"I'll become an expert at butt massages by the end of the day."
That is the quote of the day from my beloved husband. We went back to the Witch Doctor today. I know. I know. To borrow part of an expression from "Brokeback Mountain", I just can't quit her.
We have decided to go for a fresh IVF in the fantastic month of March. At the moment, my period is one day late. I was kind of mad about that, until I spoke with Witch Doctor. The timing could work out so that I don't have to take Birth Control pills this time. Hooray!
We didn't really want to talk about the previous cycle because I'm pretty sure we both believe my failure to take my thyroid meds torpedoed that situation. Anyways, I've been popping those pills since the big fat negative. Witch Doctor drew my blood to test the TSH levels again. We are hoping that they are in the 2 range so I don't have to change medication.
It's been weeks since my last progesterone shot and I still have some surface butt soreness. I asked Witch Doctor about it and she told me that I may need to go to a masseuse to request a butt massage. Hubby was more than happy to volunteer his free services. He later dropped that gem of a quote above on me: "I'll become an expert at butt massages by the end of the day." But I digress...
Even though I still think PGS/PGD is a waste of thousands of dollars since chromosomally normal embryos laugh at my uterus and vanish, we will pay for it again. However, Witch Doctor didn't press for it because she said I've proven that I can make normal blastocysts. What she didn't mention was I've also proven that really doesn't matter because my four beautiful "blastos" didn't stand a chance.
The Hubs and I are excited. We didn't get into the details of the protocol because we are waiting for my period to start, but I think I'll probably have the same cocktail: a little Menopaur and Bravelle, mixed with a shot of Human Growth Hormone.
Don't let my excitement fool you though. I'm still very concerned. If this one doesn't work, we will have only one more shot on this particular insurance. Lucky for me, I'm not married to this job, although I am thankful for it. Soooo, maybe I'll find another place with a new round of IVF coverage waiting for me? I guess I shouldn't get too far ahead of myself.
It's so funny that after my last retrieval, I told my husband to think about us donating our remaining embryos to help someone else. LOL! I needed every one of those damn things. This time I'm just hoping to get a good number of healthy eggs that fertilize. Here's to hoping one of them will stick and grow, right?
WALLY AND ROXIE UPDATE:
My dogs are absolutely crazy. Roxie loves Wally:-) Our puppy is four months old. He has all of his shots and he'll begin obedience classes this Sunday (thank the Lord). He is super energetic and curious. I can't keep up with him, which is a good thing. I think I've mentioned before that I lost five pounds after getting him. Roxie is getting skinny too:-) The Hubby and I enjoy working together to find ways to entertain him. I think Wally is the reason I didn't gain weight during the last transfer. Now, if the trend continues for the next retrieval, I'll love that dog forever.
I would include a new picture of my pack, but I don't really have one that I like. They are always moving fast and my camera moves slow:-(

So you're back on the crazy train for sure? I have to admit, I thought you might be out for good. Let's hope that the Witch Doctor can really work some voodoo this time with a protocol that will get you good and pregnant.

DeleteHey, if it was getting paid for by someone else, I would be too. Guess that makes us both suckers! :)
