CYCLE CANCELED

So I have been really upset the last few days or I would have posted this earlier. On Friday my number spiked up way to high to do the IVF. They went up to 5200 and something. I can't believed this happened. In the beginning my E2 levels were slow to go up and then I over stimmed. I just don't get it. Not only was the cycle canceled and we have to wait and start all over but we are out the original $3991 but I also spent $2200 on my injestable medications that are obviously not returns or refund able:( This whole experience has been an emotional roller coaster. My arms are all bruised up and sore from all the blood draws. Believe me it would all be worht it if it we for a pregnancy and not a canceled cycle. URGH I don't even know what's next or when I will start my period or if we will even be able to do IVF again next month:(

My IVF has been scheduled

My numbers are still going up (2988) and my IVF was scheduled today. Sunday is the egg retrival and Wednesday is the embryo transfer. I'm excited to have 3 days of bedrest but a little bummer that I won't be spending Thanksgiving with family. Oh well if I get a baby out of it, it will all be worth it. I'm so excited to finally be starting the process to have a chance of having another baby.

E2 levels are still going up

Today my E2 levels were 1626. They are going up which is a really good thing. Now my ultrasound tomorrow will tell when we will be able to do the retrieval. I'm hoping for a Thursday or Friday retrival but not sure how it will play out.

My E2 numbers have sky rocketed

I'm so excited. So I think at this point I have absoulty nothing to worry about. My E2 number jump from 499 to 1155 only 24 hours later. I'm so happy. I'm excited to see what they are at tomrrow. I'm pretty sure my doc. will be doing the retrival by the end of the week. YAY!

Doc. Called Good News

I had my bloodwork done this morning and my levels went up alot. On Monday they were 55. Wednesday=65, Friday=127 and Sunday(today)=499. I'm so happy and excited. I have an ultrasound in the morning and more bloodwork. So I'm really hoping my little eggies are in there growing like crazy. I will update tomorrow as soon as I know what my eggies look like.

Today's news is still not much better

The only thing good about today was the fact that my numbers tripled but they are still exteremly low. The doc. said she is not sure why my body is not responding the way it should to all my injections. I'm just really scared that we will have to cancel the cycle. I have to go in for bloodwork at 8am on Sunday and again 8am on Monday along with an ultrasound at 9am Monday morning.

So today on the radio Maria Shaw was on 97.5. She is a well known local psychic. So I took a chance and called in to see what she had to say regarding our infertility. I told her name name, DOB and Rich's DOB. My question was, "My husband and I have been TTC for 4 years and this is our 1st month doing IVF.....what does the future look like?" The 1st thing she said was I SEE TWINS.....and my reply was AWESOME. She also said that the best time would be March 5th-July 2010. She said do get discouraged by me saying that because it can still happen now but that will be yourti me. I'm so excited. The thought of twins is overwhelming is a joyous way:)

I'm starting to stress out

So my bloodwork numbers are not where they should be at all and I was worried about overstimming. Doc. put off my ultrasound tomorrow until Friday. I'm hoping some miracle happens and my levels are normal. If not 1 of 2 things will happen. Either she will cancel the cycle and we are out our 1st $4000.00 or she will up my medication over the weekend and hopefully an ultrasound on Monday will be good news.

Well I have officially not stressed until today and I must admit this is mind boggling. I will update on Friday after my am appointment.

I had my ultrasound yesterday(Friday) and everything looked great. I started my injections last night and it was overwhelming but I think I managed. It did go well and was not hard to do or painful. So far I only know my medication schedule through Sunday. I have another appointment on Monday(11/9) that consists of bloodwork and an ultrasound to make sure the medication is not over stimulating my overies. That would be bad. The egg retrieval will be done by 11/18 and the embryo transfer will be done 5 days later. I hope it is done on the 18th so when the transfer is done on the 23rd I will have an entire week off. YAY!!!
