Your kidding me ? Thats all you can say !

2010-05-03T06:30:00.000-07:00

Well ppl , im out of the game before it even started i went in on fri to have my baselines done and my lining was at 10mm apparently thats not good for embyros to implant ? So i went back in an sat to have a follow u/s and my nurse was set on my lining had shed ...well guess what im still at 10 mm and now they want to do a endometrial biopsy !!! ... and im canceled !!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!

Thats it i had enough of this clinic , 1st they charged crazy charges on my credit card , it takes 2 wks to talk to someone , i left 4 messages just to get my lab results they charged me for injection class( imma nurse! that use to teach other IF'ERS) they wanted me to pay of anasthsia(sp) meanwhile my insurance will pay for it then they wanted a 1800.00 check up front for freezing even before we had er ... im gone!!!! THEY CANT BITE MY ASS!!!!!!!!!!!...and guess what they tried telling me my lining was thick cause i was pregnant!!!!!!! What!!!!! hmmmmmm... last time i checked you have to have sex to get pg !! and in our case we need a re, embyrologist and a petri dish!!!!!!!

So im out of there and thinking of contacting the BBB ... Well i have a new re at my home clinic SIRM here i come~j

baselines.....its a bust ...so far

2010-04-30T18:52:00.000-07:00

This friday is my baselines and if everything is all good Sat we ( i mean me) start our stims... this time around my doc has choose antagonist for us ... which i thought was for poor responders or pcos ... but its a mystery why he choose this ... but if he and we fail at this cycle were jumping ship !!! something about this re and his office doesnt sit right it doesnt fell like "home" or "comfy'' ... We might go back to SIRM or head on over to Diamond .. but hopefully we wont have to think like that just yet ;) So were all ready to go !! i also brought 20 poas on A.mazon a few wks ago i will start 1dpt just to see if the ovidrel is out of my system ... I'll be back......fri ...... hopefully with the "GO" start stims till then~j

ok so im all off on counting dpo...lol so today im really 7dpo...teheee.... sitting here watching alli cat sleep and watching a baby story and crying not sure why , but i am .. i think its those crazy suppositories.....

well alli cats booboo is bleeding but i think its from here car seat nothing has changed w/laundry soap or lotions but i think its the harnest of her car seat ,yesterday after picking up kid vid she had bled through her onsie and her outfit , so i think im going to make her a lil pad to wear for her carseat

HEMANGIOMAS

2009-05-12T15:22:00.000-07:00

UGH...today was one of those days .. wake up get the kiddos ready for school ...johnny was home today so he took kid vid to school i stayed home with alli cat .. she was a bit grumpy .. i blew it off as her being over tired... so then i decided to get her ready for icp review for kid vid ... and i took off her onsies then alli cat screamed in horror and wouldnt stop..her hemangioma is stil ulcerated and the fibrogen started to regenrate around her booboo and when i took off the onsie i made her bleed , the sight of blood use to make me sick now its almost a daily choir , my poor baby screams for hr on end , i wish it would heal itself but as a mommy of a child w/hemangioma i know itll get better and worse and flip flop for yrs until it resolves it self and or lasering .... but it tears me up inside to hear her scream in pain and tears streaming down my lil ones face , much less the countless lil onsies and pj that are covered in blood stains.. she was so grumpy from this cleaning that she stayed up from 8a -3pm and that never happens...i just ask for a prayer for her lil booboo's to heal or atleast the big one to heal since the other 5 hemangiomas are smaller ....

Today, im 7dpo no symptoms today except ......lol were is all this saliva coming from? ugh

As the ob walked into the room (greated by Mr.grumpy and kid vid) she was like 3 wks and no probs!!!Wellllllll i said .. this morning i think i have another kidney infection.. so she said that she'd take a culture and theyd put me on oral antibiotic, but if my cultures came back elevated ...i'd be back in the hosp for some IV TREATMENT poo . well my fingers are crossed . but all that said my finger sticks are fine and ive lost another 5 pds so all together ive lost 13 pds!! maybe i'll go back to pre stimm weight!!! when i deliver ...hey a girl can wish cant she?

still dont know if its a boy or girl till running on what 4d tech told us 90% sure its a girl, but todays visit was funny, every time the ob ran the doppler over my tummy to find Her heartbeat
she would kick , punch and swirm to a different side .Like she didnt want to be bothered ...lol like mother like daughter ... But shes a lil over 1 pd...my lil chunky monkey!!!

overview of this yr

2008-07-28T17:48:00.000-07:00

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 ... Hi jenn, this is dr.d your'e like a star here , all your eggies fertilized!!! omg this is insane i said because normal only half make it to this part,(we did icsi, its when you inject the sperm straight into the egg)i said wow really he then said he would call us a day later to let us know...well we did a 6 day transfer because they were all doin well....we transfered 2 great looking embryos one was crawling out of its zona ... now the dreaded 2 week wait ..well 9 days ..well let me tell you i eat under stress ans from retrieval till my beta i had gained 24 pds, part of it was becaus eof all the extra hormones injected into me and the steriods the rest was blue bunny ice cream ....well beta day came and we got our BFP !!! so there could possibley be 2 lurking in my uterus...well along with the good came the bad during that nite my lil cousin passed away in a horrible car accident along with his best friend....the funerals were tough on me and my body...and on the first day of his wake ...i started to bleed and me and grumpy went to the hosp went for a ultrasound and the tech saw nothing ...we thought it was over .. but my beta had rose from 872 to 1609 almost doubled in less then 24 hrs......fastforword to today 7/28/o8 i have been in and out of the hosp about 3 times i have a high risk doc , an ob , a urologist and a nutrionist taking care of me and Allison (90%girl Mr.Video game aka my son says we will reat her like a boy!) my kidney doesnt wanna function normal and i have gestational diabetes, yup im falling apart, only good thing is i havent gained any wght at all except the 24 pd durining stimm time and i lost 4 of them !!! wooohooo last time around i already gained about 30 pds by 5 months ...lol ....Well our lil petri dish babys due date is CHRISTMAS EVE but it looks like she'll be born the week of DEC 16 or so via c-section
