In 2006, my hubby and I decided we would try to have a baby through donor sperm. We went to see a fertility specialist. Just to cover all grounds, my husband had a sperm analysis done and I had blood tests, a 3D ultrasound and an Hysterosalpingogram (HSG). The tests confirmed that my hubby did not have any sperm. My blood tests show that I have an elevated prolactin level, both my tubes are fine and my uterus had a little dent at the top but I was told that it was not a concern. Then we met with a consultant regarding donor sperm.
In 2007, we started trying to conceive:
Feb. 20 - Mar. 24, 2007 (IUI #1)
- natural cycle, Bromocriptine 1.25mg, intrauterine insemination (IUI) and progesterone suppositories
- 1st IUI on Mar. 10th (day 19) and 2nd IUI on Mar. 11th (day 20)
- pregnancy test was negative
Mar. 25 - May 6, 2007 (IUI #2)
- natural cycle, Bromocriptine 1.25mg, IUI and progesterone suppositories
- 1st IUI on Apr. 9th (day 16) and 2nd IUI on Apr. 10th (day 17)
- I had a dream on Apr. 9th that I was pregnant
- I had to go in for a pregnancy blood test on a Monday Apr. 23rd. I couldn't wait so I did a home pregnancy test on Saturday morning. It was my last home pregnancy test. I saw a very very very faint vertical line after 10 minutes (faint positive). I got really excited but still wasn't sure if I was just seeing things.
- Blood test showed HCG level of 6 on Apr. 23rd, increased to 21 on Apr. 25th and then 66 on Apr. 27th. In the evening of Apr. 27th, I started to spot. Within a week, the joy turned into worry.
- On Apr. 30th, I increased my progesterone to twice a day. I continued to spot for the whole week.
- On May 4th, I had an ultrasound and they couldn't find a sac. There was a fear of ectopic pregnancy.
- On May 6th, I had this excruciating pain at around 12:15 am and my period came.
- My HCG level dropped to 13 on May 7th and then to 0 on May 11th.
May 6 - Aug. 6, 2007 (IUI #2)
-recovering period
