home (against protocol) and had intercourse for the next few days. We also had an HSG test a few days before that could have helped too. I had had 2 tubal reversals with Dr. Berger so I really do believe that this past year we had been timing it wrong. I wasn’t using ovulation kits and I was bad at keeping my temp. and chart up.
I’m so glad I went against doctors orders on this one and tried one last time before we coughed up a bunch of money for IVF. I’m 40 so this would have been it for us. We’re so excited!.
Here is a photo of our new English friends, Amanda and David. We met at our consultation appt. and hit it off right away! After Amanda and I had surgery, we went back to our rooms and slept. David & Amanda came to our room that evening and we hung out the rest of the night, sharing stories about our lives, kids and viewing family photos on our laptops. Of course Amanda and I were looking really glamorous in our P.J.’s while the guys were enjoying a cold beer! We met for breakfast the next day and did a little site seeing and shopping. It was great meeting someone all the way from England not to mention that they are getting ready for a similar journey in their lives. We keep in touch regularly via email and John & I have plans to visit England, hopefully next year.
Dr. Berger, thank-you for taking time to meet with us to get a photo the day after surgery. This will be the first picture in our baby book, as it is you who made it possible for us to conceive a child together.
