Infertility

Fun appt this morning

So this is my monitoring cycle just to ensure all is ok to proceed with our first DIUI next month. Go in this morning and the nurse always pulls up my info and then leaves me to change and wait for the doctor. So I am sitting there and staring me in the face on the ultrasound screen is a pic of another girl's ute with my exact same name and of course she is PG. I mean, it was pretty glaring. I'm like yep, that's a baby right there. Doc comes in and I'm like "ummm so what the heck is that?" and he says "Oops!! That's another patient. And yes, that's a baby." Not even an apology! I love my RE and I know mistakes happen but come on..that was just fab. I'm like yes, let's switch screens..oh, yep, there's that nice empty ute. That's me. Ugh.

    You're right, I should have said that. Clearly he didn't catch the sarcasm in my voice when I asked him that..it was less of a question and more of a "switch screens NOW" kind of thing.

  • That sounds awful... I have a hard time keeping my thoughts to myself and prob would have said something like 'yes, that's my empty uterus...'

    And hopefully would have been able to contain myself and not say, 'and yes, you're an idiot!'

  • Wow...that's horrible. I hate that I have to see my uterus so many times empty SadI was really hoping that the first time I saw it, there would be a lil bean in there. Hopefully soon for all of us!

    **TTC #1 Sep 2009-Feb 2013**   Me: 33 DH: 32 (healthy, SA = normal)

    DX (May 2010) = Lap #1 showed Stage I-II endometriosis. HSG normal. Tx with 6 mo Lupron (which did nothing...) Lap #2 June 2011 to remove endo, uterine fibroid, and polyp

    IUI #1-#3 (July-Sep 2011): All Clomid 50 mg + unmonitored IUI = All BFN

    October 2011 - April 2012: Outta $$$ (no insurance coverage) = back to tryin' on our own

    May 2012 - August 2012: Mental break from trying

    October 2012: New OB. Bloodwork normal aside from slightly low progesterone

    November 2012: IUI #4: Letrozole 2.5 mg + Novarel trigger + monitored IUI + progesterone = BFN

    IVF #1: Long Lupron Protocol,Menopur,Follistim, ER = 2/12/13 27R/26M/23F

    2/17/13 Transferred 1 perfect Grade 1 blast. 17 frostbabies.

    HPT 7dp5dt: BFP!!! Beta #1 9dp5dt: 108 Beta #2 11dp5dt: 368

    U/S #1 3/21: Heartbeat and one perfect bean!!  DS born 11/6/13 via c-section


    TTC #2 March - August 2015 = all BFNs

    Prep for FET #1: Aug 2015: found "mass" in uterus on saline sonogram; scheduled a hysteroscopy to remove. 

    Sept 2015: Hysteroscopy: mass turned out to be scar tissue(?), all removed. Recheck saline sonogram 2 weeks later showed "stuff" still in uterus (more scar tissue? remnants from surgery? Will see if clears with a period). Recheck saline sonogram 1 week later: all clear! Start Lupron and Estrace. Follow up u/s 2 weeks later: uterine lining only 5mm, add in patches. Follow up u/s 1 week later: uterine lining = 4.3mm (argh!), stop estrace and patches and start estradiol injections twice/week. Follow up u/s 2 weeks later: uterine lining = 5mm :/ Instructed to keep on estradiol injections and recheck in 5 days = lining still at 5mm. Need to make a decision - go for it? Or toss in the towel w/ this cycle and start all over again next year with a new protocol. Decided to go for it as we had 17 frosties; what have we got to lose?? 

    12/2/15 = transferred 1 perfect Grade B blast

    12/9/15 = HPT - BFP!!!!

    Beta #1 12/11/15: 236    Beta #2  12/14/15: 503   Please stick little one!!!!

    U/S scheduled for week of 1/4/16
