Trouble TTC

XP: My RE follow-up visit and good-bye (long)

After the u/s she said that the cysts have shrunk (shrank?) to half the size they were when they were causing me sooo much pain.  That is great news!  Since they were still there, she went ahead and put me on BCPs for a month; then we?ll go back in on CD3 (in Aug sometime).  We have decided to go ahead and do our final IUI?and final treatment altogether.  IVF was not in our plan - for several reasons - so this will be the end of the line for us in the TTC w/assistance department. 

 

If I get the ?all clear? in August it will be our ?Hail Mary? IUI.  There were many, many tears (from both of us) last night as we sat down and digested everything the RE went over with us.  We both felt very strong about this decision and we needed to make sure that neither of us would have any regrets down the road from now?and we don?t - which (luckily) that hasn?t changed during this whole lengthy TTC process. 

 

We sort of knew we were behind the 8-ball (so to speak) when it came to having kids anyway?our ?advanced? age, previous tubal pg and tube removal, etc. etc.  Not to mention, our 3 yr TTC anniversary is in Sept?so, sadly, it?s time.  We?ll be going back to basics?I?ll get my body back from all the extra hormones & meds  I?ve been dumping into it?sex won?t feel like a chore (for lack of a better word)?no peeing on sticks?no more needles or pills, etc. etc.  We will still TTC naturally?but with no pressure.

 

So, I just wanted to let you all know that I?ll be stepping back from bumping?lurking more (I may need some weaning time) but definitely cheering you all on!!          ::muah::

  • Oh sweetie, my heart is breaking for you. 

    I hope that the BCPs do their job and you get to have your IUI in August.  My greater hope is that you get your BFP shortly after.
