Follicle scan update

My E2 levels went from 392 to 878! 
My lining is at 11.6mm! 
I go back for another appt tomorrow. 

I was comparing notes from my past cycles and my numbers are looking a lot better!

Grow Follies Grow!

My E2 levels(Estrogen levles) went from 109 to 392. My lining is at 6.2 mm and needs to be at least an 8. 

My right ovary:
14.4, 12.1, 12.0, 10.5, 9.6, 9.1, 7.1

My left ovary( is behind my uterus-Thanks to Endo) 
10.9,  7.9, 7.2, 7.0

I have another appt on Saturday. 

Follicle scan #!

Here is a small update of how our cycle is going so far: 
My doctor was doing a retrieval so my nurse did my u/s and she had issues getting to my left ovary since it is in an awkward area (Thanks to my endo)...anyway so I am not sure how many follicles I actually have. I have an appt on Thursday so I will know then. What I can see her counting I think I have about 12. My E2 levels came back at 109. I forgot to look at my lining. I stop Follistim and I will increase Menopur and keep doing Lupron. I will update again on Thursday. 

Suppression check number 2

Yesterday I had my suppression check and everything was great. My u/s was great and showed NO large cyst! Yay!! Then I had my blood-work and it came back normal. I was super excited since my last cycle I had issues suppressing. I start stims tomorrow! I have an appt next Tue., Thurs., and Sat. Whoo!

Too much excitement...

Tomorrow is my second suppression check. I hope to be completely suppressed so I can move onto stims! I will update tomorrow after I know. 
I am currently on my period which is normal for this part of the IVF cycle, but on Monday night I woke up feeling really sick and had terrible cramps. I went to the restroom. Then I thought I was going to throw up. I was hot and sweaty and my ears were ringing. I called to Chris to bring me some water. Then I tried to walk back to my bed. At that point I passed out in the bathroom. I had a pretty nice headache the next morning. I called my doctors office and talked to them about it. I was told to increase fluids and that they will check vitals. I am fine now and I am feeling much better. 

Lupron injection...and ttc mail!

Last night was my first Lupron injection of this cycle! I have an appt next Thursday and I pray I am completely suppressed so I can move onto stim injections on the 22nd! I can't believe we are at this point! Praying and believing in God and believing in Chris and my miracle baby!! I will keep you updated as we go through our cycle. Thank you to each one of you who gives support and the encouraging messages. We really appreciate it! I had two girls that sent me cards and I really appreciated them! Body Shop Girl 
and Jessica. I really appreciate your kind words and I hung your cards on my bathroom mirror with my other encouraging words I write on them! I can look at them daily and remember I have lots of people rooting for us! Love you girls! :)

Wait for the Lord..

This post I am being more vulnerable in what I share. Please don't criticize me for my feelings or failures.

Wait for the Lord; Be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Psalm 27:14

I have been preparing my mind, body, and soul for my IVF round three cycle. My goal is to cast all fears aside. I know this is hard..you don't have to tell me that or remind me. I have been through enough infertility, disappointments, and Miscarriage to know fear creeps in the mind a lot. Every time I am getting a negative thought...which honestly happens more than I would like to admit..I say no! I am not fearing! God is in control and I am not letting the devil put fear into my heart, mind, and soul. Will I have fear? I am sure, but my goal is to cast it away. I believe in the promises of God. I am praying for the desires of my heart. God knows my desires. I am crying out to him what exactly I want! I read a book called Supernatural Childbirth. After reading that I decided I need to cry out my desires. I have prayed for my last cycles of course, but this round is different. I am believing more than ever! I am trusting God. I am not going t fill my mind with What ifs? What if I never have a baby? I have to stop that!
Another thing I am trying my best at is praying better for my ttc friends. I am praying to God for great embryo quality and pregnancy for them. I have to admit that sometimes I get so wrapped up in my journey that I sometimes haven't been great at praying a lot of specifically for my ttc friends. I am getting better. I feel like it is a strength that God is giving me because I have to admit it is hard to wish and pray  for someone else on something you want to bad too! BUT, I am tired of feeling jealous, angry, and bitter every time I see a pregnancy announcement etc in the facebook world or anywhere for that matter. 

Prayers:
**Next Suppression check that I will be fully suppressed and can move onto stim meds!
 
 

 

"Lets get this beautiful woman pregnant!" :)

Hello there! I bet you are wondering what my title means...huh? :) I had my suppression check number 1 today. Dr. R came in and shook my hand and said it was great seeing me again. Then he turned to the nurse and said "Lets get this beautiful woman pregnant." It made me feel special. Hahaha. Anyway, the ultra sound seemed great and then I went over to have my blood work done. My estrogen levels came back good and I get to start my Lupron on March 10th! I am excited. It seems like my endo diet is helping! :) When I went over to Bennet to get my bloodwork done the nurse looked at me and said, "Are you getting skinny?" Haha. I said yes, I have lost 24 lbs. Then I told her she was the only one noticed because they didn't take my weight at Dr. R office. I was glad she could tell I have been working hard. 
I went to acupuncture afterwards. It was nice and relaxing. 
All seems to be going well so far. 
My prayers for this cycle are:
*To have a smooth cycle
*Good quality of eggs
*at least 1 embryo that makes it to freeze (neither 1st or 2nd cycle had any make it to freeze)
*To have a baby or babies
