Second, the new cycle is officially underway! I went and had my cd 2 ultrasound the other day and all is quiet on the western front. No cysts. I did, however, get a small parade of nurses in my exam room to tell me how sorry and absolutely shocked they were that I wasn't pregnant. It was very sweet of them but I was still a bit fragile and had a hard time not just sobbing while sitting there naked from the waist down.
Sadly this is a common struggle in my life. Doesn't everyone have trouble not crying with their pants off in semi-public places?!
No? Just me? Hmmm.
Well, moving on, they are changing up my protocol just a bit this month. I am on femara days 3-7 and they are lowering my follistim dosage to 75 iu's on days 5, 7, and 9. I was a little disappointed about that. I know that my cycle was almost cancelled because of too many follicles but dangit, I want to try with three follicles again!!! Oh well. We shall see what we see at the cycle day 10 ultrasound.
The good news is that I should be all triggered and sexy time completed before Thanksgiving. We are headed to Boston on the 24th-30th to spend the Holiday with my Dad, Aunts, Cousins, and my hilarious 93 year old Grandmother. My husband hasn't met my extended family yet so it should be fun. We're praying for snow!!
The side benefit of this is that the trip falls in my two week wait which should keep me nicely distracted. And when we get back there is my favorite thing of all: Christmas decorating with my handsome husband! It's our favorite time of year and we love decorating our house. We make a day of it and have so much fun. So I really think this two week wait is going to go a bit smoother and I am really happy about that.
In other news, there are some changes in the wind for this lil blog!! A redesign is just getting started and we're even getting a new title! Because, let's face it, Sarah Q is kinda lame.
So get ready to see those changes coming soon to a blog near you.
I'm so sorry this cycle didn't work. I hope that with the new protocol changes you will have an awesome holiday season :)
ReplyDeleteWanted to stop by and let you know that I've been thinking about you. I'm so sorry that you had a horrible week. I hope this new protocol does the trick and you can start off the New Year with a little bun in the oven.

ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new cycle. Thank you for being brave enough to share your intimate story with us. My sister struggles with polycystic ovaries and had had many crushing blows with failed preggers attempts and miscarriages. Hugs to you! I'm a new follower and am sending you all my positive, baby-making thoughts!
