Happy Halloween!
But more importantly, happy birthday to my sweet precious Sydney. Today, my girlie turns 9 years old. I can't believe it!
Happy birthday, my sweet girl. Now stop growing up!

About Me
- Rainbow Momma
- I loved rainbows as a kid and always dreamed of reaching its end.
I like to talk about that pot of gold which I lovingly refer to as my life. Sometimes even when the scenery looks calm and the rainbow beautiful,
somewhere out of sight, all hell is breaking loose. Here is where I reveal what goes on behind our pretty picture.

"Wag more, bark less" ~Unknown, I saw it on a bumper sticker LOL!

In Case You're Trying to Keep Track
Oct 20 - Blood test confirmed not pregnant
Oct 18 -
HPT (9dp3dt)
Oct 11 - Notified that the remaining two embryos didn't grow to blast phase, therefore could not be frozen.
Oct 9 - Transferred three embryos (one 6-cell excellent, one 6-cell excellent/good, and one 7-cell excellent). Then 48 hours of bed rest.
Oct 7 - Five of 8 eggs fertilized.
Oct 6 - Retrieval! Feeling great! They got 8, yes eight, eggs. We're pleased seeing as they'd only been talking 7 during all the ultrasounds.
Oct 4 - Ultrasound and labs - two 24mm, two 18mm, one 16mm, one 14mm, three small follicles that they'll check at retrieval (may or may not have immature eggs). Blood labs look good - HCG shot at 11:30pm.
Oct 3 - Ultrasound and labs - two 19mm, two 14mm, one 11mm, one 8mm. Blood labs indicate low progesterone (eggs not mature enough to do HCG shot yet).
Oct 1 - Ultrasound and labs - 3 follicles in the teens, one 12mm, and 3 under 10. Blood labs look good.
Sept 28 - Micro Lupron (20 units) twice a day + Bravalle/Menopur (450/75 units) once a day
Sept 26 - Micro Lupron (20 units) twice a day
Sept 22 - ultrasound and labs - antral follicles: 4-5 on R, 5-6 on L
Sept 21 - Last BCP
Sept 16 - Received meds (YIKES!)
Aug 25 - IVF Class
Ready, Set, Go! (To be updated as we go)
Appointment with the RE on July 22 to discuss the IVF process.
July 26 - Day 1
July 28 - Day 3 Labs: 6-7 antral follicle per ovary; FSH, estradiol, and LH all within normal ranges. That made the docs and techs very happy considering my age. LOL! Start birth control pills ... and wait.
