CD 1- Here we go...

Well, AF showed with a vengeance. Yay me.  The heat pack is my best friend....lol

I got the clear (Email back) from Braverman, that we could cycle this month. I will do my follow up consult with him later this week or next, on skype (depending on when the freaking check clears etc), instead of waiting until May 11th to do my F/U appt in person...Then I will pay the cycle fee, and get all my meds RX's- Since we are doing a semi natural/un monitored femara cycle, I don't have to worry about monitoring fee's, travel etc, we can just jump right in this month...I already have some neupogen on hand anyhow, and lovenox and prednisone, but I will have everything I need for the next 12 weeks soon anyway....

It is all starting to become real. I am not nearly as worried or stressed  about it all now....I think the last few days' mood swings were magnified by the hormones preceding AF...Beeotch!...Only a hint of melancholy today...Just wish I could know before hand, how this cycle was going to work out...Its a bit nerve wracking...Really hoping and praying it takes only ONE cycle, and we can snag a sticky!!! Hopeful EDD is, Jan 21/22/23- if I O in my normal range...=)

So far, here are the meds/supps we will be using this month:

Along with my normal prenatal and Synthroid I will be taking...

1. NAC (AKA N-acetyl cycteine) from CD 1 to Ovulation.
2. D3 10,000 IU a day
3. Metformin 2000 mgs a day
4. Prenisone 20 mgs a day
5. Femara CD 2-8
6. 10,000 IU HCG trigger ( pregnyl given SC) at + opk
7. Lovenox- 40 mgs 2 x a day by injection all cycle long.
8. Neupogen (dose TBD) from O to 12 weeks pregnant-
9. 1 baby aspirin a day
10. PIO 50 mgs inject 1 x a day
11. Prometrium- 1200 mgs a day

I also ordered some more OPK's/HPT's and some Preseed just to have on hand...I think I might need a new BBT therm too...Better get that soon!...

OK- Here we go- TTC with the big guns this time!

What you should know if you are considering a tubal reversal

By
Its been 8 years. 8 years since we took a trip to NC to see DR. Montieth in Chapel Hill. I remember being so excited. I had this picture in my head of how it was going to go during, and after it all. For those of you who don't know, I had my tubes tied in 2009, after the birth of my 3rd, directly following a traumatic still birth. It was a decision made out of fear and trauma, not an informed decision. I ended up having adverse health issues (PTLS) after, and was desperate to find a solution. I stumbled upon a private chat room with others also struggling. Several had gone for a reversal, and seemed to feel so MUCH better after. I had already seen my doctor umpteen times, and they offered no solutions, and insinuated it was "in my head".... I saw all of these ladies posting the day OF surgery saying that they felt relief! I was like, "Yes, this is it!!"... So we saved the 6 Grand, and went and did the reversal. I was PUMPED. I started a blog, YouTube video and F...

Lost for words...

By
I have been a funk...Not really much to say that has not already been said before..I feel like such a broken record....But I guess I should start somewhere, and give a little update of some kind... I have posted a few picture quotes that reflects some of how I am feeling, but I cannot seem to articulate MY feelings right now, in a personal way that is comprehensible to others, and doesn't make me look like an ungrateful bitch... I guess I will start off by saying, we had another chemical this last cycle...( + test's at 6/7 dpo- 9 dpo, (I tested early cause I almost threw up while socially smoking a cigg and having a drink with my friend and I didnt temp so I didn't know really where my cycle was for sure) and by 10 dpo tests had faded some, and AF came the NEXT day, even while still taking 800 mgs of progesterone supps (which I did start late at 7dpo, the day I got my first positive but none the less), giving me a whopping 10 day LP...=/ Here is one of my FRER's f...

Trust & New Pajamas

By
So, a blog comment I got the other day from wonderful woman, and awesome supporter of mine, caused me to pause a bit, and kind of evaluate some things about my faith and relationship with God. Which I truly appreciate, because she was kind and not judgy in her words...And I felt God gently nudge my heart each time I read the comment over... I felt my face start to burn with emotion, as tears welled up in my eyes...And I finally admitted to myself... I do NOT trust God...At least not fully, like I once did... But I desperately WANT to be at that point again....Trusting fully...And filled with peace... I walked into this journey,  to try for one more, 100% SURE , God was calling us/giving us the desire  to have another baby...I/we were, 100% certain we would walk away with a baby in our arms...As a matter of fact, I would have bet my LIFE on it. Now, 3 years later, I am broken, weary, and so utterly soul shattered, that I simply cannot "look" God in the eyes...H...
