Femara Friends!

[sugarpi24]

Took a vacation day today and went garage saling with my mom..grandma and Aunt. Had lots of fun! Got burnt too...hopefully it turns into a tan. Saw some Winnie the Pooh stuff and it tempted me but i said NO! lol

Had my U/s this morning and shows 2@11 on the left and 2@11 on the right...so i could have 4 possible follicles. I will continue injections tonight..tomorrow and sunday. I go back on Monday at 8:15 for another u/s and blood work.

Just found out today that i have a $600 dr bill from the FS i thought it was only $200 :/ its like we cant catch a break!! but im working overtime this weekend so that means more money...hope it helps. we also have a week coming up that we wont be getting paid. :/ stressing me out...trying not to think about it and trying to just go with the flow on everything. My mom told me that my dad might have got the stuff for our roof for us...but she told me she isnt sure so not to say anything to my hubby...i really hope so!!! im tired of having tarps on our roof to stop it from leaking! i think my husband will cry when he finds out if it happens! because that is his biggest concern with the house is the roof and i think he will be relieved to know its done and fixed! i know i will be!! itll be so nice! fingers crossed!

OHMYGOODNESS I am so excited right now!!

I have follicles on BOTH my left AND right ovaries!!! My right ovary has never done anything but sit there like a bump on a log - but this month?? Oh yeah, it's there!! Its flattened so the left one is dominant and took over, but it's still there!

My ultrasound results were, and again, this is just CD10 so I have to go back first thing Monday morning because they're thinking I am going to ovulate early and my left one will rupture Monday/Tuesday so they want to get me in for another ultrasound and give me that trigger shot.

Right ovary: 2.06cmx1.06cmx.70 = 1.27cm average (not good, but it's still there!)
Left ovary: 1.99cmx1.75x1.81 = 1.85cm average <-- that's the money maker right there!!

I am going to ovulate and I am going to take every possible freakin' CM imcreaser so maybe I'll ovulate and my vagina won't murder the sperm before they even have a chance!! teehee

I think femara is going to work .... I am really really thinking that one of the femara cycles will be what I need. If it's not this one, it will be another one!

Numbers went up to 440. Doc still recommending methotrexate. Go to see him again tomorrow for another scan and consult/

How did your consult go? Could they see anything on the scan?

Welcome Ibelieve and usnavywife!

Karen - Hope you are feeling better!

Galen - When is AF due?

J_Lynn - Yay for producing follies on both sides! Good luck this cycle!

Babybemine -

Sugarpi - Good numbers! I'm glad you were able to take some time to spend with your family. I really hope it does work out that your dad was able to get everything to fix your roof. That is just too much to have to worry about on top of everything else!

AFM - I'm supposed to restart BCP tomorrow after finishing my 5 day break from it, only I just realized that when I picked up the rest of my IVF meds (9 of them!!) they forgot to give me my new pack of BCP and of course they are closed on the weekend. I do still have 5 left from my last pack but I know some BCPs have varying doses within the pack based on CD. Has anyone ever taken Apri before or know whether it has a consistent dosage throughout the pack??

Also, I got a statement/bill today for the IVF deposit... $7621, and that is just the deposit! A little worried to find out the full cost!!

Yes ouch for the deposit... My doc calls in the meds to the specialty Pharmacies who then call me and have me pay them directly... so all in all the meds I paid for over the phone were 2625.00 which was cheap since he used an overseas pharmacy But then I got the bill for 8895 deposit for the ER and ET..

None of the above included the Hysteroscopy and trial transfer I did... Which then turned into a surgical hysteroscopy haven't received those bills. haha adds up fast.

 

[Prayerful]

Ugh! It sure does. I suppose I can't really complain too much though because I am fortunate enough to get my meds for free on base. There is only one that isn't available on base but they are saying that it will probably be covered. I can't believe it was over $2600 just for meds, or that that is "cheap"!

Sorry to hear about the polyps (I saw about that on the IVF thread). Does that push your schedule back at all? My mock transfer and saline sonogram are coming up on June 18. Praying all goes well and we can keep on schedule!

I was lucky enough that they had someone call in and cancel their surgery the same time I was there having a trial transfer... while doing the trial transfer they found the polyps.... so I was able to take that persons surgery time just a couple days later! Pure luck so there is no delay in the IVF

 

[babybemine]

scan went lousy...I knew during it that we were going to be doing methotrexate. I had one tear down my face during the whole tvus and then started crying when it was over because I just knew what I was goin to do. hubby was like it is ok we can retest in a day and see how the numbers go up but I knew that we were doing the methotrexate. I have had bout of crying but I know we can get through this.

 

[Galen]

J_Lynn- greats news! Go follies go!

Karen- Ugh, I have a super gross cold now too. Summer colds are the worst

KWag- Congratulations, HH9M!

Brandy- so lucky about the surgery! That is great!

Sugarpi- how can you not get paid for a week of work?!

Babybemine- I hope this roller coaster ride calms down for you soon. I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. Millions of hugs!

Prayerful- I don't know about Apri....glad all seems to be moving right along now though!
I am 9 dpo now, so AF due later this week and then I start my BCP as well (not as part of protocol yet though, just to allow easier scheduling of my trial transfer and SIS....

Babybemine - I am so sorry. Big to you.

Galen - Praying AF stays away!

Brandy - Wow! That worked out perfectly! So glad there was no delay for you!

 

[ESwemba84]

Babybemine - so very sorry.

I'm just currently waiting on my ultrasound on Tuesday. I'm supposed to get a trigger shot, but my BBT charts in the past have shown ovulation *might* occur early, like day 12. Tuesday is day 14. I guess I'll find out when I get there. Me and hubs are doing it in the meantime to cover our bases.

Have any of you ever had mild cramping/pain around the ovaries with Femara? I feel like I can feel the bigger follicles forming, which is dumb because I don't even know how my follicles are doing!

I swear this cycle I felt my ovaries doing something, and when I went in on day 10 I had that big follicle - so I think I can feel it. I didn't feel that with the clomid, but I sure felt like a pinging pain in my ovary this month.

I had wicket ovulation cramps with femara.

 

[babybemine]

I always feel them growing. I get discofort in my groin. nurses say I am just sensitive to my bodies goings on.

 

[J_Lynn]

2nd ultrasound this morning .... I hope this follie has either already burst, or I'll get the trigger shot if it's on the verge of. I will be crushed if it's flattened out and shriveling away so I am going to just keep thinking that it's ready to pop or already has

 

[Ibelieveitwil]

Ladies,

Day 13 scan femara NO FOLLICLES!!! I told my gynae we moving to a fertility specialist and he was really nice about it. He advised me to go to one of he doctors he has worked with before so hopefully we can get an appointment soon!! My DH will be doing a SA on Thursday wish it was sooner but we dtd so we have to wait three days!!! I will be doing a hystercopy, laparoscopy and HSG so we can start on the next phase of treatment. Im feeling a little better and more optimistic about the treatments and happy my gynae is on board about the whole thing. I will therefore be moving away from this thread but I wish you ladies lots and lots of s
