Bottle problems

I wonder if anyone has any suggestions and/or has been in the same predicament before.  LO is 7.5 weeks, and we still aren't able to get her to take a bottle with any consistency.  She will sometimes take an ounce or two, but only after she chokes on the milk, cries, and gets really frustrated.  The process almost always takes about 45 minutes, and getting her to take more than an ounce is a really rare occasion.  We've been trying 1-2 bottles a day for over three weeks now.

Things that we've tried include:

-feeding her in an upright position (using the guidance on kellymom)

-Different bottles (Tommee Tippee, Dr. Browns, Nuk, Thinkbaby)

-Slowest flow nipples

-Waiting until she's hungry and when she's not hungry.

-Having my DH feed her with me way out of sight.

 I need to go back to work soon and I am starting to get worried.  Anyone been through this before?  I feel like we have more than an average aversion to the bottle, and these daily battles are taking a toll on everyone.
