Went to the Dr. today for another scan. Had 4 follicles on the right side! Only 2 were really mature but Dr. is hoping for 1 more. Waiting for them to call me about my hormone levels that they took this morning and then we will see if I will trigger today or wait another day or two. So excited to see if this time around works!

Holy hormones Batman!

Wow... today has been an emotional day for no reason whatsoever. I have felt like bursting into tears all day long for no real reason. Missing my sister, sappy movie trailers, moments for no reason!
Hopefully this ends soon!

Is it a sign?

Funny thing happened the other night...my DH took me out for sushi at our usual place and when the bill came I cracked up! The pen that came along with the bill was for none other than my OB/GYN's office! HAHA... is it a sign? Probably not but gave me a good laugh anyhow!

First Appointment since starting meds.

Went in this morning for my first check up since starting Femara and Gonal-F, things looked good, still early as I expected. My lining needs to become a little thicker and I had 1 follicle at 12mm and 3 more around 10mm which will hopefully catch up to the big one. Going to continue on meds for at least a couple more days and probably see the Dr. again on Wed. or Thurs! Hopefully then it will be time to trigger *crossing fingers*
I feel great this cycle, so far haven't really had any side effects from the injectables and NONE from Femara which is great! Can't wait to see what the next few weeks have in store, hopefully something good.

I did it!

I successfully gave myself my first injection last night! It wasn't a big deal at all and I hardly even felt it. I am feeling a little strange today, tired, a little crampy and have a slight headache. Not sure if this is due to the Gonal-F, Femara or something else.
I also created a Twitter account the other day, feel free to follow me! lifelongdream29

nervous about tonight.
http://twitter.com/%7Bscreen_name%7D
I start taking my Gonal-F injections tonight and I'm a little nervous, I was feeling really good about it when I went into the doctors for injection training but now I'm starting to doubt my ability to give myself the shots. Hopefully my husband will be able to do it if I find that I chicken out.

Day 3 on Femara and I'm feeling good! No crappy side effects like I got on Clomid, I have been feeling a little tired but that probably has nothing to do with the medication. I start my injections tomorrow night and I'm a little nervous, at least the needle is small.
So far so good and feeling great about everything.

an exciting day...
Today I started my medication for this next cycle, feels great since I had a 2.5 month unexpected delay to starting this cycle.
Hopefully things will go smoothly and in a few weeks I will have good news to report.

one of these days I will learn.
One of these days I will learn that I cannot plan ANYTHING or count on ANYTHING to go the way I want it to in regards to my treatment. One day I will learn this and therefore avoid the surprise, frustration, resentment and disappointment that comes with being ill prepared.
A little back story.... those of you who read this know that about a month ago we switched to an RE from my OB/GYN. On my last cycle with my OB/GYN I developed a cyst on my right ovary as a side effect of Clomid. She said it should be a one time thing since I had never had a problem with cysts before. The cyst went away later that month. Shortly after switching Dr's my husband and I went on vacation (before we could do a cycle) my RE suggested that I start birth control pills while on vacation so that I was ready to go when we get back and pretty much guaranteed to not have a cyst. I said no because I have never been on bc before and the idea of regulating my already very regular cycles scared me.
back to present time...
yesterday I had my cd3 baseline scan to make sure I was ready to start all of my meds and do our 5th insemination. My right ovary looked great, in a resting state just as my Dr. wanted..... then there was my left.... I have a fluid filled cyst measuring 28x19mm. Almost twice the size that is safe to begin treatment with. So as if in an "I told you so" moment I am now on bc pills for 2 weeks to get the cyst to at least shrink but hopefully go away entirely. Hopefully in two weeks I will be able to start my meds and get this train rolling out of the station but I'm trying not to let myself get too confident about that happening so that the universe doesn't feel the need to remind me again.

It's been a while...
wow, I haven't been on here in a while... Not to much has been going on. We went on vacation which was nice and now we are finally getting ready to begin our 5th cycle, our 1st cycle with our RE. I called today and ordered all of my meds so now it's really starting to feel real.
I'm really hoping that this is it and we will get the healthy little bundle of joy that we have been wanting so badly.
