Disappointed

CD 13 mid-cycle check was not good. I had lots and lots of follies but none big enough. Dr. S said that they were going to give me a shot in their office that day and then I’d have to have another shot (all of Bravelle) the next evening. And to come back on Thursday (Thanksgiving) to get checked again.

We did the shots. Went back on Thursday. My 2 follies with the most potential, they measured 10mm on CD 13, actually shrunk! Now one was 8mm and the other 9mm. IUI#4 is now officially canceled.

Dr. S prescribed me Provera 10mg for 7 days so I can shed all of my lining. Apparently my ovaries don’t like the Clomid and Bravelle combo. They’re high maintenance and can only have one or the other, not both at the same time.

New Game Plan:
Take Provera 10mg for 7 days. AF comes 2-4 days after last pill. Start injects on CD3-7. CD 8 have bloodwork and ovary check and we’ll go on from there. Bravelle is costing us an arm and a leg, even with my insurances help. But we can only do a couple more rounds of Clomid because of the lifetime max, IF we decide to go back to Clomid because we know it works and my ovaries LOVE it.

Ugh! I’m disappointed to say the least. Northern Starr has been really sympathetic. He knows there’s nothing he could do to help me with it. I’m more disappointed now because of canceling the IUI than I was when I found out IUI#3 didn’t work. All that medicine and time, wasted. Come on uterus, get pregnant!

Correction

Ovidrel is my trigger shot. Tonight Northern Starr has to give me the inject of Bravelle.

I understand that you just love being a mom and you keep posting pictures of your precious little ones on Facebook. Those are so totally adorable but to be honest it ALWAYS stings a little when I see them. Even on my good days it stings. But that's not what I'm complaining about. What I am complaining about is why the F do you have to post pictures of your baby bump from when you were pregnant with your precious angels?!?! Just because you love the way you looked pregnant. Give me a break! It's over with, done. Look at your bump pictures on your phone or what you already posted on FB and Instagram from when you were pregnant. There is no damn need to repost it!!!
Rant over.
