I never thought about the possibility of it taking so long to conceive after we started trying. I am a healthy 29 yr old who comes from a family of super fertile women. So it was definitely a shock to realize I was not pregnant after months of trying. So now here I am decorating my infertility blog instead of decorating my baby's room. LOL!

Month 10 & 11 (December- January 2012 ) IUI failed and nurse finds a uterine polyp
Well I really did think this was going to work since we still couldn't find anything wrong with us. I even felt a weird pain around implantation time, so I was sure this was gonna be our month. My period started like clockwork. Really confused and annoyed I made an appointment to talk to the fertility doctor, and see what we need to do now. He had us talk to the nurse to go over options. I asked her " If I was your sister or best friend what would you have me do next to try and get pregnant? We really want our baby, and I don't understand what's happening here. It's so frustrating and I'm getting really bummed out" She said give me a minute let me look at all your scans. Shortly after she showed me a picture of what she though to be a polyp right at the top of my uterus where an embryo would implant, but it would prevent it if it was a polyp. She told me she would show the doctor and call me. So I get a call the next day from her letting me know that the doctor agrees it could very well be a small polyp! YAY! FINALLY WE MIGHT HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM!! So she schedules me for a saline hysterosalpingogram. Which is a test where they shoot saline water into the uterus and stick the ultrasound wand in there and look at the screen to see if they can see anything moving in the liquid. I made sure to let them know I needed a valium when I got there. So a couple nurses and the doctor come in and asked me how I was feeling and joked with me. I was feeling really good from the valium, and really didn't feel much. The doctor took the wand out and said " Ok so there is a polyp in there acting like an IUD and is probably the reason implantation is not talking place." I went home and slept. Later in the week we scheduled my removal surgery for Feb 14th valentines = / Isn't that nice.. They had me go on Birth control pills before the surgery which I thought was weird. They told me it was to thin out the lining, and prevent pregnancy. I was put on Loestrin which after a few days made me feel happy, motivated and more energy.. Kinda strange considering yrs ago when I took the pill it made me puke and I was super angry and sad.. So it was nice that it did the opposite for me. Well we found a possible reason and are moving in the right direction to fix the issue so I'm excited to see if this works for us.
