#1 - Thanks Suz for posting the update. I appreciate it.
Okay... so I get to the doctors and we do the post-coital. Every other month things have looked really good but this month it was bad. My CM was completely non-exsistant (which I totally knew from
) and so he said that it was okay and I was going to have to do IUI if I did have a follicle.
On to the ultrasound. It was shit... nothing... Biggest one this time was a 9. (Last month was a 10 and it needs to be a 20!
) I just felt so so numb but then the doc was like, "there is one more option."
DH and I went to Dr. Elrod's office and he has this HUGE medical text book open on his desk. He says I am going to do Clomid one more time but take steroids with it. (The steroid is called Dexamethasone.) He said in some cases, that "wakes up" the ovaries and Clomid will then work. So... one more with Dr. Elrod and one more month of Clomid (50mg.) He said 50mgs because if it does work then he doesn't want me to have 14 folicles. LOL In my opinion, 14 is better than ZERO but I know what he is saying so I agreed.
No more post-coitals for me. When I do O, it will now be IUI. The trick is now to freaking O. Maybe these steroids will help. We shall see. This is a last resort though with my doc. After this, it is really is on to shots with a new doctor. He made that really clear to us today.
Now I wait til cd34 and then Provera. On cd1 I start the Dexamethasone and Clomid is still cd5-9.
Because I was bummed today, I cut my hair REALLY nice ($60 later - I will post pictures tomorrow night.) and bought "Conceive" Magazine and a flat iron and some other things. DH really spoiled me and took good care of me today. (He always does but he has done his damnedest to cheer me up and I totally appreciate it!)
So... such is life... On to IUI and Dexamethasone and god knows what else but it will be okay. Really, we are going to work this thing out!
to all of you. Thank you for all the love and support. It means the world to me and I would be lost without you gals and BnB!
