Provera/Savings

Well on Sunday (Mother's Day) I had to take another pg test, which came back negative. So I called in my rx to Walgreens and started the Medroxyprogesterone (generic for Provera). I am on day 4 of the pills. I have 6 more days to go. I am excited for my cycle to start because we are starting the Repronex Injectables this month. Im kinda nervous because of the percentage bracket we are in for multiples but at the same time I am excited because if I end up with multiples it is because that was God's plan for Tim and I.



We have been saving loose change in a jar for a little while now for "if" and "when" we get pregnant. That will be the start of our childs/ren college fund. There isnt much in there right now (only about $16) but considering it is loose change it isnt expected to be very high. Hehe



So we are keeping our heads up high and staying positive that this month may be the month!! We have decided not to reveal any blood results about this cycle until the Doctor gives a definite Yes or No. So just keep checking back!!! And as always keep praying with us!!



God Bless All Of Our Friends!!

Final Results!!!

Well the final results are in!! My hcg dropped to 4. They said it could still be to early to tell and for me to test on day 28, which is Mother's Day. If it is a negative I will start the Provera on Monday to start my cycle then we will do Repronex injectables on days 3-7.

So I haven't decided to give up yet. I am going to keep trying. I have cried today but I have to stay positive. It has only been 8 days since the IUI. So it could still come out positive.

I know God hears prayers so I will just keep praying.

4 Positives

WOW!!! We had 4 positive pg tests this weekend. 2 on Saturday evening, 1 Sunday, 1 Monday. I had blood work done on Monday to check my progesterone level and to see where my HCG level was. The results for that day are as follows:

Progesterone level is 23.8 (normal is 15), they said that is GREAT (especially because I don't normally produce hardly any progesterone at all without the aide of meds) and my HCG level is 12. My HCG level has to go up 50-66% for it to be positive!!

I had more blood work done today and we will know the results on Thursday. I have put a lot of faith in God to see that my tests come back positive. I have prayed so much the past few days its not funny. We have waited for this day for soooo long. So I will continue to pray that my HCG level has gone up (because that means I'm pregnant).

Anyone reading this......please pray with me!!!

I will update when the final results are in!!!

IUI

So here goes for this week. I didnt see a surge over the weekend so I went to see Dr. Conrad on Monday April 28th. He did another u/s and my follicles had grown. The previous week there were 5 (7,7,10,12,13). On Monday there were 4 (15,16,16,22) so he gave me an HCG shot and on Tuesday the 29th we had our IUI!!! Today I am having cramps (kinda like period cramps) and THEY HURT!!! I called the dr. office to see if this is normal and I am currently waiting on a call back from them to see. I am patiently waiting out the 2 week wait. We will find out on May 16th if I am pregnant. ~~KEEPING FINGERS CROSSED~~ Will update then!!!

I HATE PCOS!!!

I took the clomid on days 3-7 and went to the Dr on Cd10 for my u/s. I had 5 follicles (7,7,10,12,13). The dr was not thrilled at all. He said for me to do OPK from Thursday until Monday and if I ovulate between then he will do the IUI over the weekend. But if I don't ovulate by Monday he is going to send me for a follicle study. I have taken 3 opk's so far and all have a faint blue line but it has to be dark double lines. I am so tired of trying to get pregnant. I am about ready to call it quits again. I guess we have to wait until Monday to see for sure what is going to happen. I will just keep praying. I am supposed to start the Repronex Injectables next month if I don't ovulate this month or have a successful IUI. So we will see what happens!!

SOOOOO FRUSTRATED!!!!!

Clomid AGAIN!!!

I started my cycle on April 14th and was THRILLED!!!! I called Dr. Conrad and he told me I needed to come in on cd3 for and ultrasound so we can get started on the Clomid again with the Metformin. I started the Clomid and took it on cd3-7. Today is cd8. I go on cd10 (wed 4-23 @ 8:45) for an ultrasound to see if the Clomid produced good sized follicules and depending on the outcome of the u/s we will do an IUI. I am trying my best not to get my hopes up but I want this so badly. The Clomid has made me real sick this time. I dont think I will be able to do another month of the Clomid. If it doesnt work this time we will have to go to the Injectables!!! So I will keep everyone posted!!!



Check back the end of the week for an UPDATE!!!

Awaiting My Cycle

Ok so I am supposed to start my period on Saturday April 5th. Im hoping it will start thursday so I can go to the doctor on Friday for an ultrasound or I hope it waits until Monday so I can go on Tuesday. I have to have an ultrasound done so I can start the Repronex injections. We are excited about starting to try to conceive again. I know the risk of mulitiples with the Repronex is extremely high (80% chance of 3+) but we have been trying for 2 years now and with the PCOS it is impossible to do it without the fertility drugs. I hope the repronex works on the first IUI so we dont have to go through more. I HATE needles. But anyway. I just needed to vent because I am sooo nervous. Thanks for reading!!!
