I've started getting more and more questions about my blog that I realized that it's been over a month since my last post. A lot has happened...
First off, I am not pregnant...yet. I thought that I would get that out in the beginning. Secondly, I'd like to let you know the background of this how adventure so far...
**For those that have never gone though this process I'd like to inform
you as to what goes on. (at least for me so far) You go in for your
baseline ultrasound before day 3 of your period. You get put on an
ovulation drug that you take for days 3-7 of your cycle. At around day
13 (or sooner if your ovulation kit indicates jackpot) for a mid cycle
ultrasound. At this time they give you a shot in the bum. At this time
you have a 3 day window to do the deed to maximize conception. A week
after the shot you get blood drawn to check progesterone levels. If
they are not high enough you get put on straight progesterone until you
are pregnant, at which time you stay on the pills through your first
trimester, or you start your period and the whole process repeats
itself.**
Right now I am on round three of meds. I am no longer on Clomid as an ovulation drug. When I went in for my mid cycle ultrasound last month I really didn't have any good follicles. That was a huge disappointment. I figure since I'm on all these drugs that it should be doing something right??? Also, my progesterone levels were low so I was on straight hormones for a couple weeks. My poor husband has had to deal with my moods and it really hasn't been pretty. The new drug that had me on for this cycle made me really angry for some reason. That was not fun.
I go in for my mid cycle ultrasound this Friday. I'm hoping this new drug will show some more promise. Also, I still haven't shown any good follicles in my left ovary. I'm wondering if this is part of the reason that we haven't been able to get preggers in the past.... I promise to be better about updating. I got burned out on the holiday's and everyone coming up pregnant.
I apologize on the randomness of this update, but it's all I got right now. On a side note, I'd like to give a shout out to my doc. He went in on New Year's Day to do a baseline ultrasound for me.
