Cheeks's Journal, 31 July 2008

Been feeling pretty good, and emotions in check, which has been good :) The extra meds only seemed to affect me the first few days, but then seemed to level out. Went in for my blood work and ultrasound this morning, so we'll see what that brings. I'm not overly hopeful as the nurse said that she saw only 1 egg developing on one side…so I'm bracing myself that when we get the call later today that they will tell us that we need to stop again…but, who knows, I'm not a doctor, and they might surprise me with good news =) Trying to stay positive, but we just haven't had good news since we started this journey. I'm just ready for some answers/decisions on the IUI cycle. I think the hardest thing by far with this fertility thing is the waiting….and waiting….and waiting.

Keep your fingers crossed that we get some news to continue with the shots, as it would bring us closer to completing our first full cycle!

My prayers are with you! One egg is all you need to make a baby :) Maybe that one egg the nurse saw is a good sign. Hang in there. I know the waiting must be killer.

((cry)) First off, THANK YOU. Unfortunately, even with all your positive energy, it just wasn't in the cards for me to go the IUI or IVF route I guess. I just got the call the doctors office, and they told us we needed to discontinue again. Apparently I was at a 62 after over a week…and generally with this high of dosage, I should have been into the 1000's. I’m TRYING to find the positive in all of this. I mean, I go into it feeling like I'll be okay with the news, and then you hear them say it, knowing this was the last time, and then poof…that dream is out the door. I always seem to go through a sadness and grieving process with each step, so I know that this too shall pass….BUT…quite frankly, this SUCKS. So I'm sitting at work, wanting to just cry, but keeping up a good front as to not let others see that I'm upset, and trying to focus. So now the waiting game begins again. I'm waiting to hear from the doctor on the next step, which is donor egg, but the official meeting isn't until August 11th. I'm going to try and talk her into doing the visit via phone, so we can just move on. Enough waiting, I'm done waiting. On the bright side...at least I know I have one egg developing...so maybe we'll be lucky enough anyway.

Aw, hun. I'm so sorry you had to stop the program again. Miracles do happen, though. I hope and pray that God sees fit to turn that one egg into the baby you've been working so hard to have. *hugs*

HUGGGGS I'm sorry you are getting the not so good news. Yes, there is a silver lining, even if you don't know what it is just yet. It will come.. you will be blessed, I know it. How and when are the questions that only God knows. Have faith and count your blessings for today, it will help brighten your day! :) I am sure that you will find the path laid for you and happiness!! Relaxation is key... have a massage, glass of wine and candle lit dinner w/hubby, you never know!! =D

I feel for you.. my neighbour has two children (grown and married) but neither one of them has had any luck with providing grandchildren... the one son is now looking at adoption as they have had one miscarriage and no more pregnancies since... I agree with bullytrouble about relaxing and let nature take it's course (I know that easier said than done)... If it should be.. it will... "hugs" and prayers are attached.... Keep smiling

I'm so very sorry... I know that nothing anyone can say will make it better... I'm sorry.

I too am sorry that things are not working out as you had hoped. Thank goodness you are in such good hands medically and that you have such a strong support network, both through here, but most importantly at home! Keep your chin up! Something will happen...something always does for good people!
