Slow and Steady wins the follicle

Well...not much happening in ovary land, so we are increasing my dose to 125 units/day. No reason to get overly zealous with my dose right now, so 125 it is. I guess we will see if any progress has been made on Tuesday. Fingers crossed! Last year it took 14 days of injections before my follicles were ready to go. I have a feeling we are on the same path. But...that's okay.

  2. I was going to say, is your cycle shorter when you're on the injectibles? I finally got the O sign on my monitor- day 16. Hope you're weekend is going well. Wish I had the funds, I'd fly out to have lunch with you and Courtney. :)

    Love the title of this post. It describes my situation perfectly!

  4. Grow follies grow! So, what time is your appointment on Tuesday? Perhaps we'll cross paths...we visit Dr. N at 9:45 for the bean's nuchal translucency scan. I'm thinking so many positive thoughts in your direction, Kate! Hope your 125u Follistim does it's thing and you get to where you need to be soon. I know Zoelle will be so happy to have a little brother or sister to look out for from above, and you and Tim will be such amazing parents.

  5. Hi, Kate,
    I found your link on Brenna's blog and was interested to see that you, too, (a) lost a little girl halfway through your pregnancy and (b) are in the midst of Follistim shots with this cycle. I am, too, although we are doing IVF for the first time. I will be following along with you and hoping for three perfect eggs for you. (BTW, that is what we had in our pregnancy with Follistim + IUI - and we got three perfect babies out of it. We lost them almost four months ago due to a horrible infection that nearly killed all four of us.) Good luck in your Tuesday appointment. I will check back for the good news. :)

2nd Beta!

Well, my 2nd beta on Wednesday was 308! Super excited! Who knows...there might just be two lucky charms in there. Everyone seems to think we are having twins...even my very fabulous IVF nurse. Only time will tell. One...two...whatever happens, I am just so excited to be pregnant. We have our first u/s on March 22nd where we will see how many we have and hear the little heart beat/s. Yay!! As of right now I have been feeling wonderful! I am having a bit of nausea here and there, but not too bad. I didn't get sick one time when I was pregnant with Zoe, so we will see. For now, just the normal early pregnancy symptoms and I LOVE IT! I can hardly wait to meet this little bean in 35-36 weeks from now! :-) So the count down begins...17 more days until our first u/s. Unlike my pregnancy test...I can't cheat and head to the office early for this one. What is a girl to do...ha!

My Beta

So...my level today was 108!!! The nurse said that was a perfect, healthy number...not too high, not too low. Chances are good we have one little charm in there. Which is PERFECT. We won't know for sure until our u/s...but I have been thinking it's one...and a boy. I feel really connected to a little boy, and awhile ago, Zoe came to me in a dream and said we were going to get pregnant with one baby, a little boy, and things were going to be fine. :-) Sweet little baby of mine...comforting her momma even in spirit. It's strange to be pregnant right now...It doesn't feel real quite yet. It does, but it doesn't. I feel really secure about this pregnancy...almost at peace. I feel deep in my heart we are going to bring home a living baby. It's will be strange to be a mother of 2, one in spirit and one here on Earth. I love Zoelle so deeply, and miss her with each breath I take. I wish she was here to share in the joy of this new life. At the same time, the new life

Dear Uterus

Dear Uterus, In less then two weeks our second pregnancy begins. Please keep our little embryo's safe and nestled tightly in your womb. I promise to provide you with proper nutrients, vitamins and water. Please stay relaxed and happy! A happy uterus makes for a happy mother. :-) I would greatly appreciate you behaving for at least 37 weeks. Dear uterus, I would like you to recite this mantra over and over..."I am like velcro! I am like velcro!" We can do this! Please be gentle with our little peanuts...this means the world to us. Thanks Uterus! Love, Your body!
