Back to Cycling
Sorry for the hiatus. There hasn't been anything terribly exciting to report so I haven't blogged.
I did go to Utah for a stamping thing mid July and it was so unbelievably hot I thought I was going to die. Utah is humid compared to New Mexico. I got zero sympathy. Oh well. We were very close to Temple Square and it was lovely. Utah is not someplace I would ever want to spend a long period of time but I do plan on going back for my anniversary in May. Paul has never been and I liked Temple Square enough to want to share it with my husband.
I went back to the doctor when my period started trickling in and had an u/s on cd 2. The endo is primarily on my right ovary. I have given up any hope that this ovary will ever be useful again. My lining measured 10 mm on cd 2 so I was instructed to start meds on Sunday night. Wednesday I had my u/s and follie check and the news is not good. again. This is so depressing. I have only two follicles. They are on the left side and they are decently sized at 12mm and 17mm. Should I call that a silver lining? Last time I responded so well with eight follies; I don't understand why I am responding so poorly this time. I will OPK today and tomorrow and I will probably have the IUI done Saturday morning. I take baked goods to my clinic every time I have a procedure done on the weekend so I need to search recipes for something tasty to make for them on Saturday morning. I picked up the IVF fee schedule and instructions and felt a tiny bit overwhelmed. It is a long process about six weeks. I know I shouldn't complain. I have been dealing with IF since 2002 so six weeks shouldn't seem like that long but geez. My clinic requires that there be at least five follies to retrieve for an IVF cycle not to be cancelled. This has been a rather dull post so on that pathetic note I will say goodbye until next time.
