Holy crap already.
Anyone do anything fun this past weekend? Saturday I had an afternoon with my bestie we picniked and played games
Sunday we did a family day at the State fair where and my husband had his official promotion ceremony.
Today (Monday) is just chill.
Not much going on this week. Day one of my cycle should start Thursday or Friday and then I start my meds and monitoring for retrieval. Hard to believe it is here already
I always want to go to our state fair but it’s like an hour away and it’s so hot out. Maybe next year (which is what I always say!).
I’m on day 7 of gonal-f. I go in tomorrow afternoon for another check to see how I’m responding. H and I are getting nervous about multiples (twins would be pushing it, but we could figure it out. Triplets would be really really difficult), and aren’t sure if we are going to go through with the IUI this cycle. Of course, who knows if it’ll even be an option. So if this cycle is cancelled, or doesn’t work out, I’m just not sure if I’d do this protocol again. We are thinking more and more about IVF, since we could potentially transfer only one.
I am still waiting for my Nov stims and IVF #2 but just found out I have endometritis from the D&C (of fucking course I do...) so I'm on a long course of doxycycline and I feel just awful. Today I puked up everything I ate before taking my morning dose. I'm miserable and so bitter that the hell of the D&C is leading me down this path. I'll need another endometrial biopsy when the antibiotics are finished, hopefully in Sept.
We are prepping for our FET cycle, today is CD10 and I was supposed to go in this morning but we were out of town and asked if I could go in for bloodwork/ultrasound tomorrow instead which they said was fine. I haven’t been in since CD3 but I usually don’t ovulate till CD14 so hopefully we are good. They want to trigger my ovulation so my body has HCG as part of the protocol, then I’ll take HCG booster shots after transfer.
I have been chugging raspberry leaf tea (disgusting) and pom juice in preparation.
I have one leftover gonal f injection pen, never used. Still in package. What should I do with it? Sell it? Give it away? I don’t really need it.
I’m emailing my clinic tomorrow about embryo adoption and I also had a CBC done at my last appointment and they never released my results. I wanted to see where my hemoglobin levels are. I’m sure it’s fine, because I feel fine.

I’m so sorry. I’ve done a lot of reading about endo because it usually goes hand in hand with adenomyosis. Do they want to do any excision surgeries?

I have heard that sometimes if there are too many follicles for an iui that an egg retrieval should be done and not a cancellation of a cycle. Ask about this!

Not endometriosis, endometritis. It’s inflammation f the uterine lining that is essentially an infection caused by bacteria introduced in some way (in my case from the miscarriage and D&C.) I’m really hoping the first course of antibiotics is enough to clear it up and it doesn’t become chronic.

Depe ding on howany you have definitely ask for a retrieval if you want. Or cancel and then move on to ivf. I know it is expensive (w epay oop) but yes it makes the transfer process so much nicer. Not quite as much worry about multiples (although one embryo could split).

Can you ask your clinic if they do donations for patients of meds?.one of mY clinics did and you could give them old meds for it.

joenaliilovecandy thanks for the suggestion. I feel like it would be too rushed to ask for retrieval. I mean, maybe they could make it happen, but mentally I don’t know if we’re ready. I also just started a new job and don’t know how I’d manage taking time off with such little notice.
Oh- I’ve felt like crap most of the day today and I’m worried about OHSS, although I don’t think my symptoms really align with it. I will mention it to my RE tomorrow at my appointment. Anyone have (the unfortunate) experience with OHSS and can tell me how they felt?

My RE said OHSS tends to happen after retrieval. I can’t remember if you’ve had your retrieval yet? I’m pretty sure I had a mild form of ohss. Super, super bloated, ovarian pain, tired. Overall feeling shitty. I called the on call dr because I was concerned. He said it was normal. Just keep an eye on your symptoms.
I think I'm at the official end of my rope. I tried to force a cycle AGAIN this time using PIO for 7 days. I literally spotted for 2 days and then stopped. This is the 4th attempt at a force and I can't bring on a cycle. I literally can't get to FET without a cycle starting. My clinic agree'd to 1 more force - this time (again) using provera for 10 days but instead of once a day it's 2 pills at night. If this doesn't work they're insisting I have another hysteroscopy and a dnc which I had back in May. I have severe PCOS so I either don't cycle or I'll have spotting (light bleed) for a month straight.

megstoo I cannot even fathom how frustrated you must be right now. I hope it works this time.
September already, holy cow. I'm still waiting on my antiphospholipid testing to come back. Most of my testing is covered by my provincial health care but I had to pay for this one, so I'm irrationally irritated that I have to wait so long for the results.
I start therapy tonight after work. Next week would have been the due date from my first loss. So far I'm handling it better than I thought in general (ie my own thoughts/feelings) but then I read/see something on social media and it's triggering. So that sucks.
