Hi everyone! Wow, I feel like it has been forever since I have done an update. Not much has been going on, we have just been waiting around for our new insurance to become effective (01/01/16) to begin a new cycle. We officially started our IVF cycle last Sunday! I doubt I will be so detailed with blogging this time around, just because I feel like it is exhausting and redundant for those that have been following since 2011.. BUT I will be posting the important stuff (egg retrieval, transfer, etc.) Right now I am taking birth control and getting ready to start the lupron on 01/25.. then our suppression check will be on February 2nd (Happy birthday Will!! lol) From there we will start stimulating and go for a ton of bloodwork and ultrasounds, and finally my egg retrieval is scheduled for the week of 02/15 (Happy Valentine's Day!) I feel like I really skimmed over this huge process but, you all know this isn't my first rodeo. I am just praying this time we get our living baby!! OH, and the best news ever is that I don't have to take those awful intramuscular progesterone shots this time!! My nurse said that because insurance covers meds, I can use a cream instead of the shots. Will had to give me those terrible, awful, no good very bad (teacher moment) shots for like 13 weeks with the girls, so needless to say he is about as excited as I am about this.
Sidebar~ Thank you to EVERYONE who comments their support on my blog! I literally had NO idea people were even commenting until I went back and re-read my last post to see where I left off. I was like "wait what? 4 comments?!" Honestly, this is an outlet for me, I really just type whatever comes to my brain at the moment, post it, and go on with life. I never go back and re-read so, I am sorry to anyone who has asked questions or showed love on my posts, I promise I am not ignoring you! I'm not a very good blogger, haha! I will try to do better from now on.
So, there you have it folks!! IVF- take 3!! Please please pray for us <3 <3
I was actually just thinking about you since you got the TAC!! I had my scheduled and then last minute chickend out and decided to transfer 1 and go with a vaginal cerclage if it works. I'm jealous of no PIOs for you but how great!!! Come on Jesus!!
ReplyDeleteYay for no PIOs!! I don't blame you for trying a TVC first.. the TAC was a pretty major surgery and it was dang expensive too because insurance didn't pay a dime. When is your transfer?
DeleteYay!!!! It's finally here!! I'm so excited for you starting this journey.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!
DeleteYay Tifani! That's great news!
