Medications!


They're here!!! I can't believe that they are officially here! I am so excited for this post!

After my ultrasound (last post) I was so excited that I received my protocol & set up another appointment for my saline ultrasound! I also have my saline ultrasound to check my uterus on the 9th. It's a super easy ultrasound to check for any abnormalities in the uterus by filling it with saline. I'm finishing out the birth control until the 29th & should receive the dreaded period around the 1st or 2nd of June.
I have my baseline ultrasound and baseline blood work on June 2. The ultrasound is just to check the ovaries to make sure that there arent any follicles that could possibly disrupt the process altogether by already being bigger than normal. This is important for us because of my last follicle count being so high & being diagnosed with PCOS. We will be keeping our fingers crossed that we wont be dealing with any cysts with the meds. This can derail everything as well.
I will be starting the first shots on June 4th. I can't begin to tell you the anxiety and excitement that this is bringing. Knowing that we could have a little baby growing soon is so. . . surreal. Anxiety from the fact that I know my husband is going to be possibly the worst person to give me a shot. More than likely I will have to give myself the shots until I reach progesterone. Thankfully I have an amazing support system from family, friends, and a facebook support group. I'll be checked with another ultrasound on June 9th & again June 12th to determine when egg retrieval will be. Our tentative dates so far are June 16, 17, or 18. Then we will be doing a 5 day transfer and those dates are tentatively June 21-23. Im excited. We are transferring 2 embies if two make it to transfer. We're hoping for a healthy little lovebug to join our family at the end of Feb or early March.

Cant wait to tell you all about my saline ultrasound on Tuesday!

Until Then,

xoxoxo

Just for a little bit of humor

New Year, New . . .

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! So this post might be a little bit all over the place due to my husband being busy with his own work and our daughter watching  "Finding Dory" in the same room as me. If you're a mom with a toddler, then I know you know what I'm talking about. If you aren't a parent yet, just wait! Your time is coming! I just know it!! When I last updated, I had just returned home from a stay in AZ & WA and was permanently grounded from traveling by my OB. It was a great way to kick off our holiday season! Thanksgiving was pretty uneventful, but it was fun to spend time with friends & we hit Target for the Black Friday deals. Who doesn't love Black Friday deals? I got Little Man's baby monitor & some gifts for the nephews for way less than what I was expecting! The baby monitor was even more perfect for the fact that it's a dual monitor & Penelope's monitor has been used so much that it's starting

All That Jitters. . . Could Lead To An Amazing Idea!

Blog Day! I have been looking forward to this all week long!!  It has started to set in that we are really about to do IVF. With that being said, I started doing research about IVF & quickly became overwhelmed. The meds, the syringes, the needles, the organizing of it, the timing charts, etc. I found comfort in Pinterest when I found an easy and inexpensive way of organizing the insane amount of items that would be cluttering my bathroom in the near future. . .  I never knew the extent of IVF. I knew the ins and outs of IUI and what work went into it, but I think I knew and researched that because I had the "we wont need IVF" mentality. If I would have known then, what I know now I think I wouldn't be so overwhelmed. I quickly became overwhelmed and could only think of how much it was going to cost. The possible numbers were going on over and over and over in my head and I couldn't break the feeling that IVF was just going to be out of our reach. Those jit

Tigger & Retrieval

Image
I didn't update on Monday like planned, but it's been a whirlwind of emotions. I went into my appointment on Monday and had my follicles checked up on. Thankfully the number went from 37 to 30 and my doctor was more than thrilled. having PCOS and so many follicles put me at a greater chance for OHSS. I had my estrogen level checked and was told to wait by the phone because it could be the day for trigger! I was so happy when my favorite nurse called and told me to take my trigger at 8:30 and that egg retrieval would be Wednesday!!! I have been waiting anxiously for this whole process to come! Next was trying to find someone that would be willing to give me my intramuscular HCG injection that is done on the butt cheek. If you know my husband, then you know that he is the type of person that needs a lollipop and TWO stickers when he has to get his blood drawn. He gets weak behind the knees even if I even describe something that might be gnarly. My best friend Justine is a bart
