So AF decided to give me an early morning wakeup call today So I called the RE's office and pretty much left a pretty pitiful voicemail asking if we can go ahead with the cycle, since I'll be back in time for monitoring/IUI, I'll just be missing the baseline CD3 u/s. RE's office said they "don't recommend" doing a cycle without a CD3 because of the chance of a leftover follicle messing up the cycle, but that it was my choice. So, of course I said YES Sure, there is a slim chance there is a leftover follicle that will mess up the cycle, but I'd much rather risk that then take a whole cycle off after last cycle was a bust and we didn't even get to do the IUI. So then I had to rush out to a specialty pharmacy this afternoon, drove 100 miles round trip to get the darn meds (from Crystal Lake area to Naperville, for those of you from Chicago) because I needed them today and that was the only pharmacy my RE knew that always had the meds in stock and didn't need a special order or have a 1-2 day turnaround.
So, I leave for WDW tomorrow morning, meds in hand and ready to go for this cycle!

Be careful in the sun! That was my problem when I went down on meds! I usually don't burn very much but I sure as heck did over that trip! Most of all Enjoy yourself! Soak in the magic of the mouse!!

I had a med scare yesterday as well! I'm lucky I called my RN early enough and they were able to over night me the drugs! Sheesh! Can't wait til Sunday but shoot I could totally go for a beer tonight!

So, I've been tossing this idea around and I'm gonna do it!

I'm going to.......................................................

write a book about being a travel writer. It should be fun. Here's hoping I can get it all done by the end of the year!

Morning Ladies.

Well, I think I am calling it a day. I started spotting again and I feel really crampy. I really believe this doesn't bode well for a BFP. I've had my cry this am and I'm sure I'll have a few more over the next few days. I'm broken hearted. . . yet I'm so glad and thankful I had this timen. As I type this on the verge of tears again, I am so thankful to all of you and Mike. As sad as it is I am glad I got to have that fun for a week and although I wish the outcome was way different, God I do, the regret of not having tried at all would have been worse. . . Mike and I plan on going to the RE office and being there for 8 am so taht I can get in and out and get confirmation on what I already know. Some other good things came out of this, I'm gonna cut down on my beer consumption! I gotta tell you, waking up on a Saturday or Sunday with out a hangover has been GREAT! My diet didn't change but the lack of beer I think I lost a few pounds which is nice since I said I wanted to be fit and faboulous for my 40th. (I really wanted a dry 40th but we all know that. . .) I'll start my training this week for the two races I want to do in March and April. Mike and I agreed that of course we will try again with the other frozen embryo, but not until after our cruise in March. . . I need to give my butt a rest

Well that's all. I'm gonna chill for the day and maaaaybe do somestuff around the house. Ill post again tomorrow when I have confirmation.

So sorry and so angry that AF came That just totally STINKS. (and I mean more than stinks!!!!)
I know exactly where you traveled those 100 miles. But you gotta do what you gotta do. I think you made the right choice.
I'm thinking meds and Disney magic sound like a good combination. Have a great trip. We'll be here when you get back.

Oh E, I'm SO sorry. Big hugs to you and Mike. I know this isn't what you were hoping for at all and my heart is broken for you. I think it's great that you are willing and able to try with the other frozen embryo.
We are here to support you and help you through this.

So sorry AF decided to make and appearance.

I think you are making the right decision about proceeding without CD3. I went yesterday (CD2) for an U/S and they did see a leftover cyst from last month's follicle, but my RE didn't think it was large enough to forego trying this month. So even if they had seen something, you could potentially still proceed with this month. Sorry for your long commute! Wow, Crystal Lake to Naperville is quite the haul (we live in Vernon Hills).

Hope you are having a fantastic vacation!

 

[cc1013]

I'm sad for you...and also mad. Just so mad that there are SO many good people like us who go through SO much!!!

Amen to that! We all deserve a break!

Hey everyone-

Thanks for thinking of us! I talked to my sister on friday - she is ready to fight again. I am feeling pretty good about it. Her Dr. is having her do chemo for 2 weeks on and 2 off. She won't lose her hair - for now. She starts at the beginning of Feb.

I have an appointment for an ultrasound on friday - I am really looking forward to that. I am hoping if we see what we should I can relax a bit. We did tell our DDs last night - we figured if things don't go well we would have to tell them anyway. I really hope we don't have to tell them bad news again - the younger one still gets sad from the last one.

Have a great weekend everyone!

GO PACK GO!
