Hi everyone!!!
Today was my appointment with our new RE to discuss IVF#2! It went wonderful. Deep down I knew there was going to be more waiting, but I was so hoping we would be able to start right away (the week we got back from vacation 7/19th). I was sooooo wrong. Let me just get right to it.
I was greeted by the front desk staff who were so sweet! Plus #1. I saw my Dr and we talked for about 40 mins or so. He went over my medical records from my previous clinic and my OB records. He wanted to understand my history. He then asked when my last lupron shot was! Umm, last Wednesday!:( He said that we need to allow time for my body to get rid of the lupron so that I can get my period. He said expect it by the end of July beginning of August. Then on CD1, give us a call and schedule your CD3 bw/us. He wasn't me to also repeat the HSG between CD5-10, have my DH give another semen analysis and schedule a follow up with him two weeks after AF starts. This is when he will have had the chance to look at and review everything to make his determination on whcih protocol to use and we will be on our way to starting stims. He is suggesting the Lupron Stop protocol. Not as many days of lupron and once period starts, then stop the lupron and go straight into stims. I can't believe I have to wait some more!!!!! I knew I would. I just want this now so bad. So we will be doing this cycle around the same time as the last Aug/Sept. This is kinda hard for me. I don't want another disappointment. But I feel great with my new RE and I have confidence in him that he will get me pregnant very soon.
He has concerns about my premature ovarian reserve. We know that in having this, you produce fewer eggs of not so good quality.. He is going to do test that will count how many eggs I have so we can get a better idea of how bad it really is (it's a blood test but I can't remember the name). He said if I were 41, he would def recommend donor eggs. But since I'm only 31 he really wants to give my eggs a chance. The fertilization report from my first cycle is what concerns him. 9 eggs, out of the 9 only 5 were mature, only 2 fertilized and only one survived. But, we are going to give it a try and go from here. Last time I had a leading follicle that was way too big to use and he wants to avoid this situation again. The lupron stop protocol helps the follicles all grow at about the same time and roughly the same size. I had follicles last time ranging in the 14-18 range and one that was almost 30mm.
There are only 2 Dr's in this office. If I don't see him, I will see the other dr not like 10 others. I won't feel like a number. He says that he likes to do his patients ER/ET but there are times when it just doesn't work out. So this made me happy. All procedures will happen in the Rockville, MD office.
So now I have more time to focus on body, staying stress free and enjoy my summer. I can't wait for my period to start. Never thought I would say this haha. I'm thinking it's going to be a Sept ET again with the hopes of a June baby!:-)
I feel like I"m forgetting something.
Thanks for all your support! Means a lot to me!
Now I have a new countdown to look forward too!
Happy 4th!!!!
Much Love,
Lauren

..Tomorrow is the BiG DaY..
Sorry about the lack of posts. I can't post blogs at work anymore and that's where I write the most. So, I tend to forget to email myself my saved post(in a word document) to myself from my work computer so I can then post when I get home. But, better late than never right?
Soooooooooo, tomorrow is the BiG Day - My IVF#2 appointment with our new RE! I'm so excited but yet so nervous. I've had an upset tummy all day and I know it's my nervous getting the best of me. I just can't wait to find out all the details and when my cycle will actually be starting. My new insurance kicked in today so let's see how this goes this time around. I called Anthem today to ask them a question about my benefits. I wanted to know if my prescription drug plan through Express Scripts would require me to order my meds through them and not a speciality pharmacy. My 1st IVF my insurance would not allow me to order through a speciality pharmacy to get the discounted price and I payed $10,000 for my meds (well insurance did but this was taken out of my $12,500 lifetime maximum). I refuse to pay this much again when I could have gotten them for half the price. The rep said we can order them through whoever but that we have to pay for them out-of-pocket and submit a claim to be reimbursed! Are you serious? We don't have $$$$ just laying around right now. If this is the case, I have no idea how we will pay for them. This worries me. But, it will all work out and I just have to relax and take it one day at a time.
My appointment is tomorrow at 12:30. I will post an update as soon as I can. I've also started a youtube TTC Vlog (trying to conceive video blog) that I will be doing videos throughout my IVF journey.
You can find me at: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=toosassy1979#p/u/0/ExI_gz2L-JU
Please excuse my look, I had a killer headache and I was trying to do the video before my husband got home so he wouldn't make fun of me and make me nervous haha. I'm hoping to post a video on how my appointment went. I'm going to try my best!:)
I need to get some sleep so I'm at my 100% tomorrow and can focus on everything the Dr says since I've been forgetting things lately.
Thanks again for your continued support!
More to update soon!
God Bless,
Lauren

