Things have been so crazy that I have not posted. In a long time. On purpose. We started all the procedures for our first IVF back in November. I was looking forward to puncturing myself with needles on a daily basis.
Actually, I was looking forward to finding out if my eggs were crappy or not. Really.
Unfortuantely, I found out on the day after Thanksgiving that I had a lovely 31mm cyst on my right ovary. Stop. Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Spend $700 On Follistim. Since I was already taking my Lupron injections and birth control pills it was decided that I would continue this procedure until December 24th.
This was primarily decided so that all the doctors and nurses at the clinic could go on vacation...er, I mean, so the cyst could go away. Seriously though. I was now subject to a month of injections and a delayed cycle.
Boring. My desire to post oh so witty dialouge on the internet about repetitous needle sticks during the holidays just didn't seem all that fabulous. In fact, it seemed pretty depressing and I honestly couldn't think of a single thing to post about every single day.
So I didn't bother. Now, the ugly truth will come out when it's revealed that after the 24th we commenced the IVF procedure and I still didn't start back up. Oh, the shame! I'm in luck though. The stupid cycle got canceled (or converted, if you will) because I am a "poor responder". So, I should look at this as an opportunity for a second chance to divulge all the sordid details of the first round if we have to do this again.
After about a week and a half of nightly injections we've been converted to an IUI cycle due to lack of mature follicles. As in, I have two. That's all.
More to come.
