No results!!!

I never heard anything. So I finally called the on-call nurse. I guess they never got the fax! Ughh! Stupid clinic. That was the first clinic we went to (where we got bad results)...maybe they're trying to sabotage me!! The nurse on call was helpful and said I should call my clinic in the am first thing and have them fax it over and also call CCRM first thing. I should still be able to start (she said they'll even go as late as 2pm for morning stims...and readjust the next day). Hoping it all works out tomorrow. I really wanted to know for sure today...just to know!

No cysts!!

I had my baseline u/s and bloodwork this am, no cysts were seen!! Wahoo! What a relief!
Still waiting to hear from the nurse with my bloodwork results. Will update later...

Bad Omen?

If I stim for the expected 10days.... my egg retrieval will be on Friday the 13th!! Is that a bad omen?? Although, I just realized that if I had my egg retrieval on Aug 12 as originally planned I would get my fert report on Friday the 13th! I think I rather have my egg retrieval on Friday the 13th! Who knows....maybe I'll stim 11 days and avoid the 13th all together :) And on the other hand, I hope I'm even continuing with my cycle (so nervous about the possibility of a cyst and cancellation) so I'll take Friday the 13th if that's what it is!!!

AF is here!

AF started this afternoon...but not full flow. I talked with the nurse and she said I should have one day of full flow, so should wait till cycle day 2 to go to suppression check. So, I will go in on Sunday! Hoping for no cysts and bloodwork suppressed!

If all looks good, I'll start stims on Monday! One day later than I thought, but I can handle that :)

Suppression check cancelled

So, AF still hasn't shown up. I surged on July 14th (confirmed with bloodwork).... so it should be coming right? I'm crampy too...I think it'll show up today or tomorrow. I hope!!!!

I was concerned about going to my suppression check if I won't even pass...what a waste of money and time. I pay for these local u/s and bloodwork out of pocket and it's pricey!!! So I called the nurses yesterday...no response until about early evening.
The nurses said DO NOT go to suppression check until AF has come. My nurse did not make this clear at all. I was glad know and to cancel my appt for today. She said keep waiting for AF and then get checked. I am hoping it comes today!! Then, I can get checked tomorrow and start stims as scheduled for Sunday. If not, I will just have to wait day by day. The first nurse I was talking to said they only start stims on Thurs-Sun..... so that means I'd have to wait till next Thursday if I don't start this Sunday. But then another nurse chimed in and corrected her....she said they'll let me start anyday... so just wait for AF and we'll get started. I was relieved to hear that cause just a couple days delay isn't a big deal but another 5 days definitely throws off our plans. Ughh! Cycling out of town is a big stress and so frustrating!!!

Feeling Better

I snapped out of my bad mood a couple of days ago... feeling much better. Lupron is treating me ok. I've taken it before since I've done the long lupron cycle 4 times before this!!! Usually minimal SE from lupron so that's good. AF is due today or tomorrow. I think I feel it coming!!! I hope it comes or it could delay things. But I don't see why it wouldn't come, we did confirm my LH surge with bloodwork so it should be on time.... unless I miraculously get pregnant naturally!!! The other hurdle is no cysts... still a little nervous about that too! NO delays, please!!

We've been working on planning our trip in the meantime. I booked the car today and used the CCRM discount with Enterprise and got a good discount. We're staying with friends for the first few days. They live in Fort Collins which is about an hour and a half (without traffic) to CCRM!! After thinking it over some more, we'll probably stay in a hotel for rest of our stay, there's some good deals with the CCRM rate and the drive just seems like too much everyday if we stayed in Fort Collins. I think my mom would feel more comfortable if we stay in a hotel (she'll be watching my son while I'm at appts). I feel like I'd be abandoning her for a few hours if I left her in Fort Collins without a car at some people's house she doesn't know. My mom and I are looking forward to spending some time together and doing some fun things in Colorado. The zoo sounds fun for my son. Anyone have any suggestions?

Bad mood

I wasn't in the best mood this weekend, it was my DH's birthday on Saturday, we had a big party at our house. My poor DH! I was really not excited about the party at all. I don't know if it's the lupron or what but I just couldn't seem to snap out of it. I was also dreading having certain guests at the party...especially our friends that recently had their second baby. By the time the guests arrived, I was in a better mood and was friendly and happy. I felt bad cause I wasn't as friendly as I'd normally be with our friends with the newborn. I didn't talk about the baby at all and avoided any interaction with the little one. How horrible is that?

I've also been worrying that at my suppression check they'll find a cyst. I know not all cysts cause a cancellation since I've had non-functional cysts in prior IVF cycles... but there's a girl on one of the internet threads who just got cancelled due to a cyst secreting E2... and she is soo bummed. That would be soo frustrating!! I'd have to tell my manager to put me back on the schedule once again! Ughh! I have found coverage for all my shifts at this point and it took a lot of effort and stress. I hope my plans stay in place! I just don't want to wait another month + anyway. I'm ready to get this overwith!!
