..AF & BW/US appointment..

It's me, I'm still alive.  There hasn't been a whole lot to update on since we had been waiting for our new insurance to kick in.  Well, we are now fully insured again and we have infertility coverage that is a-MAZING!!!!  A lot has been discussed and decided between the hubs and I these past few months.  Being told that our best chance at conceiving was through Donor Egg IVF, we didn't put much thought into given my body another try.  Well, finding out my IVF coverage does NOT cover Donor, but covers 4 IVF cycles, we decided to give my body another try as long as our RE thinks it's worth a shot.  He gave us a 20% chance of conceiving with my eggs, so to me, 20% is better than a 0% chance!

AF showed up yesterday for the third month in a row on her own.  She showed up exactly 28 days from my last cycle.  Crazy that it's so regular now but yet my body doesn't work? Go figure.  I called my RE yesterday and spoke to my nurse.  I told her that we wanted to discuss the option of IVF with my eggs before proceeding on with Donor, so on Monday I am going in for CD3 BW/US to see how my hormone levels are and what my ovary looks likes.  He will then be able to base his decision off what he sees.  I've also been experiencing the endo pains again!  It seems like every year around this time it starts to get bad and I end up having surgery.  I really don't want surgery again so soon.  My only concern is, DH and I have decided to post-pone doing an IVF cycle until after we have bought a house which we are in the process of doing.  He wants to be established first (I understand this, but I'm not happy about it) so if we do decide to use my eggs, the longer we wait, the more my endo has the chance to make things even worse to where we could loose this chance.  I'm not making any decisions until I speak with my RE.  If we are indeed waiting a few months to start the next IVF cycle, I can't just let the endo go, I have to go on some type of treatment to prevent it from growing....NO LUPRON again...I don't care how well it worked, it was awful and I'm never doing it again.  So we have some decisions to make.

I have an appointment with my OBGYN on Wednesday for another follow up pap from my cryo surgery last May.  Crossing my fingers for a normal pap!  I also want to discuss my pain with her since she has been the one treating my endo since the beginning.  I will see what my RE says and then what she thinks and go from there.  I'm getting really sick of all this waiting.  Everybody that I started my IVF journey with all have babies now!  I think it's my turn next right?  I think so.  Adoption is still an option. "Just need the house first"!  So we are hoping to be in a house by Spring and then start an IVF cycle soon after.  I'm hoping my RE says it's best to try now because of how bad my endo is and how fast things are progressing.  But this doesn't mean that DH will go for it!  He's really hot and cold on this subject now and it's really frustrating.  You either want a baby or ya don't!  Which one is it buddy?  You should see him with niece....he's ridiculously in LOVE with HER!  I think he just needs to hear it from the DR that NOW is the best chance!  We'll see.

So, Monday at 7:30 AM is my BW/US and Wednesday at 12:15 PM is my appointment with my OBGYN.  I will post an update on Monday or Tuesday from Monday's appointment and then one for Wed's appointment hopefully that night.  No guarantees though, sorry!  I'm in school and it's kicking my butt!

I hope everyone is don't well!  Lots of BFP's out there....CONGRATS to all you ladies!:)

Have a great rest of the weekend!
