History:
We started trying to get a baby in august 2006. And that didn't work well.

21/4 Operation to check if I have Endometriosis. And they saw that I have that. But they also saw that both of my Fallophian tubes (äggledare) are blocked. So the only way for us to have a baby is by IVF (in vitro fertilisation, provrörsbefruktning).
It was a big chock for me. But I've gotten used to the thought now. And at least we got to know fast why we didn't get pregnant.

Here's a link to a swedish page where you get a short explanation of what Endo is.

Here's a good link for family and friends, if you think it's hard to know what to say.

6/6 The first visit to the clinic. We found out that the que is 6 months (I know it's not long compared with other cities. But it really doesn't help me). We decide to do it privatly. 

June & July: First and second visit to the private clinic. At the second one they found a Polyposis (polyp) in the uterus. So we can't start in august as planned.

29/8 I had an operation and the Polyposis was removed.

24/9 After having waited for my period for a week I'm eating Primolut to make the period begin. 
We can't start the treatment until I get my period.

Future
Late october I start with the nasal spray.
beginning of november I start with the injections.
Week 47 they take the eggs from me with a "needle". They put them in a cup with Samis sperm and leave them.
A couple of days after they put one fertilised egg back in me and I continue taking other medicins for a couple of weeks.
About three weeks after that I can take the pregnancy test.

During this whole journey, many things can go wrong. I can get overstimulated by all the hormon treatments I'll get. There might not be any good eggs. And I might not get pregnant.
But hey! Keep your fingers crossed. :-D
