CD 1- Here we go...

By
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...

Some statistics on Miscarriage

By
Miscarriage Statistics Overall miscarriage risk is 17-22%; risk after gestational sac is visible is 12-15% Miscarriage is one of the most frequent problems in human pregnancy. The most widely accepted definition is that proposed by the World Health Organization in 1977. The incidence among clinical pregnancies  (a pregnancy that is confirmed by both high levels of hCG and ultrasound confirmation of a gestational sac)  is about 12-15%, but including early pregnancy losses it is 17-22%. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11950476 After heartbeat is detected, risk of miscarriage is 9.4% at 6wks; 4.2% at 7wks; 1.5% at 8wks; 0.5% at 9wks To estimate the risk of miscarriage among asymptomatic women after a prenatal visit between 6 and 11 weeks of gestation where proof of fetal viability of a singleton was obtained by office ultrasonography at the same visit. METHODS: Those recruited were 697 asymptomatic women who attended their first antenatal ...

By
I am scared to even get a little excited.... I want to be elated right now...I do...But all I can think of are the "what if's"....I am going to try and stay as positive as possible, and keep saying over and over..."My body WILL carry this baby to term, I will have a take home baby!"