..COUNTDOWN IS ONNNNNNNN..
The countdown is on....
There are only 10 days left till our appointment with our new RE for IVF#2!!!!!!!!!
I never thought this day would come. I've been waiting for this day for a very long 9 months. After a failed IVF last September, I really thought that God had a different plan for our lives. I couldn't see the other possibilities. My brain was so foggy that I couldn't see beyond the fog. After some time had passed and I was able to see clearly again, I figured out plan b. My DH wasn't really on the same page as me. He had no thoughts of when we do another IVF again. I would ask him when he would be ready and he said he didn't know. This was very hard for me to hear. I was so ready to try again and I felt alone in my decision making. I tried to switch our health insurance, but our circumstances weren't a worthy enough cause to be able to change. Annual enrollment is every June. That was 9 months away. I knew I could chance and have full infertility coverage again. I held onto this thought. I had already made my decision that we would start our next IVF cycle in July 2010 even with my DH being against it. I had to look forward to something. I knew we couldn't afford to pay out-of-pocket so this was my only hope.
Well, plan b is about to become a reality. July 2nd is our appointment and I couldn't be more excited. I'm feeling really good about this cycle and have faith that God will answer our prayers.
Due to going on vacation the 2nd week of July, I most likely won't be starting until the week of the 19th. My cycle is already suppressed so I'm not sure if I will go straight into stims or if I will have to take BCPs to get AF to start. I don't get AF becaues of my 1x a month Lupron Depot shot. A typical cycle with my new fertility clinic, they start you on BCPs to suppress your cycle so they can control it, then about 2 weeks in start you on daily lupron shots and then stop BCPs to get AF to start to start stims. I've heard that woman who are in my situation have gone straight into stims as long as there uterine lining was thin enough. I can't start while on vacation because of all the appointments. If I'm starting with BCPs/lupron then I can which I'm kinda hoping for. I want to at least start something. Waiting till after vacation feels like forever.
My last 1x a month lupron shot is this Wednesday along with my follow-up from my sonogram from last Wednesday. The pain is still there so I'm really curious if it's the endo growing back since they saw no cysts.
Were so much closer to our dream coming true. The thought that I could have our little miracle growing inside my belly by July/August puts the hugest smile on my face. DH is so on board. He's ready and he can't wait to be a daddy. Seeing him with our niece is the most amazing thing for me. He just melts when he sees her. He is going to melt when he has one of his own!:) I just love him!xoxo

..It's been awhile..
It's been awhile since my last post. Sorry for being gone so long. Things have been pretty hectic for us lately. We recently just bought a house and it took up most of nights for the past three weeks. But it was so worth it! In my last post I talked about the after effects from my cryo surgery. A lot has happened since then.
That Friday after my cryo I started bleeding. It was very heavy and it did not stop until the following Friday. It was very annoying since I can't wear tampons anymore. I've worn more pads these past few months that I ever have. 5-6 days of pads is not bad, but 2 weeks+ really irritates the inside of my thighs. Really sucks. These 7 days of wearing pads irritated the heck out of my skin and thankfully it soon stopped. That Monday when I got into bed, my lower back and kidneys started hurting. Wasn't sure what it was from and then I started to get those sharp shooting pains in my ovary area like I always do when I have an endo flare up. They didn't go away so I took some prescription motrin and it seemed to help. The pains were consistent and I woke up with them. I made an appointment with my OBGYN for that Thursday to get checked out. She did an internal exam, said my cervix looked great from my cryo but that she didn't feel any cysts. This didn't mean that they weren't there. She gave me an order to go get a sonogram to get things checked out. Up until my appointment I still was having the same pains. My sonogram was this past Wednesday and good news is they didn't see any cysts! Whoo Hoo!!!! The Radiologist said the pains could be from either car tissue or adhesion's. My Dr also said that it could be the endo growing back because Lupron isn't perfect. I have my follow up with my OB on the 23rd to discuss what to do if anything. I"m not too worried since there are no cysts. But if the endo is back, I'm not sure what will happen. We have only 15 more days till our appointment with our new RE and we don't want anything to set us back from starting IVF next month.
I'm feeling better. Still have the pains here and there. But not as bad. I have my last Lupron shot the 23rd and this is one more step closer to our baby. Not sure if I will Lupron this next IVF cycle. My old RE said she wanted to do the micro dose lupron cycle this time so we'll see if my new RE suggests the same. I'm counting down the days. I feel really good about things this time. Still feeling positive and trusting in the Lord and His will for our lives.
Diet is going ok. I've been having a lot of sweets temptations lately and soda. I gave in for awhile, but have now stopped. It's been hard, but I know it's for the best. I want my body as healthy as possible to welcome our baby this time. Now we have a house to bring our baby home to and everything feels like it's all coming together so perfectly. I couldn't be happier.
I recently just finished a really great book called "Making Babies". It really helped me see the big picture and how important it is to have a healthy body when trying to conceive. It had a lot of great advice and tips that I'm not incorporating into my daily routine. As hard as it was to go through a BFN, it taught me a lot and I know what to expect this go around. I won't be in the dark and wonder an worry what everything means. I'm sure I'll have questions, but I'm so thankful I know how the process works. I have people I can talk to and trust who are going through what I'm going through.
Congratulations to all my DS friends who had their babies this month! I'm so happy for you all!:)
Hope everyone is doing well.
Thanks,
Lauren

