I just realized I left everyone hanging! Of course my cycle was officially cancelled. I was told to stop all estrogen meds and was given a prescription for Provera (oral progesterone for 5 days and once stopped my flow will come). They figured I needed Provera with cancelling the cycle mid period cycle like that. Fine by me. My Synthroid dose was also upped from 50mcg to 100mcg. They want to recheck it on May 5th.
NO MORE FETS WILL START UNTIL THIS IS UNDER CONTROL.
That last sentence hurt to type. I hate waiting. I am not a patient person what-so-ever. So now I wait to fix my TSH level (to below 2.5 from 5.04). Once that is fixed THEN we can start a cycle. So it won't be until end of May or beginning of June until we even think about transferring those last two embryos. This is unfortunate because my gut just doesn't really believe in those two. They are only day 3. I hope to God to be proven wrong. I hope my boy/girl twins read my blog one day and say, "man mom, you didn't believe in us?" Sorry kiddos....mom doesn't. Frozen on only day 3 (as opposed to heartier day 5) and not the greatest quality.
Since they most likely will fail, we WILL be doing another IVF in the summer. I have been on a MILLION supplements to build egg quality. A hundred dollars of month worth (I haven't officially added this up, but it must be something close to that). I just want to get IVF #3's egg retrieval out of the way so I can stop taking all of these pills. It's not the money I am worried about. I worry about injesting so many weird things all at the same time day in and day out. I may be helping my eggs, but I'm probably killing my kidneys and liver. Ha!
About Us
- Lauree and Mike
- After an 8 year battle with infertility and countless struggles, our family is finally complete. This blog chronicles the journey it took for us to start and build the family we always wanted. Background on the blog (started in 2012, just days before I found out the embryo transfer for our son worked).... I decided to start a blog after realizing I have only been able to make it through my TWW's (two week waits) with the help of Google and with the openness of other women suffering from infertility sharing their own stories and giving others hope. I have time and time again found my exact symptoms on other women's blogs and felt an overwhelming sense of calmness they provided me. I thought it was time to pay it forward and hopefully provide this same thing to other women on their own journeys.
