just droping by to say hi... i read some of your blogs and I have to say.. I think it is amazing the faith you have... i need some more of it.. im just trying to figure out what my faith it.. i tried christian, catholic and im having a hard time deciding.. its hard to put faith in something that isnt working right away (ie pregnancy) Anyways no need to blabber on, lol kup on everything :)
Anymore news yet? I just checked my page for the first time in a couple of days. Surely they won't cancel the cycle, you don't have an abundance of follies. Let me know.
The first cycle of follistim I had either 2 or 3 follies, but I don't remember exactly. On my 2nd cycle I had 5 follies split between both ovaries all mature enough to O. The only time I felt O pains was on that 2nd follistim cycle and I only felt them on 1 side so maybe the other side didn't release. I dont know for sure.I hope this cycle works for you.
I honestly have no idea. I know that when I got pregnant with my son, I had one mature egg and one that was almost ready. Basically we had a chance of having one or two babies. In the past I do remember that I had several at a time, but none took. One of my problems was my estridol levels were low. If anything does not happen this time for you, you may want to ask about estridol levels. Best wishes and try not to stress. God will give you a baby when the time is right and you will get the baby that you are meant to have!
No problem! Please feel free to ask questions if you need to! Good luck giving the shots! It is all worth it in the end! :o) Best wishes and good luck!
The first time that I used it I was at 37.5 for 12 days - Did blood work and moved to 75.0 for 2 days and then did the Ovidrel and IUI.
The second time I used it I was at 37.5 for 6 days - Did blood work and moved to 75.0 for 5 days and then did the Ovidrel and IUI. I took a pregnancy test at night on 12 days past IUI and got a faint positive. I took another at 13 days past IUI and got a good positive. Went in for blood work the morning of 14 days past IUI and it was 195. At 16 days past IUI it was 508.
Best wishes and good luck!
One thing that I found helpful was in the Follistim Treatment Log - I recorded the date/Daily Dose/What Side(L or R)/Cartridge Content/Remaining Content
Here is what two entries looked like for me:
3/8/08 75.0 (L) 150.0 75.03/9/08 75.0 (R) 75.0 0
The spaces are where the lines are inside the booklet. I hope that made sense. I also recorded when we did blood work. It was really helpful for me.
I did 2 cycles of follistim. On the 1st cycle my temp spiked the morning of Iui so i knew that I O'd the day before, we missed the egg. On the 2nd cycle my Re upped my starting dosage and I had O pains the morning of iui and was O'ing right when we did the iui. ask me any questions you have. BFP here you come! make sure to keep me posted as to when you start the inject and when your 1st bloodwork and u/s are sched.
thanks for taking the time to read my blog! and yes, the $6,000 includes everything....meds, ultrasounds, the whole shabang! But only for one cycle. Leave it up to God is what I say too, if He wants it to happen it will right?!? It's still so hard to decide what to do.
I just wanted to say that you are an swesome person. Your energy is so positive and even by your words you can tell that you are a sober and faithful woman of God.
