Follie Update # 2

Todays Update- things are still status quo. 

Still 12 little follies- still all right about 10mm. Still no real growth there. 

Thankfully my uterine lining is at 8mm T/L, which is pretty wonderful. 

My Menopur has been upped to 225 IU with 225 IU Gonal-F and I will start the Ganirelix tonight. 

The Menopur being upped should help pump those follies up into overdrive and get them growing. Also the last time I took 225 IU Menopur my lining responding amazing going into double digits. 

The Ganirelix will help to keep my body from ovulating since we need these little follies to get bigger. 

I return on Saturday for another check. 

If you could pray for some growth and/or do the follie growth dance that would be lovely :) 

I know they can grow. I've been down this road before where I was just slow to respond. I know they will grow, they just need a little bit of time. 

My best friend is trying to get off Saturday since Rob will be in a class all day. We're going to try to make a day of it since I have to go to the farther away office. I plan on stopping at the stores up there and finding a retrieval and transfer outfit. I want something with give in the waist since that seems to be ever expanding and something bright and cheerful to help keep my mood up. 

With continued side effects the fatigue has really set in. After a few errands I am completely wiped out. I'm so thankful I am only working 36 hours a week right now, because I have no doubt I would be drooling on myself if I had to work anything more.

Finally- On my way home Natalie Grant's - Hurricane was playing and I couldn't help but compare IVF to a hurricane. You feel like you are just blowing about in the wind…

Balancing Act

This weekend our hot water heater broke. Sometimes I feel like we really can not catch a break.

　

　

If its not one thing it really is another.

　

　

My hope is that the universe can't give us lots of good things all at the same time- so to offset the good we are presented with some bad- this version of bad involves ice cold showers.

　

　

My hope is that means we have some good coming our way. In order to balance things out.

　

　

My hope is renewed that maybe this cycle is the cycle.

　

　

My hope is that keeping a good attitude and staying upbeat and positive is going to work out eventually.

　

　

I know deep within my heart that Rob and I are meant to be parents and when the universe is ready to bless us with that and stop testing our tenacity-- we will be.

　

　

So I truly hope the tides are turning and the good times are coming.

　

　

Come on little follicles lets grow, grow, grow...
