Fertility Updates

Well!!!.. Had 2 fertility appt yesterday....
appt 1
vaginal ultrasound..yes TMI i know...they checked to make sure my body shed its old uterus lining.. when i had my period.. also to check my ovaries for no cyst..Both came back great.. My body did what it should and needed to do.. Good news there were NO cyst.. So that appt last maybe 20min at the most...
then a few hours later went and actually seen Dr.Stewart(my fertility doctor)
talked about all the options, Clomid, Gonadotropin, iui, ifv
Well i went in thinking we were going to just do provera(help induce a period) and clomid(help ovulate) so... when she said we were going to skip that step and do provera and Gondatropin, i was shocked.. in a good way don't get me wrong.. but wow.. a big step for us....
What is Gondatropin, your probably wondering........
Gondatropin treatment involves a series of injections and careful monitoring during each treatment cycle.

**HERE IS A LITTLE INFO YOU MAY OR MAYNOT UNDERSTAND**

Treatment: What to expect

Human menopausal gonadotropins (hMG) consist of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), while urofollitropin or recombinant FSH are made purely of FSH. Whichever you choose to be injected with for seven to 12 days will translate into a dose of FSH that'll prompt your ovaries to produce several eggs, whereas you normally produce only one a month.

After you receive those shots, you'll be injected with another substance called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which will tell your ovaries to release your mature eggs into your fallopian tubes. If an egg meets up with a healthy sperm on its way to your uterus, you'll have a chance to conceive.

So...This is what we will be doing for 3-5 months... unless of course we get pregnant.. then we don't have to do it anymore...

I will be taking Provera and on day 2-3 of my period i will be starting my shots for 7-12 days..

the down fall about gonadotropin is there is a higher risk of multiple births.......but oh well what can you do...........

Also, Insurance doesn't pay for the medication so we will be paying for it out of our pocket so that sucks.. but....oh well.........

I go back to the doctor next wed, to the"teaching" class on gonadotropin and learn about it and how to give myself the shots... so exciting.. and scared!!!

But lets hope and pray it works... wouldn't it be nice if it worked after 1 round?!?!?!
keep your fingers crossed
