First Visit to Tampa Clinic

This afternoon was our intake appointment with Reproductive Medicine Group. We drove an hour from Orlando to Tampa. It went well. The tests came back normal. I had to do a SIS. No polyps, fibroids, cysts. They actually did a mock transfer where they measure the size of catheter to use and the length to the cervix. Probably because any Dr can be doing the transfer depending on what day of the week they are working. This way they have a roadmap The Dr and staff are very nice. The clinic is a bit run down. Old gold frames with gaudy flowers in them. Bad floral furniture. Dr said since we are not using our own embryos she doesn't think my endo should be an issue. Doesn't recommend PGS testing. Could do more harm than good. The embryos are: 3 BB's. 2 are full blasts (day 5) and 1 is hatching (also day 5 but advanced). There is 1 BC that is full as well. (Day 5) She is on board with us only transferring 1. Since the donor has had good success.

Shots gone wrong and FB rant.

This madness called for a Facebook post tonight. To let people really see the face of infertility. Here's what I posted. "This is what infertility really looks like. Tonight was double shot night where I have to give myself 2 shots of 2 different drugs, in my ass (behind me), on my left side (I'm right handed), without help because of M's fear of needles. And this is what happens when that goes wrong. So often I struggle in silence and try my best to keep strong. But tonight my rage, frustration and sadness has gotten the best of me. I have another 7 days of this nightly routine only to go for a biopsy - not even for an attempt at a transfer. I am a real life science experiment. I post this to vent, and to bring awareness to the true struggles of infertility. Shining a light on the darkness that plagues some people's lives with no one knowing. Suffering in the shadows is part of the greatest pain." I got a huge outpouring of support and people have told...

Waiting for Biopsy Results

3 days until my biopsy and I'm feeling very anxious. This waiting in between is awful. Many of the women on my FB group have transferred this month and many have gotten their BFP's. Makes me feel like I'm not part of the 'club'. Thankfully I have my art show to keep me busy. I worked my butt off this weekend prepping and getting everything branded and ready to go. Now I'm back to the slower pace at work as well. Though that's good - it gives me too much time to wonder and worry I guess.

Got my new protocol today.

Well. Things are moving along! I got a call from the ART lab in Florida today. They have sent my protocol to HFI and my prescriptions to a pharmacy in Ohio. I am to get my ultrasound and blood work on January 16 at HFI. Then wait for CD1 and we have a projected transfer date of February 10!
