Here we go!

It seems like things are starting to fall into place finally.  After not getting approval for IVF and resubmitting 3 times we were approved but the insurance company gave dates that had passed and if I were to start IVF last cycle it would have been messed up........ So they revoked the approval until I started a new cycle and had a confirmed BFN then I would need to submit again.  Talk about hoops!  Well we did it and finally yesterday it did go through.  I got the birth control pill before approval because insurance covers that anyway so no delay on that.

I am now on cycle day 13.  I have to take the pill until Cd 21 (June 8).  On Cd 18 (June 5) we start Lupron injections.  THEN when I start my period or June 18 (whichever comes first) I go in for blood work and ultrasound.  I don't know what will come after that yet, well I know more shots and more blood work and ultrasounds until I have my multitudes of eggs ready to be retrieved.

Only after a movie and a relaxing night last night am I starting to feel a bit more relaxed.  I must say that birth control and I DO NOT get along.  I have been a mess.  I have a foul mood all the time and my stomach is not right but I keep reminding myself it will be worth it in the end..........right :)!

CD 3

Yes this means that try # nine was also negative.  I have started birth control, the first step in IVF.  I am starting to do all my research now to see whats next.  I know 28 days of the pill and somewhere during that time I will, lets be honest, Brooke will be trained on all the shots.  I can't bring myself to do it on my own and luckily I don't have to.

I will give updates as they come but this looks more like a 2 month process from the start if not longer.

Wish me luck, maybe you should wish Brooke luck knowing what she will have to deal with :) ME

A little Off today

Well I am on cycle day 29 which for me usually means I should be having my period now.  But as you may recall from previous posts I had a D&C a couple months ago.  After that my cycle went long to 31 days, but that was correct considering when I ovulated.  Now to this cycle if my ovulation was correct I should start my period Friday, making this cycle 32 days.
I have had no symptoms.  I did POAS this morning and it was a BFN.  I am not surprised but a little disappointed.  I am also just surprised at how far off my cycle is this time.  Everything I feel now I just assume it's my period.  I am moody and I know it.  I wish I wasn't but don't try to tell me that or I'll bite your head off for sure :)
I guess only time will tell.  I am ready for IVF.  I am thankful I even have the option.  Happy thoughts till Friday.
