Ivf #4 update 16

So yesterday was our retreval....

We got there and Loveys mom was told how blessed she was to have a daughter like me...then they realized that Lovey was her son..hahahha So I intro myself to the embryologist. The came in and loved my socks! And Lovey wrote on my belly, "Welcome Home" and they looooooooooooooooved that....like brought people in to see my belly saying that was a first....:)



no those arnt where Aliens landed on my belly...Those are my estrogen patches:)

So our nurse came in and made us sign papers/consents on the number of embryos they put in me...she said we had 2 6 cells...I wont lie I was sad that one died. So the embryolosist came in and told me that we had three...Our nurse was like omg, im so sorry..I started crying, tears of joy of course!!! I had to sign the paper that is was 3 not 2.they were all 6 cells.

So we have 3 6 cell embyies in me right now.

Here are my cutie socks...


As they were inserting tem into me..the Dr that did my retreval said..do you feel the morning sickness yet? hahhaha and then i asked if I could see them ( a picture) and he said, yeah in 9 months....I LOVE that answer!!

Beta is Feb 4th:)

Ivf #4 update 15

ivf #4 update 14

k, i want to start of by saying i love my Dr's office..



yesterday I wasnt able to speak to the nurse because I was so sad..but Lovey did. She told him that the embrylosist told her that three that did fertilize where a good match and looked really good....she also told him that when they were taking out the eggs they thought that most of them wernt good...well I call today. because Im in a way better place today and she tells me that I shouldnt be sad. The hormones arnt helping either. She told me that my babies dont wanna hear that I wanted other babies instead of them and if I keep it up she would call CPS on me for not wanting them..haahha I told her that its not that I dont want them...I wanted three to put back...but what if they die? She asked me to hang on...She comes back and tells me if I wait a few minutes the Embryologist will go and check on them...He comes back and say I have 2 2 cells and 1 four cell!! He said they look GREAT!!!



So Im on the happy train!!!



and i LOVE my Dr.'s office...

Ivf #4 update 11

This am I woke up in a better mood. I knew I would. I just needed a moment to be sad. Its funny how I used to litaraly only need like 20 minutes and know I need a full day. Damn Infertility

I go at noon to get a massage. I have alot of stuff to do around the house today.

Our Transfer is at noon. We will be putting 3 embrios in our womb to implant for the next 9 or so months then we will have our baby...

I will write on our belly...Welcome Home Lovey Doveys!

This will be it.

We will get pregnant.

IVF #4 update 10

now I know that we said we would for sure put three back and that we wernt sure on four...and yes I know that my embies dont live past day 4 really...but i wont lie. Im sad. Lovey went to the store. I think he just had to get out of the house...He said to me..You may not agree with me, but Im glad this is our last one...I dont disagree with him. at all.

Im sad, why not a better result? was it the caffeine I drank...was it the lack of acupuncture...was it the lack of yoga. Its all going through my head.

I hope on Friday they are all growing strong!!!! That will be a good report.

this is soooo hard

Ivf #4 update 7

So today I went to see the Dr for my final count/us....They found 24..12 on each ovary....Its on a big screen TV and so i got to see all my loveydoveys:)

So lovey tells me that he cant go today. I asked him over and over teasingly to go but I knew he had to work...Well Im done giving blood and I hear hey...and I turn around and there is the cutest boy ever, my lovey!!!! He took his lunch break and then some, to come see me!!! I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy!

All the follies measure 15-20mm...a few smaller to 11mm and a few bigger up to 23mm....I'm alot more tender but i had no idea there were that many...wowwwwie..

I trigger tonight. ER at 9:45 Tuesday...

im thrilled

this may be it

IVF #4 update 6

I went this am for anoher count..it seems I love the office more everytime I go...They took me in the back to draw blood and I was showing off my niece and the pics I took of her and they loved them...so much that Dr Gelman wants to put my link on his website!!!

So when its time for my mock transfer, you can see it on the screen which I love and then she scanned me. There are still 15. A few to little and a few to big. Andrea thinks that I will have 10-12 mature ones:) They told me today that my egg retreval is Tuesday and my transfer in Friday. I do go for one more count and measure and instrustions on Sunday! They said my lining is almost a 13 and triple layer which is what they wanna see:)

They asked for Lovey and they call our follies little lovey doveys which makes me cry. I love them.

Im so sad I didnt go here before.

Im sad this is my last one...I hope for the reason that Im pregnant is why and not lack of insurance.

IVF #4 update 5

We went to Texas and that was amazing in itself and will need a whole post by itself but today we went in for our first follie count...

we have 15...9 on one side and 6 on the other.My lining is a 10. They are beyond impressed. The Dr. said he thinks that my health must be better because i looooook sooooooooooooo good and he was all smiles and the nurses were too. I love it there..They even lowered my dose of meds. I go back Friday for another scan:)

it was a good day...

btw i got my ER socks when i was in Texas...pics to follow:)

thankful

i came home from my friends last night to see that lovey put the 30+ christmas decs boxes in the attick all by himself...our house looks soooo awesome!!!

another reason I love him.

we have our baseline tomorrow and then we fly to Texas...off to pack!

I love my lovey

I'm so in love...I have a very bad cold...so lovey came home and made me my favorite chicken casarole...then he made me hot chocolate and lit candles outside for me....

Last night he drew me a bath and lit some candles..

I'm not feeling good at all and this makes me know this is still the best decision I have ever made!!

IVF #4 update 4

I started my period today..I believe right on schedule....

I have my baseline thursday am and I leave for Texas at noon...
Baby growing shots the 8th
come home the 11th
First U/S on the 12th

I hope its a good distraction.

my yoga teacher is gone till Jan 20th....any videos you can recommend?

debt

so i never do resolutions because I never have anything I REALLY want to do...well this year, we do. We want to get out of debt...So I imported everything into Money and its pretty neat although I dont know anything about it at all and I am a bit overwhelmed, but its a start, putting all my crap in...

well, while entering all the info in I am grossed out by how much I pay for stuff...like I brag about the good deals I find, but once you pay the intrest at kohls for $9.00 you have just given them back there %15 off coupon..nice. so whatever I buy, I want to pay back right away...I know most of you know this, but I am blond and need a little more time..hahhaha

right now, if I pay my debt off by 2012, then something that cost $100.00 will cost me 126.00 say what? not so thrifty huh?
