Well were do i start a long , long time ago (bout 8 months ago) we decided we wanted our family to grow just a little bit more , and tired of doing the same ole clomid treaments that were getting us no where(just made me loopy!)So i was playing around the net i came across more choices of fertility treaments, and saw this group in NJ that had great creditials so Mr.Grumpy gave me the go ahead(he only looks grumpy),so i made an appt and started our road down infertility lane.
So heres the day in review i showed up at SIRM and met our lil munchkins creator Dr.Dlugi .. so he took down my history and then exlained to me our options he said likely due to my age and that we have a child that getting preggers would be easy,Sooooo... I booked an appt for me and Mr.Grumpy... well that appt a very fun one to say the lease we found out that my system was a ok, but we did find out Grumpy had some problems, his coun was low,the motility was slow , and a very small morph prob , so right then and there he said we prob could get pg but it might be hard and instead of doing IUI's (because it would be a waste of time ) straight into the dark, dark world of IVF ....And unless you go through a cycle yourself you have no clue...finally around mid feb i started to take BCP'S then finally came the day of supression with injectable drugs, lupron and dexamethasone they were easy and then march 23 i started my stims menopur,follistim,along with the others the lupron and dexamethsone so thats 4 shots dailly in the belly ..and one oral steriod well that week was in and out of dr.d's offices finally april 1st i got to trigger!!!!! and the fun began april 3 we went in for egg retrieval!!!we got 20 eggies!!!!!!!! and the next day we got the fert report.... it went like this >>>RING...RING ...
