Journey Update

February 27, 2008

Ok, so I had my first re apt today. As some know, we have secondary unexplained infertility. On cycle 19 currently. We will be doing a critical sa for dh..then starting a combo of clomid 100mg cd 3-7 mixed with some injectables (follistim 75 iu) and hcg shot with iui 36 hrs later.

Gosh this all seems so overwhelming..so if anyone has advice, it would be much appreciated!

My re is big on not over stimulating...guess thats why we are doing clomid w/ injectables instead of injectables alone.

Babydust to all!

February 27, 2008

would you be more over stimulating with clomid AND injectables?

You ovulate on your own right kelli?

Glad to hear you are moving forward!! Very exciting news, so happy for you and DH!!!

February 27, 2008

I guess not, Chels..he's really worried about overstimulation..and this is what he wanted to do.

Yep I do o on my own.

Thanks, girl!

February 27, 2008

Oh, just to add to my post..my re told me one of my eggs while I was still seeing regular ob was 25 in size! That is huge. So we are trying the clomid cd 3-7 instead of 5-9 and they will be watching soo much closer and doing hcg shot when they are ready!

February 27, 2008

my doc had said something about eggs that are past their prime and too big too..... i am sooo looking forward to you getting preggo this time around!!

February 27, 2008

February 27, 2008

Im soo excited for you sweetie!!

Cant wait to hear the journey!!

February 27, 2008

They will start me on cd 8 on the injectables (follistim)...clomid would be cd 3-7. I'm due for af on Monday..... :) maybe she won't show!

Thanks Kanetra & Jolene!

February 27, 2008

we'll see - hubby wants to do IVF with next cycle so we prob will. I want there to be an end to all of this so i will prob do the IVF right away, however, im just hoping we get preggo with 5 babies on our own this month - LOL!

February 27, 2008

WOW...Chelsha,

I'm happy you are gonna try again!!! WOO HOO

February 28, 2008

Chelsea & Aching..just curious what your docs said your success rates were w/ ivf...my doc said rough estimate for us would be 60%.....

How awesome would it be if I were prego right now and never had to do inj or ivf!? My chart's looking good..but God only knows that can play tricks on you...lol! :)

BFP dust Kelli, hopefully she wont show and you wont have to do all that :)

Wouldnt that be AWESOME!!!!

Love ya and BFP dust!!

February 28, 2008

Chart is looking good sweetie!!!!

February 28, 2008

Thanks Jolene!!!

Back at ya sister..and I sure hope you o very soon!

February 28, 2008

Thanks sweetie...me too, we will see. Its hard to wait because one part is like wait, and the other part is like if you cant get an ultrasound to see the follicles then start Prometrium Friday night. Such a HARD decision..haha.

BFP DUST!!!!

February 28, 2008

Sending you lots and lots and lots of BFP dust Kell!! We are here for you and I hope this new treatment does the trick for you!

February 28, 2008

Kelli- Your chart is looking GREAT! Hoping this is it for you!!

Jolene I was reading another post of yours, I def think you should ger an U/S to see your follicles..just isist on it...

Liane we are still sending you lots of prayers and relaxation vibes on your break from TTC!!

February 28, 2008

thanks caryn, im def. going to try and do that for sure. We will see what happens. All I can do is try again, and see what they say :)

February 28, 2008

Thats right, the worse they will say is "no" so then you take an HPT to be sure and if its (-) then you can start your meds...

February 28, 2008

Exactly.

I just wish they would let me come in and do it. Its my money that im paying full price for the ultrasound, since insurance doesnt cover it. So thats all going to there office. This just drives me nuts! I wish I could afford to go to an RE, but then again I do like my doctors office a lot.

Anyways I guess we will find out tomorrow and if they say no then I will start Prometrium tomorrow night - March9th, and then AF should come around March 12th, not to far away.

Im just concerned on my cough, and it hurting my ovaries, I have never had that before. It hurt bad yesterday, almost soo bad I was going to call my doctors office and say something is really wrong, but today its not bad at all, who knows whats going on. Maybe its knocking my eggs around and they will ovualte...haha. Wishful thinking :)

February 28, 2008

Thanks Caryn!

February 28, 2008

my doc says that the pregnancy rate for their office is between 50-75% but thats not "live birth rates" since they are a pretty new clinic they dont have that rate yet.

Its a pretty good success rate but i would assume they dont get higher each month like with IUI.

February 28, 2008

thanks sweetie, I guess I will see what happens. I really dont want to switch doctors, but if I have to I will, but I really dont want to. I really like them.

I will keep everyone posted :)

February 28, 2008

Good info, thanks Chelsea!

Good luck, with whatever you decide, Jolene...whatever it is..its the right decision and you'll be happy you did it! :) Best wishes!

Thanks Kelli :)
