FOLLICLES & Masses

Sorry for the sidewards pics. I went to the u/s and the negative news, of which I WILL NOT stress about until the dr says so is there is another mass in my uterus. Polyp or Fibroid IDK most likey polyp. I am waiting to hear if it affects me or the cycle. I have had 2 DNCs because of US like this and this one is double the size. Every time i start meds they grow like crazy.

On a Positive note... I had 14 measurable follicles from 12-21 ranging. YAY!!!!! I so hope this cycle isnt affected by the growth in my ute. But I also hope the embryos arent affected my it either when transfered.

These are the Whoppers!!!

1st night of stims!

One down, probably 5-8 more to go. Mixing all the meds (menopur, lupron, follistim) is a pain and I felt like I was doing it wrong even though I know I wasn't.
My BFF had us over for a little birthday celebration for the DH. So sweet of her to do that for him, and for getting icecream cake for the IFers cycle LOL.

I had DH give me the first injection because the needles like twice the size as the one I have been using. It BURNS...it felt weird like there was sooo much med and it was pushing my insides out of the way to dig in. And probly TMI but I had wiked gas pain tonight (which I get during treatments) and it hurts so much like my ute and ovaries are alredy a bit swollen and sensative and the gas pushes against them and it really hurts bad.

So glad to have day one out of the way and be stimming finally. Now appointments until our first monitoring thursday. I will be usuing my visualization techniques I used when I got pregnant with Kayden. Tonight I will just picture my meds making there wat to me lady bits.

Baby Hopes had her first stims today too!!! So glad to have a cycle buddy!!!
Pray with us that this cycle gives us our BFP!!!!!

OUCH!!!

Okay, maybe I was over thinking it tonight or maybe my belly was just sore but tonights Lupron injection HURT and bled. I didnt do it quick so I had to like push it through the skin Owwwwiiieee. Needless to say I think I need a break so Jason will be giving me my shot tommorow night. I am however excited that Sunday night will be my last bc pill...I am praying my period does a magic trick and comes on its own. Your prayers are welcome too!!! And if you are so inclined you could through in a "I hope this cycle gets this crazy infertile pregnant" prayer too!!! Hahahha

Is it April...I couldn't tell....

Everything had been melting away. We had a few nice sunny cool but warmer than usual days. I had the dogs out on their runners which we all have desperately needed. Then I wake up on the first day of April and we have a Nor'easter...Not the Easter I would have liked to have this month. Grrrr. Worst part I lost power too. So I cleaned the house...picked up...waiting for the power to come back on because I have to work at three. Luckily I work at a Hotel so I was able to head in and shower at work before work...but to top everything off I had my work clothes (bra included) in the wash when the power went out! So I had to come real early to make sure they had time to dry here before my shift. So now I am eating lunch in a guest room waiting for them to dry. Then HI HO HI HO its off to work I go. I truly hope this is the last snow of the season. I NEED SUN and HEAT. On IVF news... I start Lupron on the 11th!!!!!! AHHHHHH I am so pumped!

Consents

My husband has had a few days off. It has been so nice after 3 weeks in a row of him working 70+ hrs. (which we completely appreciate income wise) It was the first day we really spent quality time with eachother. And he has tommorow off with me as well to go to our Boston IVF appointment to sign consents and get meds ordered. That is such an amazing thing to realize.

We are actually about to start an IVF cycle. A cycle that has good odds (although we know how those workout for us) I am trying to be really positive. Imagine every good step all the way through implantation. ALL i can think about is...could this be our sticky cycle?
