Infertility Timeline


December 23rd 2011
  • "Pulled the goalie" {stopped birth control} 

March 17th 2012
  •  I wasn't paying attention to timing or temp tracking at that point 

August 19th 2012
  • I knew I wasn't ovulating, my period was few and far between and my basal body temps were   all over the map.

August 30th 2013
  • Ultrasound  discovered a solid mass {which we now now is a cyst} that was measuring 4x4x5 cm. About the size of a large plum. Let the fun begin! 

Fall 2013- Summer 2015
  • Lots of ultrasounds, bloodwork, and colposcopy clinic!

August 11th 2015
  • Follow up and at that point basically got the go ahead that the mass wasn't growing, all my CA125 {cancer markers} blood work kept coming back negative.
  • I hadn't had a full flow period in over a year, she wanted to do an endometrial biopsy. 

September 23rd 2015
  • We met with an adoption agency in Calgary.

October 20th 2015.
  • Endometrial biopsy.  Painful.  Really really painful. 
  • Results- inconclusive. Not enough tissue. 

November 10th 2015
  • Provera period from hell. WORST ever.

December 12th 2015
  • My period shows up on it's own on cycle day 35! Woo-Hoo!
  • Start Clomid 50mg. Can you say HOT FLASHES?!?!?!?!

January 8th 2016
  • Rhys has semen analysis

January 26th 2016.
  • OB/GYN follow up. I did not ovulate on clomid 50mg.
  • Rhys' results are back. They are bad. Bad bad in fact. 
  • Referral has been sent to the  Regional Fertility Program.


Off for IVF we go!

    1. Thank you so much, Lily. Infertility is such a hard pill to swallow but the community it has created is pretty remarkable.
      xo, B
