Quick glance at my history and what we are doing now

New to the group! I am 28 years old and dx with PCOS. I was also dx with diabetes at 21. I am married and have a beautiful 11 year old step daughter. My husband is 31 and we want more then anything to conceive just one child of our own. At 27 almost a year ago I was dx with pre cancer in my uterus. It was found via D&C to remove uterine polyps. My sample was sent to 3 pathologists who all agreed I was late stage  Complex hyperplaisia with atypia aka Pre cancer (due to no periods with PCOS). My wonderful doctor Dr. Baum OBGYN referred me to a oncologist to continue close monitoring. After treatment with my oncologist I had my 3rd D&C and the cancer cells were gone. That was about 6 months ago. I go back every 3 months. At my last appointment my oncologists didn't believe I had any concerns at this time and gave me the OK to start fertility treatments. After getting the OK from my diabetes doc we finally started this month! I am Cycle day 14 and have a follicle scan this afternoon. My husband and I agreed to go straight to injectable medication Gonal F. After 3 tries we will move to IVF.  That is if cancer cells stay away! With my pre cancer history my oncologist wants me to get a hysterecomy as soon as we can so I will be beyond blessed to have one child of my own!

CD 8

So, today I had my first follicle scan. I only have one small follicle (right side) so they upped my dose to 150 from 75. I have another scan at the end of the day Monday 11/14. I asked other ladies what my chances are of getting more follicles by that time and they said on that dose it's pretty likely that I will grow a few more and have some maturity. I am staying hopeful! I know it only takes one but...I want at least 3 to work with! Grow little grow...

CD 2

I start my medications on CD 3! Super excited! Dose is at 75 to begin with and I have another ultrasound to monitor my follicles. I asked how many follicles I can grow to maturity and they told me up to 4. I have a real good feeling about this!

Odd dreams

This morning I woke up from dreams of pregnancy tests and bfp! I woke up with a pit in my stomach remembering my reality and the fact I have NEVER gotten a bfp!!! Meds are on their way and will be here Friday. I am so hoping round 1 is a success but if not I hope round 2 or 3 is! I just want to be a mommy.

Meds

Meds are being processed and right now (I don't want to jinx it) it appears they will be apporved and we can start tx as soon as I get confirmed I am immune to rubella (blood test end of this month) and I start my next menstrual cycle. I do have to get a ultrasound completed to make sure my lining is the right size but...it appears we might get somewhere in November/ Dec!

Insurance talk

So, the other day I had a long drawn out conversation with my insurance comapny/billing dept at Dr. G's office. At work we had a slight change in plans and it confused the billing dept because they got approvals/ denials around the same time. Finally we got approved for IUI but we are still confused about injectable meds so we put an order in and fingers crossed...it will be approved. If not we will try Femara and IUI. Its a effective drug just not as aggressive as injectables. We still have until the end of the month to get this all figured out. Progress...progress!

Another setback

So a few hours ago I thought I was just waiting for my cycle to start so that I could start treatment. Then my doctor called and informs me that unfortunately I am no longer immune to rubella therefore I have to get a new MMR done that means that I have to put trying to conceive on hold for another 30 days after that immunization. I have waited 6 months to start  fertility treatments another 30 days seems like a lifetime more. I just wish that I could get things going because I know we still have a long road ahead of us. Hopefully I will have more information in 30 days.

CD 23 & WHOLE30

So, with my birthday Tuesday my daughter and husband insisted we celebrate with food and cake....cuz that's the American thing to do! So I gave in...I didnt want to disappoint my family. Today also marks cycle day 23 & still no positive ovulation message. I will keep going and am meal prepping today for next week.  I deff felt good last week and am a little upset with myself but am looking forward to more clean eating next week and exercise to jump the weight loss a little....

Whole30 starts 8/31/15

I'll do anything to have a baby! I have always been aware of my desire to be a mother. And at 14 I felt that chance was ripped away from me. I never really put my all into conceiveing with my husband because I never truly believed it could happen. Now, as I come upon my 27th birthday I've realized I am not getting any younger and I am willing to do what it takes to have a pregnancy a healthy and beautiful pregnancy. .. I've heard amazing results from ladies who have lost weight and started eating healthy and conceived naturally.  So I'm giving it a whole heartly try with Whole30! Its worth a try plus it will at least make me feel better and healthier which is half the battle! I am grateful my husband is always with me for the ride!

Blood sugars, healthy eating, weight

This week like some many others isnt going as planned. My eating plan took a wrong turn at one point and the same 'ol Jessica didn't what she always does and decided to give up! I wish I could get things under control for my sake, my family and for a chance to have a child....but no! That slice of pizza always does me in! Grrrrr!! Rant over!

Day 4 of provera

Today is day 4 of taking Provera and I have yet to start my period. I am kind of scared I won't start just because of the odd cycle I just had. I usually start my period after 5 days so fingers crossed it happens soon!
