Slow starter, Good finisher

That's how Dr. H describes my ovaries. Slow to start but they finished good. I went to the Dr. Friday the 22nd, Monday the 25th, today the 27th and I will be going Friday the 29th. My eggs are growing just not that fast. That's OK with me as long as they eventually do what their suppose to do! On Monday the dose was increased to 187IU Friday and stayed there until tonight- tonight's and Thursday's dose was decreased to 150IU's.
We are nearing the end- IUI will possibly be Monday. I won't know until Friday. I'm ready to be pregnant! Good thoughts! Positive thoughts! Lots of prayer!

It's Febuary- back to work!!

It's been a while since I wrote. Since I last wrote we had an 2nd opinion appointment with another Reproductiove Endocrinologist in the area- we didn't care for him and he didn't offer us any advice/suggestions we didnt already know- so back to De. Hecht this morning. I am on cycle day 3 and we are starting injection round #4 tonight. I had a good appointment today and I feel more positive than I did a few days ago. Dr. explained that he has no doubts that I will get pregnant within the next 3 cycles and I shouldn't be worried about not getting pregnant- I should be worried about multiple babies. He also said the next time I do get pregnant it will most likely be a normal pregnancy and he kept ensuring me that he is thinking positive (and I should too) and he doesn't lie to his patients. He really made me feel excited that I'm going to be pregnant soon. I am also glad that he put me on an additional shot (Ganirelix Acetate)to prevent early ovualtion like what happen last injection round. http://www.follistim.com/Consumer/GanirelixPregnyl/GanirelixAcetateInjection/AboutGanirelixAcetateInjection/index.asp
So 150IU's today through Friday and back to Dr. on Friday. My fingers, toes, eyes, arms, and legs are crossed! Scott and I decided to think of this cycle as a clean slate- like it is out first time doing the shots and not to even think about or mention the past cycles. i think it is a good idea. Usually I will bust out my notes from the last cycles and compare IU's and follicles. Im just going to concentrate on this cycle and not compare it with any other ones. (deep breath) Here we go. Bring on the hormones- I'm ready!
