How a 30 Something Girl is dealing with everyday Life and Infertility

I'm learning who I am, my battle with Infertility and other everyday ramblings.

October update


So much has happened since I last wrote.

Cycle one with Fermara was a bust. I O’d but we missed the get BD timing.

This next month should be a lot better. Now that I know it will happen :D

I got the second HSG done and boy oh boy was it crazy. Keep in mind I had one done in March this year so this was the second one I have had done in the past 6months. I went to UBC to get it done because the Specialist wanted me to have a focused exploration on the right tube, as that was the one that went into spasms during the last HSG.

Unknown to me the hospital just booked a regular HSG and not a specialized one. So when I got there it was a huge mess. I went from thinking it was going to be an easy test to having to be sedated and taking antibiotics. I got the whole deal. The IV, the O2, the suppository (not fun) plus the added fun of a stay in the hospital for an extra 2 hours just in case I had a reaction to the sedation. In the end all things were clear so both tubes are wide open! I left the hospital with a DO NOT do list for the next couple days. No making decisions (HA HA Mr.), No Heavy lifting, No Driving for 24-48 hours after the “surgery”. I still find myself a little tired but that’s because I have a bad response to drugs that make you sleepy. I take an antihistamine and I’m napping for hours.

The other big news is I am moving! I get to live with Mr again. Whoot Whoot! I have to say I am excited but also worried. I mean we have been living apart for almost a year and half with the Mr. doing his thing, and me doing mine. We have too different versions on what ‘Clean” is, ha ha just like most married couples. I’m also scared that I wont make it over on the main land with my job. I mean I love my job but what if I have been doing things wrong on the island and they have just not said anything? I guess the next couple months will be a learning experience for me.

I’ll keep writing.

Femara Worked

Here's a quick update of what's going on.

On Sept 29 2011 I was at CD21 and got my Progesterone tested. It came back as 9 nmol/L which is much better than the <2 nmol/L I have been getting over the last year. I called the clinic asking if the Dr. had gotten my results back and he said that 9 was really low and wanted to test again in a week.

Test number two happened on Oct 5 2011 with the end results being 70 nmol/L . The Dr from the clinic said that I had a good healthy strong "O". So the Femara works!

Now for the first time in my life I am doing the 2 week wait to test to see if we are pregnant.
I'm scared. I keep hoping that this will be it, after over 2 years of trying, we will finally be on our way to having a child.

I'll let you know what happens in the next couple weeks.
