Tenative Scheduale

It has been a tough week filled with uncertainty and anxiety. DH had the analysis done and we were waiting for the results. We have been in talks with the RE about freezing the sample for back up for the IVF. But on the day of the analysis me and the DH decided to see what will happen and if it was hard for them to find any sperm then we will come in the next week to do the freezer pop. But for some reason the RE decide to freeze this sample any way with out even notifying or consulting us. I'm a lil pissed at that.

The next this was that the Coordinator has been out of the office for about a week and a half and I'm getting antsy because i didn't want my cycle to mess up due to the fact that because she wasn't able to schedule me in on time. I have to make a pest of my self with the nurses to make sure when she does her daily call for updates that they notify her of my situation. it wasn't until Thursday the 8th that i was able to get across the time sensitivity of the matter and they finally called her and got me a schedule.

09/19: Last BCP
09/23 Baseline Ultrasound and labs.
09/24: Start Injections
10/05: egg retrieval

So far that's all i got. I was really tripping for a moment due to the lack of lupron. but i guess not every office uses lupron with their protocol, and not every person needs it.
I just hope that I don't have to suffer the pain of OHSS and BFN again

Oh well ...Still Playing the Waiting Game

OK. So we are still playing the waiting game. DH had his count done and we froze a portion for the IVF as back up since on our first IVF was ruined due to them not being able to find any sperm. I'm waiting to hear from the Coordinator for my care plan and for her to order my meds via the Compassionate care program. She is for some reason off on vacation and wont be back until the 12th.. When i called today they told me that while she is gone she still calls in to check on things so i may receive a call this week, though i won't hold my breathe. So until we get that call...to be continued....

Aunt Flo again..

I finished my first pack of BC pills and have to begin another pack in 2 days on my day three again. Since i ask RE specifically for my retrieval to be in OCT my protocol hasn't been set yet so once again I'm on the BCP. Which is no big deal. I don't have any side effect or adverse effects from the pills so I'm good. The DH was given a regiment to try and see if it will help with his providing the best quality of good sperm for insemination. That will be next Tuesday and we will have an analysis and possible freeze of the IVF.

Appointment #1

Waiting, waiting waiting.....
I hate waiting..
I hat a 9:30 appointment for a consult, But i didn't get in to see the doctor until 10:45....AAHHHHHH!
I hate that..But anyway, I had to vent a lil.
During the consult we went over a lil bit of the steps involved with the IVF process. I was prescribed low does Birth Control. I have a referral for my hubby to see another urology to make the sperm retrieval optimum and also he gave us a pair of genetic test kits for us to send in our saliva to another company.. weird.. I feel like I'm doing a DNA test and we are going to see who the daddy is. I had my 4 day blood work done and that was about it. He has my form for the Compassionate care program so i guess once my blood work gets back we will know where i stand and we will order my Stim Meds!

Appointment Set

I have my appointment set for Wednesday for my 3 day (actually 4 day) Blood work, Ultrasound, and Consult. I will keep you guys posted on the findings.

Free IVF MEDS!!!

Thank God!!!
We were approved for free stim meds thru the Compassionate care program!! We are so excited and thankful!! So the next step will be to have my three day blood work done which looks like will be in 2 days since AF started today!

Back at it again

After our last disappointing IUI cycle my DH and I are considering our next move to be IVF. We are looking at our finances and making some changes to see if that will be a procedure we can accomplish later on this year. My DH feel his biological clock is ticking and he doesn’t want to be 30 with a baby to call his own. I am going to do some major cut-backs and budgeting and prayer to make this reality. To try a raise almost 10 grand in 7 months…that will be a serious blessing. But we have a goal. A silver lining at the end of a long and painful road. We can do it!
