Got the Call!!!

Got the call to go ahead with adding more meds to the cycle. I went on Monday morning and had my scan done for my lining and blood work was also done and everything looks great!

I was waiting to hear from my IM on her ultra sound today and blood work she had to have done in order to see if we were both okay to move forward and she text me this afternoon with "We're good to go!!" followed with a couple happy faces :):)

 

I'm so excited to begin again and I'm really praying that this time there aren't any problems and things all happen for us. I'm ready for this journey to really begin. I feel like I've been waiting for a while now. All in God's timing though, right? Right :) I just have to keep reminding myself of that, daily! haha

 

So I'll lower my does of Lupron a little bit everyday and then I'll be adding the Minivelle Patches on my stomach. They're not too bad, about the size of a quarter, the only pain about them is the sticky stuff that is left on your skin that you have to scrub off! Other than that, most of this part of it is a breeze.

 

So, as long as everything goes well we could be looking at a transfer date of October 19th-25th. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers, I know that I really want this to happen for my IP's and I know they're ready to make a baby as well :)

Lupron Shots..

Have begun..which aren't bad at all. I remember the first time I did it at the start of my last cycle and I was SO nervous and watched a billion different you tube videos just to make sure I was doing the injection the correct way and it took a few tries until I actually stuck myself and I thought "really? this was all? I was freaking out over nothing?!?!?"

I'm basically doing a Lupron shot every night until my RE instructs me not to. I've got my first lining scan on September 29th, so hopefully my numbers are good again :) I can't wait! I'm sure my IP's can't wait either!

Yesterday was also the last day for BC pills. Praise the Lord!! I hate being on birth control, but its part of the protocol so no big deal. But if you know me personally you know that BC pills and I do NOT mix! haha..there were days I would often feel like a different person and I was SO quick to snap or be moody with anyone and everyone! But I can say goodbye to these!! :)

I'll be sure to update once I get a call on my lining numbers Monday afternoon! Can't wait! :)

Meds Calendar has Arrived!!!

YAY!!! My IM and I have been waiting very patiently for the clinic to get the medical calendar sent out and actually started. So when I received this...

 

I was one happy camper!!! :) It feels like its been months and months waiting to get this. Now that we've got it though we really are just praying it all works out! So please, do us a favor and keep us in your thoughts and prayers!

 

I'll start up on Lupron September 19th, honestly it may sound crazy, but I'm so excited to start pricking myself again! HAHA :)

 

As you can see with a fresh cycle I will start on meds and then when we get to a certain point the IM will then be on meds and as we go as long as our numbers all look great then we can go ahead and they will retrieve the embryos from my IM and the transfer looks to be anywhere from October 19th-25th. AH!!! Can't wait!

Bad News..

Received a phone call from my IM. There were 4 embryos left that they had frozen. The doctor called her and informed here that none of them made it through the thawing process. :( What I felt instantly was an indescribable sadness for my IP's. I myself never went through fertility issues when trying to have my own children so I don't even know how that feels. This was my first really big heartache through this whole process. I just can't imagine how that feels.


Moving forward though, my IM asked if I would be on board with going through a fresh cycle. I of course am on board. I really want all of this to happen for them. So now we start with a new clinic and new doctor and thankfully, its a heck of a lot closer! Which is a huge plus! With the first clinic and doctor we were going all the way down to Springfield which was a haul! So this will be much more convenient.

So here's to a new cycle and please pray it all works out!!! :) :)
