One more day till we leave for vacation!! I cant wait. Really, I need to get out of here!!
My job is making me crazy - and I just got bad IF news.
So I went in yesterday for my first IUI. Everything went smoothly, but for the first time I had really bad cramping later in the day. I almost didn't make it to my aerobics class, but I sucked it up and went anyways. Totally felt better afterwards and was glad that I went in the end.
Today I went in for my second IUI. Again all went off without a hitch. But it was the consultation that scared me in more ways than one. So I sat down with my RE to go over my options since IUI's with Clomid aren't working for me. I HAVE to go onto IUI's with Inj's. Due to insurance reasons, I have to try Inj's a few times before they let me move onto IVF. I know this isn't that big of a deal, but my RE said that if it were up to him he would move me right onto IVF.
He then explained how they do testing to see if IUI's with Injs has more of a success rate than the IUI's with Clomid..but of course they only test it with women with endrimetriosis or unexplained...not PCOS. He also told me that most women with PCOS will have success by the first 3 IUI's and that's when he suggests moving onto something else.
Then he mentioned something that I DIDN'T want to hear. He told me that there is a possibility that my eggs are no good!!! That just sucks! He did say that every women has eggs that will not be good, but there is no way to find out just how many. The only way they will find out is through IVF. I just want to do IVF already!!! I cant stand this anymore.
Here's the Kicker too...my RE is leaving in 6 WEEKS!! I just cant believe it. Just when I was getting used to him, and grown fond of. I know that I had that one mishap, but I am sure that he was just having a bad day, we all do. I don't want to get used to another RE. He also told me the name of the other RE that will be replacing him...figures I think he is creepy and don't want him anywhere near me!!!
This sucks...I am just happy I am getting out of here for a week, its the only good think I have to focus on right now...BAHAMAS HERE I COME!!

Ashley,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the IUI's went well! I hope it doesn't come to the point where you have to go to IVF. I feel like I'm in the same boat as you. I would love to move right on to IVF too. Have SO much fun on your vacation. What a perfect time to go, during your 2ww. Good luck!
I'm glad the IUI's went well, dunno if I would have went to an aerobics class afterwards though.....those little men need all the help they can get. Make sure you go home tonight and relax. No more aerobics!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Vaca! Can't wait to hear all about it. BTW totally stinks about your RE. It is possible that IUI w/injects could work for you, so don't give up hope yet!
I'm so sorry about what the RE said. Im' sure that is not the case with you! Glad your IUI's went off without a hitch! Hope you have a wonderful vacation and come back KU!!
ReplyDeleteHopefully these IUI's will do the trick and you won't need to try anything else! And woo-hoo for vacation!
ReplyDeleteHey Ashley,
ReplyDeleteJust thought I'd let you know, I have PCOS too and my dr wants to do IUI w/ injs right from the get go. I, unfortunately, have a blocked right tube, so we have to so an MRI, 2-3 IUI/inj cycles, lap, 2-3 more IUI/inj cycles, and then move on after that. The injs can do wonders for your egg production though (I'm sure you knew that!). What med will you be using?
