  • It's Over

    Thursday, September 18, 2008 | A Painful story

    It's over girls... my lining was only about a 4 and I had one follicle.  I don't know what my E2 is, but it really doesn't matter.  This cycle is going to be cancelled and then they are going to tell me I am in premature ovarian failure at 33. 
    I am trying not to be devestated, but I am.
    This is the end of the road for us... I have no eggs, DH has no sperm.  We hav...

    Monday, November 10, 2008 | A Sad story

    Well.. this is going to sound pathetic but I am sitting here at work crying my eyes out at my desk.  First I have to say that prometrium makes me crazy.  I take it orally and about an hour after I take it I get so sleepy, dizzy and completely out of my mind.  It is like I am a zombie and I just hate it.  Second I am having horrible awful cramps.  These are like the endome...

  • Devestation..

    Thursday, July 24, 2008 | A Sad story

    Well... I went in for my sono today and things are not good.  First of all I started spotting brown blood today, not sure what that is all about.  When I went in for my sono I had ONE follicle... One.  5 days of Reponex 150 & 4 Days of Follistim at 325 and I made ONE follicle.  I made the same thing that any normal women makes unmedicated.  They are waiting for my E2 ...

  • Worst and saddest day of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Friday, October 9, 2009 | A Tragic story

    Well, I received the news about 1 1/2 ago and I've spent these almost 2 hours outside my office in tears with my DH and my Mom! We had one little emby that survived out of the 5 matture eggs, and it is now gone! I feel like I've lost my little girl (always thought it was a she)! My nurse said AF will start in the next few days. Once it does if we are ready for another cycle, I would start...

    Alicia, how can you be dead?
    I cannot comprehend it!
    My heart hurts more than you can imagine
    More than you will ever know!
    Alicia, how can you be dead?
    I look at your picture
    And I see you there
    I see your smile
    Your joy in life
    I want you back in Colorado
    Enjoying your friends
    Enjoying your life
    Alicia, how could you be dead?
    What does that mean?
    I cannot comprehend it!
    How can you be dead?
    How is that possi...

  • f/u u/s for ovarian cysts

    Monday, September 22, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    So today was my follow up ultrasound for ovarian cysts from a couple months ago.  My appt is 11am and since my bladder wasn't full enough the last time and since that delayed my appt I was sure to drink plenty of water (42 oz to be exact) in plenty of time so I'd be ready to go.  I got there and checked in at the front desk and handed over my Dr order and insurance card at 10:40...

    Thursday, July 24, 2008 | A Venting story

     There are really two parts to this journal one is my update and the other is to vent about my horrid new neighbors. I have been feeling REALLY out of it, and last night and today are no exceptions. Barry came over last night, we watched Batman to get ready for The Dark Knight this weekend.  Went out to Chilis for dinner and I ate too much, and felt sick.  I slept for crap last nig...

  • Scared..

    Thursday, June 12, 2008 | A Venting story

    Freaking out a little bit again.. Since I have started this whole IVF thing it is starting to take over my mind.  I am just so damn scared it is not going to work.  I have been reading the posts about the girl with Asherman's Syndrome and now I am freaked.  I had a ton of scarring on the inside of my uterus and there was no explanation ever given to me.  I have never ...
