So I am so frustrated with my body right now! I just need to vent . . .
So 7/19/11 I got a BFN on my second IVF. I was hoping I could just jump right into my next IVF cycle. My RE was ok with it.
But my insurance co makes me do yearly CD 3 BW. Since I had just come off a medicated cycle my E2 was super elevated. My RE wasn't concerned since he knew why. But the insurace co said I had to take a month off and have a natural AF.
Ok, fine, I was pushed out a month because of my insurance comany.
But then . . . I was expecting AF to come in about 30 days after my IVF related AF. It never came. I had a freaking 56 day cycle!?!?!? During that time I had a "missed menses" work up. They found that I had not O'd. But my lining was thick. I had the choice to wait it out or take progesterone (oral) for a week and when I come off I should have AF. I choose to take the progesterone.
Ok fine, I was pushed back a second month because my body refused to AF.
So AF finally came and I went in TODAY for my CD 3 BW and US. And guess what . . . I have a cyst! So now I have to waite a third month!
I was a little confused. How could I have a cyst if I hadn't O'ed?!?!? My nurse said that after I came for my missed menses eval I developed the cyst (and I may had o'ed then. I'm also annoyed with myself because I didn't chart these first 2 "off" months, and now I wished I had because I think it would have helped me understand what was going on with my body a little better. I'm going to chart this month - just so I know what's going on!
Seriously if I would have know my stimms would be starting 3 months later than I had thought, I would have gone on a DIET or something to loose all this stupid IF related weight I've gained. Maybe that's what I'll do over the next couple of weeks just to keep my mind off of things!

Got pregnant on our own without Fertility Treatments - January 2016! Thank you snow storm Jonas!
EDD 10/15/16
At 20-week anatomy scan found IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction), and very low Amniotic Fluid. Now, I'm High Risk and have weekly ultrasounds to monitor fluid and growth. If baby runs out of room or is too growth restricted, they will deliver ASAP. My current goal is to make it to 28 weeks!
