What a Week. . .

Wednesday (8/4/10) we ordered our vial of donor sperm.

Today I had a blood draw to check my Estradiol levels (that checks the growth of my follies) and it's only at 57.4. The dr wants to see it over 100 at this point. So I have to up my Gonal-F dosage from 75 to 112.5 units a night.

I go back on Monday for another ultrasound, to check the actual sizes, growth, and number of my follies. We should be able at that point, to tell when I should do my trigger shot and schedule my IUI.

Our little kitty, Autumn passed away. We have no idea what happened or why, but we miss her very much!

It's On!

Today is cycle day 3 and for anyone who has gone through fertility treatments, you know what that means. . . off to the doctor for a baseline ultrasound. We got the all clear to begin my injectables tonight.

One shot down (believe it or not, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. . . I even gave it to myself!) and hopefully only about a dozen to go.

I pray every day this is it for us. We won't have another chance, financially. So I say bring on the crazy chick with the raging hormones, bring on the poking and prodding, bring on the shots and psycho inducing, egg producing meds. . . because I'm tired of waiting and wanting and hurting, and I'm tired of wondering "Why not me?"
