Not much has changed since the last blog update....except something big coming up.
I went in today for a follow up us/bw. Nothing important to report on here. Hormone levels are still high and rising but still not at the ovulation point yet (E2 is now 502.9....Monday it was 185.7). Lead follicle is up to 18mm so it's almost ready to go. Problem is that my uterine lining is a whopping 5.7mm. This is awful. And it always has been and yet they just now started saying something about it. They say around 8mm is the least they'd like it with optimum being 10-12ish and above. I was supposed to be put on Estrace to help this but I guess since I'm not doing the IUI with them they didn't think it was necessary to give me meds for this...even though they insist I could get pregnant on my own this month. Well, if my uterine lining isn't good enough there will be no implantation of embryo, thus no pregnancy. Ugh, I'm so frustrated. I'm going to try and do some natural things to increase my lining but I think whats done is done at this point.
So now that I've expressed how frustrated I am, lets talk about something good for a change. On Monday I will be seeing a different practice for a second opinion. I've wanted to do this for so long but kept with my current facility in hopes that they would listen to my concerns. Mike and I both expressed concern over my short periods and the fact we thought my hormones were always high months ago. They didn't listen or care. Months later, now they care. Too little, too late. I have a good feeling about this new place and the doctor I will be seeing. I'll make sure to update on Monday after the consult with my thoughts and feelings on the new place.
Excited for your appointment on monday! <3
