ICLW March!

Its ICLW!!! 

Happy ICLW Everyone!! 

If you are new here is a recap of our history 

and a bit about Me and Scott 

•

I'm Alexis :) I am an executive assistant to my father who owns and operates 3 bowling centers I also opened an online store with my mother in July called Little Miss Millie's Boutique you can find the story behind the naming of the boutique here and you can find the store link here.

I love to shop & take long baths, hunt for rocks, bake & paint.. 

Scott is a graphic designer/embroiderer/ free lance web designer who also opened his own business! If you ever need a website designed or business cards, or anything really, you can visit him here. He loves art and rock hunting! creek walking and lazer tag. He is the best husband a woman could ask for and has an amazing heart. Everyone in the family calls him Sweet Scott :) he is pretty sweet! 

We have been together 8 years and married 5 years! 

We bought our first home 9 months after we were married. 

We have been pregnant 4 times.

The first three were 1st trimester losses and 

January of 2013 we experienced our first 

chemical pregnancy. 

The last three years has been an up hill battle

but we believe our love has kept us strong. 

and also this community! 

Our loss in April 2012 hit us pretty hard.

we were 12 weeks and 1 day when I spotted for the first time

we rushed to the ER to find that our baby's heart had stopped beating 

around 9 weeks :( 

We had really high hopes that this baby was going to be the one 

we held in our arms. We celebrated those first 12 weeks 

like we would be bringing a baby home in October. 

I wouldn't change the excitement we had for the world. 

I am happy we had those 3 months of joy.  

Currently

we are in our 8th cycle, this is our first cycle

back since the failed one in November. 

In January I got a really weird half positive test. 

Blood work showed that I was having a chemical pregnancy. 

AF did not arrive at all in Feb. I took about 100 hpts 

which were all negative. I also got very sick in February with 

pneumonia and influenza B I was in and out of the hospital 

and Doctors office for 3 weeks. 

Finally I called Dr. B to get a round of provera to bring AF 

to town, he requested an ultrasound to confirm 

that I was not pregnant and that I did not have 

any major cysts. The scan looked great and I was 

given the pills. 4 days after my last pill 

AF arrived. I am now on day 2 of Femara! 

This cycle we are doing, 

Femara days 3-7

Follicle scan on March 29th 

Ovidrel injection

IUI

progesterone test, with another injection

(to boost progesterone) 

and then 

Beta day! 

We are wishing, hoping and praying 

that our very first IUI 

will be a success!
