Josh here:
We did get a positive PG test in November but the little guy didn't stick for long. The doctors called it an early term miscarriage. Really was a bummer. Decided to take a few months off. Tried again in February, this time added in progesterone supplements on day 2 post iui. (IUI was done at the doctors office). But 8 days after the IUI Jessica started bleeding very heavily, so not only did it not work but the progesterone was terrible and seemed to cause excessive bleeding.
Jessica went in to see the OBGYN for a fertility consult last week to discuss our options going forward. We are doing one more month of clomid (this month) with IUI (completed this last Saturday); No progesterone supplements. If this doesn't take then next month we will try fumera, which is another oral medication to assist in ovulation. Then, we will see.
So, we're in a count down at the moment. 5 days until a progesterone test to tell us how well she ovulated (hopefully over 15). 14 days until a home pg test and 16 for a blood test. Fingers crossed.

About Me
- Josh & Jessica
- I’m Josh and this was my wife, Jessica’s, blog. I stole it. I’m 28 years old, I am a son, brother, & father. I have struggled fought with my weight for literally as long as I can remember. I have always been over weight. I have tried losing weight before, maybe 20 times, but failed each time. Jessica and I have tried to lose weight before and we failed. I have 3 daughters- an 11 (going on 15) year old and twin 2 and half year olds- and I want to show them, WE want to show them, it’s okay to try and fail, but you pick up the pieces and try again- until you win, until you reach your goals. We started our journey towards weight loss and being healthy on January 2nd. It’s the middle of May. I’ve lost 49 lbs, Jessica has lost 35 lbs. We are still actively trying to lose weight and be healthy, we both want to lose more and gain strength. So far, our journey has been both rough and amazing. I hope my story, OUR story, will inspire others.
Jessica: You left a comment on my blog the other day (Hope and a Future) asking to read my new blog. I actually need your e-mail address to invite you to read it... You can send it to me at hopeandafutureblog@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteI hope things went well with your last pregnancy try! I know that it is so hard to try over and over again with so much emotion and money involved and get negative results over and over. :(
