Tomorrow I go in for my ER. I am VERY excited about it!!!

I have become a little attached to thse little eggies that may become my lil boy or girl...I know it sound silly, but I love the way I feel and it has made me enjoy this process....

But yesterday a little bit of worry and doubt creeped in...I told Rosann, my acupuncturist and she told me about this movie that scientifically proves that your words effect things...so she wrote on my belly to make me read the postive thoughts and it worked....

my awesome belly hahahahaha




I have a feeling that tonights gonna be a good night!!! sing it with me now!

IVF #3...update 9

Thew Dr.'s office just called..lack me back up..Went to Dr today (with Jess) and he said that my follies look wonderful. He said we would either trigger tonight and give me some meds before ER to assist in making me not hyperstem OR if my E2 was too high he was going to hold off all meds and make me come back tomorrow...

Well they just called and Im triggering at 7:30. I had to give myself a dose of meds just now so my E2 cant be that high....I forgot to ask..I was more concerned on how to make the HCG shot and all that jazz.

I go for acupuncture at 9am tomorrow and the pines location for a pee test. I think transfer is Friday!!!I can wait!!! Im used to the 5 day transfer because of PGD so this 3 days is gonna fly!


Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord,
"Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future...

IVF #3 update 8

So tonight I am feeling the effects of all the meds..well one effect....Im hella bloated. They said my Est is 3300. I go in tomorrow for another check. I think they will trigger me tomorrow night, which is fine by me:) That means the ER is Tuesday!

I have drank so much gatorade today. I had chicken soup for lunch. Lovey made me a chicken Ceaser salad and a chocolate shake with protein tonight:) I hope this has helped!

Other than feeling like I have drank the ocean and being bloated, I feel good. I hope that alot of follies are mature and alot fertilize.

IVF #3 update 7

Today I went for another daily appointment. I guess they really like me..hahaha It was just me and the nurse so I talked her ear right off. She measured 19 follies. 4 of them are right under 10mm but all the others are 11-13's, my lining is a 10.9 with the three teir thingy...she gave me a picture to put in my scrapbook or aka crapbook as lovey calls it:) I so think this is a good cycle and its gonna work! I get more excited everytime I go.

I did talk to an old friend that did IVF and got VERY hyperstimmed and had a little boy now...she told me drink protein shakes. She also told me lots of water which I am already doing. Another girl on a message board I frequent, told me to drink V8 and chicken soup. So I will do that too. I so dont want to hyperstim.

here are the little bumble bees...I think my follies look like a honeycomb so I call them my bumblebees:)



she just called...my est is 2275...back tomorrow am

IVF #3...update 6

I went in today for my daily appt...the Dr measured 13 follies. There are more but are smaller so he thinks they will only use 13 of them...we shall see.

they decreased my dose of menepur from 300 a day to 75iu. They have kept my follistim the same. My est was 903 Tuesday, 1039 Wednesday and 1593 today. If it stops pouring then I will run to Jamba Juice to get a protein smoothy.

I feel amazing. The bloating is bad, but I feel wonderful.

I cant believe the ER is Monday or Tuesday...time is a flyin...I REALLY have a good feeling about this one. I hope and pray I am right....please putme on every prayer list:)

IVF #3...update 5

today I went for my first follecular count. And it was...Drumroll please............18...Thats right. 9 on each side.

What did he tell me? That my body produces eggs like a 41 year olds? No Acupuncture?

WHAT WHAT???

I believe this outcome is a combo of things. GOD is first and formost. Because he is healing my body also that he gave me an awesome mind to show me what to take and what to do. Acupuncture, Yoga, Wheatgrass pills.

I pray this is it.

the tech even gave me a print out of the eggies....she told me that there are a few smaller ones that might even catch up and we will have more.

This is beyond awesome.

Its Sunday night. I feel like crapola. I am so sore from yesterday. Speaking of which, it was a great day. The festival went great. I gave my card to alot of people. I hope to get a lot of business from it:)

I woke up this am, so sore from bending down all day. And so tired. Well, I know Im coming down with something. It sucks, My body aches, my throat is sore. I cant take any meds cause the IVF. I am going to my Acu. in the morning for a shot. She said it pushes the cold through or out of you.

I go tuesday morning to see how many lil ones we have in there.

I hope LOTSSSSSS!

Casicline Designs is here!

Im SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO in love with yoga. I feel euphoric. I feel stronger. The best I have ever felt!!! It is helping with my sickness more than I ever thought it would. I love it!

I thought I would share:)

IVF #3...update 4

We did our first microdose lupron shot. Now, I wouldnt be sitting her telling you this at 7:25AM other than the fact that it BURNED like woahhhhh. It was way worse than the other meds and way longer. Its been like 25 minutes and I can still feel the small burn. I am calling the Dr when they open. Im sure its normal but ohhh mylanta it hurts!

Didnt make it to yoga last night but im going this am!

IVF #3...update 3

Today I went to my Dr. He said I look wonderful. He could not have been looking at my awful pedicure...All missions are a go. I start my microdose lupron tomorrow:)

I feel wonderful. Between my yoga and acupuncture and all that is going on with my Casicline Designs, its wooooonderful.

Lovey bought me a new camera bag that fits everything in there. I love it!!!! He is also building my a fence for the background of my photo shoot. We were going to put up some wood colored lattice but he decided a fence would be cuter in the background.

I am going to a friends house tonight so she can show me how to make hair bows:) Then Yoga!

Its a great month!
