| 24-9-2008 - IVF Cycle 3 |  My mood while writing this blog:Not so Good |
March 13th: So I woke up at 2 o'clock in the morning with the worlds worst soar throat again. I called the Doctor and he won't call in a prescription for me but can't see me today either. He's all booked up for the day. I was only there 3 weeks ago and found out I had strep throat. Hopefully, it's not that again. Anyway, I have my follow up next Wednesday and will update more then. Good luck to rend who had a good transfer and two embryos to freeze. ~*~babydust~*~ to all...
March 18th: So, I went to see the doctor on the 14th and was diagnosed with strep throat (again), an ear infection and a sinus infection. He gave me two prescriptions and I finally started to feel better on the 16th. However, my allergies have been in full force since then. I've been sneezing and blowing my nose non-stop for 2 days now. Well, that's enough of that. Let's get on with my update (which is nothing really). I have my follow up doctors appointment tomorrow at 2:30pm and am hoping AF will show up between the 28th and 30th of this month so I can start my next cycle soon. I have been TTC for 27 months and have been on this site for 344 days and still no BFP. This will be my 3rd IVF cycle and insurance will only cover one more after this one. Please send any extra ~*~babydust~*~ my way. I would appreciate it. Thanks and good luck to all TTC...
March 20th: I went to see the doctor yesterday. He can't understand why either one of the last two IVF cycles didn't work. Now he wants hubby & I to have chromosome tests done (blood test). I haven't had a chance to do much research on why he wants this done but I know if your chromosomes aren't complete (46 in each of us) and in the right order, it can lead to failed pregnancy attempts naturally or via IVF, miscarriages or failure to implant in IVF treatment. Then I have to go for another endometrial biopsy. I will not be starting my 3rd IVF cycle after my period starts next week. I have to get the results of all the tests back first and he said it can take up to two weeks for the chromosome tests to be completed. Hopefully, AF will be right on time at the end of April so I can start in May again. I wish everyone loads of ~*~babydust~*~. Good luck to all who are TTC...
March 24th: Hubby and I went for blood work on Saturday. The chromosome test results should be in by April 7th. I went this morning for the endometrial biopsy. Those results should be in by March 31st. Hopefully all comes back well so we can move on and do another cycle. AF is due sometime this week. I'll update more once I get some results. Good luck and ~*~babydust~*~ to all TTC...
April 1st: AF arrived today. I will go to the fertility center on the 21st for blood work and to start my shots. Next retreival and transfer won't be until mid-May. I still haven't gotten the test results back. My nurse said they should be in next week. If all is well, we move forward. If not, we will need to discuss what our next steps will be. And congrats to Redbeamer. She's having a BOY! Good luck and babydust to all TTC...
April 3rd: This site was much easier to navigate the old way. Anyway, AF is here in full force. I spoke to my nurse today and she is ordering my meds. My test results still aren't in yet but I go for blood work on the 21st and start my next IVF cycle. I hope three is a charm. Insurance will only cover this one and one more after this. Please send me extra babydust and keep me in your prayers. Good luck to everyone TTC...
April 10: My meds are getting delivered tomorrow. I go for blood work on the 21st and will probably start my meds that night or the next. I still haven't received any of my test results back yet. Put a call in to my nurse to see if they are back yet. Good luck and ~*~babydust~*~ to all...
April 14th: I finally got all my results back. There is nothing wrong with either one of us. Our chromosomes are just fine. The biopsy came back fine. So there is really no reason this shouldn't have worked already. I go for blood work next Monday and will start my meds that night or the next. Good luck and ~*~babydust~*~ to all...
April 21st: Went for blood work this morning. They will call me later with my results. They will also let me know what my doses will be and when to take them. My cell phone is broken so I will have to keep checking through out the day for messages. I will post more once I hear from them. Good luck and ~*~babydust~*~ to all...
April 22nd: I started taking 10cc Lupron last night. My nurse said I need to take it between 8:30 and 10:30pm until day 1 of my cycle (which I think will be on May 3rd or 4th) and to call her once AF arrives. Good Luck and ~*~babydust~*~ to all...
May 3rd: AF finally arrived (with a vengance). Bleeding and clotting really bad. I go for Day 3 blood work and an ultra sound on Monday. I'll update more then. Good Luck and ~*~ babydust ~*~ to all...
May 6th: Everything went well yesterday. I started the Gonal-F and Low Dose HCG last night. I go back for more blood work and another ultrasound on Thursday morning. I'll update more soon. Good Luck and ~*~babydust~*~ to all...
May 9th: I have to go back for more blood work and another ultrasound tomorrow. I have 20 follicles (10 in each ovary). My retrieval should be sometime next week. I'll update more soon. Good Luck and ~*~ babydust ~*~ to all...
