I am so sorry that it has been so long since my last post. I have so much to say as a lot has happened!
In my last post I mentioned that af did not come when she was expected. Well she never showed up at all. I waited until the 9th I believe and I called my RE she then set up an appointment for a baseline ultrasound and did some blood work. She is still unsure as to why I never got my period. I was then put on Menopur starting on the 13th, I took 150iu for two days then I took 75iu for four days. I went back in for an ultrasound and blood work on the 19th it showed no response so she upped my dose of menopur to 150iu a day for four days and once again I didn't respond my E2 was around 52 (what ever that means!). She kept me on the 150iu dose for four more days. I went in for yet another ultrasound today (really early I might add) I had two follicles, one on each ovary that were 8mm, not very big but bigger than the others so I was obviously excited as I thought that the meds were actually working. During my consult with my RE after the ultrasound she said that it didn't look like I was responding. She said that it was best to just cancel this cycle. I will be put on Provera for 10 days and then birth control for a few months. I do not like the idea of being on BC as it really seems counter productive.
So this is what is going on with this cycle.
There is something else I really need to tell everyone. Nick and I have decided to take a break from ttc with help. We have been trying for exactly 1000 days tomorrow and with the cost of this canceled cycle and the stress we thought that it would be best for us to take a break for the next year and just focus on us. Since a couple of months before we were married we have been trying to get pregnant, at first it wasn't very stressful as we were sort of just going with it. But during that first year we were going through a ruff time and then after that first year the stress off ttc got to us. Our relationship was better but ttc takes alot of emotional effort. We are now half way through our third year of marriage and we have decided to make 2012 all about us and about our relationship and about being together, no more stress with fertility treatments and their costs. We plan on going on minny trips and paying off debt, we want to buy a house and a car, as disappointed as I am about this cycle not working out I am so excited that we can make some time for us. I know that LTTTC can destroy a relationship and I will not let that happen.
That is all for now I suppose. Happy New Years!
