They transferred two 8 cell embryos and everything went well. The PIO shots were not bad either. I stopped taking the PIO shots and switched to progestrone suppositories - and they are horrible - I had an incident this morning - where the mess can out of me - which totally scared me because now I am thinking I am not getting enough progestrone - so I called my RE and asked if I could be put back on PIO shots and they said sure - and that I had one refill left - so I called IVP care and ordered more PIO. They are shipping it out today and I should get it tomorrow. So only today and tomorrow of the suppostories three times a day and then I am done with it.
My beta is on Monday the 23rd. I am not going to test beforehand. I go in for the bloodwork at 7:15 am and they should call by 3 pm that afternoon - I asked them if they could just leave a message on my voicemail so that I can listen to it with my hubby when we get home - so we can find out together.
Please please let this be it for me - after over three years of trying - I deserve to be pregnant and have a baby.

Everything went really well on Thursday - they got 18 eggs - which I think is pretty good. They called me on Friday and out of the 18 eggs they got - 13 fertilized without ICSI - because DH's sperm was really good - they did not give me the actually counts though. Out of the 13 they already froze 5 embryos and are watching 8 of them now. They called me this morning and said my ET is tenatively set for tomorrow morning - they do want to check my embryos one more time tomorrow morning before I come and if they are not ready they will cancel the 3 day transfer and we will move forward with a 5 day transfer on Tuesday but if we have two lead embryos then I will go in for my transfer tomorrow at 8:30 am.

I went for my 4th follie check this morning and everything looks great and I am ready to go - yay! I have 27 mature follies now - my lead follie is measuring at 20. I will trigger tonight and go in for my ER on Thursday. My transfer will most likely be Sunday. Now it is up to DH - I did my part - the nurse said I had a beautiful cycle and responded to the medication wonderfully. The only thing that is bothering me now is my arm - they had to take blood out of a already very bruised arm and it is really swollen and sore right now - but other than that I am feeling pretty good. I am not too uncomfortable today - even though my pants do not fit anymore because of the bloat. I am excited!!!!!

I put this on my other blog so I figured I would put it here too.
I went in this morning for my second follie check and I have about 24 follies - measuring between 9 and 11. I cannot believe it - when I went in on Wednesday there was only 8 follies measuring between 5 asnd 6/12. The nurse said there is about 10 to 12 follies on each side.
She said my lining was good and two days ago my hormone levels were normal but she said if they are thru the roof today then she will have me cut back on my medicine tonight and that I may have to come in Sunday for a check but if everything is normal then I will not go back until Monday.
She said all of these follies could be a good thing though because maybe that will mean I will have alot to freeze but I am nevrous because I am scare to over stimulate. I am hoping and praying everything will be okay but she said there may be some cause for concern - but they have to wait and see what my hormone levels are.
Please pray for me and if you are not the praying kind - please send good thoughts my way that everything will work out and I will make it to the ER and that my cycle does not get canceled.
My hormones are going crazy and I cannot stop crying - please let everything be okay.

Since Rene, Amanda and Rachel all had boys - that means that I am going to have a boy too - because we all started TTC at the same time. Do you like my logic - LOL.
So IVF is offically underway - We went to injection class yesterday afternoon and boy was it alot of information. I started my first Lupron injection this morning. Dr. DH did a great job - and it did not hurt at all. I hear the side effects are not so great - but they take 2 to 3 days to come on - so we will see how this weekend goes.

I am on day 7 of the birth control pills for IVF. They also have me on pre natal vitamins now and baby aspirin.
Yesterday I went in and had a Hysteroscopy so they could take a look once again and make sure everything was a go for IVF - which it is - everything looks good.
My IVF meds will be arrive on Thursday and our injection class is on October 15th. We start Lupron on October 16th. Then we start Menopur and Bravelle on October 23rd - and that is the date I will go in for my baseline ultrasound and bloodwork.
So it looks like my ER will be at the end of October - probably around Halloween if not later - and my ET will be in the beginning of November.
I will find out if I am pregnant by the third week in November. I may be pregnant for Thanksgiving.

Not much going on with me - just waiting.
We are working on our computer room - redoing it - ripping up the carpets and painting, etc. I even got a new desk - so that has been keeping us busy.
Two weeks until I start birth control pills for my first and hopefully only IVF. I am so ready and excited. This is going to be it for us - I can feel it in my gut. DH on the other hand is freaking out - I think reality has just set in for him that this is happening and soon - I am sure he will come around once we start though.
My brother Andrew ran over an underground bomb in his vehicle a week ago. He was in the hospital until Tuesday - he was not majory injruied but he did get knocked out from the impact and was having alot of headaches and and chest pain. But he is okay now - he will be put on light duty for about a week and then he will be going back out in the field on another mission.

I went to my IVF consult today and we have a plan for IVF.
I will start BCP when I get my period in September which will be probably on September 28th - I am pretty regular. So if my period starts on September 28th then I would come in on probably 29th and start my BCP on September 30th - I will take the BCP for 3 weeks - within those 3 weeks we will have to set up an injectable class- on October 16th I will start stims - and they are looking at a possible ER the week of October 26th - they told me to basically block out that week - because they will not know until I am monitored when I will go for my ER. She said in their office - 3 day transfers are standard - and it is very rare that they do 5 day transfer - so we will just have to wait and see - but I could be in my 2ww by Halloween. This is all just a rough estimate and it will all be more set in stone when I get my period at the end of Setpember.
DH had a SA and his numbers are in normal range now. Which betters our chances with IVF.
I have heard from my brother a few times - he is doing okay and he is getting my packages and letters - I cannot wait for him to come home.
I cannot believe the summer is almost over and my brithday is in less than two weeks - I am going to be 28 years old.
