Femara Friends!

[LolaM]

Lola, I'm sorry to hear that. It's definitely disappointing. Will you try to pursue the adoption route again? You said your uterus can't be repaired. What's wrong with your uterus? I don't remember.

i have uterus didelphys which means that my uterus is in 2 complete, perfectly functioning pieces. Each piece is sealed, its not open so to put it together would mean cutting out a side of each, then putting it together as one whole thing, which would only weaken it and im surprised that the RE would even say such a thing. It is very rare, but 65% of women wth the condition go on to have full term pregnancies. My didelphys has nothing to do with my hashimotos, which has nothing to do with my fallopian tubes being extended into my abdomen. All separate, all unknown causes. We are going to continue to foster and adopt.

Never give up hope, miracles happen every day!!!!

Lola. Praying for your life to lead you to your destiny.

 

[LolaM]

well, the RE thinks it was a birth defect, right from the start and I know for sure that my birth father has an autoimmune disease, which is probably where I got the hashimoto from. the cost of using a frozen egg is a bit more than using your own eggs but its not NEARLY as awful as I thought it would be.

So may be an option then?

 

[LolaM]

mmm...we are ambivalent...no strong feeling one way or the other, and its a lot of money, its a car note!

 

[J_Lynn]

I hate to hear that I wish there was one all-purpose, simple solution - having to go through all the tests, shots, medication, money, stress just isn't fair when you just hear bad news Im so sorry

 

[LolaM]

its frustrating and upsetting and to put the cherry on top, they are taking our foster baby that we have had since he was 3 months old and putting him with a relative that isn't a suitable guardian and there isn't a thing we can do about it!

 

[Grateful365]

SMH.....I'm so sorry Lola. I can't imagine how hard that is not having control when you know what is best for the baby. You are doing a great thing for the kids though...Good things are going to come your way.

I'm so sorry to hear that Lola! God has a plan for us all though and I know one day you will get what you have been wanting so badly. Whether it be IVF or adoption you will get there, so stay strong!

AFM I was MIA just playing the waiting game after my second cycle of Femara and then on Mother's Day I got my BFP! HCG was 160 and Progesterone was 43.1 on 13DPO. I have more blood work on Monday to make sure things are doubling. I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm on progesterone pills so i'm afraid if i miscarry it will mask it. I also have a long road because of my Bicornuate uterus, but as for now I'm excited!! Keep your heads up ladies, it does happen!

Oh, we're great. He's going to be 5 months on the 14th. I became a sahm, and it's a lot of fun!

So sorry it's taken soooo long to post this girls. Unfortunately I have post natal depression so I have just been working hard to get on top of that. This is precious little Belle Harper! She is 7 weeks old tomorrow and such a good baby xox

OMG she is beautiful. I completely understand how you must be feeling. I had a hard time for a while after Sarah, my c section and struggling desperately to breast feed really affected me. I honestly believe as well that women who face fertility issues have a rougher beginning with their babies at times.
I was so upset I didnt get my "movie" style birth, I was disconnected with her, the idea I had to keep her alive i was so afraid. I remember at one point I thought perhaps I should go back to work and let me husband come home and take the maternity leave LOL.
But then it happened I started feeling full of love and I felt confident in abilities.
Now here she is almost 2 and I just took my first dose of fermara. I am excited for the future.
Again congrats and she is stunning

 

[Cridge]

Oh Chook - she's gorgeous!!! So precious!! Thanks for posting those - adorable!! I'm so happy for you! I dealt with some baby blues this time around as well. I can't remember exactly when things really felt better for me. I do recall that at 3 months I felt a little "lighter", and by 6 months it was another really great shift and I felt totally back to normal by then. I hope you feel better soon!!