..HELLO WaTeR..
Hey there....
Haven't felt like posting much lately. Maybe because I haven't had the chance to be consistant with my exercising so there really isn't anything new to update. I'm still doing good. The house hunt has taken up all of our free time(not a bad thing). But the diet is still going good. I also picked up a couple of books to read to help me get through this journey. So far, I'm very happy with my choices. If you are interested in the books I am reading, here they below:
Reason for my post:
I had my Cryo surgery yesterday. I was told that I would have mild discharge/leakage. Ok, nothing a little panty liner can't handle. Oh boy, was I wrong. I went to bed last night just very wet down there like slippery CM. Then I woke up this morning and thought I peed myself. I went to the bathroom and pulled my pants down to find my underwear completely soaked through and my pants soaked in that area! Didn't smell like pee, but what else could it have been. I showered, changed into my normal thong for the day to seconds later soaking them. I had to put the granny panties back on and use a pad..a pad..no panty liner. Of course when I got to work I googled it. Call me Mrs. Web MD. From what I understand, it's very normal. It's the dead cells leaking out. The discharge can be heavy and watery like. So I did not pee myself! haha No smell. Just feels like I'm peeing in my pants. Not the greatest feeling...but it's better than blood.
I feel much better today. Only a few cramps here and there. My cervix has to heal before any fun can take place...not happy about this one. But, it's not like we are trying to make a baby naturally so it doesn't bother us so much. Lupron definitely affects your libido!=( No bueno!!!!
I would like to give a shout to say congrats to some of my wonderful DS friends:
*Congrats Bethlehambaby on your BFP!!!
Truly a miracle!
*Congrats Mamijo on your BFP and your doubling beta #'s!
*Congrats on your baby boy Suzannelin!
*Nicolerb yay for your natural BFP!
*Jessi2bamommy congrats on your little boy!
He's adorable.
Looking forward to many more BFP's and births this month! This would have been our month if we would have gotten a BFP last Septemeber. Always thought it was a little girl! She would have made her grand appearance sometime in June. Hopefully next year we will be holding our little girl!

..1 month & Cryo Surgery..
One month from today I will be sitting in my new RE's office preparing for IVF#2! It's finally just around the corner. I have been waiting for this day for so long that it doesn't feel real. Hubby is so on board this time and this has been huge for me. I don't feel so alone. I was always so afraid to ask what he was feeling. He finally told me that having a baby is more important than a house and more important than anything else in this world! WOW was I shocked when I heard these words come out of his mouth. We're so close to having our baby! Praying this is God's will and that we accept whatever he brings to us.
Cryo Surgery was today to remove precancerous cells from my cervix. This is my 2nd one and this time hurt like HELL! I'm dry from the Lupron so I tore when she put the speculum in(ouch) and then they take this gun looking thing that shoots out the stuff to freeze your cervix and hold it on your cervix for a very long five minutes...horrible, awful never want to experience this pain again. I had intense cramping that I had to endure for the 5 minutes. Thankfully, I'm comfortable talking with my Dr when she's down yonder and she started talking to me and this helped distract the pain. My Dr is so awesome I just love her! I layed there after for about 5 minutes thinking I was gonna pass out the cramping was so bad. My face was beat red(no joke) and I hurt coming out of her office and I still have cramping....just not as bad thank God! She did a pap smear before to see if there was any more growth of the bad cells and I will be rechecked on 9/2/2010. There is a 20% it will occur again. I'm hoping it doesn't. So I can cross this of my list! Yay!!!!
Things are good. I'm really busy and finding it hard to find time to exercise. We are in the process of buying house so pretty much any free night we have, we are looking at houses with our realtor. It's fun, but draining. We are so eager to find a house! Bringing home a baby to a HOUSE and not an APARTMENT is where we want to be. I'm confident this will happen soon we just have to be patient. Patient...what's that?
My mood is a bit better. My Dr took me off birth control(was suppose to help with the side effects from the Lupron shot) to get ready for July when we start the fertility treatments(IVF). She said if things get too bad to where I can handle myself, she'll put a call into my RE's office and see what can be done in the meantime. Hoping things don't get any worse. If the mood gets worse, it's gonna be a long month and a half.
Looking forward to the summer! Lots of exciting things happening!
CA in July, IVF in July and moving into a new house!=)
Hope everyone is doing well!
****Baby dust to all****

Things are good. I'm really busy and finding it hard to find time to exercise. We are in the process of buying house so pretty much any free night we have, we are looking at houses with our realtor. It's fun, but draining. We are so eager to find a house! Bringing home a baby to a HOUSE and not an APARTMENT is where we want to be. I'm confident this will happen soon we just have to be patient. Patient...what's that?
My mood is a bit better. My Dr took me off birth control(was suppose to help with the side effects from the Lupron shot) to get ready for July when we start the fertility treatments(IVF). She said if things get too bad to where I can handle myself, she'll put a call into my RE's office and see what can be done in the meantime. Hoping things don't get any worse. If the mood gets worse, it's gonna be a long month and a half.
Looking forward to the summer! Lots of exciting things happening!
CA in July, IVF in July and moving into a new house!=)
Hope everyone is doing well!
****Baby dust to all****
