Step one blood work

Today was my appointment at the fertility clinic to get my blood work done. I had to have a chromosome test and an infectious disease test. I have to call back Monday and find out the results of my chromosome test and I should know about my infectious disease test next week. Now I'm waiting for my period to start and within 3 days I will start medication to induce ovulation. I will also have to go in to get a baseline ultrasound done to see how my lining looks. After starting medication I will go in for another ultrasound to see how my follicles are growing and determine when to trigger ovulation. I feel positive about this direction but I am also ready for heartbreak just in case. Right now I need to focus on continuing to take care of myself and try to relax. At this point that's all I can do.

New news! 9/19/16

Hello! Wow its been a long time! I have been through so much since the last time I updated this blog. In short; I have had a pre cancer scare and had to stop ttc to deal with that. It was found through a routine altrasound with Dr. B. Then my fertility specialist wouldnt work with me until I had perfect control over my blood sugars (I'm a diabetic). Well months and months later my oncologist is just checking in with me until after pregnancy or something changes with my uterus and I have been given the green light to cont. Ttc with a NEW fertility specialist because I didnt like the way the other doctor treated me. But I really like my new RE. So, my insurance has approved me for clomid/femerea and artificial insemination. Until we can prove that it wont work we cant move on to injectables. Lots has happened and more to come! For now my job is to work on taking care of my body and making sure its ready in case I conceive!  Talk soon!

Ovulation today reading 11/1/15

CD 24 and ovusense is detecting that ovulation will be today.  Hoping this time it confirms last month it did not! Btw down about 5lbs. And tomorrow is my ultrasound. ... fingers crossed!

Another step towards baby Pickett

Today I bought prenatal vitamins as another step toward ttc. I am excited and hope in a couple months when I see RE my numbers look good and my weight is down enough....

Fertility specialist called!

I have an appt with Sher Institute on 1/5/16. I could have gotten in earlier but I want my husband there. I am so excited but nervous mostly nervous of being turned away due to cost, or other factors.  My goal start on vitamins/and lose weight ....as much as possible. Will update!

Doc B Appt

Hello, its been a little bit mostly because I was depressed I never ovulated last cycle and unfortunately didnt get a natural period either. On 10/8/15 I saw Dr. B for a pap. We talked about ttc again and she made a referral to Sher Institute in Peoria IL. I am excited but nervous.  Before that though...I am getting another ultrasound of my uterus to see if I have anymore polyps. If so that will need to be cleared up. I will try to keep this updated.  Hoping to lose 25 pds by first Sher Appointment so that isn't another issue they can throw in my face. ..
