Update

Well, I started cycle #27 today. I did quite a bit of pouting about it yesterday but I'm going to try to look forward and be as positive as possible this cycle. We will be doing another IUI this month, with Femara and Menopur injections. I'll keep everyone posted. Hopefully it will work. And if it doesn't, hopefully we will have some extra eggs to retrieve and freeze and be able to do a frozen IVF cycle next, which is much cheaper. So there's the update. Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers!

The Countdown is on!

Well, I am responding VERY well to the Menopur. I had a doctors appointment yesterday and I have six follicles that are a good size! That's right! Six! Instead of popping some of them (the original plan), the doctor is going to retrieve some of the eggs and freeze them. If we get pregnant this month then we won't use them and won't pay for them. I asked if I could donate them if we don't use them, but my RE's office doesn't do that in their office yet. If we don't get pregnant this cycle, then we can do a frozen IVF cycle for about a third or fourth of the cost of a normal IVF. We are really excited to have this as an option!

So I got my last Menopur shot tonight! THANK GOD! Chris gives me an HCG injection tomorrow night and then we go in Monday morning for the retrieval and IUI. I am really excited and pretty nervous about them retrieving the eggs.

I feel like we've got such a good chance. I am staying positive. It CAN happen. :)
