Take the Pledge! RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association

There are so many women going through this war alone:( too many women:( educate yourself on this subject and lend an ear to hear stories of couples going through infertility. It's a silent disease that goes un-noticed:( Let's get involved!

Started earlier than I expected

Well when my first IVF didn't work. I didn't start for 54 days! Which is not good because its a huge gap in time before you can begin your next IVF cycle. Dr. Werlin wants you to start then start again before cycling. Well this time I started pretty quickly after my negative beta, on the 15th to be exact which is good because this means we will more than likely be able to jump right into our next round:)

However my life is going to be insane for the rest of the year. I have my daughters birthday party to get through, then our next cycle, my sisters baby shower, my mom, dad, and husbands birthday, thanksgiving which is at my house, then the triplets will arrive and then finally Christmas!!!!! We want the triplets home in time for Christmas! Holy Moly thats a lot to get through in 4 short months! YIKES!

Consultation appointment set!

We have our consultation set up to meet with Dr. Werlin on August 25th. At this meeting we will discuss any changes that he might want to make to our protocol. Hopefully with a new protocol and going back to acupuncture IVF # 4 will be the lucky one. Keep praying for us please:)

Well its official Beta came back negative

So my worst fear came true, just got the call that my pregnancy test came back negative. Time to regroup before starting our 4th and final IVF. Too upset to talk to anyone right now but thank you for all the well wishes and prayers. Check back later for new info on the next cycle:(

Negative HPT

Well I poas this morning and this is what I saw:( This means most likely this round of IVF did not work. I will know for sure tomorrow after the blood test. I am completely devastated and do not understand why this did not work. I felt so different this time around and was sure that it worked.

Strange symptoms during 2 week wait

So here are the strange symptoms I am having during this two week wait.

*sore boobs
*cramping off and on
*uterus pressure
*major bloating! (seriously I look like I am 8 months pregnant)
*my taste buds are off, can not drink soda or coffee only water and Gatorade
*drinking a ton of water can not quench my thirst
*those little annoying headaches that come with a nauseous feeling
*little dizzy spells
*I am eating like crazy!!! Can't get enough food fast enough! LOL had mushroom pasta Alfredo three   days in a row for breakfast because it sounded so good. My mom was laughing at me and my sister wanted to throw up!
*having to pee in the middle of night twice!
*exhausted taking naps when I can in the afternoon
*weird pain under my ribs that comes and goes on the right side

Of course these could all be in my head for obsessing about this pregnancy also it doesn't help that my progesterone and estrogen shots could also be contributing:( Guess we will all find out soon enough:)

POAS day is tomorrow

I have two digital HPT's sitting on the counter and they are calling my name! Tomorrow morning I will either see PREGNANT or NOT PREGNANT! I am very nervous and anxious I also know that it could be negative tomorrow and I could still end up with a postive beta if my HCG levels are low. So that being said its not over till its over. Now I do have to say if I see NOT PREGNANT tomorrow morning I will be giving Dr. Werlin my husbands phone number to call with the beta results because I can not hear his tone of voice if its bad:(

Also worse case scenario if it didn't work, then I will dust myself off and jump back into round 4!

Bed Rest

Anybody who knows me also knows that I can not handle bed rest! Its horrible, and makes me insane. I have to thank my mom for coming out and staying with me for an entire week! She not only took care of me and Mia but she did laundry, cleaned and cooked! It was the best having her and we miss her already! So glad to be back in my bed and off of that uncomfortable blow up mattress! I also have to thank Luis who slept downstairs with me so I wouldn't be alone:) Also thanks to my family and friends who sent me food, and sent positive thoughts to me daily! You guys are the best!

No embryos left to freeze:(

Well I got the phone call I have been waiting for this morning. Dr. Werlin told me that we did not have any embryos left to freeze. We are staying positive because he also said that the ones inside of me are perfect:) Pregnancy test is scheduled for August 10th. Now next question is to cheat or not to cheat with a HPT on the 9th. Who am I kidding, I will be cheating. I need to know!

Embryo Transfer 7/30/11

On Saturday July 30th we went into Dr. Werlins office for our embryo transfer. We transferred, 4 embryos. 1 (eight cell) 1 (six cell) 2 (three cell) Now we need to pray for these embies to stick!
