Positive outlook...

Today is CD 19 for me. I am officially in the TWW.

CD 13 - My follicle scan showed 1 follicle (on the right side) that had potential.

CD 15 - My follicle scan showed 2 really (again on the right side) nice follicles. My LH level was already 80 (which is high!!). The IVF clinic was happy to see that high of a number. While trying for my second I never had a number so high. Today I also had a positive OPK. I mixed up my HCG and my hubby administered it to me.

CD 18 - I took my first injection of supplemental HCG last night and I still feel so bloated. This is one feeling I totally forgot about. But in the end, all very worth it.

It's nice taking our time with these few cycles... We are not doing IUI's. We are just using medical intervention with medication. I am enjoying not having to go to the clinic and getting in those stir-ups more than I have to.

We shall see what happens in the meantime I am trying not to think about the bad and focusing on the good. This time around I am in a totally different mindset and I am proud of myself.

New treatment, new beginnings...

Today is CD 11... I am doing well after being on Femara. I don't feel very emotional. I am not going zero-to-psycho in no time flat. So I am happy for the lack of noticable change in hormones. I wish I was on Femara the last time. Clomid was SO hard on me and my family but I lived through it.

I have continued taking my Baby Aspirin as well as 2 teaspoons of Cough Syrup with Guaifenesin. I have been using a cheaper drug store brand.Taking this until you ovulate helps with cervical mucus. I took this when I got pregnant with my second child and I am hoping it works again. It tastes disgusting but a tiny cocktail in the morning is worth it!

I go into the fertility clinic on Monday (CD13) for a follicle scan. Then let the fun begin!

Crazy...

I have kept this blog throughout my infertility journey(ies)...

I was successful to conceive our second daughter in August 2006. After having a complicated pregnancy and complicated delivery followed by major complications.

I seek closure...

My maternal instincts have told me to try... Try for less than 6 months to make our family complete.

I have abandoned this site and now I come back with my newest journey.
