Retrieval set for Thursday

I'm still not responding great but I have 2 and may be 3 follicles. The chances are not great but nothing is too hard for God. We are praying for God's will. I go in at 8:15 on Thursday for retrieval. I pray we can at least transfer 1.

Still on shots

I went Tuesday for another ultrasound and more blood work. My e2 went to 134 which isn't great. I had 2 maybe 3 follicles which isn't great.

My RE decided since IVF is covered by insurance then we should go ahead and try with what we have. I'm still on the shots.

I go back to RE for more blood work and another ultrasound on Friday (4/18).

I'm still praying and believing for a miracle!

More bad news.

More bad news today. My right ovary is not responding. My left ovary is responding but not enough to do IVF. My two options were to cancel the IVF or give 2 more days. I've decided to do 2 more days and see what happens. If we do not do IVF this cycle, we will try IUI.

I am incredibly sad. I was hoping for more follicles. I go back Tuesday morning for bloodwork and ultrasound again.

Very Sad :(

I received bad news on Wednesday. I found out my body is not responding to the medicine. I was devastated and heart broken. My RE has increased my follistim to 300 am & pm, and added Menopur 75 once in the evening. Yvonne (IVF Coordinator) was so sweet. She even cried when the dr told her my bad news.

I go back to the RE on Sunday at 7:45 to see if my body is responding now. I was told to prepare for the RE to cancel my IVF.

I am thanking God for the trial and praising God for the miracle & blessing!

Mock Transfer and First shot

I went this morning for the ultrasound and E2 bloodwork. The ultrasound looked great. No signs of cysts. While waiting for my mock transfer under anesthesia, the IVF coordinator came in and said blood work looked great.

I then had the mock transfer done. I was a nervous wreck. I was shaking uncontrollably and very cold. My mom and I stressed to the anesthesiologists that I have a sensitive stomach to anesthetic and he loaded me up with anti-nauseas medicine. Thankfully, I did not get sick! The drs dilated my cervix and opened wide enough so in several weeks when I have my transfer it won't close back up so quick (hopefully).

I am so thankful for my mom taking me since my husband had to work. I sure missed my husband though.

At 6:00 tonight, my husband gave me my first micro-dose lupron shot. He did great! He is nervous that he's going to hurt me. I told him though I don't trust anyone but him to give me the shots.

Thank you to Jesus for great bloodwork, ultrasound and mock transfer!

Mock Transfer set for 4/2

I'm having my mock transfer tomorrow under anesthesia. The doctors will dilate my cervix.

I'm also having my baseline E2 bloodwork and ultrasound done. My husband has to work so my mother will be taking me.

My baby brother, Jerry, came home last week and we were able to meet his girlfriend. We had so much fun and it was so great to see Jerry again. I think it did my Mom and Dad alot of good to see him and meet his girlfriend. We really liked her. She was so friendly and very easy to talk to.

Here's a picture of my mom, Jerry, and me:
