Stay away AF

This might be TMI but I am starting to have discharge like I'm getting my period....crap! I can't get my period yet, it's not time! If I start my period now that means we won't be able to do the "estrogen priming" and we will have to go with just a regular cycle. I called my nurse and she said she thinks it's nothing and calmed me down but I'm still worried.

Com on body, you're doing so well. Don't start AF yet, wait a least a week so I can start my Estrace.

I talked to my IVF nurse about my huge jump in AMH and told her about the wheat grass and DHEA and she is amazed...I love stumping the pros:) I seem to do it so well:)

I am ECSTATIC right now

Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh!!!
So let me start by saying when I first had my AMH (anti-malarian) hormone checked it was .8 (not good). The last time I had it checked it went down to .2 which caused them to diagnose me with POF and said DE would be my only option to have a baby. I started doing some research and started taking 75 mg of DHEA and 7 wheat grass every day since last August with the hope that we could try once more with my own eggs although we knew the chances were very slim. FSH back and it went down from 9 to 7 (YAY). My IVF nurse emailed me today and said that my AMH went from .2 to...wait for it, wait for it...1.4!!! That's right, 1.4 which is in the normal range, although they ideally like it to be over 2 but I'll take it. Holy CRAP I am so excited I can't even speak.

This could really happen!!!

Love Thy Neighbor

I know I do!!





This beautiful plant was waiting for me on my front porch when I got home from work today. Our new neighbors put it on our porch just because they are awesome!!

On the IVF front-I just got a whopping bill for $1200 from my RE's clinic and I'm a little pissed because I've already paid for this and wish it was reflected on my bill. Of course they were closed by the time I got the mail so I have to take time our of work tomorrow to call and sort this out. I am looking forward to getting on with this cycle and starting my Estrace on Friday night.

I had a CT scan of my chest today to see if there is any more cancer in there before we move on with this cycle. I will know the results when I meet with my doctor next week.

FINALLY

I finally got my +OPK this morning. I start Estrace next Friday!! YAY, I was seriously getting worried.

b/w = nothing

The results of my b/w from yesterday are back and I still have not ovulated. She said to continue testing until Thursday or Friday and then come back in again. I drive 45 freaking minutes to get one minute of blood drawn...uggh!

So now I have to go buy pack #3 of OPK's and pray that I ovulate.

Nada

zip, zilch, zero, nil AKA NOTHING

Yesterday's peeing on an OPK revealed nothing. Today I am CD20. I have this afternoon and then it looks like I'm going to have to bite the bullet and go get my E2 tested tomorrow. I am scared that this will be the one and only month that I don't ovulate. What are the odds?

CD 19 and NOTHING

Today is CD 19 and as of yesterday afternoon I still have not seen a + OPK. I have an appointment for Monday to get b/w done. I am praying for a surge this afternoon or tomorrow so I don't have to drive across town to get b/w but I'll do what I have to. It seems like I've been waiting forever and I am ready to get this show on the road.

People keep asking me when I'm going to start chemo and I just have to say that I'm not sure because I don't want anyone to know we're doing this cycle because there's a high chance it won't work again and then I will end up doing the chemo this summer after all.
