Still Stimming....

11 days of stimming down..... ? to go.... This is taking FOREVER this time. Hopefully good things come to those who wait. My lead follicle is only 13.5mm. ER should be at the earliest- Saturday. I am now on cetrotide in the AM and 150iu of Menopur and 300iu of Follistim. Plus my dexamethasone. Um, wake up ovaries!

Painting the Family Room

So a little something non-IVF related first. Before and After pictures of our living room painted. I love the darker color SO much better. Now we just have to add some crown molding and we'll be set. The crown molding will hopefully cover all of the paint I got on the ceiling....OPPS!

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Ehh the after pictures look dark. Different time of day I suppose but I assure you it looks MUCH better now. Not like a baby boys room.

Bring on IVF #2!!!

FINALLY, I took my last birth control pill last night. (Shhh....I only took 1/2 of it. Well more like 3/4. I want my period to start!!) Hopefully now I don't have to wait long for my period to start. I go in on Friday morning for a baseline and bloodwork. Hopefully starting stims that night. I also have an acupuncture appointment on Saturday morning. My meds were delivered yesterday and holy moly there is A LOT. Much more then last time. My meds are currently occupying the entire bottom shelf of our refridgerator. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let the 2nd time be the charm!

Proven Otherwise

Well I was pregnant until proven otherwise and yesterday I was proven otherwise. My line seemed lighter yesterday and I just knew it in my heart. I am at peace with this cycle. I want it to be over so I can start fresh. My level yesterday was 11 and as I am obviously devastated, I am so relieved that I don't have to face another ectopic pregnancy. So it seems as though this road to baby has a few more twists and turns up ahead for us.

Limbo Land- confirmed.

Well it is confirmed that I will be staying in limbo land for a bit longer. Yesterday was my beta and it came back at 21.5. Pregnant, but not very pregnant. I am praying for my baby. I cannot believe we made it this far and now this. I fear that Baby is not okay. I fear that Baby is in my tube. I fear that Baby will not make it to us. My estrogen level was only 21. It was 700 at my CD21 bloodwork. They have me on estrace 2x/day now. I hope this helps Baby grow strong. I don't know what to think right now. I asked what the low estrogen could mean. They told me I may have poor egg quality. I don't know what that means for this Baby or for any future babies but I don't like the sound of it.
