Yesterday I took my last BCP. We are now officially waiting for AF to show up so we can get this show (back) on the road! I called into Dr. Smiles' office and they have placed my follistim order. I've talked to the pharmacy and they have charged me insane amounts of money and sent the meds to the doctor's office. I sent my autoimmune test results to Dr. Smiles although I'm not sure he's really looked at them, yet, or if it will make a difference. (All other results came back normal except for the ANAs and I plan on chatting with him about that when I'm there next.) I officially reactivated my Fertility Friend account (yay data!) and I'm ready to go.
Do you know that it has been almost exactly a year since I last had a treatment cycle? I was blown away when I realized that. My last Femara/IUI cycle started March 6, 2010. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was driving back and forth for u/s once or twice a week and worrying about scheduling appointments and figuring out how to deal with missed classes. I don't know how it has been a year since I've felt like I was *really* trying.
This year has gone by so quickly. About 1000 times faster than the first year and a half of TTC.
Thank you all for your comments on my last post. I'm still working on trying to find a balanced perspective.
And, I am incredibly anxious to take this next step. Within the next week we will be pulling out the "mid to large sized guns." ;) This could be it.
And, if it isn't, I know it isn't the end of the world. There is more out there -- both in TTC world and in the rest of the world.
That's a great attitude!
ReplyDeleteI really do hope that this next step is THE step.
YAY! It's finally time to get started! I cannot believe it's been a year since your last cycle, but wow, so much has happened since then. Hoping that this.is.it!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I'm starting to know how it feels. I feel like we haven't been trying in FOREVER.
ReplyDeleteHow high were your ANAs? They were one of the only positive things for me, too. Mine are 1:640. My doctor told me to take prednisone during my pregnancies and put me on baby aspirin, I don't know if yours will do the same?
I hope this is your last (and most successful) trip on the hamster wheel of treatments!! I'm keeping everything crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteWow. I can't believe it's been a year. I hope this next step gets you everything you've ever wanted. I am so rooting for you, Rebecca. (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteWow, a year? I guess that means its been about a year since I started following your blog which is INSANE. We're like super old friends now and stuff. :) I'm so excited that you're back into it. I think 2011 is going to be a very good year for you!

ReplyDeleteWOO-HOO for the last BCP and also for pulling out the mid to large size guns and most of all for the zen attitude you've got goin on =) I've got everything crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it has been a year. I'm so happy the BCPs are over! I've got everything crossed that this cycle is the one,
ReplyDeleteGlad you've wrapped up the BCPs - we'll be on very close schedules - I just started stims today.

Wow - it's time already? Time sure does fly fast! And it's been a year since treatments? Amazing! Good luck, my dear. I hope it's the first cycle that sticks!!!
