I was basically told I was in early menopause along with my stage 4 endo and that i needed to take a break to let my system rest.. personally i think it was the fact they did a down regulation cycle with me... the pill completely fucks with my system... anyway so yeh we made the descion there will basically be no more IVF for us, with the price hike, the lack of medicare rebate and my failure to respond in past treatments ( I was on the highest dose available and responded worse then a 40 yr old!) it seemed like a lost cause, so we got on with our life and though well we will just enjoy our time with Marlie and get on with life as a family of 3 :D
Enjoy the ride...
Or so we thought...
I started taking a natural herb called Vitex.. we had tried it before when we were trying for Marlie and it got us no where but thought what the hell a $17 bottle of herbs is worth a shot.. beats over 6k per cycle we were paying in IVF fees... so new years day i walk into the bedroom with a positive ovulation test... ;P
JAN 13th 2010 I take a test, i had been feeling queasy and not myself.. I thought oh its probly just the lingering effects from the copious amounts of alcohol from my cousins joint birthday a few days before... well

OMG 2 LINES!!
IM PREGNANT!!
NATURALLY!
NO IVF
NO FERTILITY DRUGS
IN TOTAL SHOCK!!!!
Our Little Boy, Logan William was due the 22nd of September 2010, He arrived by what in the end is termed "elective cesarean" at 38w gestation, My pregnancy with him was pretty cruisy we had a few hiccups along the way and my blood pressure was well on its way up, I was trying for vbac but after it was discussed with my doctor at 29w when I had severe pains from old scar tissue ripping apart the risks of ruptured uterus from all the previous surgerys and ceaser it scared the crap out of me, and well when my BP went up at 34 weeks so it was just not gonna happen unless i stayed home and birthed like many of my friends at home, but my husband wouldnt have a bar of it and i was too scared to do that too lol so anyway my little dude arrived screaming earthside on the 8/9/10 at 8.31am, 7 pound 8 and 50cm long :D
So with this I have become that friend that everyone says they know.. you know the one.. the one who took years and IVF to conceive there first and then bam falls naturally without much drama... the urban legend....
