Last American Girl Standing: Impatience

Impatience

I'm struggling today. I know that the day will go by quickly once I get home and study. And once I go to sleep, we wake up and check on the eggies. Logically, I know that, but at the moment, it just feels like this is taking soooooooo long. I'm ready. We're ready. Let's just hurry this up already, k? I don't want to wait for Baby(ies) A any longer. It's time.

Baaaaah. Blogger just ate my comment.

Anyways, I was talking about how I know this waiting business sucks really bad, but that it's ALMOST OVER.

Your ovaries are doing a phenomenal job making these eggies (can't rush perfection!)!

Good luck at your appointment tomorrow, and hopefully we'll be reading news of a trigger shot very soon!

I know what you mean - I have my egg-check tomorrow, too! Although my fate is more of a mystery than yours at the moment! I am sooooooo excited for you and your lucky 13! Hope you trigger tomorrow!
Love,
Maddy

Good Luck today!

Our TTC History

~1998: At the age of 15, a gyn suspects I have endo after being hospitalized for abdominal pain. I'm put on bcp to control it.

April '03: After numerous bladder issues and a full work-up, it's suspected the endo is on my bladder. Lap performed during break from college. Endo on my uterosacral ligaments, bladder, cul-de-sac. Ovaries, tubes, and uterus are clear - YAY!

Apr - Sep '03: 6 months of Lupron. Ick, ick, ick.

Sep '03 - Aug '06: Various forms of bcp to keep periods away. In Aug, I decide enough is enough and stop the bcp. I have two normal cycles, and my period disappears for 6 months.

Jan '06: I move to NYC from Philly, and TH and I start dating.

Jan '07: Start seeing Erika, the acupuncturist, to get my period back. Docs want to give meds, but I think meds are the reason TOM is on hiatus and refuse. I see a series of not so great gyns. I move into TH's apt with two other guys.

Mar '07: Erika works her magic, TOM is back!

May '07: TH and I are in our first apt!

Aug '07: TH proposes!

Nov '07: We're married!

Mar '08: We stop preventing but aren't officially trying. It takes a few months of therapy for me to finally agree...we're trying. I'm scared to death after all the "sooner rather than later", "you'll need IVF to get pregnant", and other BS statements given to me via shitty gyns in the last ten years.

Jul '08: Officially TTC. Let the temping begin! (And, of course, I get a cyst that makes this cycle ~50 days. I should have known...)

Dec '08: Back pain suspected to be another cyst turns out to be herniated disc. Lap scheduled with Dr. O for excision of endo. Septate uterus is found sometime in the fall. (How many people missed this in all these years?!)

Jan '09: I get a full work-up for the lap. We shop around for a new RE but decide to stick with the original one.

Feb '09: Endo removed, no bowel resection needed. Left tube could be blocked or was spasming during surgeries. *breath of relief*

Mar '09: HSG reveals tubes are clear! I resist the hysteroscopy b/c I'm not ready for another surgery and am not convinced the septum is a problem, as I've never m/c. TH's SA comes back all clear.

Apr '09: We move into our new apartment once renovations are complete. We're homeowners! We also conceive but the baby can't implant. We never see a positive HPT, but we're devastated.

May '09: Hysteroscopy corrects the uterine septum. We're good to go...but no positive test...

Sep '09: Our first medicated cycle. I have an allergic rxn to Gonal.F and we switch to Follistim. Moderate OHSS post-IUI. I'm also start grad school. (Epic FAIL...the cycle, not school)

Dec '09: Chemical pregnancy on a Clomid/IUI cycle. Sadness. Found out I'm heterozygous for MTHFR.

Jan '09: IUI #3 = FAIL. Here comes IVF...

Mar '10: IVF#1 results in a chemical pregnancy. Diagnosed with abnormal fertilization by the sperm. Wha?!

Apr '10: Bring on IVF#2. All retrieved eggs to have ICSI. Scratch that. RE/lab fuckup results in regular fertilization. 15 mature eggs retrieved, 7 fertilize on their own. Grade 3 BB and BC blasts transferred. Beta#1 30.3. Beta #2 79.3. Beta #3 158. We're having a baby! :D

Jan '11: Babel arrives at 39 weeks after 30 hours of labor. He weighed 7lbs 3oz and was 21.5" long. He has the most kissable cheeks his mama has ever seen.
