TTC journey so far

June 2014 -
Married!! Better enjoy our honeymoon since it'll be our last holiday with just the two of us for a while...

July 2014 -
Hmm... Oh well, only one month in! (I cringe now at how disappointed I was at our lack of success on month 1!)

August - November 2014 -
Any day now....

November 2014 -
Time to try acupuncture and herbs

January 2015 -
Let's just rule out a hormone imbalance

February 2015 -
Hormones all good. Adios acupuncture (aka money-drain)....hola semen analysis....oh crap :(

April 2015 -
First meeting with Napro

June 2015 -
Officially give up all things delicious from our diet in an attempt to get knocked up naturally. Varicocele surgery.

September 2015 -
Meeting with consultant about another laparoscopic surgery - this will definitely be the answer to our problems!!
MRI

October 2015 -
Hysteroscopy and our world comes crashing down around us...The hysteroscopy and MRI of the previous month were to check if I have a bicornuate uterus (suspicion of Napro doctor) or a unicornuate uterus (as diagnosed after 2013 lap by a different consultant). Unfortunately I was diagnosed with having a didelphys uterus with an opening on only one side, meaning space is very limited in there and we should prepare ourselves for potential late-term miscarriages/preterm birth. And we can't even get pregnant in the first place!

November 2015 -
Open day with a fertility clinic about IVF
Meeting with my consultant again to get confirmation of the bad news (and to line his pocket with more dosh)

January 2016 - 
Begin acupuncture with the IVF clinic's acupuncturist, which is a way more positive experience than my previous one.
Trying to practice yoga, eat clean...just be as healthy as possible in preparation for......
