More Disappointment

So, I go to see the RE on Monday.  I took the estrace and went to for u/s.  Got the call that there is an excessive amount of fluid in my uterus.  So, now, when I go in on Monday, we will discuss ANOTHER LAP!  My bad luck is never ending.  I can't believe I have to go through surgery, again.  I mean, I"m glad they caught it, instead of letting me go through with it, but, what are they gonna do?  Take out the tube that's tied?  They don't know where the fluid is coming from and if they can't get it under control, I will need a surrogate.  Ughhh...  TBD....

A lot can happen in a month!

So, I had the dreaded SHG done late September and apparently, there was a lot of scar tissue and polyps.  I met with the RE and his nurse and they scheduled me a hysteroscopy for October 8th.  This was basically the last thing I was expecting.

In the meantime, MH and I left 9-28 to 10-1 for a short anniversary vacation and left LO home.  That was the longest I had ever been away from him and only I cried 3 times.   I was so excited to come home to him but it also meant coming home to reality of getting surgery.

The surgery went quick and smooth.  The RE told me he didn't want me to get the FET til December but the way it fell, meant having to get it on my LO 1st birthday, which also is the day of his party.  Ummm, NO!  Then, the office is closed til mid January and I would have to wait til February.  I was pretty unhappy but surprisingly, I just went in for my post-op appt and RE told me if AF came this month, that I could go ahead with the FET in November.

MH was sure that I wasn't gonna get AF but there she was, right on time!  WOOHOO!  I called them and went in for my nurse talk the very next day and last night, I started my my first round of estrace.  My U/S is scheduled for the 13th and if all goes well, my FET should be the 17th :)

September 5, 2013

Labor day was nice.  We spent it over my parents with a Caribbean meal; jerk chicken and some mango chutney pineapple rice dish thing and Niki made s'more cupcakes.  As usual, we had lots of laughs and great conversation.  And did I mention that AF arrived and my SHG is scheduled!  Oh my goodness!  I can't believe it.  So, September 16th, we have to be there at 9:30 am for an 11:00 appointment.  We both have to get the HIV blood work, as well.  I have to fast, boooo!!!  Kim is going to give me something to take the edge off of me freaking out during this procedure.  I hope it's not as painful as the last time.  Just 11 more days to go and we get the ball rolling.  I spoke with my coordinator and basically asked her of my timeline here and what's gonna be going on and when.  So here is the line-up:  
  1. Sonohysterogram on 16th
  2. Go on vacation 28th - October 1.  Call Nurse when I get back to schedule nurse talk. 
  3. Go to nurse talk
  4. Call RE with October cycle so I can start my meds ( this should be end of October)
  5. Start meds
  6. Transfer (mid November-ish?) 
This is crazy to me with how fast this is all gong to go!  Especially with Paxton.  He makes it a point to keep me busy.  Love that lil guy!

Here we go, again!!  We were blessed to have had a baby and now it is time to go back for our last 2 embryos, in hopes of giving our baby a little brother or sister.

We are hoping for a November transfer and I am out of compliance for all of my blood work and tests, so we have to start, now.  BLAH!  I am not looking forward to the sonohysterogram.  Everyone says it didn't bother them but for some reason, it sure as hell bothered me!  I have to call my RE on day 1 of period and that should be coming up very soon.  I'm dreading this test.  I think when I call in, I will ask if they can prescribe something to take the edge off a little bit.
