With April's AF, mid-April, we'll begin our cycle.
I hope time goes by quickly.
Happy spring. ]]> Elihu http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/elihu/68018-minor-surgery-went-well.html http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/elihu/68071-surgery.html Fri, 25 Mar 2005 03:12:30 GMT My RE put me on hormones to try and shrink the polyp, but the darn thing grew, so I'm having surgery on Friday (4/1); RE explained that when I get AF mid April, then we can start my cycle (BCP's on day three). I won't know my specific protocol until April AF.
I think I am being very patient; it looks as though we won't transfer until the end of May!
I have been deleted off of two wonderful charts--March and April.
Happy Easter!
More news later. . . . ]]> Elihu http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/elihu/68071-surgery.html http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/elihu/68208-call-re-today-regarding-upcoming-surgery.html Fri, 04 Mar 2005 03:44:07 GMT I've hit another little bump in the road to IVF #2--surgery is scheduled for April 1, 2005. On March 21, 2005, is my preop appt. and another sonohistogram.
Here's the thing: the IVF nurse told me that I might have to wait longer for my cycle because I will have been on the pill for a couple of months, and she said that prolonged pill use can make my ovaries not respond as well when I start stims.
I can't believe it! I need to be patient (I keep telling myself that).
I know it's better if everything is in order.
I hope that I will still be with the April Baby Showers group. . . . who knows, it might even be May!
I told the nurse that it's so hard because once we saved the $, we wanted to go, go, go--now we have to wait, wait, wait.
Love and friendship to all,

I'm glad it was discovered, but I was so ready to get started.
I find out my surgery date on Monday.
I will update next week.
Cheers :hug: ]]> Elihu http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/elihu/68274-oh-no-not-again-what-odds.html http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/elihu/68291-looks-like-cycle-starting.html Tue, 22 Feb 2005 22:47:57 GMT I started BCP's on Monday--21 days and then shortly after that, Baseline U/S and then I begin stimming around 3/17/05.
I am having a sonohistogram on Thursday, so I am remaining positive that there's nothing wrong with my uterus. If there is, I will cycle in April 2005.
I have been so sick for about a week now--I have walking pneumonia and a sinus infection. Whew, I don't think I have ever felt so run down. The first antibiotic gave me hives, and the second one made me throw up all night long--the third one seems to be OK. I do think that the BCP's have made me sick to my stomach, but it's hard to tell right now.
I will update after Thursday's appt.
Love to all! :hug: ]]> Elihu http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/elihu/68291-looks-like-cycle-starting.html http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/elihu/68372-february-13-2004-friday-10-00am.html Sun, 13 Feb 2005 21:21:16 GMT On this date last year at 10:00am I called my husband, who was teaching, to tell him that he was going to be a dad.
What a sad day today is. . .realizing that he doesn't have a child of his own, one year has already gone by and wondering if I will ever say those words again.
It's been a painful year. ]]> Elihu http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/elihu/68372-february-13-2004-friday-10-00am.html http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/elihu/68388-waiting-begin-ivf-2.html Sat, 12 Feb 2005 20:19:53 GMT This upcoming week AF will be here; I will begin BCP's; and I will have a sonohistogram, probably on Thursday, 2/24/05.
I have found that my outlook on life is becoming more positive; I am looking forward to cycling again.
DH and I waited a year; it's been rough, but things look hopeful.
I think that keeping a blog will be helpful for this cycle. ]]> Elihu http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/elihu/68388-waiting-begin-ivf-2.html
