To be or not to be. That is the question.
January 2, 2008
Here we go, to the clinic. Appointment is 8:30 am.
Goals:
1. Are we pregnant?
2. Is there any problems with the left flank pain?
3. What is with the vomiting for the last 48 hours?
4. Can they make the vomiting stop?

And another...uuugghh!
Day 12
Birth control pill, vitamin, folic acid and the doxycycllin... you know the rest. Anything bad has to go, any thing good has went so I'm seeking out recipes for Air Au gratin, or a spinach mousse that resembles the likeness of chocolate~actually I think that I will be doing the soup thing for a while the antibiotic is starting to make my gut swirl about two hours after I take them, so only 4 more days of them left...yeah for me.

And another ...
Day 11
Happy Thanksgiving...I do have a lot to be thankful for, one of them is being able to do this IVF cycle. Who would have ever thought that would be in my Thanksgiving prayers...
Kinda sad, but I am kinda not because just going through all theses steps is getting me closer than I could on my own, so anything is better than nothing..right?
Not much other than all the craziness of the holidays swarming around us but I did manage to take the "pill", the vitamin and the supplement. Oh and the lovely docxcylline.
Avoided the junk food, ate some good food...will try to be better tomorrow.
I hope my ovaries are appreciating what I am trying to do for them...

Another calander day...

My contribution to a successful IVF is as follows:
Birth control pill taken with force, a prenatal vitamin and an extra supplement of folic acid.
No smoking, no drinking, no soda, no caffeine and avoiding as much sugar and white flour as possible.

Did the phone ring?
Day 9
Called the clinic, left a message, waiting for the phone to ring.
On the good news front, the scripts that were ordered the other day went through the insurance and Whewww! I am sooo happy. This was the other shoe I was waiting to drop.
So here is my IVF cocktail...
Birth Control Pills ~ Plain Jane birth control pills to harbor ovulation and not lose any more eggs (good or bad ones), also allows them to take control of the cycle.
Baby Asprin ~ Over the counter answer to better lining and blood flow to the uterus.
Ovadrel (injectable) ~ I will have to recheck but I think this one is the trigger that will boost the mature eggs for retrieval "harvest".
Zithromax ~ I will take after the retrieval "harvest" to ward off any infection.
Estrace ~ Estrogen supplement that I will take following the transfer procedure to support the transfer until implantation occurs or doesn't.
Progesterone Oil (injectable) ~ Simple injection to supplement the natural progesterone that is needed in the first weeks of pregnancy, especially for implantation and the first 12 weeks for placenta nutrition.
Gonal 450 (injectable) ~ This is the egg maker in layman terms, it will stimulate the ovaries to produce as many eggs as it can.
Menopur (not sure of this one?)
Lupron (injectable) ~ I will take this on day 14 of my birth control pills , this will put me basically in a menopause kind of state so the can stimulate more eggs other than the one or two that would normally grow to a mature state.
Doxicycline ~ Tom and I start to take in the morning has to be prior to the IVF procedure to avoid infection from current infection of unknown sources.
Yeah, there are a lot of injection, but honestly when the end results are what they are...really it is so not anything. After 9 years of fertility treatments and a google amount of testing, and being financially poor, a shot a day, it is like brushing your teeth. In a non-hypocondriatic way I sorta of like the militant regimen during that phase of the cycle it is a reminder that you are working toward something greater than today, which makes today's issues seem less hyped.
So, here I sit, waiting...
Ring, ring...later that day.
Oh yeah, I need the scripts by the 23rd because I will start them on the 24th. So we are going full steam ahead in this cycle.
Did you ask me if I was scared to death? Oh yeah. There is a lot to start praying for at this point. There is a lot at stake.

Is this a joke?
Day 8
A pill, a vitamin and a supplement walk into a bar.
Sorry, that is all I got today.
Told you this is a roller coaster ride. Today is the part where you are waiting for all the other people to get in their seats and fasten the belts.
