I am happy to be trying again, worried, and I also wonder if I should have waited another month so that hopefully my healthy eating will somehow provide the miracle we are so desperately hoping for.
I had a difficult time after our first appointment this round.
Looking back, I realize I started getting emotional before I even got to our appointment. Then, after our doctor reviewed what happened last time, I was a mess.
Our doctor reiterated that I had been on the highest drugs possible but had been a 'poor responder'. She then asked what we wanted to do. Did we wanted to try again or did we want to move onto next steps.

We decided that we wanted to try a couple more times before moving on and using an embryo from another couple.
I guess I had been hoping for some enthusiasm from her, but we really didn't get any. ( I understand that she deals with infertile couples constantly and that she can't guarantee anything, but a little bit of optimism would have been appreciated.)
After the appointment I was feeling really defeated and guilty. As I have mentioned before, I have struggled with the fact that I may be preventing Chris from having his own biological child.
The one blessing that came out of all this was that Chris and I had a really good discussion after we got home. I asked him if we weren't able to get pregnant if he would want for us to use an egg from my sister, or a stranger, so that it would be his own biological child. Without hesitation, Chris responded no because no matter what it would be OUR child and he didn't care if it had our DNA.
As my good friend Jane said, I picked a good one!
I can't even begin to express how much stress lifted off of me.
So here we are starting our second round. I've had my first blood work and ultrasound which turned out ok. I have a cyst on my left ovary, however, it isn't producing estrogen so we were good to go.
I've taken two days of shots and have my next blood work and ultrasound on Wednesday. Here's hoping for better results this time around.
I'm praying for you Lori! I'm glad for this update! Thank you for keeping us all posted so we can support you and Chris in whatever way you need! This is gonna be the one!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Tiffany! I couldn't ask for more support from you and the rest of my friends and family!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! For those over 40 looking to get pregnant, if you can afford it, buy this book: Pregnancy Miracle. Available in digital format as well here.
ReplyDeleteWell first of all, it's not just an infertility cure program, it shows you how to get pregnant fast. It worked beautifully for me n hubby :)
This may seem like semantics or wordplay at first, but once you've read just the first chapters, there will be no doubt in your mind that pursuing "help with your pregnancy" is not only the wrong goal, it may be the reason that you've failed to get pregnant until now.Pregnancy Miracle shows you exactly why you should fix the internal problem that's hindering your chances of getting pregnant and then goes on to show you exactly how to do it.Secondly, what makes Pregnancy Miracle different is the amount of attention that is paid to each and every element required to get pregnant the natural way.

The Pregnancy Miracle book focuses on 100% natural method for getting pregnant quickly. That means there aren't recommendations for harsh prescription drugs or surgeries with nasty side effects.
Because the Pregnancy Miracle program is [b]not a quick fix ‘fairy tale’ cure but a complete holistic solution aimed at eliminating the root cause of fertility problems[/b](regardless of your age) and ensure your will get pregnant quickly, it does take work and persistence to complete. "The dictionary is the only place success comes before work" says Lisa, as she emphasizes the "no quick fix" philosophy behind the entire book.Anyone and everyone who wants to get pregnant naturally and regain their natural inner balance will benefit from Pregnancy Miracle.
