We are Back!!

Wow it feels like it has been forever since I have been able to update, but Alas I can finally say that we are ready to go forward again. It has been a crazy few months for all involved and for a little while it looked as if our journey may have been over. But thanks to a great group of people who run the New Blossom's New Life foundation we now have new hope, and a new Doctor and a whole new treatment plan!
This time around the RE feels it would be most beneficial to undergo IVF. This should definately increase D&J's chances of success.
There is still a few thimgs we have to get finished before day1 comes around, but it looks real good that early in the New Year I should be starting the Lupron/follistim injections and by the middle of Feb 2012 hopefully D&J will get that BFP they have been waiting so long for!
KEEP THE PRAYERS and BABY DUST COMING!!

On Hold

Well the decision has been made...we are currently on hold! D&J decided to take a month or so off to regroup and regain some savings. I will update again once we restart our Journey :)

BFN's and Blah blah blah

Well today's bloodwork confirmed another BFN... :-(   I guess I shouldn't be so surprised, this was only our second IUI...just hoping that D&J aren't getting too discouraged. I still believe we are gonna get this right eventually, and now that we are through a few months the RE is willing to let us proceed with Injectables next round(most likely follistim), which he has informed me is over twice as effective as the Clomid and also greatly increases the chance for Twins :-) So keep ur chins up Guys...and PLEASE don't give up on this!!

Finally we progress

The Monday morning U/S showed that the 14 folli held on and was now a 21. Took my trigger shot of Ovidrel last night at 2am and we go in Tomm Weds (June 29) for the 2nd IUI...so start sending lots of BabyDust our way and Prayers for D&J and a BFP!

Quick Update

This month has flown by so fast I haven't even had time to update...so here is what happened so far. As expected I had a cd 3 U/S which was just to check for cysts...this went well and we were cleared to start Clomid 100mg cd5-9...had mid-cycle U/S and bloodwork yesterday(cd 13), and while the blood showed a higher than hoped Lh the biggest follicle was only 14mm...doc is hoping that I do not ovulate over the wknd and wants to do another U/S and Lh level check on Monday!! Fingers crossed that this 14mm folli holds on and turns into a nice 20+ for next week!

Back at One

Well finally we are back on track! AF arrived today (only 3 wks late) which RE suggested was prob due to late and/or double O of small follies in May. So we are finally finally finally back at day one! I'm predicting that my call to RE's office in morning will result in another U/S this wk to make sure there are no cysts and then Clomid(100mg) to be started day 5...feels great to finally have my body cooperating with us again :-)

Waiting again

Well this month was a bust...no follies large enough and estrogen was too low this time. Conference with RE yesterday and he decided that we should try to get a successful cycle with an increase in the Clomid before we try Follistim injectables! he also said to save D&J money and heartache we won't proceed with IUI next cycle unless all results of mid cycle testing are at the ideal levels and a success is most favorable :) So for now...we wait for AF!
