End of the Road...For Now

Welp, I have been on injectables, Bravelle (225 iu) and Menopur (150 iu), for 7 days. I had my baseline on CD3 and my u/s showed no cysts and my estradiol was 23. I started injectables that night and did them until last night. I went in this morning for a follow-up - bloodwork and ultrasound. My estradiol has not changed since my follow-up on Tuesday, less than 20, and there is no growth of any of my follies. I cannot believe it!

The doc said to stop taking the injectables and to come in for a consult. I declined the consult for now. I am going to focus on school and my wonderful, bright daughter and my amazing husband. I believe that I will have a son! We are like Sarah and Abraham...

Cinco de Mayo

If I were a drinker, I could definitely party tonight! AF showed today. I have my baseline u/s and b/w on Friday at 8 am EST. I will have my results in the afternoon to know whether or not I get to start the injectables. Kenny and I decided that whatever happens happens. We will leave it in God's hands to give us a baby in His time. I'm okay with this decision as I start school next Monday - College Algebra, followed by Intro to Religion. During the fall 2009, I will take Anatomy/Physiology I and Microbiology. In the spring, I take my last class - Anatomy/Physiology II, and then I can apply for nursing school in the fall 2010! I'm excited!!!
