Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm shocked! View attachment 31710:yipee:




I woke up this morning and my period hadn't started still, so I took a test just knowing it would be negative. But within seconds a line started showing up!!!:cloud9: I need to go to the Dr. to tell him because he doesn't think I produce enough progesterone, so I need him to get me on something to help it stick. Please stick!!!

Enjoy your vacation - Chelsea.... u deserve it.. u worked very hard past month :winkwink::winkwink:... lol...
 
:hi: Hi Jen! My name is Jen too! I guess everyone will have to refer to me as Bizy still... :)
 
Hi girls! I have been busy since my FS appointment so I haven't been on very much. I had a variety of blood tests and a follicle scan. My follicle was close to 14mm on Thursday, so I should be ovulating really soon. :happydance:

My Dr. was great. I am going to stick with the Clomid for 1-2 more cycles with follicle scans, HCG injection for Ov, progesterone supplements, and a HCG blood test 2 weeks after Ov. I am really excited about this, as my previous Dr. did not monitor me.

If I'm still not pregnant in a few cycles, I will move on to IUI (either with Clomid or injectables/gonadotropins). I can stay on Clomid as he believes I have a good chance due to age/health but I can also move to injectables if I want to be more aggressive. The disadvantages to injectables are: I have to inject it myself (ahh, needles?!?), I need to go every other day for monitoring, and I have a much higher chance of multiples (I worry about triplets+ and the risks associated with multiples). I don't even know how I'll be able to go that often. I teach and can't be out of the classroom that much and the office is an hour away! I'm not sure what I will decide to do, but I'll deal with that when the time comes.

For now, I am focusing on my bfp for this cycle! Maybe I won't even have to worry about what happens next. PMA!
 
yes bizy thats the right attitude to have! I am fortunate that while in school the fertility clinic is only about a 3 min drive from the campus, I could more then likely walk it if I want to.

Have fun on vacation chelsea
 
Bizy - good to know about things moving for you.
..for my IVF i have to go through down regulation cycle and it does involves having injections i have to take myslef.. not looking forward to it.. but then since im going this wed.. to meet the nurses, they will show me how to take those injections.. i dnt mind needles tho..

also, i was plannig to talk to my manager once i know for sure that im starting IVF ion september.. becuase i need to take time off for egg pick up and all and also i have to go for scans before that.. i think telling the manager will be a good idea... im stressed about all that but looking forward for it...

sorry for long rant.. guess im just rambling..
 
we posted at the same time aussie! So glad you're starting your IVF soon! I am still waiting for my consultation appointment for IUI and IVF.... should get a call in sept sometime for an appointment in oct sometime, it's so hard to be patient
 
Tiffany - i know its so hard to be patient... i dunno some days i feel im full of PMA and other days like today... i feel so down and think nothing is happening for me and all that.. September cycle seems so so far away..
also, depending on my thyroid levels i may get referred to endocrinologist for some supplements.. i dnt want that to delay start of my IVF...

Down regulation cycle takes 6 weeks from the start.. and it still almost 5 weeks for me to start that.. so all 11 weeks before i have any chance to see a BFP..... so its seems so far away..
I constantly worry about what if IVF fails.. i will have no where to go :cry::cry::cry:... sorry im feeling a bit down today
 
Aussie, I am very nervous with needles. I think it's partly because my grandmother had diabetes and I remember watching her take insulin when I was younger and I also don't have great veins for giving blood. I always bruise! It's something I will get used to though if it has to be done. I'm more concerned with actually getting to the clinic so often for monitoring. I'm not sure how that's going to work considering they are opened the same time that I am teaching. My OH can just leave for a few hours and come and go as he pleases. I have to take a half day off even if it's for an hour and get a substitute. I'll have to figure something out when the time comes. I am coming to terms with the fact that I can't do this on my own and I am trying to stay positive. I can see why you'd want to take to your manager, as you will need a lot of time with IVF. Good luck with your meeting on Wednesday! xx

Kelly, chances are we'll be going through IUI at the same time! I am so jealous that you can walk to your office. :)
 
bizy - same with my DH .. he can take time off as he pleases...
having said that.. im lucky that i have a very understanding manager...so he wont mind that... i have saved up some annual leave.. which i always thought i will take when im preggo... so i think its a good idea to take them when i go to IVF..
thinknig abt all that make my head spin:headspin:
 
I Hear you! I won't be starting IUI till Nov ish then if that doesn't work no IVF till feb/mar!!!!!! It's another 6 months waiting for ivf once you get your initial appointment, we'll be doing IUI in the mean time but I a worried if IUI doesn't work cause we can't afford IVF although my MIL told me the other day she would invest some money towards the costs god bless her. We have amazing family.
 
I agree with you Tiffany - this waiting game is frustating...
Financially , well we have put buying our house on hold just to make sure how much this IVF business will take.
We dnt want to invest all our savings in house and then if money needed for IVF we are stuck... :dohh:
