On the road again...

Today is cycle Day 4.  The part of every cycle where I get my hopes WAY up that this just might be the time.  I hope this time those feelings are right;)

We went for an ultrasound today.  Dr. said everything looked good, no residual follicles.  I will take Femara today through Monday.  Then Tuesday I will start Menopur.  This is a different injection that we did last cycle.  Dr. S also increased my dose on the injections for 2 of the 4 days I take them.  I will alternate between 150 IU's and 75 IU's.  We go back a week from Saturday, day 13.

Our appointment lasted a lot longer today than normal.  This injection is given a little different than the last ones so I had to go through all the "teaching".  We also talked about doing another HSG, Hysterosalpingogram.  Ugh.  I had one done a year ago, the same cycle that I got pregnant.  Everything looked normal from that test.  This new Dr. said it can be repeated every year or 2.  We decided to do one more cycle and if it is unsuccessful, next time around we will do another HSG.  Obviously, I pray this cycle works.  I want more than anything to be pregnant.  I will do whatever I need to get there, but I would LOVE to not have another HSG, talk about painful!!!  Anybody who has ever had one would agree with me that they are VERY unpleasant. 

Time well tell.  For now, pills, shots, and then, well you know what comes next!  Then the waiting...  we should know by the first part of April if this works!  By then I will be 27, tear!  Another birthday, another year past with out a baby.  Hope I never have to say that again!!!

Back to work tomorrow, but its Friday!!!  We are so looking forward to the weekend!

Love,
Kari
