Triggered
A Bump in the Road
March 9, 2009 in Life, Trying to Conceive (TTC)I have been *so* excited today. I’m triggering tonight, and my retrieval is Wednesday. What’s not to be excited about? I’ll tell you what. When my IVF coordinator called me with an update on today’s lab work, she said my estrogen actually *dropped*. They...
One Day to Go
March 8, 2009 in Life, Trying to Conceive (TTC)At least that’s the plan right now. My results weren’t as good as we had hoped for after the doctor lowered my dose of Follistim to 100 iu yesterday, so he increased it back to 125 iu. I had 20 follicles measured, 19 of...
Anyone Have a Coin to Toss?
March 7, 2009 in Life, Trying to Conceive (TTC)I might trigger tomorrow night. Or, I could trigger Monday. Basically, everything’s up in the air right now. That’s what my IVF coordinator said when she called this afternoon. It sucks because I am *so* anxious to get this party started. I am feeling...
Bummed
March 6, 2009 in Life, Trying to Conceive (TTC)It looks like my retrieval and transfer will be delayed a day. Sigh. This morning, everything seemed great when I had my u/s. The doctor told me that my retrieval likely would be Monday or Tuesday because I had several large follicles (14 mm)...
A Big Thumbs Down to the Georgia Senate
March 5, 2009 in Grrr, Trying to Conceive (TTC)Senators here in the Peach State are trying to make it even harder for women battling infertility to have children. SB 169 would: limit the number of embryos transferred during an IVF cycle. Women under 40 would only be allowed to have two embryos...
Progressing on Track
March 4, 2009 in Life, Trying to Conceive (TTC)I had yet another great visit today at my RE’s office. In fact, the woman who did my u/s said, “You’re going to a *pleasure* to do a retrieval on.” I was pretty darn proud about that. My estrogen level is 479, which my...
My Follicles are Kicking my Butt
March 3, 2009 in Life, Trying to Conceive (TTC)I am sore. Really sore. And tonight will be just my fourth stims shot. My IVF coordinator says it will get worse. Bring it on, follicles. The aching shows me my meds are working and makes the bloating and weight gain worth it. My...
Conversations
in Life, Men vs. Women, Trying to Conceive (TTC)Joe: “What meds do you need to take tonight?” Me: “Nothing.” Joe: “Seriously? No shots?? No pills??” A night without meds *is* pretty shocking. On the flip side, Joe and I are both taking an antibiotic for the next few days. When I told...
Let the Stimming Begin
March 1, 2009 in Life, Trying to Conceive (TTC)I started the second shot in my hormone cocktail last night, and I have to say, I’ve never been so excited to inject myself. Sure, the Lupron was fun because the process was getting started, but this is the “big” drug, the drug that...
