You can see a heart shape in the middle, which is the inside of my partial septate uterus. Ideally the shape of uterus looks like a pearl – the top part is flat.  My RE recommended a a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy to remove the septum. He said he can’t guarantee anything but it worth a try. I’ve done some research online – some people who have same issues did lap/hys and they got pregnant, which is very encouraging. Some people’s uterus has a regular shape but with septum inside the uterus – they got pregnant after the septum was removed.

We will give it a try, even though laparoscopy sounds a little bit scary.

I called my mom Friday night. She asked me if I am pregant or not. I said ” Not yet. Still trying”. One day I will be a mom. I am just waiting for the right time. Maybe next year I will be a proud mom.

We have never talked about our IVF journey with anyone else, including our parents and siblings. We don’t think they can provide any help. Instead, it might bother them and we might also feel extra stress from telling them.

Although I try to release stress myself, from time to time I felt I was stressful and anxious. I have been thinking to talk to a professional for a longing time eventually I did it today.

It was helpful to talk to her. I felt a little bit relaxed after the consultation. I think I have a better understanding of my situation, which will help me handle the stress in a better way.

We booked an appointment for 3D ultrasound on May 17, 2010. We will also have a meeting with RE on May 20 to discuss the next step based on the result.

Has anyone done 3D ultrasound for your uterus?

I started HPT from 10dpt. There was a tiny bit line which made me think it might still have chance to get darker later. The tiny line was there since but didn’t get darker or wider. We bought a digital HPT on 12dpt and it showed “Not Pregnant”. I knew 99% it would be the case and decided to do blood test on 13dpt. The result was BFN and AF came same day.

It was frustrated that we have no control at all during this process. Embryos were perfect. How can we keep them in the uterus and grow healthily?

We might do a FET in May/June.

I had a headache today probably due to hormone fluctuation. I am lucky enough to not have headache till today during 2ww. It might be the secret HCG in the blood or it might be my AF is coming soon. Who knows? Hopefully it is the HCG level.

I will do HPT on Friday (10dpt) and Sunday (12dpt). The first Beta is scheduled on next Tuesday, April 13, 2010.

I watched a movie named Have You Heard about the Morgans. The Morgans was separating because of many reasons. The root cause was the infertility problem! It is obvious that more and more people are aware of infertility issues and IVF treatments due to the fact that many people are undergoing this very same personal issue. The infertility issue might damage your marriage if you can’t handle the emotional and psychological pressures during your IVF journey.

It was reported that infertility affects about 16% of couples who try to conceive. Today as many as 1 to 2% of children born in Canada and the US are conceived through high-tech reproductive technologies such as IVF, ICSI and IUI.

It has been eight months since I started this IVF Adventure blog. So far, this blog has welcomed 1406 visitors from all over the world. They found IVF Adventure from Google, Yahoo! or other search engines. You can imagine how many people in the world are looking for IVF information.

In fact, you are the No.

Look at the map below, where are you from and how did you find IVF Adventure?

Second day: I felt a little better and start to watch TV, read books and surf the net. I ate fresh pineapple but not the core. I kept praying.

Third day: I felt much better and more relaxed. I made jokes with DH. At night we watched Survivor and cheered for the Heroes. We also watched The Office. The episode was about a pregnant office lady and her labor story. Pretty funny. I laughed so much that I was a little worried about my dear embryos. I should stay in a calm mood, right?

I normally like to have a long hot show ever night. Now I limited my show to about 5 minutes. No hot tub and long show during 2WW.

I know I have to be patient. I have been waiting for so long. I don’t mind two more weeks.

How are you doing, my friend?

I am officially PUPO (Pregnant Unless Proved Otherwise).

We are waiting for a miracle. Everyone’s life is a miracle. Meeting DH is a miracle. Now we’ve done our part. We just need to wait and pray.

We are ready.
