This is the story of our journey towards parenthood. My husband and I dream of bringing home a healthy baby, and have been trying for over 5 years now with little more than heartbreak. For many months now I have been preparing myself physically and mentally for this 5th IVF attempt and wish to share my story with those who continue to have hope for the future in the wake of devastation.

Growth
I have had growth. The right ovary was "ready", with a total of 13 follicles, several large enough that I had to start yet a fourth injectable, Ganerelix, to stop me from ovulating. I wasn't scheduled to begin the Ganerelix until tomorrow, but looks like everything has been moved up. My left ovary was camera shy, as usual. It is a little higher up than the level that the ultrasound can easily access, so trying to get a good view of it is always painful. This time it was nearly invisible, but we could see a faint outline of 4 small follicles. Another round of blood draws and ultrasounds again tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteI wish you success this cycle. Thank you for stopping by my blog. As you might know, my journey was six years. I had to decide how badly I wanted to be a mother and what I was willing to do to make that happen. I also had to figure out why I wanted to be a mother. That helped me to make better decisions on what was right for me. Dob't give up hope. My hope for you is that this cycle is smooth and easy with a baby at the end of it.