May 11th: Happy Mother's Day to all... Had blood work and an ultrasound done yesterday. I now have 26 follicles. My estrogen was .9 and my progesterone was 1,234. Not really sure what that means but the nurse said it was good. I go back tomorrow for more blood work and another ultrasound. I hope my retrieval will be later this week with my transfer early next week. I have plans to go away from May 30th to June 1st and don't want to have to cancel them. My girlfriend is celebrating her birthday at a spa (gift from her husband) and asked if I wanted to join her. With all the stress in my life right now, it sounded like a great idea. Now I have my heart set on it and would be very disappointed if I couldn't go. And we haven't really spent any time together in a while. She lives in Pennsylvania and I'm in New Jersey. I know it's only a couple hours away but her with a family (husband and two kids) and me trying to have one, we could never get it to work. I am going to bring it up with my nurse tomorrow to be sure I will be done with my cycle by then. I will update more soon. Good Luck and ~*~ babydust ~*~ to all...
May 12th: I have to take my meds again tonight and then go back for more bloodwork and an ultrasound tomorrow. They think I will be doing my trigger shot tomorrow night for retrieval on Thursday which means my transfer will be Sunday or Tuesday. This will mean my pregnancy test will be on the 28th or 30th. I'll update more again soon. Good luck and ~*~babydust ~*~ to all...
May 13th: My retrieval is scheduled for Friday (Dr wanted to give me one more day). They also said a day 5 transfer would be best so my pregnancy test should be on the 31st (but since i'll be away, it will be on June 2nd). I'll update more soon. Good luck and ~*~ babydust ~*~ to all...
May 15th: My retrieval is at 10:30 tomorrow morning but I have to be there by 9. My transfer will be on Wednesday afternoon (day 5). I also found out this morning that my pregnancy test will be early in the morning on the 30th so I'll know before I leave for my spa weekend getaway. Good Luck and ~*~babydust~*~ to all...
May 17th: The retrieval was very emotional for me yesterday. Was crying the whole time and told my husband I didn't want to do it. After they had to move my IV twice, I finally went in. They got 26 eggs of which 19 were good quality. Of those 19, they fertilized 17 and will call me on Monday with my transfer day and time (either Monday or most likely Wednesday). I start the progesterone shots tonight and have to continue with the Medrol and Antibiotic until they are done. I'll update more soon. Good luck and ~*~ babydust ~*~ to all...
May 21st: Well my transfer was Monday afternoon. Of the 17 that fertilized, there were only 4 left so they did the transfer on day 3. They were 8 cell embryos but they said my odds were very low. I have decided that this is my last cycle. I have one frozen embryo that I may use in the future but my body is telling me to stop now. This cycle was way to emotional and I don't think I can go thru it anymore. I have my progesterone test this Friday and my pregnancy test next Friday. Then I leave for my spa weekend. I'll update more soon. Good Luck and ~*~ Babydust ~*~ to all...
May 23rd: Got my results from blood work done this morning. Progesterone is 40+ and estrogen is 2,353. My nurse said that's good but I'm not getting my hopes up. Pregnancy test is next Friday. I'll update soon. Good Luck and ~*~ babydust ~*~ to all...
May 28th: I started spotting yesterday and have very mild cramps today. I guess this isn't meant to be. I hope I don't have AF for spa weekend. That would not be good. I go for the pregnancy test on Friday morning but I'm sure the results will be negative. This is exactly how my other two cycles went. I'll update more soon. Good luck and ~*~ babydust ~*~ to all...
June 2nd: Unfortunately, I'm not pregnant and I'm not going thru this anymore. I can't keep putting my heart into this and not get a BFP in the end. Three was not the charm for me and I'm pretty much done. I have a follow up appointment on July 23rd at 6:30 in the morning and then I'm done. I still have one frozen embryo that I'll probably never use. I'll check in once in a while and see how everyone is doing. Good luck and ~*~babydust ~*~ to all...
June 9th: My follow up appointment was changed from July 23rd to June 5th and I honestly have no idea what was discussed. I had my best friend admitted to hospice the day before and was told she would not make it thru the weekend. Well, unfortunately, they were right this time and she passed away at 10:45 pm on Friday, June 6th (just 6 months after being diagnosed with malignant melanoma stage 4). She just turned 34 in March and was such a lively person. I will miss her with all my heart and am thankful that she is finally in peace with no pain. As far as my fertility treatment is concerned, I'm not sure where I stand with that. I have one frozen embryo but I am most likely taking a couple months off and will decide what I'm going to do after I call my doctor back next month for another consultation. I'll update more soon. Good luck and ~*~babydust~*~ to all...
