YAY!! I'm hoping that she shows up very very very soon!!

 

[SKP]

Nothing yet, its non existant now

10 more days until my appoinment. Hope AF shows up soon, then I have to send it after my appointment, which I dont want to happen. Nice to have those day 3 results during that appoinment, since that is the starting point.

 

[dodgercpkl]

Bah! Stupid witch never does what we want her too. I'm really hoping and praying that she shows up soon for you.

 

[SKP]

Cd 52, no sign what so ever, but i am just now due for another af for dec, hopefully it arrives before next week before my appointment.

Would your RE/specialist prescribe you prometrium or anything to get it started faster?

I have no idea, I'm due for another cycle 2 days ago, and still nothing
For my sake of mine, Im going to get a test to find out. I don't want to embarrass myself going to my appointment and them asking me if I tested yet haha.

Last time I had issues, I was given progesterone. So Im going to request next week to be put on pills and have stimulated cycles. After all, the whole IVF is stimulated anyways.

Some go on birth control to prepare for ivf, so don't think having some medication to help me out.

So I don't have to deal with missed cycles. Missed cycles ruin my chance each month for ivf, my goal is to be started by the end of March. They don't me its a 1-3 month waiting list on ivf, which 3 months is end of March. It will be my 25th birthday then

Strange this happened to me last year as well towards the end of the year.

 

[dodgercpkl]

Yeah I can totally get that. I can't imagine that they would have issues with giving you something to kickstart a cycle or getting you on BC in prep for the IVF. Fingers crossed that you'll be sporting a bump (even if it's mostly bloat still), by your birthday!

 

[SKP]

Would be nice!

4 more days!

Cd 56!, had a bit of cramping like feelings tonight.

According to FF, it's cd 1 tomorrow. And according to my countdown today is cd 1. But not officially, my body is being messed up.

How is your pregnancy going?

 

[dodgercpkl]

Hoping that's a sign that she's on her way!

My pregnancy is going well! I've had 5 betas done now and they've all doubled easily within 48 hours. In about 14 hours, I'll be in having my first scan done! I wish I was sleeping right now, but I'm way too excited/nervous for it! lol Bring on 2pm!

 

[SKP]

Awesome!

Nothing's changed for me, today is the last day for AF to come in order for me to do my day 3 before my appointment. And tonight is last night for to "be together", have to abstain for 3 days prior for hubs sperm test.

 

[dodgercpkl]

Boo on AF! Darn witch!! Hope you had/are having fun tonight!!

 

[TLB1986]

Hope AF show's her face soon!! fx for you!!

 

[SKP]

Nothing yet !

Tomorrow is my IVF consult day, I am unable to get my cd 3 done before the appointment

So hopefully maybe during my 2 day consult, pretty sure they can do the test then. If no AF, I wait for it then I do the test.

I can't wait to hear about your appointment!! Just one more sleep!!

Our 2 hour info session was great. The place was packed, we was the youngest there. Hubby had a hard time, he cant handle any medical at all. He almost fainted, was sweating like crazy and squirming and drinking juice to stop himself from fainting.

Today is appointments, his sperm analysis and my ultrasound and internal ultrasound. Ill update later

 

[dodgercpkl]

YAY!! Glad to hear it went great!! I look forward to your update!

 

[SKP]

The 2nd day for our testing went well.

My hubby was tested for sperm, he is still good to go.

I had my ultrasound, that went well, but by seeing it, I kind of knew something was odd. As she was checking my ovaries, they were empty black spots, and I cant quite remember if it showed a follicle, must have. I will explain more later on that.

So she did the internal, that went fine.

My results were given straight away to my doctor. as we started talking as he was looking at my results, from blood work and ultrasounds, he kepted repeating oh your so young, o your so young. And I looked at bbetween my mother and husband, and I spoke up and said am I still able to do IVF, or I was thinking to myself what does being young have to do with IVF.

He told me My FSH was high! beyond normal. I was a 22! With only 1 follicle!

So I asked what this means, he said IVF is no good! and I was like why. Because of the FSH is so high, I didn't even ask what were the rest of my results like the estradiol and all that, or any of the prescreening results. we just focused on the FSH.

So, I asked what do this mean, he said I have Very Low Ovarian Reserve, and showing signs of Early Menopause.
Which explained for the past 3 years of ttc, I had hot flashes, vaginal dryness, low sex libido, weight gain, irregular periods, thyroid issues, low hormones.

And that even my blocked tubes, could not be fixed surgically! It was unfixable.

And I was like what! and asked what that meant, he said I have no chance of using my eggs and ivf will not work.

And mentioned that I have The Fragile X Syndrome, and I was like what is that. Apparently its genetic and that is why my FSH levels is high, my body is going through early menopause. its mainly for boys, but for girls it affects fertility. So now I am doing genetic testing, if Im a carrier of Fragile X Syndrome or have a premutation. so I am not positive if I have Fraile X, and that is the reason why I have high fsh levels and going through early menopause.

We never went through deep of what is going on. we just focused on, that I have to look into egg donation or adoption. and of course I was crying to break my heart and I couldn't focus on asking deep questions.

We had to speak with a psychologist as well. which we had to do anyways for IVF, but the focus was put on our devastating news.

My grandmother went through early menopause at 34, but still had children. Im 24. I wont see the normal age for menopause and have to go through hormone replacement therapy for the rest of my life.

So right now I am doing more tests, and letting all this sink in. asking questions, When we are ready we can look into egg donation. then we go through the process of counselling and selecting a donor, and doing the implantation into my body. and also doing test to see if my body is compatible. I may be doing a HSG again.

But the doc said there is no reason why I cant have a pregnancy, just not have a biological child DNA from me, which is heartbreaking, but Im still thankful that egg donation is a huge option.

You may be wondering why no adoption, the reason, my husband is still able to father a child. I cant deprive him of that.

When we choose a donor, it will be the closest match to me.

If anyone has gone through what I am going through please or is going through, please please talk with me, I need someone to talk to that is going through what I am.

Oh hun. I'm so so sorry. I can only imagine the devastation you must have felt at hearing this. I've never been in this situation, but I have a couple of friends on facebook that have. One of the things that I've learned that's helped these friends too, is that once that baby starts forming in your body, it WILL take on some of your DNA because it draws materials and nutrients from YOU. So no matter that it's not completely yours and your husbands DNA, it WILL have both of you in it's make up. *hugs hugs hugs* Major prayers, thoughts and strength being sent your way.

 

[SKP]

I was so mind boggled but almost relieved at the same time. I now have answers.
