Here we go round the mulberry bush — again
Guess what! I’m not pregnant. The last IUI I did I really thought I was PG. I went 18dpi which is the LONGEST I’ve ever gone in my whole life. My guess it was the Prog*esteron suppositories holding the dot off. I really had one of those moments where I realized it had been that many days and HOPE was so there, front and center in my brain. We will start IVF #2 in March. I’m taking this cycle off and then on CD2 of the next dot I will go in and immediately start stims that night. That is, if my FSH and Estradial numbers are good. You see, I just got back my MIS (anti-Mulerian Hormone) test results. It was 3.2. The Dr. office wants it to be 3.5 to 4.5 so I’m a bit under the mark. My Dr. said if my FSH and Estradial are okay we will go ahead with another IVF but if they aren’t, well!!! No go I guess. I’m not even going there. My baseline numbers last year were fine and overall the IUI cycles and the IVF cycle I did the numbers were within range. I just hope that continues.
Himself and I were in Arizona visiting my family this past week. It was beautiful, gorgeous weather unlike the craziness we have in NYC right now. My younger sister has offered to either donate eggs or even do artificial ins*mination or IUI’s with us and she will have a baby for us. If we were to go that route, with her having a baby for us, I would have to adopt the baby although it would already belong to my husband. What a weird thought. My sister is 38 and though she does have proven fertility as she has three children I know at 38 she is a long-shot for us too. Ideally we would use her as an egg donor. In that vein we will move forward just gathering information. She will see an RE in AZ and do the basic CD2/3 FSH & Estradial bloodtest and an antral follicle count. Depending upon what those results tell us, we may move forward with one donor cycle and see what happens. It’s a thought.
