Catching up!

Wow, I haven't blogged in forever!

 I started my meds for fet a few weeks ago. Heading to ny for intralipids on the 12th, then off to Vegas next Sunday (17th). I'm excited and nervous, as usual.

We have four frozen blasts, will be transferring two! I think my beta pg test will be around July 2...just realized that is less than a month away!

There have been a lot of bfps in blogger land lately! I'm so happy that some of these women who have been trying 8, 10, 12 years are finally getting their good news! Maaaaaybe, I'll finally have a good update soon. I'm pretty sure I have never had a positive blog post.

My hours were cut at work from 25 hours per week to....5 hours per week. Barely even worth the effort, but I am honestly not very upset. I went grocery shopping, made tons of phone calls about meds etc, made a cheesecake, did some cleaning, reading, watched breaking dawn...it has been a nice week! About the meds phone calls, I have realized you just can't trust anything to do w insurance. First, we had all of those issues where they tried to take 7k of my 15k lifetime max, which thankfully we worked out; after like 8 months of phone calls. Now, when I tried to get my Lupron, first they say $325, I always pay $17...next time I talk to the pharm, it's $125....I get a letter from ins saying it is only covered for endo, uterine something, and....female infertility....umm hello, first of all I've been on this now 5 times for $17, and if I don't have female infertility, no one does! Anyway, I got it worked out, but it's just the point that I have to watch them! Also, Vi.agra in feb cost $280 for 40 suppositories, in may I got 56 for $90...I'm in the process of appealing this, so we will see. Point is, be careful w your insurance!

I'll probably update more once I'm in Vegas, and things are actually going on....I'll at least update WHEN I get my bfp in July!

Interesting tid-bit:  I am having my transfer 6/22, the same exact day I had a transfer last year....Let's just assume that is some sort of good sign...obviously grasping for straws here!  lol

FET Consult

I had my FET consult yesterday. Doctor says that it was 50/50 chance of getting pregnant with one blastocyst, and he believes I will get pregnant with one of these 4 frozens I have. The current plan (once again) is to do 2 blastocysts this time...hubby is still not 100% on board with this, but I will work on him through the coming months. We'll see if my doctor changes his mind last minute again about transferring two.

I will be getting my intralipid infusion this time, just in case that is the reason I'm not pregnant yet. I will have to go to vegas 2 days early. Then if I am pregnant, I will have to drive to my doctors PA clinic to get my second and final infusion. How obnoxious that I have to do all of this to get some intralipid, but if that is what helps to get my pregnant, I will glady put in the effort.

It is unbelieveable how much effort having a baby has taken. I just thank goodness that we've had insurance this whole time. We may have enough to cover this frozen transfer too! So even though we've been incredibly unlucky, we've been really lucky too and I'm so thankful for that!

FET #3

Time to start planning fet #3. We will probably transfer around July.

Now I just have to decide on one or two embryos...husband thinks we should only transfer one. Im not sure what I think quite yet.

7 Days Past 5 Day Transfer

Negative HPT this morning... I am pretty much assuming that is the true result, but guess we wont know for sure until the beta on Friday (10dp5dt). At least I have my four frozen, but another trip to Vegas was not exactly what I had in mind. I'll probably go back in May or June. Luckily this trip will only have to be 3 days.

Poor little blasty....why didn't you stick?!

Transferred!

One little blast was transferred today! Original plan was two, but doc thought they looked so great, he was afraid of twins...as am I! We have four frozen!!

Transfer itself was horrible! Very very full bladder, really wasn't sure I could make it! I was basically running up the table from the speculum. My bladder wasn't full enough when I came in so the filled it by cath (didn't know they could do that) .

Now I'm just waiting for Friday! Sooooo ready to go home. Could go home tomorrow but eh,not sure I want to pay the flight change fees, so I guess I'll just hang out.

Will add the pic of my blasts once I get home!

3day report

10-11 of my embs are still doing great!! We will do a 2 blast transfer on Tues!

Fertilization Report

13 mature, 13 fertilized!!!! OMG! So excited! will get my 3 day report tomorrow!
