Update on appt...

Well it went well, I told him about my temp drop and of course he said "well you never know it might go up tomorrow" nice of you to say but nope once it drops Af comes within 25-48 hours.

I will be starting Follistim and doing HCG shots (trigger and boosters) and progestrone. Maybe this will be my magic combo.

He also wants me to do a HSG. he said he did not see a need for it but for peace of mind for me and him to know it is clear, they will do one, now this is going to be a struggle b/c the time frame in which they would do this will fall on labor day weekend. we were suppost to go away but DH has to work now and I was going to go alone but decided I would stay close, since I am starting a new drug and need to stay close to the DR just in case something happens. I am praying we can get this in and everything gopes smoothly. I thought I was going to cry a few times during my appt. but I held it together, when i was waiting for the DR to come in the room, I kept thinking I can not beleive it came to this.

He also told me in his experience and with my history he thinks my chances of conceiving with 3 months on jusy follistim and TI are 50% to 70%. he also asked how I feel about twins, I told him I was fine with it, he said that will determine how agressive they go, they try to keep it in the singleton range but if I do have 3 follies (by chance) and I am OK with twins they would not cancel the cycle, however it I had 4 or more follies they would cancel. They montior more often in my cycle on follistim and will be making sure multiples are a slim chance (if we got twins I would be fine - actually happy).

So there you are, my next cycle plan. Praying my tube is open and the follistim works and everything goes well. I just want this to work. I want to hold a healthy baby in my arms and feel the baby kicking inside me. I dream of Avery holding her younger sibling, I HOPE this works for us, b/c if it doesn't I do not know how I am going to handle it.

Well I will not be back on until Monday, for we are going away this weekend. I may try to get near a wireless comnnection to update on when AF arrives.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

I am glad the appointment went well and you will have piece of mind about your tube from the HSG. Those odds with Follistim sound awesome! I'm praying for you, Jennifer!! Have fun this weekend and try not to think too much about IF (I know that's easier said than done).
