Cycle Day 9 Ultrasound Results

So we are a go for tomorrow morning.

There are 5 follicles ranging from 15mm to 21mm and another 3 a little under 15mm.

We have to be at the Office at 8am tomorrow morning.....

Injections put on Hold

I just got a call from the Doctors office and they said I needed to stop the Follistim Injections. I felt upset right away until the next words came out of her mouth which were it looks like you ovulated over the weekend and what we thought were cysts on your Ultrasound this morning are actually Corpus Lutetium. I put my upsetment on hold and asked her to explain. She said that my bloodwork indicates that I am producing Progesterone & in conjunction with another test looks like we may have conceived over the weekend but there is no way to know until next week some time for another US & BW. Because of my miscarriage history and sudden decline in Progesterone with Pregnancy I asked her if I should started the Progesterone suppositories. She said I will get a call from her in the morning to let me know if the Doctor wants me to do that and also give me my appt for next week.......

Oh baby or Babies if you can hear me

For now we are in Limbo waiting.......

Cycle Day 9

Well today is day 7 for the Treatments and Doctors appointments. I have had six injections since last Tuesday. Feeling fine overall, some cramping from time to time and tiredness but that about it. Aaron actually gave me my injections on Saturday and Sunday which is HUGE, he hates needles and usually passes out or gets weak when he sees me get stuck!! Bravo to A for surviving and getting involved

I went to the doctors this morning for the usual US and BW.....There were 4 follicles on the Right and 2 Cysts and either a Follicle or Cyst on the Left, they said they have to wait for the BW to come back to determine whats what....They are suppose to call me later today to let me know & I go back Wednesday for another US & BW stint....

2 injections Down!!

So last nights injection went well too. I actually didnt have any burning last night. I guess it wasnt as cold or something. I am exhausted today and alittle nauseous but thats about it. Have another injection tonight and we see the doctor at 715am tomorrow morning for repeat bloodwork and Ultrasound......

New Beginning

Today is my first day of a new quest in making Baby Anderson. I am 36 years old and My Husband is 32 years old. We have been trying for the past 3 1/2 years and have had 5 miscarriages. I had previously seen a fertility doctor last year for a few months which resulted in 2 of those pregnancies but after the 4 th miscarriage I became very worn of trying and being disappointed so we stopped treatments. Mind you our treatments weren't heavy at the time they were just Clomid and Progesterone with Ultrasounds and blood work every few days. It wasnt the treatment that wore on me it was the losses. Well, I had my 5th miscarriage in April 2008 conceived the good old fashioned way. For some reason that loss pissed me off and I am bound and determined to have the baby or babies my husband and I desire. I started seeing a new Reproductive Endocrinologist in May and he seems optimistic that we will have a successful outcome. I had to wait out the June cycle cause my blood work was still all messed up from the last miscarriage. I just started my new cycle on July 26 and was seen today for Blood work and Ultrasound. I got a call from the doctors office a little bit ago with a GREEN LIGHT for this month. I am starting the Follistim injections tonight and will be seen again on Friday Morning.....Fingers Crossed this works because our insurance only covers very little and we have to pay out of pocket for the medicines and the IVF if we had to go that route but I have a feeling this is going to be the magic month and that the one cycle of Follistim and IUI is all we will need....

Will keep you posted and welcome anyone who can give in site on success after 5 miscarriages or just wants to share their story....
