Trying to Get Pregnant - 1st Attempt

In April, 2006, we went to The Center for Assisted Reproduction (CAR). We knew we couldn't get pregnant the old fashioned way since Joe had a vasectomy about 3 years earlier. Our doctor was Dr. Craig and she was very nice. We were also introduced to several different doctors during each visit; Dr. rehman, Dr. Kevin Doody, Dr. Kathy Doody, and Dr. Ann Nackley. Anyway, we went through the entire process of all the shots, the pills, the egg retrieval, the sperm aspiration, and then the egg implant. During the process, Dr. Craig found 4 fibroids in and around my uterus but said she was not very concerned about them.
The same day of the implant, Joe and I went home and crawled right into bed. Only a few hours later, I knew it didn't work. Nine days later, I went in for the pregnancy test and it was negative.
Dr. Craig talked to us and said that if we were going to try in-vitro again, we really should have those 4 fibroids surgically removed.
